Society is suffering from an inability to acknowledge as much.For individuals, errors are painful. The trick,

12、then, is to err well: to recognize mistakes and learn from them. Worryingly, humanity may be getting worse at admitting its mistakes.Few enjoy the feeling of being caught out in an error. But real trouble starts when the desire to avoid a punishment leads to a refusal to deal with contrary evidence.

13、 Economists often assume that people are sensible. When faced with a new fact, these people should update their view of the world to take better decisions in future. Yet years of economic research confirms that people frequently disregard information that conflicts with their view of the world.Why s

14、hould that be? Last year Roland Benabou, of Princeton, presented a framework for thinking about the problem. In many ways, beliefs are like other economic goods. People spend time and resources building them, and get value from them: some beliefs make owners feel good and show their public identity;

15、 other beliefs provide value by shaping behaviorfor example, religious asceticism(禁欲主义) can help one avoid unhealthy habits.Because beliefs, however, are not simply tools for making good decisions, but are treasured in their own right, new information that challenges them is unwelcome. People often

16、engage in “motivated reasoning” to manage such challenges. Mr Benabou classifies this into three categories. “Strategic ignorance” is when a believer avoids information offering conflicting evidence. In “reality denial”， troubling evidence is rationalized(合理化)：real estate investors might make up fan

17、ciful theories for why prices should behave unusually, and supporters of a disgraced politician might claim the negative news to be fake. And lastly, in “selfsignalling”， the believer creates his own tools to interpret the facts in the way he wants: an unhealthy person, for example, might decide tha

18、t going for a daily run proves he is well.“Motivated reasoning” is a cognitive bias(偏见). Not all the errors it leads to are costly: praising the performance of ones supported football team despite contradictory evidence does little harm. But when biases are broadly sharedwithin financial world or po

19、litical partiesdanger arises. Motivated reasoning helps explain why viewpoints polarize (两极分化) even as information is more easily available than ever before.Work by Mr Benabou suggests that groupthink is highest when people within groups face a shared fate: when choosing to break from a group is unl

20、ikely to spare an individual the costs of the groups errors or bring much individual benefit. The incentive(动力) to engage in motivated reasoning is high as a result. Even as the fact on a particular issue is obvious, parties can still become increasingly polarized. That, in turn, can make it harder

21、still for a member of one party to get any benefit from breaking from a group. Indeed, the group has an incentive to silence independent voices.Public statements of regret are risky in a rigidly polarized world. Admissions of error can not only annoy partners but also provide opportunities for oppon

22、ents. But it is rarely in the interest of those in the right to pretend that they are never wrong.1、According to the passage, beliefs are similar to economic goods in that _Aboth are entertaining and valuable Bboth can be shaped by religious faithCboth can reflect who the owners are Dboth promote re

25、p.DIndividuals in a group engage in motivated reasoning for their own interests.4、Which of the following opinions might the author agree with?ADenying errors is unavoidable.BFailure to admit errors is harmful.CHumans are getting better at erring well.DWise people ignore contrary worldviews.22（8分） Me

26、n dont go through pregnancy or childbirth. Their hormone (荷尔蒙) levels dont nosedive. What exactly have they got to be depressed about? Quite a lot, according to research from Sweden showing that, over the past 10 years, a significant number of men have struggled with the transition(过渡) to fatherhood

27、.This latest research tries to quantify just how many men get postnatal(产后)depression. Previous studies have found between 4% and 10% of men. while, in this smallish sample of 447 Swedish fathers who volunteered (and may therefore not represent your average dad), a surprising 28% of men had symptoms

28、 that scored above mild levels of depression. Overall, 4% had moderate depression. Fewer than one in five fathers who were depressed sought help, even though a third of those had thought about harming themselves. While women in the UK are often asked a series of questions that screen for postnatal d

29、epression (which affects up to 13% of women), the mental health of fathers is rarely assessed.The lead author of the Swedish paper, Elisa Psouni, from the department of psychology at Lund University, says the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale(EPDS) used for both women and men is not so accurate i

30、n picking up depression in fathers. Her research showed higher levels of depression in dads because it added in a score more reflective of male symptoms of depression such as agitation, anger, irritability(易怒), working longer hours and drinking too much.Depression in fathers may be rising not just b

31、ecause researchers are looking for it, but because more new dads are struggling. Psouni believes fathers increasingly face the same dilemmas that mothers do-including trying to combine parenthood with working Fathers who got depressed often had external pressures, such as job issues, and if their pa

32、rtner was depressed, their own risk of depression doubled. Lack of sleep, having twins and conflict in the relationship can all contribute.A depressed dad will play and smile less with his child. Children are deeply affected by paternal postnatal depression with studies showing poorer measures of we

33、llbeing and more behavioral problems at the age of seven.Fathers who sense they may be struggling and partners, relatives or friends who notice an increase in imitability and anxiety in a man in the first year of parenthood (paternal depression is more dispersed throughout the first 12 months) shoul

34、d consider the possibility of paternal postnatal depression.Cognitive behavioral therapy(认知行为疗法) can help, as can antidepressants. If the depression is not recognised, says Psouni, one of most terrible things is that you catch up with yourself a year later and realise you have been really down and s

36、 fatherhood.2、What do the statistics in Paragraph 2 indicate?AThe researchers should invite more Swedish fathers.BOver half of Swedish fathers tend to harm themselves.CThe mental health of fathers deserves more attention.DPostnatal depression affects British women more easily.3、Why did Psounis resea

39、e a pay rise or promotion, the solution could be simple eat the same food as they do. Psychologists have discovered managers are much more likely to instantly trust us if we choose the same dishes as them.During experiments, discussions over wages and work conditions were much more successful if bot

40、h sides chose to snack on the same treats. And shoppers were much more likely to buy a product advertised on TV by someone eating a similar food to them at the time.The reason is thought to be so-called similarity attraction theory where people tend to like others who have similar tastes or habits t

41、o themselves. But this is believed to be one of the first studies highlighting the role of food in this relationship. Researchers atChicagoUniversityin theUSconducted a series of experiments to examine foods role in earning trust.In a test, participants were told to watch TV where someone pretending

42、 to be a member of the public praised a certain product. The volunteers were given Kit Kat bars to nibble (咬), while the TV people ate either a Kit Kat or grapes as they talked.The results showed viewers were much more likely to express an interest in buying the product if the TV showed the other pe

43、rson eating a Kit Kat too.The researchers added, “Although similarity in food consumption is not a sign of whether two people will get along, we find consumers treat this as such. They feel more trusting of those who consume as they do. It means people can immediately begin to feel friendship and de

44、velop a bond, leading to smoother transactions (交易) from the start.”Harley Streetpsychologist Dr. Lucy Atcheson said it was already known that wearing similar clothes could instantly create trust. But this was the first report that food had the same effect. She said, “This is really interesting. It

45、makes sense as people feel they have common ground and can trust the other person. That means negotiations are more likely to be successful.”1、According to the passage, customers are likely to buy a product from a dealer who _.Ahas the same taste as themBadvertises his products on TVCreduces the pri

47、oreDpeople have less interest in buying products advertised on TV3、What can be inferred from the passage?APeople who eat similar food are more likely to trust each other.BPeople will get along with each other if they like to eat similar things.CThe effect of wearing similar clothes hasnt been proved

48、 by researchers.DPeople are more likely to make friends with those wearing the same clothes as them.4、Which of the following sayings can be an example of the similarity attraction theory?AHonesty is the best policy.BAll good things come to an end.CBirds of a feather flock together.DWhere there is a

55、you in and out with a minimum of trouble. When you are pressed for time on a business trip, nothing can infuriate you more than a slow hotel check-in process. On your next trip, try these hotels that offer a speedier check-in process.1. Yotel New YorkThe self-service kiosks at this high-tech New Yor

56、k hotel work just like the ones youd see at an airport. There are just five-steps to register and obtain your card key. There is even a robotic luggage bellboy. You tap in the number of bags you are carrying and sizes, then wait for a robot arm to swing down and store your luggage in a locker (say,

57、for a day trip). This also speeds up the check-in process if the first thing you need to do, like me, is head to a series of meetings.2. Marriott Detroit AirportAnother option for business travelers in a hurry: Marriott is rolling out its mobile check-in app to 325 hotels this year, including the Ma

58、rriott Detroit Airport hotel. (Ive tested the app itself but not for a real visit quite yet.) Here is the basic idea: you download the iphone or Android app. The night before, you can “check-in” virtually. When you arrive, you get an alert that the room is ready and your key, which is already tied t

59、o your reservation, is waiting for you at the desk.3. Hyatt Regency MinneapolisI happened to stay at this hotel recently and liked how fast the kiosk check-in works. Like the Yotel, the kiosk asks you to insert your credit card, similar to an airport terminal. The whole process took about three minu

60、tes, when I left, I was equally impressed with the fast check-out. An agent meets you in the lobby with an ipad and asks for an email to use for a receipt. The big advantage: you never have to wait in line.4. Radisson: LaCrosseThe Radisson is trying to make the kiosk process even faster, at a few se
