6．How do you design a pay plan that motivates people to do their best work？A new study by three Harvard researchers suggests a novel answer：Shortly after you hire new workers，give them a raise．
"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 between more pay and extra effort depends on presenting the increase"as a gift-that is，as something you've chosen to do purely as a nice gesture，with no strings attached．"
Malhotra and his team studied 267people hired by oDesk，a global online network of freelancers，to do a one-time data-entry project for four hours．All of the new hires were people in developing countries，for whom hourly wages of 3and4were 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 3anhour．Asecondgroupwasinitiallyhiredat3an 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 4anhour．Thethirdgroupwasoffered4an hour from the start and given no increase．
Even though the second and third groups were eventually paid the same amount，the second group worked harder and produced more-about 20% more-than 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 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 pay，in and of itself，didn't promote productivity：People who made 4anhourfromthebeginningworkednoharderthanthosewhowerehiredat3and 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 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 you're choosing to do just because you can．Our theory is that people will reciprocate．If you do something nice，they'll do something nice back．"

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 for a long time．
D．A particular method of doing an activity，usually involving practical skills．
60．Why did the second group produce more than the other two groups？D
A．Because they thought they were better paid than the other groups．
B．Because they were experienced employees from developing countries．
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．
61．What can we infer from this passage？B
A．No pains，no gains．
B．It matters not what we give but how．
C．Honesty is the best policy．

3．Everyone has got two personalities-the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real．You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you can control your behavior，but when you're asleep，your sleeping position shows the real you．In a normal night，of course，people frequently change their position．The important position is the one that you go to sleep in．
If you go to sleep on your back，you're a very open person．You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by fashion or new ideas．You don't like to upset people，so you never express your real feelings．You're quite shy and you aren't very confident．
If you sleep on your stomach，you are a rather secretive （不坦率的） person．You worry a lot and you're always easily upset．You're very stubborn （顽固的），but you aren't very ambitious．You usually live for today not for tomorrow．This means that you enjoy having a good time．
If you sleep curled up （卷曲），you are probably a very nervous person．You have a low opinion of yourself and so you're often defensive．You're shy and you don't normally like meeting people．You prefer to be on your own．You're easily hurt．
If you sleep on your side，you have usually got a well-balanced personality．You know your strengths and weaknesses．You're usually careful．You have a confident personality．You sometimes feel anxious，but you don't often get depressed．You always say what you think even if it annoys people．

2．In the past two years，his wife，Merlie，and their seven children have said"goodbye"to him four times，most recently last month．Each time it has been unnecessary．
Mr．Smart had a hip （髋关节） replacement in February at the Burnie hospital but was rushed back two months later with internal bleeding（内部出血）．
"The doctors couldn't stop the bleeding，"Mrs．Smart said．Medical staff told Mrs．Smart to contact her family，which includes children in Western Australia．"It took two days for them to get here．We had to hope he hung on．"He did．
"Luckily the doctors were there 24hours a day and finally they stopped the bleeding．They brought him back，"Mrs．Smart said．"I certainly believe in miracles（奇迹） because I've seen one happen，but it wouldn't have happened if the doctors didn't do what they did．"
It was the second time Mrs．Smart thought she was losing her husband of 54years．Two years ago，Mr．Smart was admitted to the Launceston General Hospital after a heart attack and a few days later with intense pain caused by a hemorrhage （出血）．Again，the family was called to say goodbye---twice．
"I was given a 50-50chance of coming out of it．"Mr．Smart said．
Going through the ordeal（苦难） then was trying on the family，who had prepared themselves for the worst．But to face the same situation only two years later was hard．The Smarts said the support they received at the Burnie hospital helped them through．
And it seems that the experience has also left an impression at the hospital．Mrs．Smart said when she rang recently and mentioned her husband's name，the reply was"ah the miracle man"．
