7.Reward methods are an everyday occurrence in our classrooms.More than ever,a great number of incentive(激励) programs have been created to help teachers manage behavior,and motivate learners.However,there is evidence that in the long run,reward systems don't work.
Many people believe that rewards can help students develop a reason to do better.However,this approach fails to address why children are unable to be successful in the first place.When a student who dislikes math frequently behaves badly in class,a simple and easy way to deal with the behavior might be to offer him a reward for not misbehaving.Yet this would do nothing to solve his real problem-which is his attitude towards math.
On the other hand,rewards can't last forever.So what happens when they stop?Many experiments suggest once the rewards stop,people go back to behaving as they did before.
Some people might counter that.It may be true that students won't spontaneously(自发地) work once we stop rewarding them,but at least they will have worked more than they otherwise would have!Unfortunately,there is another more surprising consequence of rewards that we need to consider:Rather than create motivation,they can actually decrease motivation.
In a classic study,some kinder garteners who enjoyed drawing with markers were observed in a classroom with different activities available.They were broken into two groups.Everyone in the first group was told that he or she could win an attractive certificate by drawing a picture with markers.Each was eager to get the certificate and drew a picture.Children in the second group were also encouraged to draw but didn't get a certificate.After a delay of about two weeks,when the markers again appeared in the classroom but no certificate was promised,the children in the first group used the markers about half as much as children in the second group.Apparently,rewards actually made them enjoy drawing less.
What we really want is for students to take responsibility for their own learning.When much of the focus is on performance outcome,it can stop the development of self-motivation.The‘self-determination theory'claims all human beings will succeed when our basic,inborn,and emotional needs are met.By providing appropriate support and opportunities,we can help to meet the needs of all students and therefore increase their motivation.

   A.students should be responsible for their learning
B.incentive programs help to solve real problems

分析 短文主要指出现实生活中经常使用的奖励机制对于孩子的行为在长久看来是没有作用的,通过实验表明了奖励机制存在的问题.

解答 63.D,推理判断题,根据句子However,this approach fails to address why children are unable to be successful in the first place可知,作者认为奖励机制不能说明为什么孩子不能成功,可见作者认为奖励机制对于学生来说是没有作用的,故答案为D.
64.B,词义猜测题,根据后一句It may be true that students won't spontaneously(自发地) work once we stop rewarding them,but at least they will have worked more than they otherwise would have!,虽然停止奖励后学生不会自发地做出正确的事,但至少比起他们没有奖励的时候要好得多,因此可以推测该词表示反对上文作者提出的观点,故答案为B.
65.D,段落大意题,这一段的实验主要是为了验证上文的总结Rather than create motivation,they can actually decrease motivation,奖励会降低学生的动力,故答案为D.
66.C,主旨大意题,作者在这篇短文主要指出现实生活中经常使用的奖励机制对于孩子的行为在长久看来是没有作用的,通过实验表明了奖励机制存在的问题等,故答案为C.

4.The UK government has begun a campaign to help people with disabilities get into the workplace.The campaign includes a plan to offer disabled young people new internships(实习)and training to help them find jobs.Ministers want firms to change their employment policies after government research showed that employers'attitudes were a barrier to disabled people.
An advertising campaign for the initiative(倡议)was announced to the public in London on Thursday at a disability employment conference.The campaign will ask employers to recognize the talents that disabled people can offer,and"challenge some of the prejudices."
Prime Minister David Cameron said,"This isn't just about doing what is right for disabled people.Employing disabled people makes business sense,too.We need to deal with the complexities of employing disabled people,or put it more simply,to give employers more confidence."
As part of the new initiative,a government-funded scheme will be available to 16-to 24-year-olds who have complex learning difficulties and disabilities.Youngsters who sign up for an internship,which will be run by further education colleges,will get help from expert career coaches and work for at least six months.Under these"traineeships",young people will get assistance in writing a CV,interview practice,work placements of up to five months and training in English and maths.Employers will also be given help from the same coaches and encouraged to take on disabled young people.
There are nearly seven million disabled people of working age in the UK,and their employment rates have increased slightly over the past decade,from 42.2% in 2002 to 46.3% in 2012.
Last year,the government announced that 27 Remploy factories,which provide employment opportunities for disabled people,were to close.The closures followed advice by an independent review into the way the government spent its disability employment budget.It suggested that the government should use the budget to support individuals,rather than factory businesses.

8.Dear Victor:
I am a college student.Nowadays games on the net are very popular with college students.Some of my roommates are very interested in them.They not only play games in their free time,but also keep talking about them at night when lights are off,and they regard games as part of life.I've begged(乞求) them to give it up,but they wouldn't listen to me.It has become a rather big problem.Should I report it to our teachers or do something else?
Ted,
Dear Ted:
Drop it.Your roommates,as grown-ups,can do whatever they want with their time so long as it doesn't break school rules or violate(防碍) other people's interests.
Playing perhaps gives these students relaxation(放松) from hard study.If they play too often,have little time to study,and they will reap what they have sown,but you will not.Reporting to the teachers would only harm your good name in your dormitory(宿舍).However you have rights to ask your roommates to be quiet when you need sleep.If they aren't angry with you,they will stop talking.But be polite and friendly.Perhaps,in return,join them in a game or two.
Victor.
