3、er on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.“The dangerous thing about lying is people dont understand how the act changes us,“ says Dan Ariely, behavioural psychologist at Duke University. Psychologists have documented

4、children lying as early as the age of two. Some experts even consider lying a developmental milestone, like crawling and walking, because it requires sophisticated planning, attention and the ability to see a situation from someone elses perspective to manipulate them. But, fbr most people, lying ge

5、ts limited as we develop a sense of morality and the ability to self-regulate.Harvard cognitive neuroscientist Joshua Greene says, for most of us, lying takes work. In studies, he gave subjects a chance to deceive for monetary gain while examining their brains in a functional MRI machine, which maps

6、 blood flow to active parts of the brain. Some people told the truth instantly and instinctively. But others opted to lie, and they showed increased activity in their frontal parietal (顱腔壁的)control network, which is involved in difficult or complex thinking. This suggests that they were deciding bet

7、ween truth and dishonesty-and ultimately opting for the latter. For a follow-up analysis, he found that people whose neural 經(jīng)的)reward centers were more active when they won money were also more likely to be among the group of liars-suggesting that lying may have to do with the inability to resist te

8、mptation.External conditions also matter in terms of when and how often we lie. We are more likely to lie, research shows when we are able to rationalise it, when we are stressed and fatigued or see others being dishonest. And we are less likely to lie when we have moral reminders or when we think o

9、thers are watching. We as a society need to understand that, when we dont punish lying, we increase the probability it will happen again J Ariely said.In a 2016 study published in the journal Nature Neuroscience, Ariely and colleagues showed how dishonesty alters peoples brains, making it easier to

10、tell lies in the future. When people uttered a falsehood, the scientists noticed a burst of activity in their amygdala. The amygdala is a crucial part of the brain that produces fear, anxiety and emotional responses- including that sinking, guilty feeling you get when you lie. But when scientists ha

11、d their subjects play a game in which they won money by deceiving their partner, they noticed the negative signals from the amygdala began to decrease. Not only that, but when people faced no consequences for dishonesty, their falsehoods tended to get even more sensational. This means that if you gi

12、ve people multiple opportunities to lie for their own benefit, they start with little lies which get bigger over time.Why do some experts consider lying a milestone in a childs development?It shows they have the ability to view complex situations from different angles.It indicates they have an abili

13、ty more remarkable than crawling and walking.It represents their ability to actively interact with people around them.It involves the coordination of both their mental and physical abilities.Why does the Harvard neuroscientist say that lying takes work?It is hard to choose from several options.It is

14、 difficult to sound natural or plausible.It requires speedy blood flow into ones brain.It involves lots of sophisticated mental activity.Under what circumstances do people tend to lie?When they become too emotional.When they face too much peer pressure.When the temptation is too strong.When the cons

15、equences are not imminent.When are people less likely to lie?When theyre worn out and stressed.When they are under watchful eyes.When they think in a rational way.When they have a clear conscience.What does the author say will happen when a liar does not get punished?They may feel justified.They wil

16、l tell bigger lies.They will become complacent.They may mix lies and truths.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.If youve ever started a sentence with, “If I were you.” or found yourself scratching your head at a colleagues agony over a decision when the answer is crystal

17、-clear, theres a scientific reason behind it. Our own decision-making abilities can become depleted over the course of the day causing indecision or poor choices, but choosing on behalf of someone else is an enjoyable task that doesnt suffer the same pitfalls.The problem is decision fatigue,a psycho

18、logical phenomenon that takes a toll on the quality of your choices after a long day of decision making, says Evan Polman, a leading psychologist.Physicians who have been on the job for several hours, for example, are more likely to prescribe antibiotics to patients when its unwise to do so. Presuma

19、bly ifs because its simple and easy to write a prescription and consider a patient case closed rather than investigate further, Polman says.But decision fatigue goes away when you are making the decision for someone else. When people imagine themselves as advisers and imagine their own choices as be

20、longing to someone else, they feel less tired and rely less on decision shortcuts to make those choices. By taking upon the role of adviser rather than decision maker, one does not suffer the consequences of decision fatigue/ he says. “Its as if theres something fun and liberating about making someo

21、ne elses choice.”Getting input from others not only offers a fresh perspective and thought process, it often also includes riskier choices. While this sounds undesirable, it can be quite good, says Polman. “When people experience decision fatigue-when they are tired of making choices-they have a ten

22、dency to choose to go with the status quo (現(xiàn)狀)J he says. But the status quo can be problematic, since a change in the course of action can sometimes be important and lead to a positive outcome.”In order to achieve a successful outcome or reward, some level of risk is almost always essential. People

23、who are susceptible to decision fatigue will likely choose to do nothing over something,he says. Thats not to say that risk is always good, but it is related to taking action, whereas decision fatigue assuredly leads to inaction and the possible chagrin (懊惱)of a decision maker who might otherwise pr

24、efer a new course but is unfortunately hindered.Just because you can make good choices for others doesnt mean youll do the same fbr yourself, Polman cautions. Research has found that women negotiate higher salaries fbr others than they do fbr themselves J he says, adding that people slip in and out

25、of decision roles.What does the author say about people making decisions?They may become exhausted by making too many decisions for themselves.They are more cautious in making decisions for others than for themselves.They tend to make decisions the way they think advantageous to them.They show consi

26、derable differences in their decision-making abilities.What does the example about the physicians illustrate?Patients seldom receive due care towards the end of the day.Prescription of antibiotics can be harmful to patients health.Decision fatigue may prevent people making wise decisions.Medical doc

27、tors are especially susceptible to decision fatigue.When do people feel less decision fatigue?When they take decision shortcuts.When they help others to make decisions.When they have major decisions to make.When they have advisers to turn to.What are people likely to do when decision fatigue sets in

28、?They turn to physicians for advice.They tend to make risky decisions.They adopt a totally new perspective.They refrain from trying anything new.What does the passage say about taking some risk in decision making?It is vital for one to reach the goal desired.It is likely to entail serious consequenc

57、sed Screen Time and Wellbeing Decline in Youth|A Have young people never had it so good? Or do they face more challenge than any previous generation? Our current era in the west is one of high wealth. This means minors enjoy material benefits and legal protections that would have been the envy of th

58、ose living in the past. But there is an increasing suspicion that all is not well for our youth. And one of the most popular explanations, among some experts and the popular media, is that excessive “screen time” is to blame. (This refers to all the attention young people devote to their phones, tab

However, this is a contentious theory and such claims have been treated skeptically by some scholars based on their reading of the relevant data.Now a new study has provided another contribution to the debate, uncovering strong evidence that adolescent wellbeing in the United Stat

The background to this is that from the 1960s into the early 2000s, measures of average wellbeing went up in the US. This was especially true for younger people. It reflected the f
