Psychologists who study optimization compare actual decisions made by people with theoretical ideal decisions to see how similar they are. Supporters of the worksheet procedure believe that it will yield optimal, that is, the best decisions. Although there are several variations on the exact format that worksheet can take, they are all similar in their essential aspects. Worksheets require defining the problem in a clear and concise way and then listing all possible solutions to the problem. Next, the relevant considerations that will be affected by each decision are listed, and the relative importance of each consideration or consequence is determined. Each consideration is assigned a numerical value to reflect its relative importance. A decision is mathematically calculated by adding these values together. The alternative with the highest number of points emerges as the best decision.Since most important problems are /tw的cefed(多层面的),there are several alternatives to choose from, each with unique advantages and disadvantages. One of the benefits of a pencil and paper decision-making procedure is that it permits people to deal with more variables than their minds can generally comprehend and remember. On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once. A worksheet can be especially useful when the decision involves a large number of variables with complex relationships. A realistic example for many college students is the question "What will I do after graduation? A graduate might seek a position that offers specialized training, pursue an advanced degree, or travel abroad for a year.A decision-making worksheet begins with a brief statement of the problem that will also help to narrow it. It is important to be clear about the distinction between long-range and immediate goals because long-range goals often involve a different decision than short-range ones. Focusing on long range goals, a graduating student might revise the question above to “What will I do after graduation that will lead to a successful career?Of the following steps, which occurs before the others in making a decision worksheet?A. Listing the consequences of each solution.B. Calculating a numerical summary of each solution.C. Deciding which consequences are most important.D. Writing down all possible solutions.61. According to decision-worksheet theory, an optional decision is defined as one that.A. has the fewest variables to considerB. uses the most decision worksheetsC. has the most points assigned to itD. is agreed by the greatest number of peopleThe author states that "On the average, people can keep about seven ideas in their minds at once" to explain thatA. most decisions involve seven stepsB. human mental capacity has limitationsC. some people have difficulty making minor as well as major decisionsD. people can learn to keep more than seven ideas in their minds with practiceWhat does the passage mainly discuss?A. A tool to assist in making complex decisions.B. A comparison of actual decisions and ideal decisions.C. Research on how people make decisions.D. Differences between long-range and short-range decision making.Section CDirections: Read the following passages. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box.

Being overworked or over-committed at home andon the job will not get ou where you want to be in life. It will only slow you down and hinder your career goals.Did you know women are more likely than men to feel exhausted? Nearly twice as many women than men ages 18-44 reported feeling, "very tired, or “exhausted J according to a recent study.67 It's also the age range when many women are trying to balance careers and home. One reasonwomen may feel exhausted is that they have a hard time saying "no." Women want to be able to do it all volunteer for school parties or cook delicious meals and so their answer to any request is often “Yes, I can.Women struggle to say "no" in the workplace for similar reasons, including the desire to be liked by their colleagues.68.At the workplace, men use conflict as a way to position themselves, while women often avoid conflict or strive to be the peacemaker, because they don't want to be viewed as aggressive or disruptive at work.69 Men aremore likely to face that dispute from the perspective of what benefits them most, whereas women may approach the same dispute from the perspective of what's the easiest and quickest way to resolve the problem even if that means doing the boring work themselves.This difference in handling conflict could be the deciding factor in who gets promoted to a leadership position and who does not.70 Shouldering more of the workload may not earn you that promotion. Instead, Itmay highlight your inability to delegate effectively.A. Unfortunately, this inability to say “no” may be hurting women's heath as well as their career.B. Leaders have to be able to delegate and manage resources wisely, including staff expertise.C. For example, there's a problem that needs to be addressed immediately, resulting in a dispute over who should be the one to fix it.D. Men and women tend to behave differently when faced with a disputeThis may not be surprising given that this is the age range when women have children .E. The reason why women in this age range suffer so much is that they cannot say "no."Summary Writing (10分)Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.Could fast food make it harder to stop and smell the roses?A new study from the University of Toronto suggests that fast food might make it harder to stop and smell theroses. Researchers pointed out that Americans have gained more and more leisure time, yet they aren't any happier. The problem could be that modern conveniences make us more impatient, and therefore less able to appreciate small moments of joy.To test the theory, the University of Toronto researchers carried out a few different tests focused on fast foods, the typical American "symbols of the culture of impatience J and happiness.In one of the tests, researchers told 257 people to rate pictures based on whether they were suitable for ads. Participants saw a series of pictures: One group saw fast food in regular packaging while the other group saw the same food set out on ceramic tableware (瓷器餐具).Afterward, some of the participants were shown photographs of “scenic natural beauty“ and then were asked to rate their happiness. Others rated their happiness without seeing the pictures. The researchers found that people who saw the fast food before viewing the nature photos tended to rate their happiness lower. Yet those who simply rated their happiness without seeing the nature shots beforehand were actually a little happier if they'd seen fast food in advance. Researchers said that suggests fast food doesn't directly cause unhappiness but decreases the ability to enjoy things.Researchers cautioned, however, that much more research was needed to determine exactly how fast food and happiness are correlated and how strong the relationship really is.IV.

This point of view seems 23(find) some support in existing studies that indicatea con-elation between creativity and "putting things off.”Grant explains that the link between moderate procrastination and originality likely 24(exist) becausewhen we actively put off a task for a while, our preoccupation with the task itself does not disappear. Instead, the unfinished work “runs in the background of our brains,25(buy) us time to find innovative solutions.One study 26
