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.

解析
本题考查副词成分,且本成分位于句子开头作状语对之后的句子进行修饰。首先分析本填空之后的句子信息为firms’ investment and R&D intensity were correlated with the happiness of the area in which they were________,此句子的大意是“企业的投资和研发力度与其所在地区的幸福度是相关的”。确定了被修饰的句子的意思后,根据对本文主旨倾向的把握,此句子所表达的意思一定是事实,四个选项的倾向性能对此句子所表达的事实进行肯定的只有A项Sure (确定),即Sure enough(足够确定地),因此A项为最佳答案。B项Odd(古怪的)和C项Unfortunate(不幸的)所表达的意思与文章主旨倾向不一致,而且都是形容词,不能修饰句子。而D项Often(经常)所表达意思虽然与文章倾向大体一致,但强烈程度不如A项Sure,均予以排除。
