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 267 people 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 $3 and $4 were 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 $3 an hour. A second group was initially hired at $3 an 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 $4 an hour. The third group was offered $4 an 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 $4 an hour from the beginning worked no harder than those who were hired at $3 and 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."

Oscar-winning director Ang Lee' s new epic "Life of Pi" reveals the relationship between a teenage Indian boy and a Bengal tiger. But in reality, the predators(食肉動(dòng)物)are under increasing threat from humans. Animal rights group PETA is hoping to use the popularity of the film to focus people's attention on the real life of Bengal tigers.
With the rising demand for tiger parts from East Asia, illegal hunting remains a tremendous danger for the remaining cat population. Back in 1947, there were 40,000 tigers in India, but the number is experiencing a sharp decline t0 1,706 despite campaigns to protect the animal.
Rising man-animal conflict is also one of the leading causes of decline in tiger numbers. In one of numerous reported attacks on the endangered big cats, villagers near The Bangladesh-India border, armed with sticks and boat oars, set upon the animal suspected to have attacked a local fisherman and beat it to death earlier this month. So far this year, 58 tiger deaths have been reported in the country.
"The first instinct when a tiger is spotted is to just kill it,"grieved Gurmeet Sapal, a wildlife filmmaker. "The feeling of fear and revenge is so strong that it shuts out any other emotion. What we don' t realize is that the tiger never attacks humans until it is forced to. "'
India has been struggling to stop the tiger's decline in the face of the loss of habitat as well that encourages the animals to leave the forest for food. " The tiger's rapidly exhausted prey base causes the predator to go al! out to get its food. Consequently, livestock and human beings become easy prey, which leads inevitably to conflict," says a wildlife conservationist.
Filmmaker Sapal says it is only normal for people to think of the tiger as a dangerous animal, but its image as a human killer bears some injustice. "Tigers never kill for sport nor store meat. They kill their prey only in case of hunger. " 
【小題1】How can PETA take advantage over the hot movie “ Life of Pi ”?

A．PETA can count on the movie to promote people' s awareness of tiger' s life.
B．PETA can make enough money by encourage people to watch the movie.
C．The movie demonstrates that humans and tigers can live in harmony.
D．The movie offers a wonderful opportunity for movie to act in.
【小題2】Why did the villagers beat the tiger to death?
A．Because it was a human killer and attempted to attack people.
B．Because it was suspected to be a threat to local people' s lives.
C．Because local people just followed their instinct to kill it.
D．Because people wanted to carry out their revenge for it.
【小題3】According to the article, when will tigers attack and kill people?
A．When they are annoyed by people.
B．When they have conflict with people.
C．When they are driven to act in the movie.
D．When they are hungry or attacked.
【小題4】What contributes to the facts that livestock and human beings become easy target of tigers?
A．It is easier for tigers to hunt human beings than other animal for food.
B．Tigers are losing their habitat and forced to go out of the woods.
C．People hold a strong belief that tigers are a born threat to their lives.
D．Tigers can't be treated equally as other animal in the forest

In recent years, temperatures in the polar areas are rising faster than anywhere else on Earth. As a result, the ice and the snow are melting at record-setting rates. One result is that sea levels are rising around the world, putting animals and people at risk.
A sheet of ice acts like a huge mirror, reflecting the sun’s energy. But ocean water, which is darker than ice, absorbs a lot of it. This causes the ocean to warm, which in turn speeds up ice melting and which leads to even more open waters. The cycle continues until all the ice is gone.
“As the ice melts, water flows into the oceans, making them less salty. That, along with warmer water temperatures, can harm the creatures that live in, under, and near the ice,” says zoologist Michael Stoddard. “Cold-adapted animals — including polar bears, foxes, hares, and seals — also need ice for travel and survival.”
“Most species of fish, sea spiders, and many other animals and plants that live in the waters of Antarctica don’t live anywhere else,” Stoddard says. “Many of them have special proteins in their bodies keeping them from freezing to death and have other adaptation to the cold that has yet to be explored.”
Therefore, experts are urging us to reconsider the way we live. The fuels that we burn in cars, power stations, and factories are largely to blame for the carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases that are trapping overmuch heat in our atmosphere. If we can produce fewer of these gases, we can help save the polar ice. “Even small things would make a difference, if everyone did them.” Michael Stoddard says, “That’s what we have to figure out in the near future to help save the polar ice and thus protect the oceans and us.”
【小題1】The passage is mainly written to _____.

A．introduce the present situation of the polar areas 
B．warn people against extreme weather 
C．call on people to protect the oceans and humans 
D．a(chǎn)dvertise for volunteers to protect the environment 
【小題2】Paragraph 2 mainly tells us about _______.
A．the ice’s functions 
B．ocean’s quick growing 
C．the cause of sea level rising 
D．the ways of more waters 
【小題3】 From the passage, we can know that _______.
A．most polar animals prefer to live in less salty water 
B．some of the cold-adapted animals mainly feed on ice 
C．many polar creatures have special proteins to keep alive 
D．scientists still don’t know how polar creatures have adapted to the cold 
【小題4】Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Polar bears are expanding at a high speed. 
B．Experts advise people not to use fuels at all. 
C．Wildlife worldwide is in the process of dying out. 
D．Global warm is putting animals and humans at risk.

When Mary Barra took the wheel at General Motors in January she inherited a company in good shape. Five years after bankruptcy(破產(chǎn)), its profits were beyond expectations and its share price was rising. But the new boss's to-do list was long: fixing GM's loss-making European arm, keeping up momentum(勢頭) in China amid signs of a slowdown and giving new life to the product line. The former CEO, Dan Akerson, warned her that she would also face unexpected challenges. The first has arrived sooner than she might have expected.
What appeared to be a routine recall(召回) of about 800,000 older models, linked to a faulty ignition(點(diǎn)火) switch, has turned out to be anything but. The number of cars recalled has leapt to more than 2.6 million. The company's clumsy handling of a safety problem that first became apparent a decade ago is now linked to the deaths of at least 13 motorists.
Called before Congress to answer for GM's failings Ms Barra said she was “deeply sorry” but insisted that the post-bankruptcy “new GM” was not like the “old GM”, which had failed to deal with the ignition switches for years. Politicians and the public alike want to know how such a problem could have remained unaddressed for so long.
Cars are becoming ever more complex machines, with thousands of mechanical and electronic parts. Last year it happened to 22 million vehicles in America, compared with 18 million in 2012. In fact, GM was one of only three brands that recalled fewer vehicles than it sold. Minor problems, like squeaks(吱吱響) or rattles(卡嗒響), that do not affect safety are more common still. They may be fixed at a routine service; the owner may never know. The growing number of recalls is proof to an improving system for picking up faults.
But it is very complicated. Dealers must record replacements of parts under warranty(保修). The carmaker needs to spot the trend, recognize it as a problem and then determine whether or not it is a design fault that requires an extensive replacement. It relies on accurate recording of every warranty replacement in every region. This system appears to have broken down at “old GM”. Ms Barra needs to find out why.
The core problem is a widely used ignition switch that has a tendency to slip from the “on” position to “off” if a driver uses a heavy key-chain or bounces down a rough road. An improvement was made in 2008 to prevent the problem, which can lead to the engine shutting off, disabling the airbags. But despite a growing list of crashes and deaths, GM failed to order a recall for a component that would have cost a few dollars at most.
This is odd. Most carmakers want to identify and fix problems speedily despite having to bear the cost of buying and fitting a new component. A small part can do great harm, if bad publicity leads to reputational collapse, lost sales and law suits, including heavy penalties. Appearing to put profits before safety is an invitation to battering a firm's shares, as GM has discovered.
So far Ms Barra has handled the situation well. She seems to have acted as soon as she found out something was wrong. GM has appointed a worldwide safety president to cut through the process that may have delayed investigation and action. And in a sweeping housecleaning, GM has recalled another 2 million vehicles in America alone. GM looks set to accept moral, if not legal, responsibility. The terms of its exit from bankruptcy give immunity to lawsuits for injuries arising beforehand. But GM is likely to compensate survivors’ and victims' families anyway.
It is not yet clear how much of a hammering GM will take. But hours before Ms Barra's meeting with Congress, the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety issued a greatly desired “Top Safety Pick” for the new Chevrolet Malibu, one of a growing number of well-received cars from GM.
【小題1】When Mary Barra took office, there was plenty more room for GM's improvement in that ________.
a. the development of Chinese market appears to be slowing down
b. former bosses have failed to fix GM's loss-making European arm
c. some car models lack appeal in the market
d. Mr. Akerson has left some challenges for her to handle
e. GM’s management teams are made up mainly of men

A． a, b, and e B． b, c, and d C． a, b, and c D．a(chǎn), c and d 
【小題2】What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?
A．Problems like squeaks or rattles are frequent reasons for recalls. 
B．Recalls are not uncommon in the auto industry. 
C．Car companies welcome recalls to demonstrate improved products and services. 
D．Minor problems may be fixed at a routine service without the owners’ knowledge. 
【小題3】Mary Barra has carried out the following strategies to manage the crisis and quiet the critics EXCEPT that ________.
A．a(chǎn)s soon as she learned about the problem, she acted without hesitation 
B．she faced facts and apologized sincerely  
C．she took the legal responsibilities for their previous mistakes 
D．she appointed a new president for global safety for GM 
【小題4】What does the underlined word “battering” in paragraph7 probably mean?
A．Benefiting. B．Regulating. C．Purchasing. D．Damaging. 
【小題5】What can we infer from GM's new Malibu being awarded “Top Safety Pick”?
A．GM's new model Malibu is specially designed to solve ignition problems. 
B．GM products are gaining more and more popularity around the world. 
C．GM seems to be on the road to saving itself from mistakes. 
D．GM has worked out a solution to the broken-down recall system.

PERTH—Search crews will send a submarine(潛航器)deep into the Indian Ocean on Monday for the first time to try to determine whether signals detected by sound-locating equipment are from the  missing Malaysian plane's black boxes, the Australian head of the search said.
Angus Houst on said the crew on board the Ocean Shield  will send the underwater vehicle sometime Monday evening. The Bluefin 21 submarine can create a sonar(聲吶)map of the area to chartany wreckage(殘骸)on the seafloor.
The move comes after crews picked up a series of underwater sounds over the past two weeks that were consistent with an aircraft's black boxes.
“We haven’t had a single detection in six days, and l guess it’s time to go under water,” said Houston.
“Analysis of the four signals has reduced the search area on the ocean floor. The experts have therefore determined that the Australian Defense Vessel Ocean Shield will stop searching with the Towed Pinger Locator(拖曳聲波定位儀)later today and use the underwater vehicle Bluefin 21 as soon as possible," he said at a news conference in Perth.
But Houston warned the switch to the submarine will not automatically "result in the detection of the aircraft wreckage. It may not.”
He said the submarine will take 24 hours to do each task, including two hours to dive, 16 hours to search the bottom, then two more hours hack up and four hours to download data.
Recovering the plane's flight data and cockpit(飛行員座艙)voice recorders is necessary For investigators to try to figure out what happened to Flight 370, which disappeared on March 8. 
Houston said the search using the submarine will be a slaw and painstaking process.
The submarine takes six times longer to cover the same area as the pinger locator,and will need about six weeks to two months to examine the present underwater zone. The signals are also coming from 4,500 meters (15,000 feet) below the surface, which is the deepest the submarine can dive.
【小題1】The submarine will be sent deep into the Indian Ocean on Monday to _____ .

A．create a sonar trap of the area
B．pick up underwater sounds
C．see if the signals detected are from the target black boxes
D．reduce the search area on the ocean floor
【小題2】According to the passage, the submarine_______ .
A．will download data of the black boxes
B．can find the aircraft wreckage within 24 hours
C．will recover the plane's flight data and voice recorder
D．can dive to a depth of no more than 4,500 meters
【小題3】The underlined sentences in the passage indicate that______.
A．the switch of the submarine may not function properly
B．the Ocean Shield will switch to submarine when it is necessary
C．the submarine will detect the wreckage of the plane automatically
D．the detection of the wreckage can't be guaranteed by using the submarine
【小題4】The search will be a slow and painstaking process, mainly because _____ .
A．the underwater sounds were consistent with an aircraft's black boxes
B．the submarine travels slowly and the ocean is deep
C．they haven't had a single detection in six days
D．Ocean Shield stops searching wine the towed pinger locator

All it took was a slice of Xinjiang cake to spark heated debates online over China's policy on ethnic minorities (少數(shù)民族) .
Since Monday, qiegao (cut cake) has been a trending topic on Sina Weibo, China’s main Twitter-like microblogging service.
The cake was a reference to Xinjiang’s famed nut cake, sometimes known by its old Turkic name baklava, a popular pastry across Central Asia and the Middle East. In Xinjiang, they are sold by Uygur vendors on tricycles who are known to charge dubious prices depending on the time and season.
The ethnic flare-up started after the Yueyang police from Hunan province posted a message on their official Weibo account. It reported a dispute in Pingjiang county over an overpriced piece of nut cake between a Xinjiang Uygur vendor and a villager named "Ling".
Villager Ling got into a fight with a Uygur due to a misunderstanding. The verbal dispute eventually escalated into a fight and then a mass fight. As a result, two people were injured and Xinjiang nut cakes worth about 160,000 yuan (US$25,000) were destroyed. The total damage was worth 200,000 yuan which included a broken motorcycle and injuries to people. Local police have detained Ling. The 16 Uygur sellers were dully compensated and sent back to Xinjiang.
"Yueyang police incident" quickly became one of the most popular topics on Weibo. Yueyang police removed the post shortly after. As of Tuesday night, the topic was still amassing more than 66,000 hits. 
The incident is just one of many similar cases of ethnic tensions across China, notably in Xinjiang province, where deeply entrenched social and racial frictions between the dominant ethnic Han Chinese and minority Uygur Muslims occasionally spark violence. Many Uygurs living in major Chinese cities are viewed by locals as thieves, crooks and even terrorists.
【小題1】Which of the following is true?

A．The dispute is between a Xinjiang Uygur vendor and a policeman.
B．Nut cake is a popular pastry across East Asia and the Middle East.
C．The prices of Baklava will change according to the time and season.
D．The demand of the 16 Uygur sellers were refused and they were sent back to Xinjiang.
【小題2】How much did the broken motorcycle cost？
A．160,000 yuan B．200,000 yuan C．40,000yuan D．We don’t know
【小題3】What’s the best title of the passage?
A．World's most expensive baklava
B．Ethnic tensions across China
C．Pay attention to the Uygurs
D．Misunderstanding caused a fight
【小題4】What can we infer from the passage?
A．Yueyang police are afraid of the Xinjiang Uygur vendor
B．It’s not the only ethnic tension across China,
C．Many Uygurs living in major Chinese cities are viewed by locals as thieves, crooks and even terrorists.
D．Villager Ling got into a fight with a Uygur due to a misunderstanding.

I was interested to read a newspaper article about a new concept in old people’s homes in France. The idea is simple, but revolutionary——combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children, and if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a cuddle(擁抱). There are trips out and birthday parties too.
The advantages are enormous for everyone concerned. The children are happy because they get a lot more individual attention, and respond well because someone has time for them. They see illness and death and learn to accept them. The residents are happy because they feel useful and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the children are around and they take more interest in their appearance too.
Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are many reasons for this, including the breakdown of the extended family, working parents with no time to care for aging relations, families that have moved away, and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the result is the same——increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. And more old people who are lonely and feel useless, along with more and more families with young children who desperately need more support. It’s a major problem in many societies.
That’s why intergenerational programmes, designed to bring the old and the young together, are growing in popularity all over the world. There are examples of successful attempts all over the world. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another, perhaps reading with children who need extra attention.
【小題1】A nursery school is a place where _______.

A．future nurses are trained
B．the elderly live
C．children are taken care of
D．the old join in activities
【小題2】Which is true according to the passage?
A．A number of assistants are employed to take care of the children.
B．The new concept benefits both the elderly and the children.
C．The children become stronger after getting more individual attention.
D．The children learn that sick people will die.
【小題3】What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?
A．The reason why the old and the young are separated.
B．The support children need.
C．One reason why children don’t live with their grandparents.
D．The problem that the old and the young are separated.
【小題4】What does the “intergenerational programmes” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A．Combining elderly homes with nursery schools.
B．Letting the children and the residents eat together.
C．Asking young people to teach IT skills to older people.
D．Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools.
【小題5】 What is the best title for the passage?
A．Old people’s Homes in France
B．Building Bridges of Life
C．A Solution to the Elderly Problem
D．Children’s New Happy Life
