13、terJet lag(时差感）may be the worst part of travelling, and it hits many people harder travelling east than west. Why they feel this way is 41_, but scientists recently developed a new model that provides an explanation for the mystery and insights on recovering from jet lag.The model imitates the way n

14、euronal oscillator cells (神经振子细胞）42_ crossing timezones. These cells in our brains 43 _our biological docks. However，the cells dont quite operate on a perfect 24-hour schedule. Instead, their activity follows a 44_ that lasts slightly longer than that, about 24.5 hours. According to Michelle Girvan,

15、 an associate professor of physics at the University of Maryland and a co-author of the study, that means its 45_ for us to extend the length of a dayfor example, by flying west across time zonesthan to shorten the day, by flying east.The scientists found that for 46_ travel, a person who crossed th

17、e time zones going east, it takes a little more than four days to recover. For six time zones, the recovery time 49_ to more than eight days. And for nine time zones, the recovery period is more than 12 days.Girvan noted that not everyone has a biological clock of exactly 24.5 hours. 50_ , it varies

18、 from person to person. The other factor to consider is 51_ cues such as sunlight, Girvan added. How a person reacts to these cues can also 52_how quickly he or she will adjust to a new time zone. The scientists hope that their new model can be used in the future to figure out the best ways to 53_ j

19、et lag. For example, if you will be traveling six time zones eastward, start by setting your clock ahead an hour or two several days before you leave. And when you arrive in a new time zone, make sure that the outside cues you are exposed to 54 _the new time zone. That means that if its daytime in t

29、g at the mission. Mother Amadeus then set her up as the first African-American female employee of the U.S. Postal Service.

43、 fascinating new book called Wiser: Getting Beyond Groupthink to Make Groups Smarter, written by Cass R. Sunstein, a former White House official, and Reid Hastie, an academic specialized in the psychology of decision making. Building on their combined experiences and research, Sunstein and Hastie an

44、alyze what goes wrong in group decision-making, and then offer clear-out solutions to overcome these problems.Group decision-making involves discussions among members of a group, each with their own skills, experience, ideas and information. Unfortunately, as the authors explain, there are two types

45、 of influence on group membersinformational signals and social pressureswhich skew (扭曲）the discussions. Informational signals cause people to keep information to themselves when it disagrees with information from others, especially leaders. Social pressures cause people to keep information to themse

46、lves to avoid punishment from leaders who are denied.These influences lead to four problems, the authors write: Instead of correcting the errors of their members, groups actually expand those errors; cascade effects (联级效应）take over when the group follows whomever spoke first or loudest; groups becom

47、e more extreme in their ideas, as the internal discussions strengthen their predisposed（预先有倾向的）thoughts; and groups focus on shared information instead of unshared information.Having laid out the core problems, the authors offer solutions.
