Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from warm p raise to old cash, affect motivation and creativity. Behaviorists， who stu dy the relation between actions and, argue that rewards can improve perfo rmance at work and school。 Some other researchers who study various a spects of mental life， maintain those rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others. The latter vie w has gained many supporters， especially among educators。 But the c areful use of small monetary rewards sparks in grade-school children sug gesting that properly presented inducements indeed aid inventiveness, acc ording to a study in the June Journal Personality and Social Psychology。“If they know they’re working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task， they show the most creativity，” says Robert Esenber ger of the University of Delaware in Newark。“But it’s easy to kill creati vity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much anticip ation for rewards.”
A teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out hi gh grades for ordinary achievement ends up with uninspired students， E senberger holds。 As an example of the latter point， he notes growing e fforts at major universities to tighten grading standards and restore falling grades。
In earlier grades, the use of so—called token economics， in which stude nts handle challenging problems and receive performance-based points to ward valued rewards, shows promise in raising effort and creativity， the Delaware psychologist claims。 1. Psychologists are divided with regard to their attitudes toward ____. A) the choice between spiritual encourage ment and monetary rewards
B) the appropriate amount of external rewards C） the study of relationsh ip between actions and
D) the effects of external rewards on students' performance
2. What is the view held by many educators concerning external rewards for students？ A) They approve of external rewards。 B） They don't thi nk external rewards。 C） They have doubts about external rewards。D) They believe external rewards can motivate small children, but not col lege students。
3. According to the result of the study mentioned in the p assage， what should educators do to stimulate motivation and creativity ？ A） Give rewards for performances which deserve them. B） Always promise rewards.
C) Assign tasks which are not very challenging.
D） Be more lenient to students when mistakes are made.
4。 It can be inferred from the passage that major universities are trying t o tighten their grading standards because they believe ____。
A) rewarding poor performance may kill the creativity of students’ B) pu nishment is more effective than rewarding
C) failing uninspired students helps improve their overall academic stand ards D） discouraging the students anticipation for easy rewards is matter of urgency 5．Which of the following facts about “token economics”is not correct？ A） Students are assigned challenging tasks. B) Rewards are given for good performances。
C） Students are evaluated according to the effort they put into the task.

心理学家认为外界的奖励对学生会有不同的影响。事实辨析题.根据文章第一句话“Psychologists take opposing views of how external re wards， from w arm praise to old cash, affect motivation and creativity”可知，心理学家的分歧在于来自外界的奖励对学生的积极性和创造性究竟有什么影响，故选项D正确.
2。 C
许多教育家对外界的奖励持怀疑态度。
文章第二段第一句话提到,后一种观点得到了许多教育工作者的支持，从第一段中可知，后一种观点是:奖励会促使学生对别人的赞许和馈赠产生依赖心理，因此奖励会破坏创造精神。由此可知，他们对奖励的正面作用持怀疑态度.故选项C正确. 3。 A
根据文中的研究结果表明，教育家通过给予学生应得的奖励来提高他们的积极性和创造性。文章第三段指出，给予学生恰当的奖励，可使他们发挥更大的创造性，但如果对糟糕的表现也给予奖励，或让学生对奖励有太多的期许,反而会扼杀创造性。故选项A正确. 4。 B
从文中可以得知，一些重点大学试图加强等级标准，因为他们相信惩罚比奖励更有效。事实辨析题。从文中第四段可知，许多大学之所以严格考试的评分标准,是因为“A teacher 。。. who hands out high grades for ordinary achievement en ds up with uninspired students”。选项B 与此意相同。 5. C
根据学生的表现对他们作出评价.事实辨析题。根据最后一段的意思，在这种奖励制度下，要根据学生的表现对他们做出评价，而不仅仅是他们花费了多少精力来完成任务，故选项C正确.

Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways。 The simple reason for this is that there are more different w ays of looking at things present in the first kind of society。 There are mo re ideas， more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizat ions with different beliefs. In addition， there is
usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to promote social change by opening more areas of life to decision. In a society where people are quite similar in many ways ， there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same。 And although con ditions may not be satisfactory， they are at least customary and undisput ed。
Within a society， social change is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non—m aterial, for example, in technology rather than in values； in what has bee n learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites; in the simple
elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substanc e; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.
Furthermore， social change is easier if it is gradual。 For example， it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with sharp dichotomies. This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minoriti es, because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts。 1.The passage is mainly discussing __________ 。 a。the necessity of social change
b。certain factors that determine the ease with which social changes occur
c.two different societies
d.certain factors that promote social change
2.______ is one of the factors that tend to promote social change. a.Joi nt interest b。Different points of view c.Less emotional people d。Advanced technology
3。According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
a。Social change tends to meet with more difficulty in basic and emotional a spects of society。 b.Disagreement with and argument about conditions tend to slow down social change. c.Social change is more likely to occ
ur in the material aspect of society.
d。Social change is less likely to occur in what people learned when they we re young。 4.The expression ”greater tolerance"(paragraph 1) refers to _____ 。 a。"greater willingness to accept social change" b.”quicker adaptation to c hanging circumstances" c。”more respect for different beliefs and beha vior"
d。”geeater readiness to agree to different opinions and ideas"
5.Social change is less likely to occur in a society where people are quite similar in many ways because ________ .
a.people there have got so accustomed to their conditions that they seldo m think it necessary to change
b。people there have identical needs that can be satisfied without much diffic ulty c。people there are easy to please d。people there are less disputed 答案：b b b c a

2020大学英语四级阅读理解训练及答案优秀范文三篇2020大学英语四级阅读理解训练及答案（1） Many people believe the glare from snow causes snowblindnenss. Yet, dark glasses or not , they find themselves suffering from headaches and watering eyes,and even snowblindness,when exposed to several hours of snow light . The United States Army has now determined that glare from snow does not cause snowblindness in troops in a snow-covered country.Rather, a man s eyes frequently find nothing to foucs on in a broad expanse of barren snow-covered terrain. So his gaze continually shifts and jumps back and forth over the entire landscape in search of tsomething to look at. Finding nothing, hour after hour, the eyes never sotp searching and the eyeballs become sore and the eye muscles ache. Nature offsets this irritation by producing more and fluid which covers the eyeball. The fluid coversthe eyeball in increasing quantity until vision blurs, then is obsured,and the result is total, even though temporary,snowblindness. Experiments led the Army to a simple method of overcoming this problem. Scouts ahead of a main body of troops are trained to shake snow from evergreen bushes, creating a dotted line as they cross completely snow-covered landscape,Even the scouts themselves throw lightweight , dark colored objects ahead on which they too can focus . The men following can then see something.Their gaze is arrested. Their eyes focus on a bush and having found something to see,stop scouring the snow-blanketed

Much of the blood on the street flows essentially from uncivil behavior of drivers who refuse to respect the legal and moral rights of others. So the massacre on the road may be regarded as a social problem. In fact, the enemies of society on wheels are rather harmless people or ordinary people acting carelessly, you might say. But it is a principle both of law and common morality that carelessness is no excuse when ones actions could bring death or damage to others. A minority of the killers go even beyond carelessness to total negligence. Researchers have estimated that as many as 80 per cent of all

With the present rate of urban growth(3. 8% in the Third World) , the majority of the population of the world will be living in cities by the year 2000. This will transform the rural-urban equation which has marked the history of mankind up to now and will call for new example and a great deal of innovation to face this phenomenon. This being so, one must accept the fact that for some years to come, no policy will be capable of stopping or reversing the present migratory trend from the rural areas to the cities in the Third World. In Africa, the urban population will reach 330 million people by the end of the century as against 150 million in 1995. The number of people living in shanty-towns (贫富窟) will inevitably increase in spite of the efforts to improve housing conditions.

英语四级阅读理解考试题及答案 英语四级阅读理解考试题及答案 英语四级阅读理解考试题及答案篇1 Trees should only be pruned when there is a good and clear reason for doing so and , fortunately,the number of such reasons is small. Pruning involves the cutting away of obergrown and unwanted branches, and the inexperienced gardener can be encouraged by the thought that more damage results from doing it unnecessarily than from leaving the tree to grow in its own way. First, pruning may be done to make sure that trees have a desired shape or size. The object may be to get a tree of the right height, and at the same time to help the growth of small side branches which will thicken its appearance or give it a special shape. Secondly, pruning may be done to make the tree healthier. You may cut diseaed or dead wood, or branches that are rubbing against each other and thus

As Skolnick notes, Americans are a marrying people:relative to Europeans, more of us marry and we marry at a younger age. Moreover, after adecline in the early 1970s, the rate of marriage in the United States is now increasing. Eventhe divorce rate needs to be taken in this pro- marriage context: some0 percent of divorcedindividuals remarry. Thus, marriage remains by far the preferred way of life for the vastmajority of the people in our society. What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family.

英语四级考试阅读训练题 英语四级考试阅读训练题 英语四级考试阅读训练题篇一： Imagine you went to a restaurant with a date; had a burger, paid with a credit card, and left. The next time you go there, the waiter or waitress, armed with your profile data, greets you with, "Hey Joe, how are you? Mary is over there in the seat you sat in last time. Would you like to join her for dinner again?" Then you find out that your burger has been cooked and your drink is on the table. Forget the fact that you are with another date and are on a diet that doesn't include burgers. Sound a little bizarre? T o some, this is restaurant equivalent of the Internet.The Net's ability to profile you through your visits to and interactions at websites provides marketers with an enormous amount of data on you—some of which you may notwant them to have. Are you aware that almost every time you access a website you get a “cookie”? Unfortunately, it’s not the Mrs. Reid’s type. A cookie on the Internet is a computer code sent by the site to your computer—usually without your knowledge. During the entire period of time that you are at the site, the cookie is collecting information about your interaction, including where you visit, how long you stay there, how frequently you return to certain pages, and even your electronic address. Fill out a survey to collect free information or samples, and marketers know even more about you—like your name, address, and any other information you provide. While this may sound scary enough, cookies aren’t even the latest in technology. A new system called I-librarian Alexa—named for the legendary third century B.C. library in Alexandria, Egypt—does even more. While cookies
英语四级阅读理解专练带答案 英语四级阅读理解专练原文 Sleep is very ancient. In the electroencephalographic(脑电图的)sense we share it with all theprimates(灵长类动物)and almost all the other mammals and birds: it may extend back as far asthe reptiles(爬行动物). There is some evidence that the two types of sleep, dreaming and dreamless, depend on thelife style. of the animal, and that predators(食肉动物)are statistically much more likely to dreamthan prey, which are inturn much more likely to experience dreamless sleep. In dream sleep,the animal is powerfully immobilized(使固定不动)and remarkably unresponsive to externalstimuli. Dreamless sleep is much shallower, and we haveall witnessed cats or dogs cocking theirears to a sound when apparently fast asleep. The fact that deep dream sleep is rare amongprey today seems clearly to be a product of natural selection, and it makes sensethat today,when sleep is highly evolved, the stupid animals are less frequently immobilized by deepsleepthan the smart ones. But why should they sleep deeply at all? Why should a state of suchdeep immobilization ever have evolved? Perhaps one useful hint about the original function of sleep is to be found in the fact thatdolphins and whales and aquatic mammals in general seem to sleep very little. There is, byand large, no place to hide in the ocean. Could it be that, rather than increasing an animalsvulnerability,
