35、at group size is best for making decisions quickly? for ants, four to six heads surpass one - and also outperform 12 or 24. thats what sylvia zarnescu now reports.the 18-year-old senior at catalina foothills high school in tucson, arizona isnt generally into ants. shes interested in decision-making,

36、 especially by people. last summer, sylvia read that social insects such as ants and bees can be used to model decision-making. ants, for example, forage for food. when an ant finds it, it takes a bite and heads back to the nest. on the way, the ant leaves a scented trail for other ants to pick. up.

37、 back at the nest, the ant vomits up its meal into the mouth of other ants. those nest-mates then decide with the first ant whether the food is good enough to deserve a trip back for more. if it is, they follow the first ant's scented trail to lunch.when there are too few ants, it could take a l

38、ong time for one ant to spread the word. if there are too many, its hard to “tell” each about the find. what;s the right number for foraging success? sylvia decided to find out. she contacted professors at the university of arizona in tucson to look for someone who would let her study decision-makin

39、g by ants in their lab. professor wulfila gronenberg answered her email.working with one of wulfilas graduate students, sylvia set up an experiment. she tested the behavior of one, two, four, six, twelve and twenty-four ants. each group was placed in a large box at a taped “starting line”. at the ot

40、her end of the box were two bricks of sweetened gelatin（动物胶）- one contained only 3 per cent sugar, and the other 30 per cent. sylvia timed how long it took each group of ants to find the food. she also measured how much time they spent around each sweet treat. when there were just one or two ants, t

41、he discovery was slow. the same was true when she set twelve or twenty-four loose. but four to six ants? perfect! these medium-size groups found the food forest. they also figured out quickly that the sweeter food was better.similar work has been done on bighorn sheep, fish and fruit flies. “it may

42、not be four to six animals, but its the same principle? sylvia says. a medium-size group “is optimal”. so when faced with a new decision, two heads are better than one. but too many heads are too much. like the ants, a good decision may just require a happy medium.58. sylvia the idea for her researc

43、h?a. her interest in social insects.b. an article about social animals.c. a university professors invitation.d. her doubt about a science report.59. what do we know about sylvias experiment?a. she set it up with professor wulfila gronenberg.b. there were two large boxes at the “starting line”.c. the

44、re were several kinds of foods for the ants.d. she divided the ants into six different groups.60. what did sylvia find out about ants?a. they make decisions faster in medium-sized groups.b. they are better at finding food in smaller groups.c. they perform much more smartly in larger groups.d. they m

45、ake better decisions when working together.cby now youve probably heard about the “youre not special” speech, when english teacher david mccullough told graduating seniors at wellesley high school: “do not get the idea youre anything special, because youre not.” mothers and fathers present at the ce

46、remony - and a whole lot of other parents across the internet - took issue with mcculloughs ego-puncturing （伤自尊的）words. but lost in the uproar（喧嚣）was something we really should be taking to heart: our young people actually have no idea whether theyre particularly talented or accomplished or not. in

47、our eagerness to elevate their self-esteem, we forgot to teach them how to realistically assess their own abilities, a crucial requirement for getting better at anything from math to music to sports. in fact, its not just privileged high-school students: we all tend to view ourselves as above averag

48、e.such high self-judgments have been found in study after study, and it's often exactly when were least competent at a given task that we rate our performance most generously. in a 2006 study published in the journal medical education, for example, medical students who scored the lowest on an es

49、say test were the most charitable in their self-evaluations, while high-scoring students judged themselves much more strictly. poor students, the authors note, “lack insight” into their own inadequacy. why should this be? another study, led by cornell university psychologist david dunning, offers an

50、 enlightening explanation. people who are incompetent, he writes with coauthor justin kruger, suffer from a “dual burden”: theyre not good at what they do, and their very clumsiness prevents them from recognizing how bad they are.in dunning and krugers study, subjects scoring at the bottom on tests

51、of logic, grammar and humor “extremely overestimated”' their talents. although their lest scores put them in the 12th percentile（百分位数）, they guessed they were in the 62nd. what these individuals lacked（in addition to clear logic, proper grammar and a sense of humor）was “metacognitive skill”: the

52、 capacity to monitor how well theyre performing. in the absence of that capacity, the subjects arrived at an overly hopeful view of their own abilities. theres a paradox here, the authors note: “the skills that lead to competence in a particular domain are often the very same skills necessary to eva

53、luate competence in that field.” in other words, to get better at judging how well were doing at an activity, we have to get better at the activity itself.there are a couple of ways out of this double bind. first, we can learn to make honest comparisons with others. train yourself to recognize excel

54、lence, even when you yourself dont possess it, and compare what you can do against what truly excellent individuals are able to accomplish. second, seek out feedback that is frequent, accurate and specific. find a critic who will tell you not only how poorly youre doing, but just what it is that you

55、re doing wrong. as dunning and kruger note, success indicates to us that everything went right, but failure is more ambiguous: any number of things could have gone wrong. use this external feedback to figure out exactly where and when you screwed up.if we adopt these strategies - and most importantl

56、y, teach them to our children - they wont need parents, or a commencement（毕业典礼）speaker, to tell them that theyre special. theyll already know that they are, or have a plan to get that way.61. the author thinks the real problem is that_.a. no requirement is set up for young people to get betterb. we always tend to consider ourselves to be privilegedc. we dont know whether our young people are talented or notd. young people dont know how to assess their a
