3.DI
Scenario: Investment Dynamics in China's New Pension Scheme
In 2024, China implemented a revolutionary pension scheme to address its aging population and the sustainability of retirement benefits. Under this new system, individuals are required to contribute a portion of their income to a personal pension account, which can then be allocated across various investment options, including stocks, bonds, and real estate investment trusts (REITs) both domestically and internationally.

The Chinese government, to encourage active participation and diversification, introduced a default investment option that evenly splits contributions between domestic and international assets. Despite this, an aggressive campaign highlighting the recent surge in the Chinese real estate market led to a significant portion of individuals opting heavily for domestic REITs.

Reports from the preceding year showed an unprecedented rise in property values within China, driven by urbanization and policy reforms. However, experts have long cautioned about the volatility and speculative nature of real estate investments.

Data Overview:
Default Strategy Allocation: 50% Domestic Assets, 50% International Assets
Average Annual Return on Default Strategy: 7%
Proportion of Individuals Choosing Over 70% Allocation in Domestic REITs: 65%
Average Annual Return on Domestic REITs (Last Year): 15%
Projected Long-term Annual Return on Domestic REITs: 3%


Which cognitive bias most influenced the investment decisions favoring domestic REITs?
A. Status quo bias
B. Overconfidence bias
C. Availability bias
D. Home bias

Based on the scenario, what would have been the rational choice for investors seeking to maximize their retirement savings?
A. Following the government’s default investment option.
B. Investing heavily in domestic REITs based on last year's performance.
C. Allocating all contributions to international assets.
D. Avoiding real estate investments entirely.

What potential risk is associated with the heavy preference for domestic REITs?
A. Inability to diversify investment risks.
B. Exceeding the government's contribution limit.
C. Undermining the effectiveness of the default investment strategy.
D. Overexposure to international market volatility.

If the trend of investing heavily in domestic REITs continues, what long-term impact could it have on individual retirement savings?
A. Increase in the overall savings due to higher returns.
B. Decrease in savings due to potential market corrections.
C. Stabilization of the real estate market.
D. Reduction in the reliance on government pension support.

CR
1. B
first message: emphasize environmental benefits + second message: majority guests already reusing --> second message more effective

(A) 方向相反，应该是social proof > environmental concerns
(B) 正确，guest的心态: 「大家都这么做，我好像也该这么做」，more effective可以对应题目中的higher percentage
(C) 题目中提到second message是”higher” percentage，表示message 1 & 2都有提高towel reuse，只是message 2更有效，message 1也有提高towel reuse，只是比例较低，不代表guests没看懂
(D) 题目中没有提及hotel的预期，因此无法和实际情况互相比较
(E) 题目中并没有提到placement of labels in the hotel rooms，只说了会把message 1 & 2显示在towel的label上

2. B
individuals employed have lower incidence of illness compared to individuals unemployed --> having a job reduces one’s likelihood of falling ill

(A) 方向相反，这是在支持individuals确实是因为是否有工作而影响到整体健康
(B) 正确，倒果为因，不是因为有工作使人们更不易生病，而是公司本来就招聘不易生病的人
(C) 如果是这样的话，people unemployed怎么还会更容易生病呢? 有点违背前提
(D) 违背前提
(E) 题目中并没有提到那些居家办公的人，不应该把他们和在办公室上班的人比较

P1
states a finding: a 30-million-year-old fossil in southern Germany showed unknown history of hummingbirds
details of the finding:
1. introduces Eurotrochilus inexpectatus – a species exhibiting similar characteristics of modern hummingbirds
2. expands geographic history of hummingbirds
3. prompts reevaluation of their evolution + reasons of extinction in EU

P2
signification of the fossil: understanding early evolution of hummingbirds
similarities of ancient vs modern hummingbirds: 1. beak 2. wing structure

P3
implications of finding:
1. coevolution of hummingbirds & certain EU flowers – mutual relationship
2. disappearance of Old World hummingbirds – due to competition with songbirds?
further study suggested: origins & migration patterns of hummingbirds & songbirds

1. B
2. B
第二段: The fossil’s resemblance to contemporary hummingbirds, especially its beak designed for nectar feeding and its wing structure enabling hover flight, ……
3. B
第三段: This finding raises intriguing questions about the coevolution of hummingbirds and certain European flowers, suggesting a mutualistic relationship that ……
4. C
第三段: The disappearance of Old World hummingbirds, potentially due to competition with songbirds, remains speculative, ……
5. D
第三段: The disappearance of Old World hummingbirds, potentially due to competition with songbirds, remains speculative, highlighting the need for further paleontological discoveries to fully comprehend the origins and migration patterns of these fascinating birds.

DI
1. A (C)
第二段: Despite this, an aggressive campaign highlighting the recent surge in the Chinese real estate market led to a significant portion of individuals opting heavily for domestic REITs.
第三段: Reports from the preceding year showed an unprecedented rise in property values within China, driven by urbanization and policy reforms.
从这两处可以发现为当时现状及后来实际状况上的偏差。
2. A
Data Overview:
Average Annual Return on Default Strategy: 7% > Projected Long-term Annual Return on Domestic REITs: 3%
3. D (A)
第三段: However, experts have long cautioned about the volatility and speculative nature of real estate investments.
4. B
Data Overview:
Average Annual Return on Domestic REITs (Last Year): 15%
Projected Long-term Annual Return on Domestic REITs: 3%
可见即使去年报酬率为15%，经过长期市场机制调整，报酬率会慢慢下降至3%。
