23、ton published a paper which illustrated what has come to be known as the wisdom of crowds effect.The experiment of estimation he conducted showed that in some cases，the average of a large number of independent estimates could be quite accurate.This effect capitalizes on the fact that when people mak
24、e errors，those errors arent always the same.Some people will tend to overestimate，and some to underestimate.When enough of these errors are averaged together，they cancel each other out，resulting in a more accurate estimate.If people are similar and tend to make the same errors，then their errors wont
25、 cancel each other out.In more technical terms，the wisdom of crowds requires that peoples estimates be independent.If for whatever reasons，peoples errors become correlated or dependent，the accuracy of the estimate will go down.But a new study led by Joaquin Navajas offered an interesting twist （转折）
26、on this classic phenomenon.The key finding of the study was that when crowds were further divided into smaller groups that were allowed to have a discussion，the averages from these groups were more accurate than those from an equal number of independent individuals.For instance，the average obtained
27、from the estimates of four discussion groups of five was significantly more accurate than the average obtained from 20 independent individuals.In a followup study with 100 university students，the researchers tried to get a better sense of what the group members actually did in their discussion.Did t
28、hey tend to go with those most confident about their estimates？Did they follow those least willing to change their minds？This happened some of the time，but it wasnt the dominant response.Most frequently，the groups reported that they shared arguments and reasoned together. Somehow，these arguments and
29、 reasoning resulted in a global reduction in error.Although the studies led by Navajas have limitations and many questions remain，the potential implications for group discussion and decisionmaking are enormous.（1）What is paragraph 2 of the text mainly about？ A.The methods of estimation.B.The underly

38、 friends called with a dinner invitation.I stuck the chicken in the freezer.But as days passed，the arugula went bad.Even worse，I had unthinkingly bought way too much；I could have made six salads with what I threw out.In a world where nearly 800 million people a year go hungry，food waste goes against
39、 the moral grain，as Elizabeth Royte writes in this months cover story.Its jawdropping how much perfectly good food is thrown away from ugly（but quite eatable）vegetables rejected by grocers to large amounts of uneaten dishes thrown into restaurant garbage cans.Producing food that no one eats wastes t
