閱讀下面短文并回答問題，然后將答案寫到答題卡相應的位置上（請注意問題后的字數(shù)要求）。

（1）Handwritten thank-you letters are such a simple way of making other people feel good.However, it is strange that so few people write them anymore. At work, a thank-you letter to employees is incredibly effective. It costs little and has no side effects. The effort involved in writing letters is very low. However, the pleasure on receiving them__________. This makes them an excellent way to reward and motivate staff.

（2）Doug Conant, chief executive of Campbell’s Soup Company since 2001, knows the power of thank-you letters. In a recent blog for the Harvard Business Review, he said that every day he works with an assistant, combing the company for people deserving thank. He then writes them a thank-you letter. Over the past 10 years he has sent 30,000 thank-you letters to his employees-more than 10 each day. Readers of the blog seem impressed：“Doug, What an inspiring post！Positive, genuine response is uplifting（令人開心的）…”writes one blogger.

（3）But if these letters are so uplifting, why don’t more chief executives write them? There seems to be three reasons. Firstly, chief executives running companies think their own work is more valuable than that of others. Since no one ever writes them thank-you letters they don’t write any themselves. Secondly, they aren’t close enough to the business to know who deserves thanks. Thirdly, they have forgotten the strange human truth that almost everyone would do almost anything in return for a simple pat on the back.

How far would you be willing to go to satisfy your need to know? Far enough to find out your possibility of dying from a terrible disease? These days that’s more than an academic question, as Tracy Smith reports in our Cover Story.

There are now more than a thousand genetic（基因的）tests, for everything from baldness to breast cancer, and the list is growing. Question is, do you really want to know what might eventually kill you? For instance, Nobel Prize-winning scientist James Watson, one of the first people to map their entire genetic makeup, is said to have asked not to be told if he were at a higher risk for Alzheimer’（老年癡呆癥）.

“If I tell you that you have an increased risk of getting a terrible disease, that could weigh on your mind and make you anxious, through which you see the rest of your life as you wait for that disease to hit you. It could really mess you up.” Said Dr. Robert Green, a Harvard geneticist.

“Every ache and pain,” Smith suggested, could be understood as “the beginning of the end.”“That ’s right. If you ever worried you were at risk for Alzheimer’s disease, then every time you can’t find your car in the parking lot, you think the disease has started.”

Dr. Green has been thinking about this issue for years. He led a study of people who wanted to know if they were at a higher genetic risk for Alzheimer’s. It was thought that people who got bad news would, for lack of a better medical term, freak out. But Green and his team found that there was“no significant difference”between how people handled good news and possibly the worst news of their lives. In fact, most people think they can handle it. People who ask for the information usually can handle the information, good or bad, said Green.
