Jonathan
34、 Boreyko, an American engineering professor, was crawling along in his car one day, observing how drivers naturally bunch up at red lights, leaving mere inches between vehicles. Their motivation isn t a myste可：the closer you are to the car ahead, you d assume, the better your. chances of squeezing t
35、hrough before the light goes back to red, and the sooner you 11 reach your destination, even if you also increase the risk of collisions. But you d assume wron g. When Boreyko and a colleague recreated the traffic -light scenario （场景）on a special test track, they found that drivers who bunched up ma
36、de no swifter progress. True, they stopped slightly closer to the light. But it also took them longer to resume （继续）moving safely, and these two factors cancelled each other out.“There s no point in getting closer to the car in front of you when traffic comes to a stop,“ Boreyko concluded. 咀1is is t
37、rue of writing or similar work. People never rest in urgent, pursuit of their goals. Yes, it all looks impressively productive. But as the psychologist Robert Boice argues, racing to get a task completed generally brings a cost. that outweighs the benefit. You tire yourself out, so you can t shine t
38、he next da y. Or you neglect so many other duties that you re forced to take an extra day to catch up. Or you start damaging work you ve already produced-which . is why the novelist Gabriel Garcia Marquez said he gave up writing in the afternoon: he wrote more, but he had to redo it the next morning
39、, so the overall effect was to slow him down. That s also why Boice insists that, when you re writing on a schedule, it s as important to be disciplined about stopping as starting, even if you re on a roll. Clearly, this is all a convenient way to feel superior to people who put in more hours. But t
40、hat doesn t mean it s untrue. Indeed, it s sca町to ask what role impatience plays in your li扣ingeneral: how much of each day we spend leaning into the future, trying to get tasks “out of the way ”，alwa ys focused on the destination, metaphorically （隐喻地） inching closer and closer to the bumper of the

By the end of the musical, Dooli
44、ttle is able to pronounce all of her words like a member of the British elite, fooling eve巧roneat an embassy ball about her true origins. It s hard to imagine a version of My Fair La.dy set in the U.S. because, unlike the British, Americans seem either unwilling or unable to honestly acknowledge the
45、ir own social class. But a new set of scientific studies conducted by Michael Krauss and his colleagues at Yale University show that Americans find it easy to make distinctions about other people s social class just by listening to them speak. In one study, the researchers asked 229 people to listen
46、 to 27 different speakers who varied in terms of their age, race, gender and social class. The participants heard each speaker say a total of seven different words. Based on just this short audio, participants were able to correctly identify which speakers were college -educated 55 percent of the ti
47、me-more than what would be expected by chance. A major limitation of this study, however, was that it used college education as a criterion for social class. Then in another experiment, 302 participants were asked to either listen to or read transcripts （文本）from 90 seconds of recorded speech in whic
48、h the speakers talked about themselves without explicitly mentioning anything about their social class. Participants 英语试卷第8页（共14页） were asked to judge what they thought the social classes of the speakers were by using a 10-rung ascending （上升的） ladder of increasing income, education and occupation st
49、atus. They found that participants who heard the audio recordings were more accurate in judging where the speakers fell in terms of their social status. To show whether these inferences have real -world consequences, Kraus and his colleagues ran another experiment. They recruited 274 participants, all of whom had past hiring experience, to either listen to the audio or read a transcript of the content. The findings showed that participants were able to accurately judge
