Whats left is anecdotal evidence, kept alive by the tourist boat captains who have called it the Ladies Bridge.During the Second World War, with the majority of the active male labor force away at the front, women increasingly took on traditionally male roles. By 1944, 25,000 women were working in the construction industry, carrying out back-breaking tasks. These women were permitted to carry out this exhausting and dangerous work on the basis that it would only be temporary and that their pay would be lower than that of men. So the trend in women working in construction and engineering did not continue after the war.September sees a series of events celebrating the unknown work of the large female workforce. Musician Claudia Molitor has created a 45-minute musical entitled the Singing Bridge, which runs at Somerset House from 9 to 25 September. In late September, the Light up the Ladies Bridge event sees the National Theatre s fly tower lit up by large scale photographic projections (投影) of female construction workers working in construction during World War .Lets all celebrate the women who have helped to build the cities in which we live.24.

But a new study reveals players actually dont stick to a plan, rather they become irrational（不理智的） when making their next move - including using the same item that was once a winner.Researchers suggest that if you want to be victorious, choose paper because most people tend to go for rock. Even if participants had a set plan for their next move, their emotions would make the act irrational. Each of the three items carries equal status, which means the only rational method is to use each one an equal number of times any other approach is irrational, said researchers.The study revealed that participants followed a “win-stay, lose-shift” strategy in how they played the game, which means when they won a round they kept repeating their winning item. It wasnt until they lost did they change their action. Although the optimal strategy is to pick one of the three equally and at random, most people tended to overuse rock.“Rock, paper, scissors (RPS) is a game where predictions of human rational decision-making can be compared with actual performance,” reads the study published in the journal Scientific Reports. “Playing a computerized opponent adopting a mixed-strategy equilibrium, participants revealed a non-significant tendency to over-select rock.”“Its worrying that people tended to make more irrational decisions following a loss,” said Dr. Ben Dyson, lecturer in Psychology at the University of Sussex. “This could have more serious implications in higher-stake scenes where people are competing to defeat one another in economics or politics, for example. These irrational decisions are driven by an emotional reaction to a negative outcome and leaves people vulnerable to a smart opponent.” “Emotion might have some distracting effect that deteriorates (恶化) the quality of our thought. If we can learn to separate emotion from outcome, like successful Poker players, we might be able to mitigate（减轻） this risk.”32. According to the researchers, how do many people usually play the game RPS? A. They always go for paper. B. They form a wise strategy and stick to it. C. They pick one of the three equally and randomly. D. They use the same item as their next move after winning a round.33. Whats Dr. Ben Dysons attitude towards peoples overusing rock in the game RPS? A. Ambiguous. B. Concerned. C. Puzzled. D. Indifferent. 34. What does the underlined word vulnerable in paragraph 5 probably mean?A. Easily hurt. B. Deeply devoted. C. Widely spread. D. Absolutely accustomed.35. What will probably be discussed following the last paragraph? A. Definition of the “win-stay, lose-shift” strategy. B. Disadvantages of the tendency to over-select rock. C. Ways to separate emotion from outcome. D. Reasons for the popularity of the game RPS.第二节 (共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余项。Make your office better for your healthYou spend about half of your waking hours at your job.
