With the increase in the number of such advertisements, however, each advertiser within a certain group is competing with others in the same group for the readers attention Psychologists take opposing views of how external rewards, from warm praise to old cash, affect motivation and creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and, argue that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Some other researchers who study various aspects of mental life, maintain those 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 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 reward 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 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 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.
1. Psychologists are divided with regard to their attitudes toward ____.
A) the choice between spiritual encouragement and monetary rewards
B) the appropriate amount of external rewards
C) the study of relationship 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 think external rewards.
C) They have doubts about external rewards.
D) They believe external rewards can motivate small children, but not college students.
3. According to the result of the study mentioned in the passage, 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 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 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.
D) With token economics, students creativity can be enhanced.

阅读理解&&&&& Homebuyers nationwide are watching housing prices going up, up, and up."How high can they go?" is the question on everyone's lips."As long as interest rates stay around 5 percent, nothing might be able to prevent housing prices going up, " said one house seller in Santa Monica, California.&&&& "It's crazy, " said Tim, who is looking for a house near the beach."In 1993, I bought my first place, a twobedroom flat in Venice, for $70,000.My friends thought then that I was overpaying.Five years later, I had to move.I sold it for $230,000, which was a nice profit.Last year, while visiting friends here, I saw in the local paper that the exact same flat was for sale for $510,000!"&&&& It is a seller's market.Homebuyers feel like they have to offer at least 10 percent more than the asking price.Donna, a new owner of a onebedroom flat on Venice Beach, said, "That's what I did.I told the owner that whatever anyone offers you, I'll give you $20,000 more under the table, so you don't have to pay your house seller any of it.I was tired of negotiating with the house sellers."&&&& Tim says he hopes he doesn't get that desperate."Whether you decide to buy or not, you still feel like you made the wrong decision.If you buy, you feel like you overpaid.If you don't buy, you want to kick yourself for passing up a great opportunity."&&&& Everyone says the bubble (气泡) has to burst sometime, but everyone hopes it will burst the day after they sell their house.Even government officials have no idea what the future will bring."All we can say is that, clearly, these things go in regular cycles, " said the state director of housing."What goes up must come down.But, as we all know, housing prices always stay up a little higher than they go down (被接受). So you can't lose over the long run.Twenty years down the road, your house is always worth more than you paid for it."1.

What gave you the idea to start the studios in the first place?&&&& Born in New York in 1976, Wang grew up in the United States. Blessed with a mix of brains and talent, he spent his youth performing in local musicals. While in university, Wang landed a recording contract in Taiwan. His breakthrough album firmly established him as a rising star in the Asian music scene. In addition to writing and producing his own music, Wang has also taken part in movie projects around Asia.

It combines Chinese elements and sounds. I started it off in my last album called Shangrila. And this album combines the music of ethnic minorities, in China, in Tibet, and in Mongolia. It's beautiful and original to Chinese culture. And this new album called Heroes of Earth combines Opera and Quen-chu, which are thousand-year-old traditions also unique to Chinese culture. Very unique instruments, costumes, singing styles. I don't think anyone has ever done this before in the hip hop world. 2. ______________ &&&& WL: Um, just the large quantity of work that I have to come up with.

It was like…I didn't know I could make this happen. I didn't know I could get this kind of recognition. So back then, it was huge increase of confidence.

You know, I feel lucky that I can go back to New York and not be recognized and not be followed. At times it can be really, really annoying. Today many people own a cell phone that has a camera on it…and a blog.

He is well known.This appeared in the newspaper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors, and his own was among them.
