    They say the average person makes 35,000 decisions a day. Yet in her new book, How Woman Decide, Therese Huston explores a widespread thing that many women fail to notice. “There’s a huge double standard when it comes to how men and women are viewed as decision makers,” explains Therese, a psychologist from Seattle University. Therese decided to write the book after looking at her bookshelf: bestselling books about decision-making—all written by men and featuring interviews with men like professional ball players

“Once those women are at the table, will their decisions be taken as seriously as men’s?Therese Wondered. “Men are respected as decision makers more than women, especially in the workplace, largely because there’s this cultural belief that women are unable to make smart choices at work.” So, Therese set out to part with the stereotypes(固有印象)to see what scientific research had found. “Scientific research shows that men and women struggle with decision-making in the similar way. The only disadvantage I found was that during the teenage years teenage girls are more indecisive than teenage boys. That means boys can make a decision more easily. Otherwise, there’s few differences between the genders(性别).”

However, there are some differences. “Women are more collaborative(协作的),” says Therese. “A female boss is more likely to ask the opinions of those around her when making a choice. Women ask for advice, which helps make better decisions. However, this is often seen as a weakness rather than a strength.”

Therese also found that during times of stress, men and women make different choices, and the results are often better when women are involved. Study after study backs this view up. Neuroscientists Mara Mather and Nicole Lighthall from the University of Southern California studied the way men and women make decisions and found that in times of stress, they react very differently. During their study, which involved playing a virtual gambling(赌博)game, they found that when the females became stressed, they made smarter decisionsgiving up while they were ahead or taking safe bets. But when the men became stressed, they did the opposite, risking everything for a small chance of a big win

Do you drink water that’s been left sitting out overnight or even for another day? Have you noticed it tastes different?

Tap water(自来水) that has been left to sit out slowly begins to get an off taste. Many people think that this is because of microorganisms(微生物). But that’s not what makes old water taste not fresh. For that we can think of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳). After about 12 hours, tap water starts to go flat as carbon dioxide in the air starts to mix with the water in the glass, lowering its PH and giving it an off taste. But it's most likely not harmful to drink.

However, back to those microorganisms. If you use a dirty glass day after day, there will be more chances to get bacteria(细菌). The risk will increase if you share the glass with another mouth as well. But supposing you use a fresh glass every few days, you probably won't have a problem unless the glass has been touched by dirty fingers, and especially if those dirty fingers went unwashed after using the bathroom.

As for plastic water bottles that have been left out in the sun or in the car, step away from the bottles, warns Dr. Kellogg Schwab, director of the Johns Hopkins University Water Institute. “A chemical named biphenyl-A, or BPA, along with other things used to make plastic can leach(过滤) into your water if the bottle heats up or sits in the sun,” he explains. BPA, as you probably know, has been linked to everything from serious heart problems to cancer. Schwab also adds that plastic used for commercial bottled water isn’t supposed to be washed or refilled, so use only one time and recycle. Or don't buy them at all; use refillable water bottles instead.

2.According to Paragraph 2, tap water that's been left sitting out for 12 hours__________.

A.To share the glass with another person. B.To hold the clean glass with dirty hands.

C.To keep your hands and glass clean. D.To drink after using the bathroom.

4.What should we do with plastic water bottles that are left out in the sun or in the car?

A.Use them after they cool down. B.Clean them and use them again.

C.Throw the bottles away. D.Refill them with fresh water.

5.Which of the following is true about BPA?

Long ago, Adana lived in a small village in Africa. Everyone in the village had jobs to do, and the villagers depended on one another. When Adana turned ten, her mother let her come around.

“Adana, it is time for you to take your place in the village. You shall be the water girl. Each morning, we need you to go down to the spring, fill these buckets with water, and bring them back to the village before noon.”

Adana took pride in being given such an important job. She picked up the yoke with the buckets, flung it over her back, and walked to the spring. When she arrived, she took a drink and then filled the buckets with clean, cool water. Adana looked at the sun. It was nearly noon and she knew the villagers were depending on her.

She turned to a water girl from a nearby village and asked, “How long will it take to carry this water back to my village?”

The girl thoughtfully replied, “If you go slowly, it will not take very long. But, if you go fast, it will take you all day.”

Adana listened, and thought about what the girl had told her. She did not believe the girl, and she climbed back up the bank and headed down the path toward her village. Adana started off slowly, but increased her speed with each step. Soon, she was slowly jogging back toward her village. Half way home, she stopped to take a little sip of water. When she did, she saw that the buckets were only half full. Water had been sloshing out along the path as she travelled.

Disheartened, Adana turned back toward the spring. Once again, she filled the buckets with nice, clean water. Then, she walked slowly back toward the village.

From that day forward, Adana walked quickly to the spring each morning. On her way home, she walked slowly and carefully.
