选择与幸福感

Content Review

P1 推翻一种常见的认知

The opportunity to choose enhances our lives. It is logical to think that if some choice is good, more is better. And the wealthier a person is, the happier he will be. Yet, recent research strongly suggests that psychologically, this assumption is wrong. In some wealthy countries, people who have more choices are less happy.

P2 一个人调查的一种方法，引出两种人

Schward composed a set of statement-the Schward Maximization Scale-to diagnose people’s tendency to make choices. Thousands of people rated themselves on such statements as “I never settle for second best”. Those who seldom satisfied with their options are called “maximisers” and people who find an item that meets their standard are called “satisficers”.

P3 描述maximisers的表现

Maximisers are the least happy ones. They are more prone to experiencing regret after a purchase. They use a long time to think before making choices. So they are not happy about the decisions they make.

P4 通过问卷调查推测satisficers的表现

Asked people to fill out questionnaire and found those satisficers were more likely to be happy, because they do not think for long time before making decisions.

P5 提出“opportunity cost”

Several factors explain why more choices do not make people happy. High among these factors are “opportunity cost”. The quality of any given option cannot be assessed in isolation from its alternatives. One of the “cost” of making a selection is losing the opportunities that a different option would have afforded. People respond strongly to loses rather than gains.

P6 提出“regret”

Just as people feel sorrow about the opportunities they have forgone, they may also suffer from regret about the option they settle on. People with high sensitivity to regret are less happy, less satisfied with life, less optimistic and more depressed. Those people with high regret sensitivity tend to be maximisers.

P7 举theater例子

People were offered to the tickets to a local theater company. Some were offered the tickets at full price and others at half price. Researchers kept track of how often the ticket purchasers attended the play, and found that full-price payers were more likely to show up than the half-payers. The reason was that full-price buyers would experience more regret if they did not use the tickets because not using the tickets would be a big loss to them.

P8 作者建议

To increase sense of happiness, we can decide to restrict our options when the decision is not crucial. For example, making a rule to visit only two stores when shopping for clothes.

Ancient Viruses

Content Review

A  Alaska’s snowless season is lengthening. People are worrying about the warming weather may result in that hurricanes and typhoons will reach the places where they never arrived and the flood may swallow all the fertile land. A famous researcher (Roger) claimed that virus, bacteria and fungi may survive under the ice sheet.

B  He found that a virus named ToMV has a tough protein coat, so it has survived under the ice sheet in Greenland for more than 14,000 years.

C  A kind of human influenza has been also discovered under the ice sheet. Fortunately, it is weaker than ToMV.

D  This discovery cannot convince all the scientists. But the famous researcher is confident at his.

E  If virus can survive under the ice, how they moved to all over the world. It’s safely concluded that they move with the help of migrating birds, dusts, water and sea creatures.

F  Most virus under the ice are located in the North part of earth, because human are more prevalent in the north hemisphere.

G  But not all the virus can survive through hibernation. It’s still possible that human influenza virus may survive longer in the process of freezing.

H  If all the ice melt, the ancient virus thaw out, humans, plants and marine animals will be victims because herd immunity has diminished. And scientists worry about that the ancient virus may mix with new ones to become supervirus.

Jewellery

1. Are jewelleries popular in China?

Girls normally wear all kinds of jewelleries such as rings, necklaces, bracelets, ear-rings or ear studs. Honestly, adequate and proper jewellery and ornaments elevate a girl’s image and add extra charm to her. And when the jewelleries are expensive ones, her status and identity will be shown and more confidence will come automatically to her. Besides, on some special occasions like a banquet or a business meeting, which require ladies to be dressed elegantly, jewelleries prove to be necessary and vital companions.

Generally boys don’t wear jewelleries. But that was in the past. Nowadays, boys enjoy having their ears pierced and wearing one or two ear rings. It is beyond me. Maybe they feel cool when they have some ear rings on.

2. What type of jewelleries do you like?

Well, platinum and silver ones are good enough to me. Such materials are elegant and economical. Besides, these materials won’t cause inflammation to skins easily. You can simply wear them all day. Pearl ones are good too especially the milk white ones. They are elegant and gentle and wearing them always make you feel graceful.

I love rings, especially those big and hook ones with a skeleton or a hawk or some scare faces. Sometimes, I feel they make me feel I am the boss of Mafia. It’s so cool.

3. Have you sent jewelleries as gifts?

Definitely. Last June when it was my girlfriend’s birthday, I got her a rose gold necklace. It was a gorgeous one I should say. The necklace was made of gold particles, very small ones, whose diameters, I think, were only less than one millimetre. And the pendant, a heart shaped ruby, was gorgeous too. It cost me a fortune but I was glad she loved it.

4. Are jewelleries expensive in China?

That is interesting. Each product can come in different prices according to its design, brand and material.

For a ring, if it is a hand made one but with famous brand and material of diamond and a marvellous design like, aurora, you will always pay more for a ring. On the contrary, the price won’t be too high.

In general, if you buy one jewellery from a big supermarket or a specialty store, the price varies from several hundreds to unbelievably high. On the other hand, some accessory stores provide beautiful and cheaper ones, qualities of which can’t be guaranteed though.
