If you face two similar valued options for where to attend college, you have weighed the pros and cons, but you still have difficulty deciding. You decide to give it more time, and think about it a bit more.
The findings of a fascinating paper titled Irrational Time Allocation in Decision-Making suggests you might be making a mistake. Participants in the research viewed images that contained pairs of different foods and they had to choose which item they preferred to eat.
The researchers found that participants spent more time choosing between options that were roughly equal in value than between options in which there was a large value disparity. In other words, people took longer than they should have when deciding between two equally appealing choices. When shown an unpleasant food alongside a favored food, participants chose quickly. When shown a favored food alongside another favored food, people took a while.
Relatedly, there is research suggesting that people take longer to distinguish between two numbers when there is a small difference than when there is a large one. For example, people take longer to determine which number is larger between 47 vs 49 than for 12 vs 35. Perhaps this tendency explains why people take so long to choose between two options with roughly equal payoffs. In the same way that we have difficulty distinguishing numbers that are nearly equal in value, we also have difficulty choosing between options that are roughly equally pleasant.
However, there are doubts among people. Some think this seems not reasonable. If two choices are equally appealing, then the decision shouldn’t take so long. Some wonder whether this works in the opposite direction—whether duration of decision-making implies that options are equal. When options are roughly equal, people tend to take a long time to decide. Does this suggest that if people take a long time to decide, then options are roughly equal Maybe in some instances, the longer we take to make a decision, the less it matters what we actually choose.
32．What’s people’s common practice in decision making
A．They often rush a decision without much thinking.
B．They seldom balance advantages and disadvantages.
C．They only concentrate on their personal preferences.
D．They tend to spend too much time on their options.
33．What does the underlined word “disparity” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A．Difference. B．Preference. C．Growth. D．Potential.
34．What does the research convey in paragraph 4
A．It is difficult for people to value their options.
B．The value of numbers is difficult to distinguish.
C．People hesitate when facing two similar choices.
D．People prefer to take those high-valued options.
35．What is the best title for the text
A．Never too late to make a decision B．Be patient with appealing choices
C．How to handle various choices D．The more time, the better decision

One day, a teacher asked her students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name. Then she told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.
That Saturday, the teacher wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and listed what everyone else had said about him or her. On Monday she gave each student his or her list. Before long, the entire class was smiling.
"Really " she heard whispers. "I never knew that I meant anything to anyone!" and, "I didn't know others liked me so much," were what she heard the most.
No one ever mentioned those sheets of paper in class again. The teacher never found out if they discussed about them after class or with their parents, but it didn't matter. The exercise had accomplished its purpose. The students were happy with themselves and one another. Then they graduated.
Several years later, one of the students was killed in Vietnam and his teacher attended the funeral. She had never seen a service man in a military coffin(棺材)before. He looked so handsome and so mature. The church was packed with his friends. One by one those who loved him took a last walk by the coffin. The teacher was the last one to bless the coffin.
As she stood there, one of the soldiers who acted as pall-bearer(抬棺者)came up to her. "Were you Mark's math teacher " he asked. She nodded. "Yes." Then he said. "Mark talked about you a lot."
After the funeral, Mark's former classmates went together to dinner. Everybody was still immersed in great grief, mourning for the loss of their beloved friend. Mark's mother and father were also there, wanting to speak to his teacher.

"We want to show you something," his father said, taking a wallet out of his pocket. “We found it when Mark was killed. We thought you might recognize it.”
The teacher carefully removed two worn pieces of notebook papers that had obviously been taped, folded and refolded many times. The teacher knew without looking that the papers were the ones on which she had listed all the good things each of Mark’s classmates had said about him. “Thank you so much for doing that,” Mark’s mother said and smiled, “As you can see, Mark treasured it.”
Paragraph 2:
All of Mark's former classmates started to gather around. One of them reached into her pocket, took out her wallet and showed her worn list to the group. “I carry this with me all the time. I think we all saved our list.” That’s when the teacher finally sat down and cried.
The density of people in society is so thick that we forget that life will end one day. And we don’t know when that day will come. So please tell the people you love and care for that they are special and important.
