9、n finance in Chile, I started questioning my career choice. In the man-dominated finance world, it was hard for me to climb the ladder. I decided to make a change. So I left my job, wondering what would be my next step. The following year witnessed me taking various classes to find what I was passio

10、nate about until the science of making bread appealed to me, which brought me waves of excitement.In 2017, my husband and I moved to Lansdale, where I got a certificate from a 12-week general baking program. I had intended to open a bakery, but the high rent and the slight chance of gaining money so

11、on discouraged me from taking a risk. When seeing that baking bread was a locally lost art, I figured that teaching baking classes could be my choice. Yet, my accent and my born shyness put me at disadvantage in public speaking. At the critical moment, my husband was the one who told me, “You can do

12、 this. ”In 2018, I rented space in Lansdale and created Vituperio Artisan Breads &. Studio. I started small by offering free classes, not knowing whether I could make it. To deal with my initial nervousness, I approached teaching like I were an actor until I got myself comfortable in the class. In t

13、his way I not only tested myself but also learnt about what those attendants were interested in and capable of, thus attracting more people to my baking classes. All the classes were in person until March 2020, when I had to switch to teaching online. People told me it was a blessing and a joy to be

14、 able to make tasty bread during the pandemic.As an immigrant, I took the initial leap of faith down a new path to start a business from scratch, hard as it might be.

You decide to gi

18、ve 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 pr

19、eferred 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 choic

20、es. 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 th

21、an 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 distinguishin

22、g 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 shouldnt take so long. Some wonder whethe

23、r this works in the opposite directionwhether 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, t

24、he longer we take to make a decision, the less it matters what we actually choose.8Whats peoples common practice in decision making?AThey often rush a decision without much thinking.BThey seldom balance advantages and disadvantages.CThey only concentrate on their personal preferences.DThey tend to s

26、People hesitate when facing two similar choices.DPeople prefer to take those high-valued options.11What is the best title for the text?ANever too late to make a decisionBBe patient with appealing choicesCHow to handle various choices?DThe more time, the better decision?Imagine a world where everythi

Connected buildings then make smart cities, where buildings talk to one another and future function can be predicted. In Australias state of Victoria, local

Placing thousands of sensors throughout the production line allows comp anies to see how work is performed at each step of the process, system efficiency and any bott

Personalized medicines or treatments could then be developed using a medical twin of each patient. And even health problems could be cut out before they begin.“I think ma

32、intaining a persistent set of computerized models that are constantly being updated and evolved alongside physical equivalents is really the essence of digital twins,” said Michael Kapteyn, a leading researcher studying digital twin computer models. In the foreseeable future, digital twins may event
