Happy people work differently. They’re more productive, more creative, and willing to take greater risks. And new research suggests that happiness might influence【C1】________firm’s work, too.
Companies located in places with happier people invest more, according to a recent research paper.【C2】________, firms in happy places spend more on R&D (research and development). That’s because happiness is linked to the kind of longer-term thinking【C3】________for making investments for the future.
The researchers wanted to know if the【C4】________and inclination for risk-taking that come with happiness would【C5】________the way companies invested. So they compared U.S. cities’ average happiness【C6】________by Gallup polling with the investment activity of publicly traded firms in those areas.
【C7】________enough, firms’ investment and R&D intensity were correlated with the happiness of the area in which they were【C8】________. But is it really happiness that’s linked to investment, or could something else about happier cities【C9】________why firms there spend more on R&D? To find out, the researchers controlled for various【C10】________that might make firms more likely to invest—like size, industry, and sales—and for indicators that a place was【C11】________to live in, like growth in wages or population. The link between happiness and investment generally【C12】________even after accounting for these things.
The correlation between happiness and investment was particularly strong for younger firms, which the authors【C13】________to "less codified decision making process" and the possible presence of "younger and less【C14】________managers who are more likely to be influenced by sentiment." The relationship was【C15】________ stronger in places where happiness was spread more【C16】________. Firms seem to invest more in places where most people are relatively happy, rather than in places with happiness inequality.
【C17】________this doesn’t prove that happiness causes firms to invest more or to take a longer-term view, the authors believe it at least【C18】________at that possibility. It’s not hard to imagine that local culture and sentiment would help【C19】________how executives think about the future. "It surely seems plausible that happy people would be more forward-thinking and creative and【C20】________R&D more than the average," said one researcher.
【C15】
选项
A、thus
B、instead
C、also
D、never
答案
C
解析
本题考查上下文逻辑关系。首先定位填空前后信息之间存在何种逻辑关系,再根据此逻辑关系去确定选项。本填空所在的句子信息为The relationship was________ stronger in places where happiness was spread more________。此处的The relationship指代的就是之前句子中的The correlation between happiness and investment,并且本句子中出现了比较级stronger,因此是与前句进行比较,而前句的信息也是在表达The correlation between happiness and investment was particularly strong,分析到这里可以判断前后文是递进关系,四个选项中表达此逻辑关系的是选项C项also(也,并且)。A项thus(因此)表达因果逻辑关系,B项instead(反而)和D项never(从未)均表达转折逻辑关系,均不符合前后文的递进逻辑关系,予以排除。
