A new study argues that people's instinct to treat probabilities as evenly split when they are uncertain is widespread. In a working paper Benjamin Enke and Thomas Graeber, both of Harvard University, argue that the bias towards 50:50 has shown up in many contexts. One is decision-making under known risks, such as gambling at a slot machine(老虎机). Economists have long realized that people are more sensitive to changes in probabilities the nearer they are to the boundaries of 0% and 100% For example, the chance of a big win of, say, $I million rising from 0% to 1% seems much more significant than the chance of the same win rising from 20% to 21%. At the extremes, there is a tendency to compress(压缩) odds to evens. Other researchers have found that ambiguous risks have a similar compression effect: it can make people act as if they are facing known odds that are closer to 50:50 than might seem rational, given the information on offer. Messrs Enke and Graeber argue that this tendency even shows up in surveys of expectations about the performance of the economy and the stockmarket. The authors suggest a new theory to explain this behavior: “cognitive uncertainty". It could be described as a simple lack of confidence. If people know that they may not be doing the sums right, or that their memory may be falling them, or that they are not sure what their own preference are, then their choices depend on the information they are presented and more on a “mental default" of equal probabilities. In a series of online gambling experiments Mr. Enke and Mr. Graeber show that the more uncertain people are in their judgements, the more likely they are to hedge their bets (几面下注)----even when they have access to information that should, in theory, be useful. Researchers have in the past suggested that odds of 50:50 are really code for “I don't know". Forecasters put odds on evens because words like "probable" and "likely" are interpreted very differently by different people. But numbers mean nothing without confidence. 【1】People tend to treat probabilities as evenly split when A.they are gambling at a fair slot machine. B.the economists have realized people's sensitivity. C.they are trying to earn more money in the boundaries. D.they follow their instinct for widespread uncertainty. 【2】We can conclude from the passage that the compression effect A.is considered very unique in extreme situations. B.applies when people make predictions for economic performance. C.enables ambiguous risks to be clearer and more obvious. D.affects people's answers on surveys of the stockmarket. 【3】According to the passage, if people lack confidence and certainty, they may____ when they are making decisions. A.depend on equality B.miss useful information C.forget things more easily D.make mistakes in their calculations 【4】What's the author's purpose in writing this passage? A.To explain the application of odds and evens. B.To offer tips on promoting people's confidence. C.To introduce a new study about odds and evens. D.To propose a new theory about cognitive uncertainty. |

Getting away may be good for your soul---but is it good for everyone else? ---By BEN HEALY If you feel like you need a vacation, you're almost certainly right Americans get far fewer paid days off than workers in petty much any other industrialized democracy and the time we actually take off has declined significantly, from 20.3 days in 1987 to 17.2 days in 2017. Beyond souvenirs and suntans, the best reason to take a break may be your own health. For the Helsinki Businessmen Study-- 40-year cardiovascular (心血管的) health study that also happens to be the working title of the solo album I'll probably never get around 10 recording ---researchers treated men at risk of heart disease. From 1974 to 2004 those men who took atl east three weeks of vacation were 379% less likely to die than those who t fewer weeks off. Even if we don't view time of as a matter of life and death, people who take more of their allotted vacation time tend to find their work more meaningful. Vacation can yield other benefits, too: People who took all or most of their paid vacation time to travel were more likely than others to report a recent raise or bonus. And time not taken depresses more than individual career prospects In 2017, the average us worker left six paid vacation days unused, which works out to 705 million days of travel nationally, enough to support 1.9 million travel-related jobs. From longevity to career growth to macroeconomic achievements, the cease for vacation seems open-and shut. Yet the picture's not entirely rosy. Tourism's carbon footprint grew four times as much as expected from 2009 to 2013, and accounted for 8 percent of all greenhouse gas emission in that period. What's more, the travel industry is expected to consume 92 percent more water in 2050 than it did in 2010, and 189 percent more land. In other environmental news, people are less likely too recycle while on vacation (both because they are unsure how to, and because getting away with things seems to be a key part of getting away from it all) The frisson(短暂的、突然的兴奋或恐惧) of pitching plastic is not the only thrill tempting travelers. Interviews wit tourists returning from various international destinations revealed that they used more drugs while on vacation than in everyday life. Other studies have found that people are more likely to eat with abandon while traveling: On vacations of one to three weeks, tourists gain an average of 0.7 pounds, a significant portion of average annual weight gain. Finally, a 2015 study found that "travel and leisure" provoked envy---perhaps the single most toxic substance known to man--more than any other attribute( 特性) examined (including "relationship and family," "appearance" and “money and material possessions"). The effect may be especially severe on social media: 62% of people who described Facebook-caused bouts(发作) of jealousy said they'd been triggered by travel or leisure experiences--versus less than a quarter of people whose envy had been piqued(激起) in person. So for your own health and sanity(心智健全)，book that vacation. But for everyone else's, please travel as sustainably as you can, and take it easy with the Instagram. 【1】From the first there paragraphs, we can learn that ______. A.souvenirs and suntans are not what people want when they go on vacation B.not using paid vacation days has little impact on a person’s career prospect C.the time Americans spend on vacation has decreased by about three days from 1987 to 2017 D.the man in Helsinki Businessmen Study are more likely than others to take a vacation 【2】Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “open-and shut" in paragraph 5? A.tricky and challenging B.uncertain and doubtful C.interesting and inspiring D.obvious and straightforward 【3】Which of the following statement is NOT true? A.People are more likely to gain weight when they take a vacation B.The booming of the tourist industry contributes to the acceleration of global warming C.The thrill of throwing plastic tempts travelers to travel more often D.Travel and leisure lead to more envious feelings compared with appearance or wealth 【4】It can be concluded that the author's tone in this passage is_____. A.objective B.skeptical C.sympathetic D.admiring |

The phrase "digital nomads(游民)" suggests joyful people who escape their daily work to travel the world, working with laptops on beaches. Relevant statistics regularly made the headline: “There will be one billion digital nomads by 2035". I started researching digital nomads in 2015, and it took me three years to develop an understanding of what might be going on. I've met hundreds of people who think of themselves as digital nomads and many more who have dreamed about becoming one. The first thing I learned is that how people feel about the label “digital nomad" changes over time. People starting out often assume it's a permanent lifestyle, but that's rarely the case. One of my respondents explained, “I don't go around calling myself a digital nomad now. It's a bit silly." Indeed, there's still debate about whether it's a buzzword(时髦用语) or a real phenomenon. Some have even tried to figure out how “authentic" a digital nomad is, by how much they move from place to place. And there has been heated debate online about who's a real digital nomad, and who is merely self-promoting. Most of the digital nomads I spoke to, who once had well-paid jobs, told me that they were escaping from deeply-rooted problems in the contemporary Western workplace. One of my respondents, Zeb, was working three restaurant jobs to pay the rent in San Francisco. The city sucked up all his time and money. This made him abandon his plans to sell recycled products online. Swapping expensive California for affordable South-East Asia helped Zeb to launch his own business. Lisette a skilled translator from Hamburg, Germany, is able to produce high-quality work quickly. She soon tired of the culture of presenteeism (出勤主义) at her workplace. She explained, “I'm efficient and I like to get the work done and leave on time. :Others were obviously scared to leave first, so they would sit at their desks and play with their computers." Nearly 40% of British adults believe their jobs don't make sense. Their housing is of poor quality and too expensive, and the economies don't provide young people with wages they can live on. With these challenges, it's hardly surprising that those new to the world are already desperate to escape. Yet there are certain complexities that come with living as a citizen of the world. As Lsstte said, "Digital nomads can quickly become isolated." Digital nomads have to shoulder responsibility for almost every aspect of modern life: their mental health, daily routine, income, safety and shelter. Most digital nomads travel on tourist visas, which requires them to move regularly ---an experience my participants have described as disorienting (使人迷失方向的). For those digital nomads who make a living as professional bloggers, it's also part of their job to sell the life-style. As a result, many try to present a stable and happy image online. Lissette explained, "There 's a danger---when my aunt sees my picture online, she thinks that everything looks so happy here on the beach. Of course, my digital identity always looks happier than my real life." But at some point, most of my research participants feel sorrow for the loss of some aspects, such as location dependence, regular work hours. or an office party. They miss some of the things they were escaping. Many nomads I've interviewed just pack up and go home without telling anyone. Being a digital nomad can be rewarding and offers an escape from the boring office hour. But it’s important that digital nomads think deeply about the importance of community and mental health in their lives. Freedom does not mean the same thing for everyone. 【1】What does the author think of digital nomads? A.Easy to get on with. B.Difficult to define. C.Extremely popular. D.About to disappear. 【2】What led Lissette to escape from her workplace? A.Fierce competition. B.Economic pressure. C.Rigid working system. D.Violation of personal space. 【3】What is an attractive aspect of being a digital nomad according to paragraph 4? A.Travelling the world. B.Enjoying more free time. C.Receiving steady incomes. D.Being free from real-life pressures. 【4】What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph? A.Think twice before becoming a digital nomad. B.Share your real life and job on the Internet. C.Have a much more comfortable lifestyle. D.Resign from a dead-end job as soon as possible. 【5】What would be the best title of the passage? A.Digital nomads: what future jobs will be like B.Digital nomads: a trend that will take over the world C.Digital nomads: an effective way to escape your everyday work D.Digital nomads: what it's really like to work while traveling the world |

请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。 If you see a group of people kneel in a circle on a beautiful beach bowing before little piles of sand, don't panic: They are not into some cut ritual(崇拜仪式) but rather undergoing a team building activity, which has become popular in China in the last few years. Team building aims to enhance social relations between members of a team, group or company address interpersonal problems, and improve performance in teamwork scenarios and thus maximize output. As many leaders prefer their teams to work that way, team building becomes a preferred choice to achieve that goal. However, things sometimes go wrong. Like the case mentioned in the beginning, the “Ceremony" implied participants were saying farewell 10 the past and were ready to embrace future. The original intention was not bad, but the way in was done was quite absurd. Many other ridiculous ceases have also become front-page stories. In January 2016, a company in East China's Nanjing, capital city of Jiangsu Province, asked its employees go into the streets crying slogans, hug women they didn't know, and even kiss dustbins alongside the roads-. In December 2017, a beauty company in Nanchang, East China's Jiangxi Province, held its 14th anniversary celebration, during which employees hit each other in the face after kneeling down. The company said it aimed to cultivate the so-called wolf spirit - a term popular among Chinese small and medium-sized companies- which seek to help workers make a firm decision to achieve success. But wait a minute, team building is meant to make members feel like living in a family, isn't it? Can these extreme activities make people feel so or at least enjoy the process? Many such activities have also turned into a way of pleasing the leadership. Moreover, almost all such team building is scheduled at weekends, sacrificing time with family members. This has completely gone off course. A team can be united if it works in a harmonious atmosphere with members willingly working together toward a goal, especially when the employers sets an example to care for everyone in the team rather than being fussy. A relaxed gathering will be more effective than exhausting team building programs designed to make staff better know each other and get closer. What is learnt during team building is more important than what form it takes, and a company should be aware of the importance of coordinating office atmosphere daily. It is unrealistic to make employees go deep into understanding the importance of teamwork or begin to love their company within just dozens of minutes of team building programs. After all, managing a team well is tougher than hurting employees' feelings.
