24、
Are you tired of making so many decisions every day? People may be faced with up to 35,000 choices and a huge number of options (可选择的事物) per day. When tired of decision making, people may depend on fate (命运)—roll a dice or simply flip a coin.
Shall we make choices at random ( 随 机 )? I came to think about the benefits of random decision making when watching a TV show last night. Its main character Sheldon used the dice to randomly order food and drinks in a restaurant. He did this to free up his mind to consider some more important problems. However, his friends question the method’s success. Indeed, this random restaurant order including a large drink was too much for him. Sheldon finally realized that the random result could be improved by reducing options to leave out large drinks. This example suggests that random decision making may not always work well and it’s necessary to reduce the options before rolling a dice in some situations.
In some unimportant decision situations, randomisers make it easier to decide. But how do dice work in more important decision situations? It’s hard to accept the idea of completely depending on a dice. However, this doesn’t mean that dice or coins can’t be of any help at all.
Let me borrow another example from Sheldon. He couldn’t make up his mind when choosing a new TV set from two. His friend Amy asked him to flip a coin. Rather than blindly following the result, however, she suggested checking his emotional reaction. Did he experience happiness or disappointment when faced with the coin’s result? Sheldon’s reaction could be useful to find out which one he truly preferred.
Recently, scientists studied this decision method and found that flipping a coin led people to imagine the two different results more clearly, which resulted in a stronger emotional reaction, and then they recognised hidden preferences and made decisions more easily.
A related study further proved that randomisers simplify the choice process. When using dice, people were less likely to look for additional but unnecessary information about the different options. This helped to speed up their choices.
Taken together, recent research shows surprising benefits of flipping coins and rolling dice as long as people don’t let the results control their choices. Using them but keeping the freedom to be different from the results can speed up the decision process and help solve decision problems.
【1】The first example of Sheldon shows that random decision making .
A.is always effective
B.helps make a good order
C.may work better with fewer options
D.can offer more solutions to important problems
【2】The writer probably agrees that .
A.people should not roll dice or flip coins in important situations
B.people will make better choices when experiencing happiness
C.dice can speed up decision process with unnecessary information
D.reaction to the result of the randomiser may show one’s true preference
【3】Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Follow Your Heart or Your Head?
B.Should You Let the Dice Decide?
C.Listen to Friends, or Roll a Dice ?
D.How Do You Make a Wise Decision?
25、Every scientist (科学家) has a childhood dream. A scientist in China once had a dream. He wished to grow a new kind of rice. This new kind of rice would be as big as peanuts (花生). This person is Yuan Longping — “Father” of hybrid rice (杂交水稻).
