18、d creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences, 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 appro

27、art A Directions: Read the following three texts. Answer the questions on each text by choosing A, B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1. 45 Rowena and Billy Wrangler are model high school students. They study hard and do extremely well on achievement tests. And next year, Rowena will be at

28、tending Harvard University. Billy, her younger brother, hopes to go to Cornell. What makes Rowena and Billy different from most students is that they dont go to school. In fact, theyve never been to school. Since kindergarten, theyve studied at home. Neither Rowena nor Billy feels as if theyve misse

29、d out on anything by being taught at home. Like many of more than one million people who receive home schooling in the United States, they feel as if theyve gotten a good education. The home-schooling trend began in the U. S. in the 1980s with parents keeping their children out of public schools so

30、they could provide religious education at home. Today, as the home-schooling trend continues to grow, parents are more likely to consider home schooling as an option because they believe schools dont do a very good job of teaching and are occasionally dangerous places. But can parents really do a be

31、tter job? The answer in many cases is yes. In many studies, students taught at home ranked average or above average when compared to students who went to public schools. More importantly, these students were often more self-directed and have a greater depth of knowledge. “They are very well prepared

32、 for academic challenges,“ says Patricia Riordan, the dean of admissions at George Mason University. One such student, Robert Conrad, now a sophomore at university, claims he really learned how to study and schedule his time during his eight years of home schooling. Still, not every student is as su

33、ccessful as Robert. “For every home-schooling success story, there are an equal number of failures,“ states Henry Lipscomb, an educational researcher. “There are just so many disadvantages that students taught at home have to overcome. “ For example, they have fewer chances to interact with others o

34、f their own age. Consequently, they sometimes lack the usual social skills. “No matter what, though,“ states Lipscomb, “home-schooling is a growing trend. I think well be seeing more and more of this. “ 46 Compared with other students, the most different thing Rowena and Billy do is that_. （ A） they

35、 study hard （ B） they do extremely well on achievement tests （ C） they never go to school （ D） they feel they have gotten a good education 47 At first in the 1980s parents gave home-schooling to children for_. （ A） better education （ B） religious education （ C） safety （ D） all the above 48 According

36、 to the article, what is NOT the advantage of being educated at home? （ A） Home is a safer place for children. （ B） Students taught at home are more self-directed. （ C） Students taught at home have a greater depth of knowledge. （ D） Students taught at home can go to good universities. 49 The writer

37、thinks_. （ A） parents can do a better job than schools （ B） home-schooling will be more and more useful （ C） students taught at home make greater achievements （ D） home-schooling is good in some aspects 50 The best title of this text might be_. （ A） Home-schooling : A Growing Trend （ B） Home-schooli

38、ng : A Better Choice （ C） Home-schooling: A Way to Success （ D） Home-schooling: A New Method of Education 50 A smile is a strong sign of a friendly and open attitude and a willingness to communicate. It is a positive, silent sign sent with the hope the other person will smile back. When you smile, y

39、ou show you have noticed the person in a positive way. The result? That person will usually smile back. You might not realize a closed position is the cause of many conversational problems. A common closed position is sitting with your arms and legs crossed and your hand covering your mouth or chin.

40、 This is often called the “thinking pose“. Ask yourself this question: Are you going to interrupt someone who appears to be deep in thought? This position gives off “stay away“ signs and prevents your main “sign sender“ (your mouth) from being seen by others looking for inviting conversational signs

41、. The open body position is most effective when you place yourself within communicating distance of the other personthat is, within about five feet. Take care, however, not to enter someones “personal space“ by getting too close, too soon. Leaning forward a little while a person is talking shows you

42、r interest and how you are listening to what the person is saying. By doing this, you are saying: I hear what youre saying, and Im interested inkeep talking! Often people will lean back with their hands over their mouth, chin, or behind their head in the “thinking“ pose. This position gives off sign

43、s of judgment, doubt, and lack of interest from the listener. Since most people do not feel comfortable when they think they are being judged, this leaning-back position serves to prevent the speaker from continuing. In many cultures the most common form of first contact between two people is a hand

44、shake. Be the first to extend your hand in greeting. Couple this with a friendly “Hello“, a nice smile, and your name and you have made the first step to open the lines of communication. Eye contact should be natural, not forced or overdone. Direct eye contact shows you are listening to the other pe

45、rson and that you want to know about her. 51 A person smiles to show_. （ A） he is kind and useful （ B） he is happy all the time （ C） he is ready to talk with you （ D） he sees something funny 52 According to the text, troubles in communication may result from_. （ A） a closed body position （ B） an ope

46、n body position （ C） no smile （ D） the main “sign senders“ 53 Leaning back with your hands behind your head in deep thought while a person is talking_. （ A） shows you are interested in and listening to what the speaker is saying （ B） shows you want to keep some distance from the speaker （ C） makes h

47、im think you are thinking about something else （ D） makes him believe you are not interested in his talk 54 All of the following gestures encourage communication except_. （ A） leaning forward a little while a person is talking （ B） crossing your arms （ C） looking in others eyes （ D） extending your h

48、and in greeting 55 From the text we know that_. （ A） communication depends little on verbal language and much on body language （ B） gestures always prevent the “sign sender“ (mouth) （ C） we should pay much attention to body language （ D） eye contact is always helpful 55 Autonomous robots are able to

49、 move and decide by themselves. At a simple level, these can include robot vacuum cleaners that “decide“ what to react to human behaviors without human intervention. The University of the West of Englands David McGoran takes his Heart Robot on a touchy feely tour, allowing it to come face to face with a spider-like robot built by Matt Denton of Micromagic Systems. Both robots are being displayed at th
