(10 points)
Happy people work differently. They’re more productive, more creative, and
willing to take greater
risks. And new research suggests that happiness might influence__1__firm’s
work, too.
Companies located in places with happier people invest more, according to a
recent research
paper.__2__, firms in happy places spend more on R&D (research and
development). That’s because
happiness is linked to the kind of longer-term thinking__3__for making
investments for the future.
The researchers wanted to know if the__4__and inclination for risk-taking that
come with happiness
would__5__the way companies invested. So they compared U.S. cities’
average happiness__6__by Gallup
polling with the investment activity of publicly traded firms in those areas.
__7__enough, firms’ investment and R&D intensity were correlated with the
happiness of the area in
which they were__8__.But is it really happiness that’s linked to investment, or
could something else about
happier cities__9__why firms there spend more on R&D? To find out, the
researchers controlled for
various__10__that might make firms more likely to invest – like size, industry,
and sales – and for
indicators that a place was__11__to live in, like growth in wages or population.
The link between happiness
and investment generally__12__even after accounting for these things.
The correlation between happiness and investment was particularly strong for
younger firms, which
the authors__13__to “less codified decision making process” and the possible
presence of “younger and
less__14__managers who are more likely to be influenced by sentiment.” The
relationship
was__15__stronger in places where happiness was spread more__16__.Firms
seem to invest more in places
where most people are relatively happy, rather than in places with happiness
inequality.
__17__ this doesn’t prove that happiness causes firms to invest more or to
take a longer-term view, the authors believe it at least__18__at that
possibility. It’s not hard to imagine that local culture and
sentiment would help__19__how executives think about the future. “It surely
seems plausible that happy
people would be more forward-thinking and creative and__20__R&D more
than the average,” said one
researcher.

[考点分析] 上下文语义以及短语辨析
[选项分析] [A] 反过来 [B] 尤其是 [C] 相反 [D] 总的来说 根据前文语境,第二段第一句译

“总部所在地”最为合理。
