32、rs, especially among educators. But the careful use of small monetary rewards sparks in grade-school children suggesting that properly presented inducements indeed aid inventiveness, according to a study in the June Journal Personality and Social Psychology. “If they know they're working for a r

33、eward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity,” says Robert Esenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. “But it's easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much anticipation for rewards.” A teacher who continually

34、 draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grades for ordinary achievement ends up with uninspired students, Esenberger holds. As an example of the latter point, he notes growing efforts at major universities to tighten grading standards and restore falling grades. In earlier grades, the use

35、of so-called token economics, 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.28. Psychologists are divided with regard to their attitudes toward _. A. the

39、ities are trying to tighten their grading standards because they believe _. A. rewarding poor performance may kill the creativity of students B. punishment is more effective than rewarding C. failing uninspired students helps improve their overall academic standards D. discouraging the students

40、 anticipation for easy rewards is matter of urgencyD When a consumer finds that an item she or he bought is faulty or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer's claims, the first step is to present the warranty, or any other records which might help, at the store of purchase. In mo

41、st cases, this action will produce results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may use to gain satsatisfaction. A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the “higher up” his or her complaint, the faster

42、 he or she can expect it to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer's favor, assuming he or she has a just claim. Consumers should complain in person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, it is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in

43、a letter. Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can demonstrate what is wrong with the item in question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific information as to what is wrong, rather than by

44、 making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is better than “This stereo does not work”. The store manager may advice the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do this, stating the co

45、mplaint as politely and firmly as possible. If a polite complaint does not achieve the desired result, the consumer can go to a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumer's rights.3

Make polite and general statements about the problem. D. Avoid having direct contact with the store manager.34.According to

Write a complaint letter to the manager. D. Turn to the Consumers Rights Protection Organization for help.35.The phrase

49、 “live up to” in this context means _. A. meet the standard of  B. realize the purpose of  C. fulfill the demands of D. keep the promise of第二节 （共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Why do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume ri
