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.

A、After
B、Until
C、While
D、Since
答案
C
解析
本题考查上下文逻辑关系,即通过定位和分析本填空所在的句子与之后的句子来判定内在的逻辑关系是什么。本填空所在句子信息是this doesn’t prove that happiness causes firms to invest more or to take a longer-term view(这并不能证明快乐导致企业投资更多或眼光长远),之后的句子信息是“作者相信至少有这种可能性”。通过分析前后句子的原文信息,发现两者之间明显存在着对立转折的关系,并且根据全文的主旨倾向也可以判断出本填空所在句子,即“这并不能证明快乐导致企业投资更多或眼光长远”是与文章的主旨倾向有矛盾的,从逻辑上看下一句也起码是应该对此句有所反对的。据此四个选项中表达对立转折关系的是C项While(然而)。A项After(之后)、B项Until(直到)和D项Since(自从)所表达的逻辑关系不符合前后文的实际逻辑关系,予以排除。
