They say the average person makes 35,000 decisions a day. Yet in her new book, How Woman Decide, Therese Huston explores a widespread thing that many women fail to notice. “There’s a huge double standard when it comes to how men and women are viewed as decision makers,” explains Therese, a psychologist from Seattle University. Therese decided to write the book after looking at her bookshelf: bestselling books about decision-making—all written by men and featuring interviews with men like professional ball players．

“Once those women are at the table, will their decisions be taken as seriously as men’s?”Therese Wondered. “Men are respected as decision makers more than women, especially in the workplace, largely because there’s this cultural belief that women are unable to make smart choices at work.” So, Therese set out to part with the stereotypes(固有印象)to see what scientific research had found. “Scientific research shows that men and women struggle with decision-making in the similar way. The only disadvantage I found was that during the teenage years —teenage girls are more indecisive than teenage boys. That means boys can make a decision more easily. Otherwise, there’s few differences between the genders(性别).”

However, there are some differences. “Women are more collaborative(协作的),” says Therese. “A female boss is more likely to ask the opinions of those around her when making a choice. Women ask for advice, which helps make better decisions. However, this is often seen as a weakness rather than a strength.”

Therese also found that during times of stress, men and women make different choices, and the results are often better when women are involved. Study after study backs this view up. Neuroscientists Mara Mather and Nicole Lighthall from the University of Southern California studied the way men and women make decisions and found that in times of stress, they react very differently. During their study, which involved playing a virtual gambling(赌博)game, they found that when the females became stressed, they made smarter decisions—giving up while they were ahead or taking safe bets. But when the men became stressed, they did the opposite, risking everything for a small chance of a big win．

1.Why did Therese Huston write her book How Women Decide?

A.Women are less respected as decision makers.

B.Men have written too many bestselling books.

C.Women are unable to make smart choices.

D.Women ball players are seldom interviewed.

3.What is the difference between the genders in decision-making according to Therese Huston?

A.Men can make much quicker decisions than women．

B.Women are not serious enough when making decisions．

C.Women are likely to ask for advice when making decisions．

D.Teenage girls has more advantages in decision-making.

4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A.Women show less confidence in times of stress．

B.Men prefer to make risky in times of stress．

C.Men always show great bravery in times of stress．

D.Women stop making decisions when ahead in games．

5.What’s Therese’s final conclusion(结论) according to the passage?

A.There are great differences between the two genders.

B.Men are weaker in making smart decisions．

C.We should give up all cultural beliefs about genders．

D.Women are smart as decision makers.
