John Gottman, the marriage expert, explains that we quickly “ thin slice” information reliably only after we ground such snap reactions in “ thick sliced” longterm study. When Dr. Gottman really wants to assess whether a couple will stay together, he invites them to his island retreat for a muck longer evaluation。 two days, not two seconds. Our ability to mute our hardwired reactions by pausing is what differentiates us from animals: doge can think about the future only intermittently or for a few minutes. But historically we have spent about 12 percent of our days contemplating the longer term. Although technology might change the way we react, it hasn’ t changed our nature. We still have the imaginative capacity to rise above temptation and reverse the highspeed trend. 31. The time needed in making decisions may____. [A] vary according to the urgency of the situation [B] prove the plexity of our brain reaction [C] depend on the importance of the assessment [D] predetermine the accuracy of our judgment 32.

The Europe Union is now considering legislation to pel corporate boards to maintain a certain proportion of womenup to 60 proposed mandate was born of frustration. Last year, Europe Commission Vice President Viviane Reding issued a call to voluntary action. Reding invited corporations to sign up for gender balance goal of 40 percent female board membership. But her appeal was considered a failure: only 24 panies took it up. Do we need quotas to ensure that women can continue to climb the corporate Ladder fairy as they balance work and family? “ Personally, I don’ t like quotas,” Reding said recently. “ But i like what the quotas do.” Quotas get action: they “ open the way to equality and they break through the glass ceiling,” according to Reding, a result seen in France and other countries with legally binding provisions on placing women in top business positions. I understand Reding’ s reluctanceand her frustration. I don’ t like quotas either。 they run counter to my belief in meritocracy, government by the capable. Bur, when one considers the obstacles to achieving the meritocratic ideal, it does look as if a fairer world must be temporarily ordered. After all, four decades of evidence has now shown that corporations in Europe as the US are evading the meritocratic hiring and promotion of women to top position— no matter how much “ soft pressure ” is put upon them. When women do break through to the summit of corporate poweras, for example, Sheryl Sandberg recently did at Facebook— they attract massive attention precisely because they remain the exception to the rule. If appropriate pubic policies were in place to help all womenwhether CEOs or their children’ s caregiversand all families, Sandberg would be no more newsworthy than any other highly capable person living in a more just society. 36.
