7、e to your employees feelings when you deliver negative feedback (反馈).Kim, who worked as a software engineer for Samsung after graduation from college, is familiar with having his creative work picked apart.“I personally hate hearing negative feedback as most people do and I wondered if it really imp
8、roved my performance, particularly when it came to completing creative tasks.” In two studies, Kim found that negative feedback can help or prevent creativity.What is most important is where the criticism (批评) comes from.When creative professionals or participants received criticism from a boss or a
9、 peer, they tended to be less creative in their later work.Interestingly, if a person received negative feedback from an employee of lower rank, they became more creative.It makes sense that employees might feel threatened by criticism from their managers.Supervisors(监督员；管理者)have a lot of power in d
10、eciding promotions or pay raises.So negative feedback from a boss might cause career(职业) anxiety.It also stands to reason that feedback from a coworker might also be received as threatening.We often compete with our peers for the same promotions and chances.What Kim found most surprising was how cri
11、ticism proved to improve supervisors through lessons learned from negative feedback that came from their followers (employees that they manage).“But we tend to believe we shouldnt criticize the boss，” says Kim.“In reality, most supervisors dont detest negative feedback since they want to learn from
12、it.Another reason is that they are in a natural power position and can deal with the discomfort of negative feedback better.”As for giving suggestions to employees, bosses should point out a followers poor performance or weak points in time.But they should keep their feedback specific to tasks.Expla
13、in how the point theyre discussing relates to only their task behavior, not to aspects of the person.Meanwhile, feedback receivers need to worry less when it comes to receiving criticism.4Whats the motivation behind Kims study?ATo work on his essays for graduation.BTo have a better knowledge of crit
14、icism.CTo call for understanding between workers.DTo encourage a culture of criticism in the workplace.5Whats the main idea of Paragraph 4?AWhat typical power supervisors possess.BWhat feedback can cause career anxieties.CHow workers can have a good impression on bosses.DWhy certain criticism harms
15、a persons performance.6What amazed Kim mostly in the study?ASome people enjoy negative feedback.BEmployees are brave to criticize the boss.CFollowers criticism may benefit managers.DMany bosses sometimes struggle in their work.7Which of the following would the author agree with?A.Bosses should give
16、criticism actively and also properly.B.Workers should avoid exposing their own personal matters.C.Workers should compromise with each other sometimes.DPeople should try to avoid criticizing their coworkers.CThere have been many headlines in recent years about the potentially negative impacts contact
17、 sports can have on athletes brains.However, a study by Northwestern University (NU) showed that in the absence of injury, athletes across a variety of sports, including football, basketball and hockey, have healthier brains than nonathletes.The researchers examined the brain health of 495 Northwest
18、ern student athletes and 493 citizens.They delivered speech syllables to study the participants through earbuds (耳塞) and recorded the brains activity with scalp electrodes (头皮电极).They analyzed the ratio of background noise to the response to the speech sounds by looking at how the response to sound
19、was relative to the background noise.Athletes have a better ability to diminish background electrical noise in their brain to better process external sounds, such as a teammate yelling or a coach calling to them from the sidelines.“No one would argue against the fact that sports lead to better physi
20、cal fitness, but we dont always connect brain fitness with sports，” said Senior author and professor Nina Kraus.He likens (比喻) the phenomenon to listening to a DJ on the radio.“Think of background electrical noise in the brain like static (天电干扰)on the radio，” Kraus said.“There are two ways to hear t
21、he DJ better minimize the static or increase the DJs voice.We found that athletes brains use the first way to hear the DJ better.A serious commitment to physical activity is beneficial to the nervous system, and perhaps, if you have a healthier nervous system, you may be able to better handle injury
22、 or other health problems.”“The findings could motivate athletic interventions for those who struggle with hearing processing.In particular, playing sports may offset(抵消) the excessively noisy brains often found in children from lowincome areas，” Kraus said.8Whats new about contact sports in NUs stu

26、n the ongoing climate crisis, we need to plant new trees.A paper recently published in Science predicts that our Earth could support an additional 9，000，000 sq km of forest, potentially hosting 500 billion trees that are able to absorb more than 200 billion tons of CO2.It would be a serious help.The
27、 Earths land is 149，000，000 sq km.According to our study, when we take out glaciers and deserts, we are left with 104，000，000 sq km.When we further take out cities, freshwater, forests, etc., we finally get 51，000，000 sq km of arable (适于耕种的)land badly needed to feed 7.5 billion human beings.Very few
28、 people are aware of the great complexity of the whole system.“Widespread use at the scale of millions of square kilometers globally of treeplanting and bioenergy crops (用于制造生物能源的农作物)planting，” reads an IPCC report, “could have potentially bad consequences for food security and land degradation (退化)
29、.” In other words, more widespread monoculture(单一栽培)and more bioenergy crops could degrade soil.Bioenergy now has a 50 per cent share of the worlds renewable energy consumption, according to expert Fatih Birols words: “as much as wind, solar and all others combined”Its good news, but not entirely.On
30、e reason is that rising ocean levels and deserts spreading are taking away more arable land.So we arrive at a tough choice.Should we use our spare soil for agriculture, reforestation or bioenergy?Firstly, when planning to use lots of spare land to grow trees, we should notice that last year, 36，000
31、sq km of forest was cut down.So wouldnt it be better to start by stopping cutting down forests altogether? Besides, animal farming takes up 77 per cent of the worlds arable land and provides us with 18 per cent of the calories.Shouldnt we globally cut back on meat consumption? Lastly, modern bioener
32、gy, which is made from nonfoodcrops, is already available.Shouldnt we avoid firstgeneration biofuels, which are obtained from food crops?12What does the Science paper predict?APeople will be more active in planting trees.BThe climate change will lessen in the future.CLarge quantities of trees can he

34、lation14What can be inferred from the IPCC report?APlanting trees benefits bioenergy crops.BMore land can be used for growing bioenergy crops.CThe condition of plenty of land has been improved.DLarge scale of treeplanting may be a doubleedged sword.15Whats the last paragraph mainly about?AHow to pro

36、he discipline. 17 Social psychology studies peoples attitudes, beliefs, and behaviors.It also examines interpersonal interaction, analyzing the way in which someone interacts with other people.It also examines cultural influences like advertisements, books, films, television, and radio.Social psycho
37、logists like to use empirical (以实验为依据的)methods to conduct studies in their fields.These methods often involve experiments which can bring up complex ethical (伦理的) problems.One of the most infamous social psychology experiments was the Stanford Prison Experiment. 18 To avoid a repeat of such question
38、able experiments, social psychologists rely on the efforts of ethics committees to ensure that their work is ethically allowable.The study of social psychology is significant.It can explain how groups make decisions, which social conditions can lead to improper behavior, etc.And social psychologists
