A
My name is Jaimic Eckert and I’ve been int vlunteer wrk since childhd. As a girl, I vlunteered at animal shelters, played music at nursing hmes, and helped with cmmunity cleanup after disasters. In cllege, I vlunteered heavily at a large yearly cnference fr yung adults, which is where I fell in lve with my husband-t-be, wh was n my team f c-vlunteers. Since getting married in 2013, we’ve been living in Beirut, Lebann. I actually have an nline caching business but I’ve had many pprtunities t vlunteer with prjects fr Syrian refugees(难民) and yuth educatin.
Vlunteering has been a way f life fr me fr a very lng time, and I wuldn’t d it if I didn’t enjy it. Mst f the time, yu d feel that yu’re making a difference. Once I was leading ut a prject that prvided fd bxes t Syrian refugee families. When it was nearing Ramadan, the biggest hliday seasn in Islam, I literally stuffed the fd package with extra treats... dates, nuts, live il and sweets. We tk the package unannunced and ended up arriving just as the Syrian family was sitting dwn n their flr fr breakfast.They had nthing mre than a few pieces f bread and a pt f tea. The mther was in tears as she received us. I’ll never frget their gratitude.
Anther time, back when I was in cllege in the US, a grup f friends and I vlunteered t drive t a distant church that was way ut in the suburb and had nly a few elderly members. The building was in disrepair and the church yard needed attentin. We stayed the weekend in the hme f ne f these ld ladies s we culd clean and repair the church. I’ll never frget hw new life sparkled in her eyes. She culdn’t repair brken drs r pull weeds. but her lve fr us was unmatched. It breaks my heart t remember this ld lady beaming with jy fr such small effrts that we made. Smetimes, vlunteer wrk is fulfilling nt because f the actual jb yu get dne, but because f hw yur presence impacts the peple arund yu.
Vlunteering makes me a better persn because it gets me utside f myself. It puts my fcus n thers. It makes me grateful fr what I have.

When t trust yur gut (直觉)
Humans have been practicing ver millins f years f evlutin t respnd t certain situatins withut thinking t hard. If yur ancestrs sptted mvement in the wild frest, they wuld run first and ask questins later. At the same time, the capacity t analyse and t plan is part f what distinguishes peple frm ther animals. The questin f when t trust yur gut and when t test yur assumptins — whether t think fast r slw, in the language f Daniel Kahneran, a psychlgist — matters in the ffice as much as it des in the flat grassland.
Deliberative thinking is the feature f a well-managed wrkplace. Strategic maintenance and budget discussins are built n runds f meetings, mems, frmulas and presentatins. Prcesses are increasingly designed t rule ut instinctive respnses. Frm blind screening f jb applicants t using “red-teaming” techniques t pick apart a firm’s plans, deliberatin beats instinct.
Yet instinct als has its place. Sme decisins are mre cnnected t emtinal respnses and inherently less tractable t analysis. Des a marketing campaign capture the essence f yur cmpany, say, r wuld this persn wrk well with ther peple in a team? In tricky custmer-service situatins, intuitin is ften a better guide t hw t behave than a script.
Gut instincts can als be imprved (call it “prbitic management”). Plenty f research has shwn that intuitin becmes mre accurate with experience. In ne well-knwn experiment, cnducted in 2012, vlunteers were asked t assess whether a selectin f designer handbags were fake r real. Sme were instructed t perate n instinct and thers t deliberate ver their decisin. Intuitin wrked better fr thse wh wned at least three designer handbags; indeed, it utperfrmed analysis. The mre expert yu becme, the better yur instincts tend t be.
Hwever, the real reasn t embrace fast thinking is that it is, well, fast. Instinctive decisin-making is ften the nly way t get thrugh the day. Researchers at Crnell University nce estimated that peple make ver 200 decisins a day abut fd alne. The wrkplace is nthing but a successin f chices, a few big and many small: what t priritise, when t intervene, whm t avid in the lifts and, nw, where t wrk each day.
When t use intuitin in the wrkplace rests n its wn frm f pattern recgnitin. Des the decisin-maker have real expertise in this area? Is this a field in which emtin matters mre than reasning? Abve all, is it wrth delaying the decisin? Slw thinking is needed t get the big calls right. But fast thinking is the way t stp deliberatin turning t hesitatin.
48. Which f the fllwing situatins may NOT be suitable fr peple t trust their gut?
A. The market respnses are hard t predict.
B. The wrking mechanism is perfectly rganized.
C. The time windw fr making decisin is limited.
D. The relatinship with custmers is smewhat cmplex.
49. What’s the functin f the secnd paragraph?
A. T clearly state the main idea f the article.
B. T critically include the ther side f viewpint.
C. T intrduce examples t supprt the main idea.
D. T supprt the main idea frm the ppsite perspective.
50. Which f the fllwing can be implied frm the passage?
A. The ability t trust yur gut matters mre nwadays.
B. Gut instincts can be imprved by wning designer prducts.
C. Gut instincts are mre advisable in screening jb applicants.
D. Experience plays a vital rle in cultivating gut instincts.
51. Which f the fllwing might be the best sub-title f the passage?
A. Deliberatin is nt always the best ptin.
B. Instinctive decisin-making beats all.
C. Instinctive decisin-making has bth prs and cns.
D. Deliberatin is mre imprtant than gut instincts.
