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.
【C14】
选项
A、serious
B、civilized
C、ambitious
D、experienced
答案
D
解析
本题考查形容词辨析。本形容词的被修饰成分是名词managers,且之前出现less对本形容词进行修饰。本形容词实际上出现在一个明显的关联结构中,即younger and less________managers,可知managers受到两个平行对应的形容词的修饰,第一个形容词是已知信息younger(更为年轻的),本填空一定是选择与younger意思和性质相近的形容词。四个选项中D项experienced(有经验的)最符合要求。同时再根据被修饰的名词managers之后出现的由who引导的定语从句,此定语从句也是对managers进行修饰,其作用与younger and less________是一样的,因此该定语从句的意思同样是判断本填空的线索,而该定语从句的意思是“更易为情绪所影响”,在四个选项中与此定语从句表达的意思一致的只有D项,因为“年轻和经验欠缺的经理人”才是“更易为情绪所影响的经理人”。A项serious(严肃的)、B项civilized(文明的)和C项ambitious(有野心的)所表达的意思与younger无法构成性质一致的近似意思,也无法与managers之后的定语从句意思一致,均予以排除。
