To err is human. Society is suffering from an inability to acknowledge as

much.

For individuals, errors are painful. The trick, then, is to err well: to recognize

mistakes and learn from them. Worryingly, humanity may be getting worse at admitting

its mistakes.

Few enjoy the feeling of being caught out in an error. But real trouble starts when

the desire to avoid a punishment leads to a refusal to deal with contrary evidence.

Economists often assume that people are sensible. When faced with a new fact, these

people should update their view of the world to take better decisions in future. Yet years

of economic research confirms that people frequently disregard information that

conflicts with their view of the world.

Why should that be? Last year Roland Benabou, of Princeton, presented a

framework for thinking about the problem. In many ways, beliefs are like other

economic goods. People spend time and resources building them, and get value from

them: some beliefs make owners feel good and show their public identity; other beliefs

provide value by shaping behavior—for example, religious asceticism(

禁欲主义

) can

help one avoid unhealthy habits.

Because beliefs, however, are not simply tools for making good decisions, but are

treasured in their own right, new information that challenges them is unwelcome.

People often engage in “motivated reasoning” to manage such challenges. Mr Benabou

classifies this into three categories. “Strategic ignorance” is when a believer avoids

information offering conflicting evidence. In “reality denial”

troubling evidence is

rationalized(

合理化

)

real estate investors might make up fanciful theories for why

prices should behave unusually, and supporters of a disgraced politician might claim the

negative news to be fake. And lastly, in “self­signalling”

the believer creates his own

tools to interpret the facts in the way he wants: an unhealthy person, for example, might

decide that going for a daily run proves he is well.

“Motivated reasoning” is a cognitive bias(

偏见

). Not all the errors it leads to are

costly: praising the performance of one's supported football team despite contradictory

evidence does little harm. But when biases are broadly shared—within financial world

or political parties—danger arises. Motivated reasoning helps explain why viewpoints

polarize (

两极分化

) even as information is more easily available than ever before.

Work by Mr Benabou suggests that groupthink is highest when people within

groups face a shared fate: when choosing to break from a group is unlikely to spare an

individual the costs of the group's errors or bring much individual benefit. The

incentive(

动力

) to engage in motivated reasoning is high as a result. Even as the fact on

a particular issue is obvious, parties can still become increasingly polarized. That, in

turn, can make it harder still for a member of one party to get any benefit from

breaking from a group. Indeed, the group has an incentive to silence independent voices.

Public statements of regret are risky in a rigidly polarized world. Admissions of

error can not only annoy partners but also provide opportunities for opponents. But it is

rarely in the interest of those in the right to pretend that they are never wrong.

According to the passage, beliefs are similar to economic goods in that ________

A

2

Which of the following is an example of “self­signalling”

A

A fan speaks highly of his team although it has just lost the game.

B

A man covers his ears when stealing a bell, believing the bell won't ring.

C

Supporters of Trump believe the news about his affairs with a lady is fake.

D

Suspected AIDS carriers refuse to be tested though it can be done for free.

3

What can be inferred from Paragraphs 6 and 7?

A

Polarization causes individuals to break from the group.

B

Richer sources of information decrease motivated reasoning.

C

Individuals with independent voices are dismissed from the group.

D

Individuals in a group engage in motivated reasoning for their own interests.

A

Denying errors is unavoidable.

Failure to admit errors is harmful.

23.(8分)

in national newspapers, the London Evening Standard, The TLS, The Spectator and the

New Statesman.

Normal People

by Sally Rooney Faber £14.99

Sally Rooney’s debut novel,

Conversations with Friends

, was one of last year’s most

talked-about books. The response to the Irish writer’s follow-up has, if anything, been

even more ecstatic. The 27-year-old was praised for her ability to convey subtle

modulations of emotion. The novel was long listed for the Man Booker Prize — but

many felt that it should have done better.

Vietnam

by Max Hastings William Collins £30

This long-awaited historical blockbuster follows the Vietnam War over three

decades. from the French “dirty war” of 1946—54 to America’s capitulation to the

Vietcong in 1975. Hastings, who reported from the battlefield in Vietnam as a young

British journalist, was praised for his encyclopedic knowledge of the conflict.

The Silence of the Girls

by Pat Barker Hamish Hamilton £18.99

Pat Barker’s novel is a retelling of The

lliad

— but with women at the heart of the

action. The central character is Briseis, who appears only glancingly in Homers original.

Best-known for her First World War Set

Regeneration trilogy (1997)

. Barker, in her

fifties, again focuses on the traumas of war. Reviewers praised the novel’s subversive

energy even if it was judged conventional in places.

A Certain Idea of France

by Julian Jackson Allen Lane £35

This door-stopping biography by British historian Julian Jackson — born in 1954

chronicles the life of Charles de Gaulle who is regarded as one of the greatest ever

Frenchmen. While acknowledging that de Gaulle wasn’t very likeable, Jackson salutes

his imagination and boldness- qualities that helped him steer France through its

liberation from the Nazis and the war in Algeria. Critics suggested it would become the

standard biography.
