Procrastination（拖延癥） Tech Support Choosing between immediate satisfaction and future benefit can easily lead to shortsighted decisions：Watching TV instead of going to the gym，for example，or going through social media rather than working on a challenging project．（1）AA
To guide individuals toward greatest choices，F(xiàn)alk Lieder，a cognitive（認(rèn)知） scientist，and his colleagues designed a digital tool called a "cognitive prosthesis．" It uses artificial intelligence to match a decision's immediate reward with its long-term worth after making a to-do list．The researchers developed a set of models and algorithms（算法） that consider various elements such as a list of tasks，an individual's unwillingness to each and the amount of time available．（2）CC It helps to encourage that person to complete them all．
The idea was to turn the challenging projects that people pursue in the real world into a game like environment． "The point system gives people achievable goals that signal that they're making progress．" Lieder says．
（3）BB The results，published online in August in Nature Human Behavior，revealed that the AI support system helped people make better，faster decisions and procrastinate less-and it made them more likely to complete all the assigned tasks．In one experiment，in which the researchers presented 120 participants with a list of several writing assignments．（4）EEHowever，the rate was only 56 percent for those not using it．
Lieder says one of the current tool's limitations is that it can handle only short to-do lists．（5）DD At the same time，they are working with a company called Complice to integrate the tool into an existing to-do list app．The researchers also plan to run field experiments to see how well their cognitive prosthesis succeed in the real world．
A．People often struggle to do what's best for them in the long run．
B．The team tested this tool in a series of experiments with human subjects．
C．The system then assigns reward points to each task in a way that is customized．
D．And now，he and his team are trying to develop it up for a larger number of tasks．
E．They found that 85 percent of individuals who used the tool completed all their tasks．
F．A study was conducted to find a way to help people increase their decision-making ability．
G．This tool is a convincing demonstration that procrastination is something that this strategy can help with quite a lot．

1．Are people less or more happy when they get older？A study in 2018 found that people generally become happier and experience less worry after age 50.In fact，it found that by the age of 85，people are happier with their life than they were at 18.
Arthur Stone in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Science at Stony Brook University in New York led the study.His team found that levels of stress were the highest among adults between the ages of 22 and 25.（1）
Happiness was the highest among the youngest adults and those in their early 70s.But the people least likely to report feeling negative emotions were those in their 70s and 80s.The survey also found that men and women have similar emotional patterns as they grow older.（2）
The researchers also considered possible influences like having young children，being unemployed or being single.But they found that influences like these did not affect the levels of happiness and wellbeing related to age.
（3）One theory is that，as people get older，they become more thankful for what they have and have better control of their emotions.They also spend less time thinking about bad experiences.
（4）In another study，people in their 80s reported the fewest problems with the quality of their sleep.The original goal was to confirm the popular belief that aging is connected with increased sleep problems.（5）But except for that，people reported that they felt their sleep quality improved as they got older.
A.So why will happiness increase with age？
B.Researchers surveyed more than 150，000 American adults.
C.At that time，the people were between the ages of 18 and 85.
D.Stress levels dropped sharply after people reached their 50s.
E.Happiness is not the only thing that apparently improves with age.
F.The survey did find an increase during middle age，especially in women.
G.However，women at all ages reported more sadness，stress and worry than men.發(fā)布：2024/12/14 13:30:1組卷：13引用：1難度：0.5 -
