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.
【C9】
选项
A、explain
B、overstate
C、summarize
D、emphasize
答案
A
解析
本题考查动词辨析。本动词的主语为something else about happier cities,本动词的宾语是一个why引导的宾语从句,即why firms there spend more on R&D(为什么那里的企业投入更多做研发)。从语法的角度,四个选项都可以与此宾语从句构成搭配,都可以形成句意。但如果分析本句子之前的信息,发现之前出现了But引导的转折,即But is it really happiness that’s linked to investment,说明文章此处对“快乐促进投资”提出了一种质疑。因此我们可以判断出文章此处要表达的意思是“快乐城市的企业投资和研发投人高确实是事实”,但一定是快乐促进了企业投资高吗?还是快乐城市有其他因素导致企业的投资高呢?符合这个上下文意思和逻辑的只有A项explain(解释)。B项overstate(夸大)、C项summarize(总结)和D项emphasize(强调)所表达的意思均不符合上下文的内在逻辑关系。
