Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions an
41、d their consequences, argue that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Cognitive(认识派的 )researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, maintain that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others. The latter view has gained many supp
42、orters, especially among educators. But the careful use of small monetary(金钱的 )rewards sparks creativity in grade-school children, suggesting that properly presented inducements(刺激 )indeed aid inventiveness, according to a study in the June Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. “If kids know
43、 theyre working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity,“ says Robert Eisenhower of the University of Delaware in Newark. “But its easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance of or creating too much anticipation for rewards. “ A t
44、eacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grades for ordinary achievement ends up with uninspired students, Eisenhower holds. As an example of the latter point, he notes growing efforts at major universities to tighten grading standards and restore failing grades. In ea
45、rlier grades, the use of so-called taken economies, 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. 63 Psychologists are divided with regard to their attitudes
46、toward _ . （ A） the choice between spiritual encouragement and monetary rewards （ B） the amount of monetary rewards for students creativity （ C） the study of relationship between actions and their consequences （ D） the effects of external rewards on students performance 64 What is the response of ma

48、tasks they have not dealt with before. （ B） Assigning them tasks which require inventiveness. （ C） Giving them rewards they really deserve. （ D） Giving them rewards they anticipate. 66 It can be inferred from the passage that major universities are trying to tighten their grading standards because t
49、hey 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 a matter of urgency 67 Packaging is an important form of advertising.
