But the United States government stopped funding it in the 1980s due to alack of scientific proof of the effectiveness of intentional weather change, according to theNational Research Council.

Paulo Artaxo, a Brazilianphysicist, says flatly that cloud-seeding is useless.Still, governments and firms in many countries use the
21、 technology. Sao Pablos watercompany has signed million dollar contracts with ModClima to bring rain, most recently during adrought in 2014-15.Although cloud-seeding normally uses a chemical such as silver iodide toprovide a surface around which water or ice droplets form, ModClima says it has inven

26、le-machine, he reasoned. Butit would be faster everywhere else. Between 1962 and 1978 Lotus won seven Formula Oneconstructors championships.It appears to be an uncommon insight since humans always struggle with subtractive thinking.When asked to improve something, they tend to suggest adding new thi
27、ngs rather than removingsome, even when additions lead to not satisfying results. In one study conducted by GabrielleAdams, along with colleagues at the University of Virginia, participants were asked to change apattern on a grid(网格)of coloured squares to make it balanced.Although that could be done
28、equally well by adding new squares or by deleting existing ones,78% chose the additive option.But why people forget that less is often more? One experiment asked participants to redesignan unbalanced Lego structure so that it could support a house-brick. Participants could earn adollar for fixing th
29、e problem, but each piece of Lego they added cut that reward by ten cents. Eventhen, only 41% worked out that simplifying the structure by removing a single block, rather thancomplicating it by adding more, was the way to maximize the payout. Practice improved peopleschances of spotting subtractive
30、solutions, suggesting that many were simply not thinking of thepossibility, at least at first.What all this amounts to is evidence for additive thinking entering the list of cognitivebiases(认知偏差).The 2002 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded fordemonstrating that humans are not thin
31、king logically as economists do. Instead of thinking aproblem through and coming up with an ideal solution, they tend to use cognitive shortcuts thatare fast andmostlygood enough.32. Why is Chapmans case mentioned in paragraph 1 ?A. To prove his philosophy.B. To introduce the topic.C. To support the
32、 argument.D. To provide an example.33. What were the participants asked to do in Adamss study?A. To balance a pattern.B. To plus new squares.C. To delete original squares.D. To change a patterns colour.34. What can we know about subtractive thinking from paragraph 3?A. It can make things more comple

Less is often more.B. Think less and act more.C. Additive thinking is a shortcut.D. Economists think more logically
