Later Tom told them about the test. Soon almost all the students knew about it. “How foolish they are!” he thought.

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.
9. 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.
10. What does the underlined word “disparity” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Difference. B. Preference. C. Growth. D. Potential.
11. 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.
12. 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
D

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.

考点:生活类短文阅读
C
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.
9. 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.
10. What does the underlined word “disparity” in paragraph 3 probably mean
A. Difference. B. Preference. C. Growth. D. Potential.
11. 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.
12. 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
【答案】9. D 10. A 11. C 12. D
【解析】
【导语】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了一个新的研究发现,人们在价值大致相同的选项中所花的时间要比在价值差异很大的选项中花的时间更多。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据文章第一段“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.(如果你在上哪所大学的问题上面临着两个价值相近的选择,你已经权衡了利弊,但仍然难以做出决定。你决定给它更多的时间,并多考虑一点。)”可知,做决策时,面对选项,人们总是花很长时间考虑。故选D。
【10题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词前面的“options that were roughly equal in value(价值大致相同的选项)”和后句“In other words, people took longer than they should have when deciding between two equally appealing choices.(换句话说,当人们在两个同样吸引人的选择中做出决定时,他们花的时间比他们应该花的时间长。)”以及“than”可知,划线单词的意思应该和“equal”相反,即参与者在价值大致相同的选项中花的时间,要比在价值差异很大的选项中花的时间更多。所以disparity为“区别”之意,与“difference”同义。可知选A。
【11题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“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.(就像我们很难区分价值相近的数字一样,我们也很难在大致相同的选项中做出选择。)”可知,当面临两个很相似的选项的时候,人们反而会犹豫不决。故选C。
【12题详解】
主旨大意题。根据最后一段“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.(当选项大致相等时,人们往往会花很长时间来做决定。这是否意味着,如果人们花很长时间来做决定,那么选择就会大致相等?也许在某些情况下,我们做决定花的时间越长,我们实际选择什么就越不重要。)”及全文可知,文章主要介绍了一个新的研究发现,人们在价值大致相同的选项中所花的时间要比在价值差异很大的选项中花的时间更多。所以“The more time, the better decision (时间越多,决定越好 )”作为文章标题最为合适。故选D。

十一、读后续写
66. 阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
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.
