A new study by three Harvard researchers suggests a novel answer: Shortly after you hire new workers, give them a raise
26、.Previous research has shown that paying people more than they expect may elicit reciprocity(相互作用) in the form of greater productivity, notes Deepak Malhotra, a Harvard business-administration professor who worked on the study. What he and his colleagues found, however, was that the connection betwe
27、en more pay and extra effort depends on presenting the increase as a giftthat is, as something youve chosen to do purely as a nice gesture, with no strings attached.Malhotra and his team studied 267 people hired by Desk, a global online network of freelancers, to do a one-time data-entry project for
28、 four hours. All of the new hires were people in developing countries, for whom hourly wages of $3 and $4 were higher than what they had been making in previous jobs. The researchers split the group up into three equal parts. One group was told they would earn $3 an hour. A second group was initiall
29、y hired at $3 an hour but, before they started working, they got a surprise: The budget for the project had expanded unexpectedly, they were told, and they would now be paid $4 an hour. The third group was offered $4 an hour from the start and given no increase. Even though the second and third grou
30、ps were eventually paid the same amount, the second group worked harder and produced moreabout 20% morethan either of the other two. People in the second group also showed the most stamina, maintaining their focus all the way through the assigned task and performing especially well toward the end of
31、 the four hours. Interestingly, the more experienced employees in the high-performing group were the most productive of all, apparently because their previous work experience led them to appreciate the rarity of an unexpected raise. Contrary to conventional wisdom, Malhotra points out that higher pa
32、y, in and of itself, didnt promote productivity: People who made $4 an hour from the beginning worked no harder than those who were hired at $3 and were then paid $3. To get the most impact from their pay plans, he adds, companies might consider not only what to pay new hires, but when to pay it.The
33、 key thing is how you present the reason for an increase, he says. Doling out extra money could promote productivity most if you make it clear that the pay raise is something youre choosing to do just because you can. Our theory is that people will reciprocate. If you do something nice, theyll do so
34、mething nice back. 59Which of the following is true about the research?A. None of the participants earned more than $4 an hour in previous jobs. B. 89 of the participants got a $1 wage raise for their high productivity.C. It was so important that the budget for it was increased in the process.D. Sta
35、mina shown in it was positively related to the amount of money paid.60. What does the underlined word “stamina” most probably mean?A. The quality of being intelligent or clever.B. The quality of doing something difficult or dangerous.C. The physical or mental energy needed to do a tiring activity fo
36、r a long time. D. A particular method of doing an activity, usually involving practical skills.61. Why did the second group produce more than the other two groups? A. Because they thought they were better paid than the other groups. B. Because they were experienced employees from developing countrie
37、s. C. Because an unexpected raise reminded them of their previous work. D. Because they felt they were nicely treated and tried best to repay it.62. What can we infer from this passage?A. No pains, no gains. B. It matters not what we give but how.C. Honesty is the best policy. D. Actions speak loude
38、r than words. CRecently, an almost literal case of lifeboat ethics occurred. On Aug. 4, Graham and Sheryl Anley, while boating off the coast of South Africa, hit a rock. As the boat threatened to sink the husband got off, but his wife was trapped in the boat. Instead of freeing his wife and getting
39、her to shore, Graham grabbed Rosie, their pet dog. With Rosie safe and sound, Graham returned for Sheryl. All are doing fine.Its a great story, but it doesnt strike me as especially newsworthy. News is supposed to be about something fairly unique, and recent research suggests that, in the right circ
40、umstances, lots of people also would have grabbed their Rosie first.We have strange relationships with our pets. We lavish our pets with adoration and better health care than billions of people receive. We speak to pets with the same high-pitched voices that we use for babies. As an extreme example
41、of our feelings about pets, the Nazis had strict laws that guaranteed the humane treatment of the pets of Jews being shipped to death camps.A recent paper by George Regents University demonstrates this human involvement with pets to an astonishing extent. Participants in the study were told a situat
42、ion in which a bus is out of control, bearing down on a dog and a human. Which do you save? With responses from more than 500 people, the answer was that it depended: What kind of human and what kind of dog?Everyone would save a brother, grandparent or close friend rather than a strange dog. But whe
43、n people considered their own dog versus people less connected with thema distant cousin or a hometown strangervotes in favor of saving the dog came rolling in. And an astonishing 40% of respondents, including 46% of women, voted to save their dog over a foreign tourist. What does a finding like thi
44、s mean? First, that your odds arent so good if you find yourself in another country with a bus bearing down on you and a cute dog. But it also points to something deeper: our unprecedented attitude toward animals, which got its start with the birth of humane societies in the 19th century.We prison p
45、eople who abuse animals, put ourselves in harms way in boats between whales and whalers and show sympathy to Bambi and his mother. We can extend empathy to an animal and feel its pain like no other species. But lets not be too proud of ourselves. As this study and too much of our history show, were
46、pretty selective about how we extend our humaneness to other human beings.63. What is the function of the first paragraph?A. To create a relaxing mood for readers.B. To present the theme of this essay straightly. C. To lead in the main topic of this essay.D. To raise problems that will be solved lat
47、er.64. The author mentions Nazi laws in the third paragraph _. A. to show how cruel the Nazis were to the JewsB. as an example to persuade people not to love petsC. to illustrate the strange relationship between human and petsD. as an example to display the humaneness of the Nazis 65.Which of the fo
48、llowing is true according to the article?A. The story of the Anleys and their dog was too unique to be newsworthy. B. Most people surveyed choose to save their own dog rather than a human.C. It was in the 19th century that human beings started to love their pets.D. Human beings are more and more con
49、cerned with animals nowadays.66. What does the author mainly argue for?A. Pets are of great significance to us human beings.B. We should rethink about our attitude towards animals and mankind.C. It is kind of human beings to extend humaneness to animals.D. We should be selective when showing attitud
50、e toward other human beings.DNow, I want to start with a question: When was the last time you were called childish? For kids like me, being called childish can be a frequent occurrence. Every time we make irrational demands, exhibit irresponsible behavior, or display any other signs of being normal
51、American citizens, we are called childish. _A_. After all, take a look at these events: imperialism and colonization, world wars, George W. Bush. Ask yourself: Whos responsible? Adults.Now, what have kids done? _B_. Well, Anne Frank touched millions with her powerful account of the Holocaust (大屠杀),
52、Ruby Bridges helped end segregation in the United States, and, most recently, Charlie Simpson helped to raise 120,000 pounds for Haiti on his little bike. So, as you can see evidenced by such examples, age has absolutely nothing to do with it. We are called childish so often by adults that we should
53、 abolish this age-discrimination when it comes to criticizing behavior associated with irresponsibility and irrational thinking.Then again, whos to say that certain types of irrational thinking arent exactly what the world needs? Maybe youve had grand plans before, but stopped yourself, thinking: Th
54、ats impossible or that costs too much or that wont benefit me. For better or worse, we kids arent hampered as much when it comes to thinking about reasons why not to do things. _C_. Kids can be full of inspiring aspirations and hopeful thinking, like my wish that no one went hungry or that everythin
55、g were free kind of utopia(乌托邦). How many of you still dream like that and believe in the possibilities? Sometimes a knowledge of history and the past failures of utopian ideals can be a burden. On the other hand, we kids still dream about perfection. _D_. And thats a good thing because in order to
56、make anything a reality, you have to dream about it first.Now, our inborn wisdom doesnt have to be insiders knowledge. Kids already do a lot of learning from adults, and we have a lot to share. I think that adults should start learning from kids. Now, I do most of my speaking in front of an educatio
57、n crowd, teachers and students, and I like this analogy. It shouldnt just be a teacher at the head of the classroom telling students to do this, do that. The students should teach their teachers. Learning between grown ups and kids should be reciprocal. The reality, unfortunately, is a little differ
58、ent, and it has a lot to do with trust, or a lack of it. Now, if you dont trust someone, you place restrictions on them, right. If I doubt my older sisters ability to pay back the 10 percent interest I established on her last loan, Im going to withhold her ability to get more money from me until she
59、 pays it back. True story, by the way. Now, adults seem to have a prevalently restrictive attitude towards kids from every dont do that, dont do this in the school handbook, to restrictions on school internet use. Kids have no, or very little, say in making the rules, when really the attitude should
60、 be reciprocal(相互的), meaning that the adult population should learn and take into account the wishes of the younger population.Adults, you need to listen and learn from kids. The world needs opportunities for new leaders and new ideas. Kids need opportunities to lead and succeed. Are you ready to ma
61、ke the match? 67. Where should the sentence “This really bothers me.” be put in the passage? A. In blank A.B. In blank B. C. In blank C. D. In blank D. 68. What does the speaker think is the root cause why adults call kids childish?A. That kids like being called that way.B. That adults are more irre
62、sponsible than kids. C. That kids often make irrational demands. D. That adults are driven by age-discrimination against kids.69. Which of the following least explains kids advantage over adults based on the speaker?A. Younger age. B. Irrational thinking.C. Knowledge of history. D. Excess restrictio
63、ns. 70. What is the best title of this passage?A. Dont Be Childish again, Adults!B. Time to Listen and Learn from Us!C. Dont Do That, Dont Do This!D. We Are Not Young Any More!II卷（共35分）第四部分 任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，共 10分）请认真阅读下列短文并根据所读的内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格填写一个单词。请将答案写在答题纸上相应的题号的横线上。Many animal l

85、any believe the current evaluation procedures hinder students comprehensive abilities and therefore argue for a reform. Personally, I am against this point of view. There are numerous reasons why I think so, but today I would only explore some of them. Firstly, I dont think our comprehensive abiliti
86、es are hindered. To my knowledge, many of my classmates are good at all the four skills of English. Moreover, the current testing system is nothing but the fairest way for students to get selected for college study. Admittedly, there is pressure nowadays. But who can guarantee a new testing method will spare us from pressure? As to the development of comprehensive language abilities, I believe the only solution is we students practice more, either listening and reading or speaking and writing. Only in this way can we learn English in an effective way. Thats all. I appreciate your attention.
