Happy people work differently. They’re more productive, more creative, and willing to take greater risks. And a 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 in equality.
【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.
【C11】
选项
A、desirable
B、sociable
C、reputable
D、reliable
答案
A
解析
根据本句的意思:为了弄清楚这一点,研究者们掌握了各种能够促使公司更愿意投资的因素,比如大小、行业、销售额,以及一个城市使人更渴望居住的指标,如工资增长或人口增长。故选A desirable。其他选项在含义上与上下文无法衔接。
