Security guard, truck driver, salesperson – year after year, these jobs appear on lists of the unhappiest careers.

议论文——探讨职业抑郁的主要精神原因及办法 议论文——快速的商业决策带来的后果 议论文——公司规模并不是越大越好 议论文（主要讨论在经济全球化的背景下，我们是否已经达到了贸易的顶峰？） Although many factors can make a job __41__ – unusual hours, low pay, no chance for advancement – these three jobs __42__ for another reason: a lack of small talk.

Psychologists have long said that connecting with others is central to our well-being, but just how much

conversation we require is under __43__. In one study, researchers overheard undergraduates for four days and then __44__ each conversation as either “small talk” (“What do you have there? Pop corn? Yummy!”) or “serious” (“Did they break up soon after?”). They found that the second type is connected with happiness – the happiest students had roughly twice as many “serious” talks as the unhappiest ones. Small talk, meanwhile, __45__ only ten percent of their conversation, versus almost 30 percent of conversation among the unhappiest students.

However, don’t just consider small talk __46__ yet. Scientists believe that small talk could promote bonding.

Chatting with strangers could __47__ our morning. In a series of experiments, psychologists found that those who chatted with other train passengers reported a more pleasant journey than those who didn’t.

Small talk can also help us feel connected to our __48__. People who smiled at, made eye contact with and

__49__ spoke with their Starbucks baristas （咖啡师）reported a greater sense of __50__ than those who rushed through the transaction（交易）. __51__, when volunteers broke the silence of the art gallery to chat with gallery-goers, the visitors felt happier and more connected to the exhibit than those who were not __52__.

Of course, some of us are better than others at turning small talk into something bigger. In one study, people

who were rated “less curious” by researchers had trouble getting a conversation __53__ on their own. People who were considered “curious”, meanwhile, needed no help __54__ conversations about ordinary things like favorite holidays into friendly exchanges. A “curious mindset,” the researchers concluded, can lead to “positive social __55__.”

Therefore, go ahead – small talk needn’t be idle, and nosiness isn’t all bad.

A new idea called ‘business at the speed of thought’ is quite popular in our business world. It makes quick marketing progress, but it also presents a 41 way to run a company. Here’re the main 42 : The businesses today that will succeed are those able to jump around in high spirits. Chances must be seized immediately and decisions made quickly. Everyone needs more immediate answers, and the window of expected 43 to any questions has dropped from weeks to days even to hours. The problem with this way of thinking is that too often such quickness comes at the expense of 44 understanding the details of a situation. Sure, the networked society allows us to gather information within a short time, but does it really 45 up our ability to make better decisions? How do you balance the 46 for speed with sharp and correct thinking? That’s the 47

on the minds of a lot of people these days, including Future Shock author, Alvin Toffler, who studies the idea in our cover story. It’s also a 48 of a new study by Kepner Tregoe. It reports that 77 percent of managers believe that during the past three years the number of decisions they made each workday has increased. But 85 percent of those same people say the time given to making those decisions has either 49 or stayed the same. Result: Speed kills. Different opinions are not shared. Other choices are 50 too easily. Aims never seem to be clear. 51 , good records aren’t kept about how successful decisions are made. If your company really does well, the Kepner report suggests 52 the decision-making process and figuring out what you did right. Study your successes, as well as your failures.

Fast decision-making is a necessity sometimes-no question about that. But decisions are only as good as the 53 go into them. By that measure, many of today’s decisions are weak and could 54 some companies at the knees. Business may be keeping the quickness of 55 , but it’s going to be torn to pieces if managers are not thinking with great care and patience. 41. A. numerous

Being Bigger isn’t Necessarily Considered Better

The firm, which famously started life in 1939, has now declared a new age: that of smaller start-up. By 2014, when Ms Whitman announced HP’s decision to separate its computer and printer business from its corporate hardware and services operations, the company had grown into a clumsy __41__. Its fortunes started to __42__ with a series of expensive and much criticized purchases. By 2012 it had lost its position as the world’s leading

1 / 9

supplier of PCs to Lenovo. The dramatic __43__ was aimed at helping the firm adapt to the new age of mobile and online computing, responding to shareholder demands for more aggresive__44__.

“I would go from laser jet printing to our big enterprise services contracts where we were running the back end of IT for many big companies and organizations. These two things are not like each other. So the ability to focus and engage with customers on a(n) __45__ set of objectives and business outcomes... I can already see the difference.” Ms Whitmann, who now heads the new spin-off, Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) selling servers and services, says the change has already __46__ her performance. “One big change is it __47__ each of the divisions to pursue the strategy that is right for them. __48__ , there is ‘no way’ printer and PC company HP Inc’s decision last year to buy Samsung’s printing business for $1bn would have happened when it was part of the larger firm. So it’s that ability to drive your own program, not __49__ by other businesses that don’t have the same characteristics.” Ms Whitman is so convinced her strategy is working that she’s __50__ HPE further, spinning off both its business services division and its software business into separate companies last year.

Her assumption that bigger doesn’t always mean better seems __51__. After all, a larger company should find it easier to dominate the market it operates in. But the rapid rise of much smaller start-ups, competing and often overtaking these established powerful companies means the accepted wisdom that __52__ equals success is being challenged. __53__ in 2014, eBay carved PayPal, the electronic payments arm it bought in 2001, off from the main online sale business.

Box, a cloud storage company, is another case in point. Founder Aaron Levie says “Whether Uber, Airbnb, those same lessons __54__, which is if you can build something that’s cheaper, faster and more scalable and delivers a far better customer experience than what the traditional sellers were able to do, then you can be extremely __55__.”

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Have We Reached Peak Trade?

Globalization is usually defined as the free movement of people, goods and capital. It’s been the most important ___41___ force of modernity. Until the financial crisis of 2008, global trade grew twice as fast as the

1 / 9

global economy itself. ___42___, thanks to both economics and politics, globalization as we have known it is developing fast.

The question is: Have we reached peak trade? If you think of it in terms of the flow of digital data and ideas, no — it’s actually ___43___.” Indeed, the cross-border flow of digital data — e-commerce, web searches, online video, machine-to-machine interactions — has grown 45 times larger since 2005 and is ___44___ to grow much faster than the global economy over the next few years.

There’s no doubt globalization has increased wealth at both global and national levels. But free trade can also widen the ___45___ gap within countries, in part by creating concentrated groups of economic losers. Free trade has made goods and services cheaper for Americans — think of all the inexpensive Chinese-made goods at Walmart — but it hasn’t always ___46___ their job prospects. From1990 to 2008, the areas most ___47___ to foreign competition saw almost no net new jobs created. That’s one reason the new generation of Americans is on track to be ___48___ than their parents.

The gains of free trade do not always ___49___ the losses. This realization that the tide of ___50___ doesn’t raise all boats has fed into the anti-free trade movement. And companies themselves are ___51___ globalization.

Nevertheless, there is one reason to be ___52___ about the future of globalization — at least, the new information-based kind. McKinsey data estimate that the companies responsible for the jump in flows of digital goods, services and information will include a much higher proportion of small businesses than in the past. An estimated 86% of tech-based startups surveyed by McKinsey now do some cross-border business — ___53___ before the arrival of the Internet, when globalization was dominated by super powers. That means that more of the wealth generated by globalization could flow down to the 80% of the population that hasn’t ___54___ as much as it should have.

If those individuals feel they are being empowered by open borders and freer trade, it could help swing the political pendulum(钟摆) back toward globalization in some form. Despite its laws, it has been an economic force that has lifted more people out of ___55___ than anything else the world has ever known.
