The authors, educational psychologists Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar, divided their college student subjects into three groups, instru
27、cting the members of one to think of themselves as romantic poets and the members of another to imagine they were serious librarians (the third group was the control). The researchers then presented all the participants with ten ordinary objects, including a fork, a carrot, and a pair of pants, and
28、asked them to come up with as many different uses as possible for each one. Those who were asked to imagine themselves as romantic poets came up with the widest range of ideas, whereas those in the serious-librarian group had the fewest.

There is no doubt that we are either creative or not.DThe new year is the moment when people vow to improve their fitness. They join gyms, swear off alcohol and adopt healthier diets. These
34、resolutions usually do not last beyond January.But some employers try to help their workers stick to their goals by offering “wellness” programmes. One of the longest-running examples began in 1979 at Johnson& Johnson (j & j), an American health-care company. The plan promotes weight loss, smoking q
35、uitting and efforts to reduce blood pressure. The firm claims it reduced medical costs by $400 an employee per year, and resulted in fewer workers suffering from heart disease or high blood pressure.Yet an examination of the data by Martin Cherniack of the University of Connecticut found that in 200
36、5-08, a sharp jump in alcohol use, depression and stress among j & j employees occurred. This was in line with a period when the firm had a target of lifting productivity by 9% a year. So the employees may have been fitter, but it is possible that workplace pressure to produce more meant greater str

The biggest productivity problems were associated with lack of sleep, financial concerns and mental-health issues-factors that may well be directly linked to work-related stress.It seems reasonable for compan
39、ies to expect some level of economic return from any wellness programme that they provide. But the trade-off should not be too blatant. Making employees fitter so you can work them a lot harder seems rather like drilling your infantry on a course before sending them to face the machine guns. A bette

Im just not a creative person!” a frustrated student might say in art class, while another might blame her talent at painting for her difficulties in math, giving a comment such as, “Im very right-brained.Dr. Pillay. a tech entrepreneur and an assistant professor at Harvard University, has be
93、en challenging these ideas. He believes that the key to unlocking your creative potential is to ignore the traditional advice that urges you to “believe in yourself.” In fact, you should do the opposite: Believe you are someone else.Dr. Pillay points to a 2016 study demonstrating the impact of stere
94、otypes on ones behavior. The authors, educational psychologists Denis Dumas and Kevin Dunbar, divided their college student subjects into three groups, instructing the members of one to think of themselves as romantic poets and the members of another to imagine they were serious librarians (the thir
95、d group was the control). The researchers then presented all the participants with ten ordinary objects, including a fork, a carrot, and a pair of pants, and asked them to come up with as many different uses as possible for each one. Those who were asked to imagine themselves as romantic poets came
96、up with the widest range of ideas, whereas those in the serious-librarian group had the fewest. Meanwhile, the researchers found only small differences in students creativity levels across academic majors.These results suggest that creativity is not a fixed individual characteristic but a malleable
97、product of context and perspective, as long as he or she feels like a creative person. Dr. Pillay argues that, besides identifying yourself as creative, taking the bold, creative step of imagining you are somebody else is even more powerful. So, wish you were more creative? Just pretend!8. Who is mo

101、ther creative or not.【答案】8. A 9. C 10. B 11. ADThe new year is the moment when people vow to improve their fitness. They join gyms, swear off alcohol and adopt healthier diets. These resolutions usually do not last beyond January.But some employers try to help their workers stick to their goals by o
102、ffering “wellness” programmes. One of the longest-running examples began in 1979 at Johnson& Johnson (j & j), an American health-care company. The plan promotes weight loss, smoking quitting and efforts to reduce blood pressure. The firm claims it reduced medical costs by $400 an employee per year,
103、and resulted in fewer workers suffering from heart disease or high blood pressure.Yet an examination of the data by Martin Cherniack of the University of Connecticut found that in 2005-08, a sharp jump in alcohol use, depression and stress among j & j employees occurred. This was in line with a peri
104、od when the firm had a target of lifting productivity by 9% a year. So the employees may have been fitter, but it is possible that workplace pressure to produce more meant greater stress.All this suggests that employee well-being is a rather more complex topic than can be tackled by a programme devo
105、ted to exercise and healthy living. A study by Rand Europe, a research institute, found that obvious bad habits such as smoking and high alcohol use were in fact not associated with lower productive, while obese workers were no more likely to take time off than anyone else. The biggest productivity
106、problems were associated with lack of sleep, financial concerns and mental-health issues-factors that may well be directly linked to work-related stress.It seems reasonable for companies to expect some level of economic return from any wellness programme that they provide. But the trade-off should n
107、ot be too blatant. Making employees fitter so you can work them a lot harder seems rather like drilling your infantry on a course before sending them to face the machine guns. A better impact on morale (and thus productivity) might occur if workers felt that their managers had a genuine interest in
108、their welfare.12. What can we learn from the example of Johnson & Johnson?A. A wellness program contributes to higher productivity.B. A wellness program alone cant achieve the desired effect.C. Many companies show much concern about their employees health.D. A health program may result in bad conseq
