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．

The Hidden Meaning of Kids' Scribbles （胡乱画） A parent might place his daughter's tadpole （蝌蚪） drawing on the fridge out of a love for his child rather than for the funky-looking image， but for many people， that tadpole art is actually quite charming． In fact， adult abstract artists were often inspired by children's drawing． Observers have found similar patterns in modem abstract art and kids' drawing．
Acknowledging that young kids aren't as eager to produce a realistic rendering （呈现）helps demonstrate what the drawing experience means to them． For many kids， drawing is enjoyable not because of the final product it leads to， but because they can live completely in the world of their drawing for a few minutes． Adults may find it hard to relate to this sort of full-body， short experience． But the opportunities for self-expression that drawing provides have important， even therapeutic， value for kids．
Maureen Ingram， who's a preschool teacher， said her students often tell different stories about a given piece of art depending on the day， perhaps because they weren't sure what they intended to draw when they started the picture． \，‘ I'm going to draw a horse，' and we set out…and get frustrated when we can't do it，\． \seem to take a much more sensible approach， where they just draw， and then they realize， \．\
Ultimately，what may be most revealing about kids，art isn't the art itself but what they say during the drawing process． Studies suggest that kids will create an elaborate narrative （详细的故事）while drawing，but when telling adults about their work they'll simply name the items or characters in the image．
And what about those odd or scary-looking drawings？ Does that mean kids are telling themselves stories that are odd or scary？ It's hard to say，but it's rarely a good idea to over-interpret it． Ellen Winner， a psychology professor at Boston College， pointed to parents who worry when their kid draws a child the same size as the adults， wondering whether she's suffering from， say， a feeling of impotence -a desire to feel as powerful as older people． But the likely reason is that the child hasn't yet learned how to differentiate size； the easiest solution is to just make all the figures the same size．

So Close, Yet So Far
Where am I? What am I doing? If you’re one of my 500 friends online, you’ll always be the first to know. My phone and laptop are never out of touching distance, so I’m constantly posting updates on social media—whether I’m having a coffee, on my way to school, watching TV… even when I’m in the shower. I have a never-ending flow of messages and updates from all the people I associate with online.
I live in a university dorm with a couple of great roommates. Yet the truth of the matter is: I feel lonely. A few days ago, I went out for a dinner
get-together with some friends. My best friend left the table for 30 minutes because he had to take a call. Some spent the dinner bent over their phones, texting friends online but ignoring the one who sat right in front of them. And the extraordinary thing is no one thought this was rude; it’s just how life is nowadays.
