Every decision is made within a decision environment, which is defined as the collection of information, alternatives, values. Many decision makers have a(n) 50 to seek more information than required to make a good decision. When too much information is sought and obtained, one or more of several 51 can arise.
﹡ A 52 in the decision occurs because of the time required to obtain and process the extra information.
﹡ 53 overload will occur. In this state, so much information is available that decision-making ability actually 54 because the information in its entirety can no longer be managed or assessed 55 . A major problem caused by information overload is 56 . When too much information is taken into memory, especially in a short period of time, some of the information (often that received early on) will be pushed out.
﹡Selective use of the information will occur. 57 , the decision maker will choose from among all the information available only those facts which support a preconceived(预先构想的) solution or position.
﹡Mental fatigue occurs, which 58 slower work or poor quality work.
﹡ 59 fatigue occurs, where the decision maker tires of making decisions. Often the result is fast, careless decisions or no decisions are made at all.
The quantity of information that can be processed by the human mind is limited. Unless information is 60 selected, processing will be biased toward the first part of the information received. After that, the mind tires and begins to 61 subsequent information or forget earlier information.
A common 62 about decision making is that decisions are made in isolation from each other: you gather information, explore alternatives, and 63 , without regard to anything that has gone before. The fact is, decisions are made in a context of other decisions.
We might say, then every decision 64 from previous decisions: enables many future decisions, and assists other future decisions.

The requirements for high school graduation have just changed in my community. As a result, all students must 36 sixty hours of service learning, 37 they will not receive a diploma（文凭）. 38 of service learning include cleaning up a polluted river, working in a soup kitchen, or tutoring a student. During a service experience, students must keep a journal and then write a 39 about what they have learned.
Supporters state that there are many 40 of service learning. Perhaps most importantly, students are forced to think 41 their own interests and become aware of the needs of others. Students are also able to learn real-life skills that 42 responsibility, problem-solving, and working as part of a team. Finally, students can explore possible careers 43 service learning.
For example, if a student wonders what teaching is like, he or she can choose to work in a primary school classroom a few afternoons each month. 44 there are many benefits, opponents （反对者） point out problems with the new requirement. First, they 45 that ,because service learning is time-consuming, students spend 46 time studying the core subjects. Second, they believe that forcing students to work without 47 goes against the law.
In my view, service learning is a great way to 48 to the community, learn new skills, and explore different careers. 49 , I don’ t believe you should force people to help others – the 50 to help must come from the heart. I think the best solution is one that gives students choices. Choice encourages both freedom and responsibility.

Valentine’s Day may come from the ancient Roman feast of Lupercalia. 36 the fierce wolves roamed nearby, the old Romans called 37 the god Lupercus to help them. A festival in his 38 was held on February 15th. On the eve of the festival the 39 of the girls were written on 40 of paper and placed in jars. Each young man 41 a slip. The girl whose name was 42 was to be his sweetheart for the year.
Legend 43 it that the holiday became Valentine’s Day 44 a Roman bishop named Valentine. Emperor Claudius II 45 the Roman soldiers NOT to marry or become engaged.

China is known as a country of etiquette (礼节) and ceremonies. Here is an interesting story that shows this. Once upon a time, a man 36 on a long trip to visit his friend and took a swan as a gift. But the swan 37 from its cage on the way and when he tried to 38 it, he got hold of nothing but a 39 . Instead of returning home, he continued his 40 taking the swan feather with him. When his friend received this 41 gift, he was deeply moved. And the 42 ‘The gift is nothing much, but it’s the thought that counts.’ was 43 far and wide.
Chinese used to 44 one hand in the other in front of the chest as a salute. This 45 has a history of more than 2,000 years but nowadays it is 46 used except on the Spring Festival. And shaking hands is more popular and 47 on formal occasions. Bowing was often used by people in a 48 position such as subordinates(下属), students, and attendants. 49 at present Chinese youngsters tend to simply nod as a greeting.
It is common social practice to 50 the junior to the senior, or the familiar to the unfamiliar. When you start a talk 51 a stranger, topics such as weather, food, or 52 are a good choice to break the ice. With a 53 , a chat about current affairs, sports, the stock market or his job usually goes 54 . Similar to Western customs, you should be 55 in asking a woman private questions.

Every country has its own culture.
Even though each country uses doors, doors may have 50 functions and purposes which lead to 51 differences.
When I first came to America, I noticed that a public building had two different 52 and they had distinct functions. You have to push the door with the word “ PUSH ” to go out of the building and to pull the door with the word “PULL” to 53 the building. This was new to me, because we use the 54 door in South Korea. For quite a few times I failed to go out of a shopping centre and was embarrassed.
The way of using school bus doors was also 55 to me. I used to take the school bus to school. The school decided that when the driver opened both the front and back door. Students who were getting off the bus should get off first, and students who were getting on should get on 56 in South Korea. We do not need to wait for people to 57 . One morning I hurried to the bus, and when the bus doors opened, I 58 tried to get on the school bus through the front door. All the students around looked at me.

What is the purpose of the World Games? What's the difference between the World Games and the Olympic Games?
_50 _the Olympic Games, the World Games have a rather _51_ history．In 1981, the first World Games were held in Santa Clara．Since then, in the year following the Olympics, some of the world's best athletes _52_ in their common search for _53_ at the world Games．
There are usually 25 to 35 _54_ at the World Games, The events at the World Games are not part of the Olympics or ones were part of the Olympic Games．Many events at the World Games _55_ as Olympic events, like weightlifting and badminton．They got their start as events at the World Games _56_ being moved into the Olympics．Just like the Olympics, the World Games also have _57_ competitions．These competitions get the sport the chance to be seen and the chance to become medal events．
The World Games are _58_ tied to the Olympic Games because the International Olympic Committee is the sponsor of the International World Games Association．The International Olympic Committee has decided that the number of Olympic participants is _59_ 10,500．The new policy means that no World Games competitions will be _60_ the Olympics any time soon．
This year, the World Games were held in Taiwan．Some events, like softball, _61_ be Olympic sports but were dropped and now are _62_ for the World Games．The World Games look like a perfect supplement and _63_ ground for future Olympic Games．So next time you get a chance to watch the World Games, you may want to pay attention as it could be the future, or maybe even _64_．

Being alone in outer space can be __36__. That is one reason why astronauts on solo space flights were given plenty of work to keep them 37 . They were also in constant communication with people on the earth. 38 , being with people from whom you cannot get away might be even harder than being alone. This is what happens on long submarine(海底)voyages. It will also happen on 39 space flights in the future. Will there be special problems of adjustment under such conditions?
Scientists have studied the reactions of men to one another during long submarine voyages. They have also found that the longer the voyage lasts, the more serious the problem of 40 is. When men are 41 together for a long period, they begin to feel 42 . Everyone has little habits of speaking and behaving that are ordinarily acceptable. In the limited space over a long period of time, however, these little habits may become very_ 43 .
Apparently, although no one wants to be 44 all the time, everyone needs some degree of privacy. When people are enclosed together, they are in what is called stress situation. That means that they are under an unusual amount of 45 or stress.
People who are well-adjusted are able to 46 stress situations better than others. That is one reason why so much care is taken in 47 our astronauts. These men undergo a long period of testing and training. One of the things tested is their behavior under stress, and thus they can do better than ordinary people.

Scientists say they have found key clues（线索）into how long we will live. One of them is a firm __21___. British researchers believe a firm strong handshake is not just a __22___ of confidence but also an indicator of a long life. Lead author Dr Rachel Cooper of University College London said her study looked __23___ 33 different reports on the __24___ of handshakes. The research involved more than 50,000 men and women and __25___ 40 years. Dr Cooper concluded that __26___ with weaker handshakes were 70 per cent more likely to die earlier than those with the __27___ handshakes. She concludes that people with a firm strong handshake __28___ from a happy childhood that __29___ a healthy diet and __30___ of exercise.
The new study, __31___ in the British Medical Journal, also found other signs of living a longer life. These 'measures of __32___ capability' include walking at a faster pace, getting out of a chair quickly, and being able to __33___ on one leg. The study showed that slow walkers were almost three times __34___ to die at a younger age than those who walked quickly and actively.
