14．What motivates（激发） us to take on life's challenges？Is it money，fame，power，or something else？Most businesses operate today on the carrot-and-stick system of rewards（奖赏） and punishments．Employees are rewarded for good performance，and punished for performing badly．This usually works well in situations where workers are performining simple tasks，like cheching products or packing boxes．
However，for jobs that repuire creativity，such as writing or designing，it's a different matter．In actual fact，people in these jobs are not so much motivated by outer factors like cash rewards．They do their job because they like it．They like the challenge of it，they like the mastery of it，they like the creativity that it requires．These factors are generally called inner motivators，which can be further broken down into autonomy，mastery and purpose．
Autonomy refers to self-direction．The greatest things that have happened in all kinds of societies--western，eastern，modern，ancient-have been the result of people being able to do what they wanted to do．People，like these Iranian portesters in July 2009，follow the human nature to resist（抵制） control and direct their own lives．
Mastery is the desire to become better at something that matters．A recent Harvard business school research shows that the biggest motivator at work by far is making porgress．People，making progress one day，are more likely to be motivated to make greater progress the next day．
And finally，purpose，to do what we do in service of something larger than ourselves．It is not necessarily something like reducing-green-house gases from the atmosphere，but can be simply writing a great story that helps people understand world a little bit better or creating something that brings beauty to somebody's life．
Today's business managers，facing the increasingly competitive pressures of a global marketplace，should question their traditional attitudes about what actually motivates us as humans．

15．The strength（长处；优点） of the diet in Wang Peng's restaurant was that it provided plenty of energy-giving food．

On Monday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention predicted that 42% of Americans could be overweight by 2030. Our expanding waistlines lead to not only a medical problem, but according to a recent article in The New York Times, it could also endanger personal situations 一 in an airplane crash, for example.

The New York Times’ Christine Negroni reports that engineers and scientists are questioning whether airplane seats are adequately constructed to protect overweight travelers. Government standards for airplane seat strength (强度）first set more than 60 years ago一 require that the seats be made for a passenger weighing 170 pounds (77kg). Today, the average American man weighs nearly 194 pounds (88 kg) and the average woman 165 pounds (75 kg). Negroni reports:

“If a heavier person completely fills a seat, the seat is not likely to behave as intended during a crash,” said Robert Salzar, the leading scientist at the Center for Applied Biomechanics at the University of Virginia. “The energy absorption that is built into the aircraft seat is likely to be overpowered and the passengers will not be protected properly. "

“Nor would the injury be limited to that passenger only,” Dr. Salzar said “ If a seat or a seat belt fails,” he said, “those people who are seated nearby could be endangered by ‘ the uncontrolled movements of the passenger’.”

Most complaints about airplane seats focus on their lack of comfort and high ticket price and whether overweight passengers should be made to buy two seats. But The New York Times’ article brings up another reason to feel anxious about flying. Investigators of the issue got in touch with the airplane seat and seat belt makers, but they refused to comment on the problem. Experts agreed that crash testing should be done with overweight dummies (人体模型). Both airplane seats and seat belts should be tested, they said.

Fortunately, however, according to Nora Marshall, a senior adviser at the National Transportation Safety Board, the board’s investigators have never seen an accident involving a commercial plane in which the weight of a passenger is a problem.

2.Robert Salzar would probably agree that ______ .

3.We can learn from the text that ______ .

A. airplane seat makers have taken action now

B. there are few complaints about airplane seats

C. those seated near the overweight may suffer too

D. only a small number of airplane accidents involve the overweight

4.What is the best title for the text?

A. Why do passengers feel anxious about flying?

B. Will 42% of Americans be overweight by 2030?

C. When will the overweight enjoy their flight?
