But a New Jersey-based company, called TerraCycle, has taken on the challenge, and

21、 has come up with a way to recycle millions of cigarette butts and turn them into industrial plastic products.

38、 food is delicious and the service is fine. You decide to leave a big fat tip. Why? The answer may not be as simple as you think.Tipping, psychologists have found, is not just about service. Instead, studies have shown that tipping can be affected by psychological reactions to a series of different

39、factors from the waiters choice of words, to how they carry themselves while taking orders, to the bills total. Even how much waiters remind customers of themselves can determine how much change they pocket by the end of the night.“Studies before have shown that mimicry(模仿) brings into positive feel

He requested that half serve with a phrase such as. “ Co

41、ming up !” Those in the other hall were instructed to repeat the orders and preferences back to the customers. Rick van Baaren then compared their take-home pay. The results were clearit pays to mimic your customer. The copycat(模仿者) waiters earned almost double the amount of tips to the other group.

42、Leonard Green and Joel Myerson, psychologists at Washington University in St. Louis, found the generosity of a tipper maybe limited by his bill. After research on the1,000 tips left for waiters, cabdrivers, hair stylists, they found tip percentages in these three areas dropped as customers bills wen

43、t up. In fact, tip percentages appear to plateau(稳定期) when bills topped $100 and a bill for $200 made the worker gain no bigger percentage tip than a bill for $100.“Thats also a point of tipping,” Green says. “You have to give a little extra to the cabdriver for being there to pick you up and someth
