21、 technology.

Between 1962 and 1978 Lotus won seven Formula Oneconstructors championships.It appears to be an uncommon insight since humans always struggle with subtractive thinking.When asked to improve something, they tend to suggest adding new thi

27、ngs rather than removingsome, even when additions lead to not satisfying results. In one study conducted by GabrielleAdams, along with colleagues at the University of Virginia, participants were asked to change apattern on a grid(网格)of coloured squares to make it balanced.Although that could be done

28、equally well by adding new squares or by deleting existing ones,78% chose the additive option.But why people forget that less is often more? One experiment asked participants to redesignan unbalanced Lego structure so that it could support a house-brick. Participants could earn adollar for fixing th

29、e problem, but each piece of Lego they added cut that reward by ten cents. Eventhen, only 41% worked out that simplifying the structure by removing a single block, rather thancomplicating it by adding more, was the way to maximize the payout. Practice improved peopleschances of spotting subtractive

30、solutions, suggesting that many were simply not thinking of thepossibility, at least at first.What all this amounts to is evidence for additive thinking entering the list of cognitivebiases(认知偏差).The 2002 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences was awarded fordemonstrating that humans are not thin

To change a patterns colour.34. What can we know about subtractive thinking from paragraph 3?A. It can make things more comple

Less is often more.B. Think less and act more.C. Additive thinking is a shortcut.D. Economists think more logically
