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.

选项
A、rapidly
B、regularly
C、directly
D、equally
答案
D
解析
本题考查副词辨析。本副词修饰的是spread,而且有比较级more,spread的主语是happiness,即本副词用来修饰happiness是如何spread的。本句子之后的信息为Firms seem to invest more in places where most people are relatively happy rather than in places with happiness inequality. (企业似乎在大多数人都相对快乐的地方投资更多,而非快乐指数分布不均衡的地方。)此句子的信息实际上已经提示了本填空的答案,此句与本填空所在的句子也构成明显的复现呼应结构,因此本填空的答案是D项equally(均衡地),即强调“在快乐分布均衡的地方,快乐促进投资的相关性会更强烈。”A项rapidly(迅速地)、B项regularly(定期地)和C项directly(直接地)所表达的意思与原文提示性的已知信息构不成呼应关系,与原文主题内容无关,属于无关词,均予以排除。
