章节摘录

插图：It's seven weeks into the new year. Do you know where your resolution is？ If you're like millions of Americans,you probably vowed to lose weight, quit smoking and drink less in the new year. You kicked off January witha com-mitment to long-term well-being——until you came face-to-face with a cheeseburger. You spent a bundle on a shinynew gym pass. Turns out, it wasn't reason enough for you to actually use the gym.People can make poor decisions when it comes to health——despite their best intentions. It's not easy abiding bywholesome choices （giving up French fries） when the consequences of not doing so （heart disease） seem so far in thefuture. Most people are bad at judging their health risks: smokers generally know cigarettes cause cancer, but theyalso tend to believe they're less likely than other smokers to get it. And as any snack-loving dieter can attest, peoplecan be comically inept at predicting their future behavior. You swear you will eat just one potato chip hut don't stopuntil the bag is empty.So, what does it take to motivate people to stick to the path set by their conscious brain？ How can good choicesbe made to seem more appealing than bad ones？ The problem stumps doctors, public-health officials and weight-lossexperts, but one solution may spring from an unlikely source. Meet your new personal trainer, your boss.American businesses have a particular interest in personal health, since worker illness costs them billions eachyear in insurance claims, sick days and high staff turnover. A 2008 survey of major US employers found that 64%consider their employees' poor health decisions a serious barrier to affordable insurance coverage.  Now somecompanies are tackling the motivation problem head on, using tactics drawn from behavioral psychology to nudgetheir employees to get healthy."It's a bit paradoxical that employers need to provide incentives for people to improve their own health," saysMichael Follick, a behavioral psychologist at Brown University and president of the consultancy Abacus EmployerHealth Solutions.Paradoxical, maybe, but effective. Consider Arnica Mutual Insurance, based in Rhode Island. Arnica seemed tobe doing everything right~ it boasts an on-site fitness center at its headquarters. It pays toward Weight Watchers andsm0king-cessation help, gives gift cards to reward proper prenatal care and offers free flu shots each year. Still, inthe mid-2000s, about 7% of the company's insured population, including roughly 3 100 employees and their depend-ents, had diabetes. "We manage risk. That's our core business," says Scott Boyd, Amica's director of compensationand benefits. But diabetes-related claims from Arnica employees had doubled in four years. "We thought, OK,"Boyd says now, "we have to manage these high-risk groups a little better. "

•   好，随便练习一下
•   挺好的，但是答题卡好像不是考研用的真正的答题卡
•   买回来还没看，感觉应该还行。
•   阅读的难易水平不是很平均
•   作為考生，買來練練也是有必要的
•   原本以为送的是正规的答题卡，买来之后才发现就是最后附了一张所谓模拟答题卡的纸，根本就没有什么用~爱，太失望了~
•   纸质有点粗糙，不知道是不是真的，但又有防伪标志。总体还行···
