【MBA英语】联考英语（二）真题解析系列16弹 【MBA中国网讯】联考英语（二）真题解析系列16弹： So what does work? Perhaps surprisingly, scheduling regular times for reading. You'd think this might fuel the efficiency mind-set, but in fact, Eberle notes, such ritualistic behaviour helps us “step outside time's flow”into “soul time.”You could limit distractions by reading only physical books, or on single-purpose e-readers. “Carry a book with you at all times”can actually work, too-providing you dip in often enough, so that reading becomes the default state from which you temporarily surface to take care of business, before dropping back down. On a really
good day, it no longer feels as if you're “making time to read,”but just reading, and making time for everything else. 34. “carry a book with you at all times”can work if______ A. reading becomes your primary business of the day B. all the daily business has been promptly dealt with C. you are able to drop back to business after reading D. time can be evenly split for reading and business 参考译文 那什么方法管用呢?也许让人惊讶的是，规定时间阅读。你可能觉得这样做，会使得让时间变得有效的这一思维定式更变本加厉了，但实际上，Eberle提到，养成这种习惯能帮助我们“跳出时间流逝”的思维模式，进入到“灵魂时间”。可以只读实体书，或者只有单一功能的电子阅读器，以避免分心。“随身带书”也真的会有用，只要你经常沉浸其中，阅读就成为了你的默认状态，你可以冒个泡，临时处理一下业务，再继续沉浸其中。在一个美好的一天，就不再觉得是“利用时间阅读了”，而只有阅读，时间也变得无所不能。 【核心词汇】

(10 points) Why do people read negative Internet comments and do other things that will obviously be painful? Because humans have an inherent need to ___1___ uncertainty, according to a recent study in Psychological Science. The new research reveals that the need to know is so strong that people will ___2___ to satisfy their curiosity even when it is clear the answer will___3___. In a series of four experiments, behavioral scientists at the University of Chicago Booth School Of Business and the Wisconsin School of Business tested students' willingness to ___4___ themselves to unpleasant stimuli in an effort to satisfy curiosity.

Twenty-seven students were told which pens were rigged; another twenty-seven were told only that some were electrified. ___7___ left alone in the room, the students who did not know which ones would shock them clicked more pens and incurred more jolts than the students who knew what would ___8___. Subsequent experiments replicated this effect with other stimuli, ___9___ the sound of fingernails on a chalkboard and photographs of disgusting insects.

In other words, don't read online comments.
