21、When you’re going through a period of anxiety or depression it can be difficult to make decisions, whether those are significant life changes or everyday choices. Those with generalized anxiety disorder or mood disorders often report feeling uncomfortable with or being troubled by feelings of uncertainty-which doesn’t help when you need to make a decision, big or small.

Now in a new study, researchers find that people with higher levels of anxiety and depression are less able to adapt to fast-changing situations. But with the right intervention(干预)there may be ways to help those with anxiety or depression make better decisions in the moment.

Participants were aged between 18 and 55; some had symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder or major depressive disorder, while others had no history of mental illness at all.

In the study, after filling in measures related to anxiety, depression, and worry, participants took part in a video game. In each round, they were asked to choose between two shapes: picking onne shape resulted in a reward, while the other delivered an electric shock.

The task took place in two blocks-one stable, in which one shape was associated with a reward 75% of the time and the other 25% of the time, and the other unstable, in which the shape with a higher probability of resulting in reward switched every twenty trials. In the unstable block, therefore, the participants had to keep adjusting their responses as the probabilities change.

Those participants with symptoms of anxiety or depression were slower to adjust their responses to the changes in probabilities. This suggests that mood disorders are associated with difficulty making decisions in changing circumstances.

Senior author Sonia Bishop argues that those participants who adapted quickly did so because of their emotional resilience(适应力). ＂Emotionally resilient people tend to focus on what gave them a good outcome, and in many real-world situations that might be key to learning to make good decisions, ”she says.

Sonia Bishop suggests that encouraging people to focus on past successes rather than failures could be a useful behavioral intervention, making those difficult decisions a bit less tricky.

【1】According to the text, which of the following affects decision-making?

A．Feeling uncomfortable with someone.

B．Feeling unsure of what will happen.

C．Wondering who will make a decision.

D．Wondering how to help make a decision.

【2】What was the purpose of the unstable block?

A．To create a fast-changing situation.

B．To train participants to respond to changes.

C．To make the video game more challenging.

D．To help those with anxiety make decisions.

【3】Why does Sonia Bishop suggest focusing on past successes?

A．To improve decision-making.

B．To remember the achievements.

C．To adapt quickly to a new situation.

D．To avoid making difficult decisions.

【4】What advice can be given according to the study?

A．Try to think quickly when making decisions.

B．Don’t expect too much when making decisions.

C．Don’t focus on one single thing when making decisions.

D．Reduce your anxiety or depression when making decisions.

Wall Disease

Jessica Wapner The Experiment（2020）

Since the Berlin Wall fell in 1989, border walls have multiplied, notes science journalist Jessica Wapner in her global survey. In the decade after the September 2001 terrorist attacks, 47 appeared worldwide; Wapner investigates their geography and psychological effects. “Wall disease” consists of fear, isolation, a sense of immobility, financial insecurity and suspicion of “the other” on the far side.

The Brutish Museums

Dan Hicks Pluto（2020）

This timely book echoes the British Museum’s decision this year to redisplay a bust（半身像）of its founder with labels about his links to the slave trade. Dan Hicks is a curator（馆长）at the Pitt Rivers Museum in Oxford, UK, which, like the British Museum, holds many prized objects robbed by colonial forces in 1897 from Benin, in what is now Nigeria. Rejecting the view of Oxford colleague John Boardman that “the rape proved to be a rescue”, Hicks fiercely advocates that “brutish” museums urgently begin restoration of stolen objects.

A Manual of the Mammalia

Douglas A. Kelt & James L. Patton Univ. Chicago Press（2020）

The subtitle of this comprehensive reference book terms it “an homage” to Timothy Lawlor’s acclaimed Handbook to the Orders and Families of Living Mammals. As wildlife ecologist Douglas Kelt and mammal curator James Patton note, Lawlor’s final edition featured about 4,170 species of mammal; today’s figure is 6,495. “Do not be overwhelmed,” they advise students, “Simply be happy about the diversity of the Mammalia.”

Yellowstone Wolves

Twenty-five years ago, the authors reintroduced wolves to Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming. Here, they relate what they’ve learnt of the animals’predation, mating, play, genetics, disease and more, and their impact on other species and the landscape.

When there’s a recession (衰退) in the economy, those who attended college will be more likely to find a new job than those who only finished high school and have a limited skill set. The more education you have, the more chances you will get to improve the quality of your life as you have a better job and earn a higher salary.

When you’re skillful and knowledgeable, you gain access to people of similar backgrounds and tastes. 【4】 Good networking can benefit you a lot in your later life.
