Passage l Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage: Psychologists take opposing view of how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences, argue that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Cognitive researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, maintain that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gift from others. The latter view has gained many supporters, especially among educators. But the careful use of small monetary rewards spares 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 they’re working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity,” says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. “But it’s easy to kill creativity by giving rewards of poor performance or creating too much anticipation for rewards.” A teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grades for ordinary achievement ends up with uninspired student, Eisenberger holds. As an example of the latter point, he notes growing efforts at major universities to tighten grading standards and restore failing grades.

Psychologists are divided with regard to their attitudes 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 32. What is the response of many educators to external rewards for their students? A) They have no doubts about them. B) They have doubts about them. C) They approve of them. D) They avoid talking about them. 33. Which of the following can best raise students’ creativity according to Robert Elsenberger? A) Assigning them tasks they have not dealt with before. B) Assigning them tasks which require inventiveness. C) Giving them rewards really deserve. D) Giving them rewards they anticipate. 34. It can be inferred from the passage that major universities are trying to tighten their grading standards because they believe _____. A) rewarding poor p
