Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and th
31、eir con sequences, argue that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Cognitive 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, es
32、pecially among educators. But the careful use of small monetary rewards sparks creativity in grade-school children, suggesting that properly presented inducements indeed aid inventiveness, according to a study in the June Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.“If kids know theyre working for
33、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 or creating too much anticipation for rewards.“A teacher who continually d
34、raws 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
35、 so-called token 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.（分数：4.00）(1).Psychologists are divided with regard to their attitudes toward _.

36、e choice between spiritual encouragement and monetary rewards B. the amount of monetary rewards for student creativity C. the study of relationship between actions and their consequences D. the effects of external rewards on students performance（分数：0.80）A.B.C.D.(2).What is the response of many educa
37、tors to external rewards for their students? A. They have no doubts about them. B. They have doubts about them. C. They approve of them. D. They avoid talking about them.（分数：0.80）A.B.C.D.(3).Which of the following can best raise students creativity according to Robert Eisenberger? A. Assigning them
38、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.（分数：0.80）A.B.C.D.(4).It can be inferred from the passage that major universities are trying to tighten their grading standard
39、s 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 anticipation for easy rewards is a matter of urgency（分

41、rst person to see the importance of the division of labor and to explain part of its advantages. He gives as an example the process by which pins were made in England.“One man draws out the wire, another strengthens it, a third cuts it, a fourth points it, a fifth grinds it at the top to prepare it
42、to receive the head. To make the head requires two or three distinct operations. To put it on is a separate operation, to polish the pins is another. And the important business of making pins is, in this manner, divided into about eighteen distinct operations, which in some factories are all perform
43、ed by different people, though in others the same man will sometimes perform two or three of them.“Ten men, Smith said, in this way, turned out twelve pounds of pins a day or about 4 800 pins a piece. But if all of them had worked separately and independently without division of labor, they certainl
44、y could not turn out any pin, each of them have made twenty pins in a day and perhaps not even one.There can be no doubt that division of labor is an efficient way of organizing work. Fewer people can make more pins. Adam Smith saw this but he also took it for granted that division of labor is in it
45、self responsible for economic growth and development and that it accounts for the difference between expanding economies and those that stand still. But division of labor adds nothing new; it only enables people to produce, more of what they already have.（分数：10.00）(1).According to the passage, Adam
46、Smith was the first person to_.

A. enabled eac
47、h worker to make pins more quickly and more cheaply B. increased the number of people employed in factories C. increased the possible output per worker D. improved the quality of pins produced（分数：2.00）A.B.C.D.(3).Adam Smith mentioned the number 4 800 in order to _. A. show the advantages of the division of labor
