It is generally believed that we make choices based on our preferences ()For example,we choose
a bag because we like it better than other bags.But will we like the bag even better after we choose it?
Psychologist Jack Brehm once asked some housewives to rate(给…打分)a few things based on
how much they liked them.If they gave two things the same rating,they had to choose one over the other.
Then they rated all the things again.This time,all the chosen things got a higher rating.Brehm then said
that the act of choosing had changed the women's preferences.But others questioned Brehm's finding.
They argued that choosing only showed preferences that were already there.
A new study suggests there is truth on both sides.To see people's preference in a scientific way,
scientists used fMRI(功能性核磁共振成像)to watch brain activity in 1.3 volunteers when they chose
the place for a vacation.In the first part of the new study,the volunteers went inside the fMRI and rated
how happy it would make them to go to Greece,Thailand and other places.Then,outside the fMRI,they
chose between pairs of places to which they had given the same rating.Scientists found that even though
the volunteers had given the same rating to both places in each pair at first,they always chose the place
that raised greater brain activity shown in the fMRI.
The finding proves(证明)that choices uncover preexisting(早先存在的)preferences.But the
second part of the study also backs Brehm's point that choices can influence preferences.When the
volunteers got back in the fMRI and rated how much they wanted to go to the vacation places again,they
showed even higher brain activity for the chosen places.The fMRI data suggest that a person's choice not
only shows a preexisting preference but also shapes future preferences,which helps to end a huge debate
in the field.
Experts believe that we change our preferences after making a decision so that we won't think over
what may happen if we choose differently.So if we choose the zoo over the seaside,we will probably feel
like learning more about the animals and putting our swimsuit away.
()12.What did Brehm ask the housewives to do?
A.To rate a few things two times.
B.To make some bags together.
C.To learn about many things.
D.To find a place for vacation.
(
)13.Why do experts think we change our preferences after making a decision?
A.To make our choices more scientific.
B.To avoid thinking about alternative choices.
C.To show our preexisting preferences clearly.
D.To influence others'opinions on our choices
()14.What can we learn from the new study?
A.People hardly change their preferences after they make choices.
B.People may like something better if they show lower brain activity.
C.People show the same brain activity for the places with the same rating.
D.People may still have a preference even though they give the same rating.

The science behind learning from other people's advice
Every day,we need to make decisions about what advice to trust.Should I listen to a friend about
what directions to take to the park,or look for road signs to follow?We know that humans'decisions are
influenced by their beliefs,which may be based on advice from other people or on information from non-
human sources(来源),such as road signs.But which source do we find more reliable(可信懒的),and
do our brains process differently when following human or non-human sources?
A new study by my team tried to find out the differences in how people consider information from
human advice and from non-human objects.We also checked brain activities while people made these
decisions.
In our study,participants (completed tasks by finding a hidden dot.In one
task,people needed to mark the hidden dot on a circle after they received a message from
an image of a human face (social advice).In another task,they did the same work,but the
dot
message was provided by an object (non-social advice).Another important factor in the study was that
we could record the learning process.People received the information repeatedly from different advisors
and objects,and they had to learn over time which of the two sources was more reliable.We also asked
participants to report on how reliable they thought the advice was each time they decided.
Looking at how people performed on the task,my team discovered that participants found social
advice more reliable than non-social advice.They were also less likely to change their beliefs based on
information from humans,even when that information didn't match their original beliefs.This suggests
that people may form more stable opinions about the reliability of information from humans.We also
found that certain parts of the brain were connected with social information.
These findings could be important for understanding disorders of social cognition,such as
psychopathy(精神障碍).More obviously,our work shows that even a piece of advice from a human
can change how people view the information,which is especially important because humans spend
increasingly more time in the digital world.Realizing our bias towards human advice will be of great help for
designing interactive tools to guide human decision-making as well as ways to develop critical thinking.
)15.According to the study,which of the following is TRUE?
A.Researchers failed to check brain activities in the study.
B.Reports of why people chose social advice were given twice.
C.Participants were told to find hidden dots as many as possible.
D.Sources of information may influence people's trust on advice.
)16.The word“stable'”in Paragraph4 probably means“
A.be possible to miss
B.be unlikely to change
C.be unlikely to receive
D.be possible to develop
(
)17.What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A.The benefits of non-social advice.
B.The ways to develop thinking skills.
C.The reasons why the research was done.D.The importance of the research findings.
)18.The writer probably agrees that
A.people trust what they see instead of what they hear
B.social advice is more important than non-social advice
C.there is bias on human advice when people make decisions
D.the brain processes similarly when receiving different messages
