27、.

The small print reads, “Warning: Smo

28、king causes lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema(肺气肿)and may complicate pregnancy.“ Kate stops for a moment. “How many have I had already today?“ she asks herself.But then she lights up. “I dont smoke that much,“ she reasons, to quiet her conscience. “And anyway, I exercise and eat pretty well.“ Ev

29、ery day we wrestle with opposing viewpoints that battle it out in our mindsa tension known as cognitive dissonance. Social psychologist Leon Festinger developed the concept in 1957, from the assumption that human beings fundamentally strive for harmony in their thinking. In the face of contradictory

30、 paths, our minds attempt to restore internal peace. We strive for the reconciliation of two conflicting thoughts, even if we must resort to a third to attain it, such as, “Gramps smoked a pack a day, and he lived to be 90.“Since Festingers time, numerous researchers have shown how we attempt to red

31、uce mental tension. To become truly content, it seems, we should favor smart choices over emotional ones, but even then, we may need to fool ourselves into thinking we have made the right decision.Imagine you are looking to buy a used car. Two models stand outa practical little sedan that does not u

32、se much gas and a stylish, fuel-guzzling sports car. After a good deal of back and-forth, you decide on the sports car. But as soon as you have driven it off the lot, you get an ill feeling in your stomach. Shouldnt you have purchased the more efficient model?Consumers call this feeling buyers remor

33、se. Psychologists call the tension that occurs after such decision making the regret effect. But cognitive salvation comes quickly. “Dont be an idiot, “you tell yourself. “Youd be too cramped driving in that little thing. And the sports car has side air bags. And a CD player.“ The good features of t

34、he chosen car get bumped up in estimation, whereas the bad features of the rejected one get exaggerated. Internal harmony is restored.Researchers are finding more and more examples of cognitive dissonance.In 2003 and 2004 studies by Michael I. Norton, now at Harvard Business School, and Monin of Sta

35、nford University unveiled a vicarious form of the phenomenon. In one exercise, students who were waiting to participate in an experiment overheard a staged conversation in which an investigator convinced a student to present an opinion during discussion time that would contradict what he believed: h

36、e was to speak in favor of tuition increases. Students who heard the coercion and later were part of the discussion voiced less skepticism about tuition hikes than they had previously. Apparently, the knowledge of their classmates presumed internal conflict caused cognitive tension in them as well.

37、The easiest way to restore equilibrium was to agree with their friends stated position.The potential for artificially inducing such attitudinal change is limited, nonetheless. Social psychologists Fritz Strack and Bertram Gawronski in a 2004 study of social groups found that although we may change o

38、ur conscious attitudes to justify contradictory behavior, our basic unconscious thoughts and feelings are not easily remoldedeven clearly impugned social views such as prejudice.31 Why does Kate lit up a cigarette even she notices the billboard?（A）Such diseases as lung cancer, emphysema, does not af

39、fect her.（B） She does more exercises and has a better diet than most of smokers.（C） She finds a good excuse to justify her smoking.（D）She smokes less than other smokers.32 Which of the following factors doesnt contribute to cognitive dissonance?（A）Peace in mind.（B） Contradictory thinking.（C） Actions

41、NSB expressed concern over the United States dependence on foreign PhDs.Scientists, often older ones, have for years questioned how long they can stay productive. G.H. Hardy set the tone in his 1940 classic, A Mathematicians Apology. “Like any other mathematician who has passed sixty,“ Hardy confess

42、ed, “I have no longer the freshness of mind, the energy, or the patience to carry on effectively with my proper job.“ He continued that “mathematics. is a young mans game.“The age lore of other sciences can be similarly misleading. The Nobel laureate physicist Paul Dirac has suggested, tongue in che

43、ek, that a physicist over 30 was as good as dead, and the physicist-historian Abraham Pals wrote of Einstein after 1925 (when Einstein was 46)that, as far as his work went, he might as well have gone fishing. And yet the sociologist Harriet Zuckerman, in her landmark 1977 book, Scientific Elite ,obs

44、erved that U.S. Nobelists received their prizes for work done when they were, on average, nearly 39. Sir Nevill Mott won a Nobel Prize in physics for his postretirement research.Great biologists seem especially hardy. The German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt successfully surveyed harsh, remote a

45、reas of the Russian Empire for goldfields after turning 60,and began publishing the 19th centurys greatest work of synthesis, Cosmos, at age 76;he had completed 2000 pages by his death at 89,in 1859. More recently, Harvard Universitys Ernst Mayr was still writing papers at 100.Why, then, do certain

46、researchers stagnate while others flourish? Some might be internalizing what Zuckerman called the “mythology“ of aging in science. But another factor is that any education has built-in limits. Even Einstein may have been bumping against them. Scientists over 40 face a choice: continue using the endo

47、wments that have served them well but are challenged by a new generation, or turn to new subjects.49 SEI 2002 shows that _.（A）in science fields the U.S. face shortage of talent（B） average age of the science and engineering workforce in coming decades will be higher（C） for old scientific workers, agi
