But in the rare circumstances when theyve not prepared with gift-giving in return, they can be 41_ with feelings of guilt.
32、Receiving a gift, Jacques Derrida, a French thinker, thought, could make one feel like a 42 trapped in a cycle of economic exchange.

The college took that step, Virginias Attorney(司法局)said last week, after the U. S. Education Departments Of

The civil-rights office got involved when a white student at Northern Virginia complained in June 1996 that he had been ille

Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit (联邦上诉法院第四管辖区),in a case involving a blacks-only scholarship at the Unive
44、rsity of Maryland at College Park. In a letter to the department last month, the state Attorney Generas Office said the college would alter its five scholarship programs that have been limited to students of certain races. All of the programs were financed by private donors or groups. After careful

The sponsors of the fifth program said t
47、hey would transfer the funds to a private, non-profit group that would continue to administer the scholarship to minority students only, the college said. Officials of many colleges have watched the Northern Virginia case because they believed that it might throw new light on how the Education Depar

But in th
66、e late 60s,at the Stanford Research Institute, Engelbart invented almost everything your personal computer has today: a mouse, hypertext, screen sharing and more. In 1968 he made real-time edits to documents nearly 40 years before Google Docs hit screens; video chatted with friends long before Skype

If hed been British,Engelbart would have beenknighted(授爵),but the Portland, Oregon, native instead lived out the rest of his years as an unsung hero, trying to fry even bigger fish in Silicon Valley. His blueprint of the Internet was ra
69、dically different from todays profit- driven, streamlined version. Engelbart imagined an information system built on the backbones of cooperation and education, all meant to enhance the collective human mind. He wanted a computerized network of real-time, human-wide cooperation, with the open-source

By the late 70s and early 80s,Engelbart and his ideas were cast aside in favor of Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows, along with their profit-generating vision for personal computing, and a user-friendly approach to the Internet. Engelba

73、n Engelbart tirelessly pushed for will one day become part of our fast-evolving Internet, even if a commercial layer clouds the original vision. But even so,fame is difficult to achieve; it often ridicules great thinkers like Galileo or Tesla, only to meet them decades after death. Granted, Engelbar

80、t may also produce worse soldiers.D.Surely two motives are better than one.E.Discovering facts is inseparably related to the activity of research.F.Often, people have both internal and instrumental motives for doing what they do. There are two kinds of motive for engaging in any activity: internal a
81、nd instrumental. If a scientist conducts research because he wants to discover important facts about the world, internal motive. If he conducts research because he wants to achieve scholarly fame, thats an instrumental motive. 67_. What mix of motives internal or instrumental or both is most favorab
82、le to success? You might suppose that a scientist motivated by a desire to discover facts and by a desire to achieve fame will do better work than a scientist motivated by just one of those desires.68_But as we and our colleagues argue in a paper, instrumental motives are not always useful and can a
83、ctually be counterproductive to success. 69._Helping people focus on the meaning and impact of their work, rather than on, say, the financial returns it will bring, may be the best way to improve not only the quality of their work but also their financial success.There is a temptation among educator
84、s and instructors to use whatever motivational tools are available to recruit(招募)participants or improve performance. If the desire for military excellence and service to country fails to attract all the recruits that the Army needs, then perhaps appeals to “money for college,” “career training” or
85、“seeing the world” will do the job. 70._Similarly,for students uninterested in learning,financial incentives(奖励)for good attendance or pizza parties for high performance may motivate them to participate, but it may result in less well-educated students.Summary WritingDirections: Read the following p
