Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences, argue that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Cognitive（认知学派的）researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, maintain that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others.The latter view has gained many supporters, especially among educators. But the careful use of small monetary（金钱的）rewards sparks creativity in grade-school children, suggesting that properly presented inducements（刺激）indeed aid inventiveness, according to a study in the June Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.“If kids know theyre working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity,” says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. “But its easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance of creating too much anticipation for rewards.” A teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grades for ordinary achievement ends up with uninspired students, Eisenberger holds. As an example of the latter point, he notes growing efforts at major universities to tighten grading standards and restore failing grades.In earlier grades, the use of so called token（象征）economies, in which students handle challenging problems and receive performance-based points toward valued rewards, shows promise in raising effort and creativity, the Delaware psychologist claims.41. Psychologists are divided with regard to their attitudes toward _.A. the choice between spiritual encouragement and monetary rewardsB. the amount of monetary rewards for students creativityC. the study of relationship between actions and their consequencesD. the effects of external rewards on students performance42. What is the response of many educators to external rewards for their children?A. They have no doubts about them.B. They have doubts about them.C. They approve them.D. They avoid talking about them.43. Which of the following can best raise students creativity according to Robert Eisenberger?A. Assigning them tasks they have not dealt with before.B. Assigning them tasks which require inventiveness.C. Giving them rewards they really deserve.D. Giving them rewards they anticipate.44. It can be inferred from the passage that major universities are trying to tighten their grading standards because they believe _.A. rewarding poor performance may kill the creativity of studentsB. punishment is more effective than rewardingC. failing uninspired students help improve their overall academic standardsD. discouraging the students anticipation for easy rewards is a matter of urgencyBIt is over 40 years since first atomic bomb was dropped on a major city in Japan. Yet even now its effects are showing themselves and may continue to do so for years to come. Much effort and human energy have been used to try to prevent such a terrifying thing from happening again. So far there is no guarantee that it will not. Countries which already possess nuclear knowledge and resources have bombs stored away which are powerful enough to wipe out all life on earth. But this is not all. Other countries, which previously were not so advanced in technology, are gradually buying materials that can be used for making atomic devices. This nuclear energy will naturally be of great value in helping the economy of poorer nations.The generation of electricity through nuclear power came directly from the original work on the atom bomb. Because of the increase in demand for energy and the possibility of decreasing supplies of oil and natural gas, the interest of electricity has increased. One of the by-products of nuclear power stations is plutonium（钸）produced from nuclear fuel: plutonium isIngredient（成分）in bomb-making. It means that there are far more opportunities for the manufacture of bombs.This brings the problem to a full circle again. How can something so valuable and useful be controlled so that it works for the benefit and not the destruction of man?45. The effects of dropping the first atomic bomb _.A. are not over B. may go on foreverC. could last much longer D. will not be over in the near future46. The writer says that enough atomic bombs have already been manufactured to _.A. wipe out Japan B. last foreverC. act as a peace-keeping device D. destroy all living things47. The advantage of less developed countries being able to make atomic devices is that it _.A. gives them more opportunities for work B. will help poor countries to become richerC. will enable them to make better explosives D. will be of great value to them48. The 2nd paragraph tells us that the increasing demand for electricity today _.A. has led to the decrease in supplies of oilB. means that more countries are interested in nuclear powerC. has increased the risk of accidental explosionsD. has increased the very means of producing more atomic bombsCAd. 1April Fools partyOn Friday, April 1, Inner Affair goes back to the days of funk!

You probably know all about the food and have tried many different dishes. But do you really know how to behave properly at such an important meal? If a foreign friend was visiting, could you explain Chinese table manners? Dont worry if you are not sure, here are some tips.The main difference between Chinese and Western eating habits is that unlike the West, where everyone has their own plate of food, in China the dishes are placed on the table and everybody shares. It is always polite to let guests or elder people at the table taste every dish first.Although there are no strict rules on how to set chopsticks and spoons, there are some things you should never do during a Chinese banquet.Firstly, and most importantly, dont put your chopsticks upright in the rice bowl. Instead, lay them on your dish. The reason for this is that when people die, family members give them a bowl of rice with a pair of chopsticks sticking out. So if you stick your chopsticks in the rice bowl, it looks like you want someone at the table to die.Make sure the spout of the teapot is not facing anyone as this is impolite. The spout should always be directed to where nobody is sitting, usually just outward from the table.Dont tap on your bowl with your chopsticks. Beggars tap on their bowls, so this is not polite, especially when you eat in your friends home.Although teenagers are not supposed to drink any alcohol, you can still say “Ganbei” and toast the longevity and health of your grandparents and parents. This is sure to please them.53. It can be inferred that the text is written for _.A. foreigners B. Chinese C. your guests D. children54. We can learn _ from the text.A. Guests have their own plate of food.B. Guests cant share all the dishes on the table.C. Guests and elder people at the table taste every dish first.D. Teenagers drink wine to propose a toast to the health of the elderly.55. What is to be most avoided at Chinese table manners is _.A. tapping on your bowl with chopsticksB. leaving chopsticks sticking out upright in the rice bowlC. making the spout of the teapot direct to a personD. speaking with the mouth full of food56. Which of the following can best sum up the passage?A. Differences between Chinese and Western eating habits.B. Rules of Spring Festival banquet.C. Foreign guests impression on Chinese dinner.D. Help foreign guests at a Chinese banquet.EViolence in American families takes many forms. One ordinary form that we often overlook is the physical punishment of children. Perhaps 93 percent of all parents beat their children in order to discipline them. Young children receive the most punishment, but studies show that about 50 percent of high school seniors report experiencing or being threatened with physical punishment. But historically we have granted parents the right to use physical force against their children. A law passed in 1696, for example, called for the beat punishment for a child over the age of sixteen who cursed（诅咒）or struck a parent or who was “rebellious” in refusing to obey a parent. From interviews with 2,143 married couples, sociologists estimate that parents kick, punch, or bite some 1.7 million children a year.Physical punishment of children that results in injuries requiring medical treatment is now generally considered to be abusive（虐待的）. Most people do not realize, however, that it is the regular use of “ordinary” physical punishment, and the cultural approval it enjoys, that lays the groundwork for child abuse. In most accidents of child abuse, the caretakers are normally considered exercising their rights of disciplining a child whose behavior they find i
