第四部分 任务型阅读 (共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分)
请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意: 请将答案写在答题卡上相应题号的横线上。每个空格只填一个单词。
In a study just published in the journal Intelligence, using search terms such as ―stupid thing to do‖, Balazs Aczel and his colleagues compiled a collection of stories describing stupid mistakes from sources such as The Huffington Post and TMZ. The researchers then had a sample of university students rate each story on the responsibility of the people involved, the influence of the situation, the seriousness of the consequences, and other factors.
Analyses of the subjects’ ratings revealed three varieties of stupid mistakes. The first is when a person’s confidence goes beyond their skill, as when a Pittsburgh man robbed two banks in broad daylight without wearing a disguise, believing that lemon juice he had rubbed on his face would make him invisible to security cameras.
The confidence-skill disconnection has been named the Dunning-Kruger effect, after a study by social psychologists David Dunning and Justin Kruger. Dunning and Kruger had Cornell undergraduates perform tests of humor, logic, and grammar, and then rate how well they think they performed compared to other subjects in the study. The worst performing subjects, whose scores put them in the 12th percentile, estimated that they had performed in the 62nd percentile. Summarizing the findings, Dunning noted, ―Poor performers—and we are all poor performers at some things—fail to see the flaws in their thinking or the answers they lack.‖ When we think we are at our best is sometimes when we are at our objective worst.

As any number of political scandals illustrate, the second type of stupid mistake involves impulsive acts—when we seem unable to keep our behavior in check. In the scandal that became known as Weinergate, former U.S. representative Anthony Weiner sent blue texts and pictures of himself to women he met on Facebook. (After resigning, Weiner continued his cyber-dalliances, and then fell prey to the Dunning-Kruger effect when he overestimated his support in the 2013 New York City mayoral primary; he received 5% of the vote.)
The final variety of stupid mistake involves failing to concentrate—Homer Simpsonesque D’oh moments. As arguably the best example from American sports history, in the 1929 Rose Bowl, University of California star Roy Riegels recovered a fumble(失误球) and returned it 65 yards the wrong way. Riegel’s mistake set up a safety for Georgia Tech, which turned out to be the deciding factor in the opponent’s victory. Aczel and colleagues’ analyses revealed that subjects viewed this category of stupid mistake as the least stupid.
It is, of course, unrealistic to think that we could ever eliminate human error. To err will always be human. However, this research gives us a better description of our failings and weaknesses, and a place to start in thinking about interventions and prescriptions to help us err less. This research also reminds us of our shared human weaknesses. We all tend to overestimate our abilities, to make impulsive decisions, and to fail to keep attention. This simple realization makes stupid mistakes seem, perhaps, a little less stupid — and a little more human.

\from my four year old daughter was an uncomfortable wake up call. How had I let the shiny electronic box in my hand take so much of my attention that it could even interrupt a short bedtime story with my precious children?
It's no exaggeration to suggest that our mobile devices are in danger of taking over our entire lives. Time magazine found that 68% of users take their devices to bed with them, 20% check their phones every ten minutes and one third report feeling anxious when briefly separated from their beloved gadget. According to Osterman research, 79% of respondents take their work-related device on vacation and 33% admit to hiding from family and friends in order to check Facebook and Twitter. It's hard to deny that these are worrying trends.

A father’s concern that smartphone is depriving him of his precious family time does not stand alone. Favorable opinions as there are, the majority of Americans today view technology as hazardous. (31 words)
【选“是”】
However, no pains, no gains. The world evolves as human technology leaps forward, along whose process there is bound to be sacrifices. The definition of happiness may vary, but a more connected, convenient, and creative society is undeniably nothing a modern man wouldn’t have desired. With digital devices booming around, we are given so many choices that our minds have been freed to a degree our ancestors could never anticipated.
That being said, to make sure technology doesn’t get in the way, you need to unplug from the information highway and share your journey with your family and friends from time to time. A balance between man and computers will lead to an ultimate happiness. (115 words)
【选“否”】
True, a high-tech world seems a new Eden, but it won’t last any longer than the old one. Putting down their phones, lifting up their misty eyes, and waking up at night, people suddenly realize that, with all their family living by, they are alone. Children forgot how and why they should return their parents’ love because it were never given; classic literature is left rotten on the shelves because no one bothers to look away from their screen.
To stop yourself getting ―high‖ instead of ―happy‖, read a book, go outdoors, or simply pay a visit to your parents. There are things to pursue in life other than thumbing up tweets. Enjoy a tech-free day and see what real happiness means. (122 words)
