问题 Scientists have found that although we are prone to snap overreactions，if we take a moment and think about how we are likely to react，we can reduce or even eliminate the negative effects of our quick，hard0wired responses．
    Snap decisions can be impoaant defense mechanisms；if we are judging whether someone is dangerous，ourbrains and bodies are hard-wired to react very quickly，within milliseconds.But we need more time to assess other factors．To accurately tell whether someone is sociable，studies show，we need at least a minute，preferably five．It takes a while to judge complex aspects of personality，like neuroticism or open-mindedness．
    But snap decisions in reaction to rapid stimuli aren’t exclusive to the interpersonal realm•Psychologists at the University of Toront。found that viewing a fast-food logo for just a few milliseconds primes us toread 20 percent faster，even though reading has little to do with eating. We unconseiouslv associate fast food with speed and impatience and carry those impulses into whatever else we，re doing．Subjects exposed to fast-food flashes also tend to think a musical Piece lasts too long.
    Yet we can reverse such influences．If we know we will overreact to consumer Products or housing options when we see a happy face(one reason good sales representatives and real estate agents are always smiling)，we can take a moment before buying．If we know female job sereeners are more likelv to reject attractive female applicants，we can help screeners understand their biases or hire outside screeners．
  Jobn Gottman，the marriage expert，explains that we quickly“thin slice”information reliably onlv after we ground such snap reactions in“thick sliced”long-term study.When Dr.Gottman really Nants to assess whether a couple will stay together，he invites them to his island retreat for a much 10nger evaluation：two days，not two seconds.
    Our ability to mute our hard-wired reactions by pausing is what differentiates us from animals：dogs can think about the future only intermittently or for a few minutes．But historically we have spent about 12 percent of our days contemplating the longer term．Although technology might change the way we react，it hasn’t changed our nature．We still have the imaginative capacity to rise above temptation and reverse the high-speed trend．
    请回答下列问题。
The author’s attitude toward reversing the high-speed trend is____________．
选项 A、tolerant
B、uncertain
C、optimistic
D、doubtful
答案C
解析 态度题。由关键词定位到最后一段。最后两句说“虽然技术可以改变我们的反应方式，它并没有改变我们的本性。我们仍然有想象力超越诱惑并扭转这种快速反应的趋向”。由此可以看出作者的态度是非常确定的，因此B项“不确定的”首先排除。We still have the imaginative capacity…表明作者对于我们的能力是有信心的，因此C项“乐观的”正确。A项“容忍的”以及D项“怀疑的”原文均没有体现。故本题选C。
