Neither style of thinking is better or worse than the other; they’re just different, as Professor Ankush Chopra　 explains ． To be a great artist, musician, or big-picture thinker, holistic thinking is important—it’s about context, and intuition (直觉) is important．Many careers like those in science or law, reward analytic thinking, which looks at parts and units, and is specific and logical． Of course, the most successful people will be able to do both kinds of thinking, though generally holistic thinking, linked to creativity, is more difficult to teach than analytic thinking．

So those people who are analytic thinkers will see a price of $1.99 by looking at the single numbers, and will prioritize the first number when it comes to price. “Holistic thinkers tend to view all price numbers as a whole and are　 less likely to be affected by the nine-ending price effect,” Lingjiang Lora Tu, Ph. D. , professor of marketing at Baylor and　 a study’s lead author, told Phys. org．

However, that the type of thinking allows holistic thinkers to see the whole rather than the parts goes out the window when they’re stressed or distracted (分心的)．

“Our findings suggest that regardless of consumers’ thinking style, nine-ending prices are most likely to be effective in situations that overuse consumers’ resources, such as when shoppers are time-pressured at the checkout counter or distracted by background music or occupied with an interactive product demonstration,” Tu said．

This study was done with the idea that marketers should know about these differences in thinking style and keep them in mind when they’re pricing things for different types of people．But anyone who buys things can benefit too, by figuring out what kind of thinker you are, and then keeping that in mind when the signs show “sale” with a loud noise!—and reminding yourself that nobody makes the best decisions when they’re distracted．

1.Which of the following can be the best example of holistic thinking?

A. Only if the whole thing makes sense can Jack concentrate on details．

B. In American shops, you can find many things with nine-ending prices．

C. Jack kept on working on one thing and finally achieved great success．

D. Understanding each paragraph leads to understanding the whole passage．

2.The underlined word “prioritize” in Para. 2 most probably means “________”．

A. take no notice of　　 B. treat...equally

C. think of...the trickiest　　 D. consider...the most important

3.According to the passage, a consumer should remember that ________．

A. the nine-ending prices can equally affect any type of consumer

B. pricing things for different types of people benefits customers

C. background music isn’t always to create a pleasant atmosphere

D. it’s impossible to affect him even if he’s distracted or stressed

4.From the passage we know that ________．

A. different thinking styles create different pricing systems

B. preference of pricing system can indicate thinking style

C. holistic thinking somewhat outweighs analytic thinking

D. both styles of thinking cannot be beneficial to one career

The latest research suggests that the typical middle class in a city now have so many time- saving tools that they can fit into 24 hours the same quantity of tasks that ten years ago would have taken 31 hours to complete.

For many people, the busy time starts over breakfast, reading emails on a hand-held BlackBerry while toasting bread. It carries on in the car where a driver with a Bluetooth earpiece holds a conference call while keeping an ear on the radio and checking the GPS.

Work then includes a lot of emails, phone calls, and meetings, often happening at the same time. However, according to OTX, an American research organization, the busiest period of multitasking appears to be in the evening. “People will be pressing the television remote control while using a computer on their knee, emailing and texting friends on a mobile phone, and holding a conversation with friends or family members.” Said Patrick Moriarty, one of the authors of the report.

According to the study, while television remains the main attention in the evening, nearly half the people were also using computers and phones to catch up with friends, update their social networks, or download and listen to music.

Mark Vickery, 35, from Medway, Kent, concurred. For him and his wife Susan, an NHS (National Health Service) doctor, the evening was the peak of multitasking. “Both of us are out of the house during the day,” said Vickery, a marketing manager. “When we come back in the evening we’re likely to have a lot of technology on the go. Well be using online banking, Facebook, and email, and programming the TV shows we want to watch later.”

“On the one hand it’s good-you get more done. On the other hand, when I left university seven years ago, life was much simpler. There was more talking face-to-face and more time spent over dinner.”

1.How does the author explain people’s multitasking fact?

A. By giving examples.

B. By providing reasons.

C. By discussing the differences.

D. By describing his experiences.

2.What do people mainly do at early night?

A. Phone friends　　 B. Watch TV

C. Visit websites.　　 D. Enjoy music

3.What does the underlined word “concurred” in the text mean?

A. continued.　　 B. wondered.

C. agreed.　　 D. changed.

4.What is Mark’s opinion on multitasking?

A. It has two sides.　　 B. It makes life simpler.

C. It happens everywhere.　　 D. It causes longer mealtimes.

Coffee is one of the world's most widely-enjoyed drinks. Now, a new research suggests that if you drink enough coffee, it might help you avoid certain kinds of cancer.

Dr. Mia Hashibe of the University of Utah School of Medicine was interested in the connection between coffee drinking and certain cancers of the head and neck. Researchers have looked into this before, but without reaching any firm conclusions. She said, "So this finding from our new study was quite a surprise. We didn't really have any expectation of which direction it could go into."

To sort out the confusion, Hashibe and her assistants used statistical (统计学 ) techniques to, in effect, make one big study out of the earlier smaller studies. She explained,  "Thanks to the earlier studies, we have a lot more power than earlier studies that looked at this. And we included 4,000 cancer patients who have cancer of the mouth and throat. And then 9,000 controls, people who do not have cancer. '

Those studies--in Europe and the United States--found that people who drank a lot of coffee were less likely to develop cancers of the mouth and throat. "We saw a protective effect for drinking more than 4 cups of coffee per day," Hashibe said. "This was the 40 percent decrease in risk. We did not see the same effect for drinking three cups or less per day."

Mia Hashibe said there was a weak connection between cancer risk and drinking coffee without caffeine. And she and her assistants found no proof that drinking tea provided the same protection as drinking Coffee. Their research is published in the journal Cancer Epidemiology, Biomarkers & Prevention.

Hashibe says it is not clear how coffee might protect drinkers from certain cancers. "There are a few chemicals that are known to be antioxidants （抗氧化物）in coffee. So we are thinking perhaps they are playing some sort of protective role against several cancers."

1.This passage is probably taken from __

A. a literature book                          B. a travel journal

C. an old directory                       D. a medical magazine

2.Dr. Hashibe expected nothing of her research because __

A. it was impossible to get the desired result   B. the research was much surprising in fact

C. no conclusions had been reached before    D. the research team lacked faith in success

3.Which of the following might have something to do with the protection against mouth cancer?

A. Coffee without chemicals.                   B. Coffee without caffeine.

C. Four cups of tea a day.                 D. Antioxidants in coffee.

4.What do we know about Dr. Mia Hashibe and her research?

A. She knew for sure how coffee may affect drinkers.

B. She included 4,000 people without cancer in study.

C. She found an effect for three cups of coffee a day.

D. She based her research on several earlier studies.

5.What would be the best title for the text?

A. Drinking Coffee May Protect Some Cancers     B. Drinking Coffee May Prevent Some Cancers

C. Drinking Coffee May Cure Some Caneers       D. Drinking Coffee May Cause Some Cancers
