8、 air conditioning, a wife and her husband were visiting her parents in a small town. As they were relaxing one day, the wifes father suggested that they all drive to Abilene for dinner. The son-in-law dreaded the hot drive to a town 53 miles away, but said OK to avoid being a rude guest. The wife an

9、d mother-in-law both said it sounded good, so they went off.Having the not very good food and returning home hot and sweaty, the mother-in-law said they would never have taken the terrible trip if it had been up to her. The son-in-law said that he chose to agree because the others wanted to go. Fina

10、lly, the father-in-law said he only suggested it because he thought the younger couple might be bored at home.This story happened to Jerry B. Harvey who later became a university professor. In 1974 he told it in an article entitled, “The Abilene Paradox (悖论): The Management of Agreement”, which show

11、s that sometimes a consensus (一致) of opinion may not lead to achieving the desired result. The Abilene paradox sounds like groupthink. But in fact, groupthink members are voting according to their conscience (是非感) while Abilene “paradoxers” are not.Going along to get along arises from a desire to av

12、oid conflict and unwillingness to be seen as the “spoiler” who criticizes ideas and plans that others favor. The choice to go against ones conscience to please the group produces cognitive dissonance (认识失调), and could involve personal risk to relationships or career or both.The only way for either g

13、roupthink or the Abilene paradox in planning or decision-making situations is to avoid agreeing publicly with something you disagree with privately.

17、r dont last long. But prints of their scales (鳞片), pressed into pools of ink, can preserve their forms for centuries. Since the mid-19th century, Japanese fishers have been using this unusual technique to create shining images known as gyotaku (“gyo” means “fish”; “taku” means “rubbing”).The prints

18、originally served as visual evidence for fishers hoping to show off an impressive catch. Now, some 150 years later, researchers have found a new and perhaps unexpected second use of the art: recording the historical biodiversity of a regions fish.As recently described in the journal Zookeys, the app

19、roach could help environmentalists track the threatened and extinct fish populations in Japans past, filling in gaps where other data run dry.Experts agree that the earliest prints date back to the 1800s, when Japanese fishers began printing the sides of ink-dipped fish on pieces of rice paper label

20、ed with the date, location and species of the catch. Dipped in harmless ink, the fish could then be cleaned, sold or eaten as usual.Over time, fishers began decorating the prints, adding details such as eyes or extra colors on scales. Reproduced directly from the animals themselves, gyotaku prints,

21、by and large, possessed accuracy of the structures of animal bodies and scientists soon recognized their educational value. By the middle of the 20th century, researchers had begun using the artworks in animal anatomy (解剖) classes.Protection work, then, may seem like a logical next step. For the new

22、 study, researchers collected 261 gyotaku prints. Scientific records of fish varieties from centuries past are incomplete, but the prints seem to confirm the richness of fish resources in the past. By comparing hundreds of prints, they find some species are now endangered. Continuing to gather gyota

23、ku could reveal a wealth of scientific information, reports Erin Blakemore for the Washington Post. Some of the prints may even contain bits of DNA, helping researchers track the species listed.Since the advent of cameras and smartphones, however, gyotaku itself has become something of a rarity. In

24、a statement, researcher Miyazaki advocates for the dying art forms protection, explaining that it could complement (补充) digital photography as a way to record memorable catches.28. What does the underlined word “preserve” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A. Discover.B. Keep.C. Change.D. Present.29. What

25、 information can be found on a gyotaku print?A. The type of the ink.B. The species of the fish.C. The fine scales of the fish.D. The location of the fishers.30. Why can gyotaku prints enter animal anatomy classes?A. They have some unique biological features.B. They contain detailed information on sc

26、ales.C. They are a scientific wonder to human beings.D. They can provide an accurate reflection of fish.31. What can we learn about the gyotaku prints?A. They are in danger of extinction.B.

27、echnology.DEating healthier may be as simple as not going to the grocery store, one study revealed. Participants who ordered their groceries online spent less money on junk food compared to when they shopped in person, according to the study. Researchers tracked the spending patterns of 137 shoppers

28、 over the course of 44 weeks. People who shopped online spent on average about $2.50 less on unhealthy food purchases like candy and frozen desserts compared to when they did their shopping inside stores, said study author Laura Zatz.The study did not examine why shoppers spent less money on unhealt

29、hy food when they shopped online, there are some likely reasons, such as a reduction in opportunities for impulse (冲动) purchases. “Online shopping allows shoppers to keep away from lots of in-store marketing and attractive food stimuli (刺激), which encourages us to add items to our basket that we did

30、nt plan to purchase,” Zatz said. “Those towers of junk food at the end of grocery store aisles dont exist online.” Besides, many people have presaved grocery lists, or their food options are based on their dietary needs, she added. Who we shop with may also play a role in our purchase, said Stephani

31、e Rogus, professor of human nutrition at New Mexico State University. When shopping in person, adults often bring along their children or other family members, who may ask for unhealthy food.Online grocery shopping is still relatively new, and Zatz said that marketing will evolve and influence shopp

32、ers to purchase unhealthy food online. Grocery stores may begin to advertise foods that arent selling as well in the form of pop-up ads or personalized recommendations to overcome reduced spending on certain items. If unhealthy foods are underselling, shoppers might start seeing ads for them.Shopper

33、s spent 44% more per transaction (交易) and purchased more items online versus in stores, researchers also found. Transaction fees could have influenced this trend, Rogus said. Many online grocery services have a transaction fee, so combining shopping trips to have fewer transactions could have saved

34、the participants some money. At some stores, spending a certain amount could mean the fee is free. Most of the shoppers in this study were higher-income and could potentially afford to spend more money to avoid transaction fees or hit a required minimum payment for online orders.The majority of food

35、 shopping was still done in person during the studys time period, with participants shopping online just under 29% of the time. There is potential for online grocery shopping to reduce unhealthy food purchases, Rogus said, but the high percentage of times participants choosing to shop at a physical

36、store means the full impact is unclear.Online shopping can reduce the amount of money spent on unhealthy foods, but “people still need to make a wise decision to plan ahead and purchase a healthful and varied mix of foods consistent with a healthy diet,” Zatz stressed.32. Why do people tend to spend

37、 less on junk food when shopping online?A. They long to save some money.B. They want to protect the environment.C. They arent attracted by online junk food.D. They doubt the quality of online junk food.33. What opinion does Zatz want to express about the future situations?A. Increasing advertisement

Marketing strategies influence peoples shopping behaviour.34. Which of the following is the disadvantage of online shopping?A. Internet access.B. The price of

47、y lies to nearby villagers by shouting that a wolf is attacking his sheep. When a wolf actually attacks, the villagers ignore the boys now-genuine cries. The moral, as parents tell their children, is: Dont lie. But it could equally be: If you re going to lie, mix it up a little. Maybe, cry bear now

48、and then.In southern Africa, theres a bird that is adept in this: the fork-tailed drongo(叉尾燕卷尾). “These little birds can make at least 51 different alarm calls, and only six of these are their own. The rest are cover versions of the alarm calls of other species,” says Tom Flower from the University of Cape Town.While working with meerkats(灰沼狸)in the Kalahari Desert, Flower noticed that the drongos would often scare them away from food by mimicking(模仿) the alarms of other species including, possibly, the meerkats themselveseven though no predators(捕食者) were around.
