问题     From climate change to the ongoing pandemic (大流行病) and beyond, the issues facing today’s world are increasingly complex and dynamic. Yet solving problems like these requires new approaches that extend beyond traditional ways of thinking. A study led by Yale Professor of Psychology, Paul O’Keefe, found that having a growth mindset (思维倾向) of interest may spark this type of innovation.
    Professor O’Keefe established in earlier studies that people hold different beliefs about the nature of interest. Those with a growth mindset of interest tend to believe that interests can be developed and cultivated, while those with a fixed mindset of interest tend to believe that interests are inherent (与生俱有的) and simply need to be ’found. ’ Building on these findings, the latest research examined how a growth mindset of interest can boost integrative thinking across the traditional disciplinary boundaries of arts and sciences.
    For example, in one task, research participants were instructed to create new college majors by combining two or more existing academic Arts or Science programs at their university. After coding and analyzing the ideas they generated, the team found that people with a growth mindset of interest were more likely to bridge programs across the arts and sciences to create new majors like computational economics rather than creating majors that drew from only one of those areas, like computational chemistry.
    As Professor O’Keefe pointed out, "This research provides a useful direction for organizations whose products and services call for integrated and creative solutions. Take smartphones for example. You need not only computer science and engineering knowledge, but also an understanding of psychology and visual design to create a better product. Employees with a growth mindset may be more likely to devise innovative ideas that bridge multiple areas of knowledge to achieve better solutions."
    The benefits of a growth mindset of interest may also extend to those seeking employment. This is a pressing issue because many people are becoming unemployed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Having a growth mindset of interest can help job seekers expand their interests and become more adaptable to different fields, and take the initiative to learn new skills.
What is the author’s suggestion to those who are seeking employment?
选项 A、Learning practical skills.
B、Broadening their interests.
C、Staying safe in the pandemic.
D、Knowing their pressing issues.
答案B
解析 推理判断题。定位句指出，兴趣增长型思维的好处也可能延伸到那些寻求就业的人身上。该段最后解释说，拥有兴趣增长型思维可以帮助求职者拓展兴趣，更好地适应不同领域。由此可知，求职者应当拓展兴趣，以增加就业机会，故答案为B)。文中并未提及A)“学习一些实用技能”和C)“在大流行病期间注意安全”，故排除；最后一段第二句提到就业是一个紧迫的问题，因为许多人由于COVID-19疫情而失业，而不是说找工作的人要了解他们的紧迫问题，故排除D)。
