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.
【C4】
选项
A、individualism
B、modernism
C、optimism
D、realism
答案
C
解析
本题考查名词辨析。本名词与之后的名词词组inclination for risk-taking通过连接词and构成并列搭配,且共同充当主语。这表明了本填空与inclination for risk-taking形成明显的关联结构,即本填空中的名词与inclination for risk-taking一定是同性质的概念。inclination for risk-taking表示“对风险的偏好”,而根据文章的主旨倾向Happy people work differently. They’re more productive, more creative, and willing to take greater risks. 就可以断定“对风险的偏好”与主旨倾向是一致的,本填空的名词一定也具有同倾向。四个选项中最佳答案是C项optimism(乐观,乐观主义),这个词语与happiness基本是同义,也是四个选项中与主旨倾向和inclination for risk-taking最为一致的词语,因此为最佳答案。其他三个A项individualism(个人主义)、B项modernism(现代主义)和D项realism(现实主义)所表达的意义与本文的主旨以及inclination for risk-taking均无关,予以排除。
