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.
【C3】
选项
A、sufficient
B、famous
C、perfect
D、necessary
答案
D
解析
本题考查形容词辨析。本形容词出现在一个后置定语从句中,这个定语从句省略了which is。此定语从句的先行词是the kind of longer-term thinking,对其起到修饰的作用。因此只要确定这个起修饰作用的定语从句与被修饰的先行词之间的关系就可以确定本题的答案。先行词the kind of longer-term thinking的意思是“那种长远的考虑”,而后置定语从句for making investments for the future的意思是“为未来做投资”,“长远考虑”对“为未来做投资”而言是必要的前提条件,这个意思衔接最为合理,因此本填空的最佳答案为D项necessary(必需的,必要的)。其他三个A项sufficient(足够的)、B项famous(有名的)和C项perfect(完美的)所表达的意思无法构成前后文的顺畅衔接,均予以排除。
