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.
【C13】
选项
A、attribute
B、assign
C、transfer
D、compare
答案
A
解析
本题考查动词辨析。本动词的主语是the authors,之后衔接的原文信息为to "less codified decision making process" and the possible presence of "younger and less________managers who are more likely to be influenced by sentiment."根据语法可知,本动词所在的句子是由which引导的非限定性定语从句,对前面的整个句子进行修饰,而前面的句子The correlation between happiness and investment was particularly strong for younger firms的意思是“快乐与投资之间的关联性对于年轻的企业而言尤其明显”,据此判断本非限定性定语从句大概是对此进行解释或说明,再根据非限定性定语从句中出现的managers who are more likely to be influenced by sentiment(更易为情绪所影响的经理人),可以断定本非限定性定语从句就是对之前的“快乐与投资之间的关联性对于年轻的企业而言尤其明显”进行解释说明。由此可知,本题最佳答案为A项attribute(归因于),而词组attribute to的意思就是“归因于,归咎于”,最符合题意。B项assign(分派)、C项transfer (转移)和D项compare(比较)虽然在语法上均可以与to构成搭配,但所表达的意思均不符合题意。
