Ⅲ.阅读理解(30分)

A

It is often said that politeness costs nothing. In fact, it seems that a little more courtesy could save businesses ￡5billion every year.

Frequently hearing the phrase "thank you" or "well done" means the same to staff as a modest pay rise, researchers say. Praise and encouragement also makes employees more likely to work hard and stay in their jobs, saving on the cost of finding replacements.

A third of 1,000 workers surveyed by consulting firm White Water Strategies said they did not get thanked at all when they did well, and a further third said they were not thanked enough. In both cases, staff said they felt undervalued, meaning they were less likely to exert themselves and were more likely to look for employment elsewhere. The net result is around ￡5.2billion in lost productivity from employees who would raise their game if they felt more appreciated, White Water claimed. According to the company, praising staff has the same motivational kick as a 1 per cent pay rise - and works out much cheaper for bosses. Three out of four employees said that regular acknowledgement by their bosses was important to them, but only a quarter said they were actually given as much praise as they felt they needed. The survey found that those in blue-collar and manual jobs were less likely to be given any recognition for doing well. ks5u

In regional terms, Scottish staff felt most undervalued. Four out of ten workers said they were never thanked and eight out of ten said they would like more praise. However, workers in the North-East are less impressed by being buttered up by the boss, as only 69 per cent said they felt the need to be told "well done" regularly.

Older employees and women need the most reassurance, according to psychologist Averil Leimon, a director of White Water Strategies. She said that words of praise did more than create a pleasant place to work - they could even boost profits.

41. What can we infer from the text?

A. Three out of four employees said they were given as much praise as they felt they needed.

B. British staff felt most undervalued than staff of other counties.

C. White-collar were more likely to be praised than manual jobs.

D. Praise and encouragement can make employees more likely to work hard than stay in their jobs.

42. From the 4th paragraph, we know workers in the North-East of England are _________ than Scottish staff.

A. more eager for boss’ praise B. less likely to be moved by boss’ praise

C. less eager for boss’ praise D. more likely to be moved by boss’ praise

43. According to psychologist Averil Leimon, what kind of person need the most praise?

A. Older male employees. B. Older female employees.

C. Young female employees. D. Young female employees.

44. What does “Politeness costs nothing.” mean?

A. Politeness can make you lose a lot.

B. You have to cost no money to become polite.

C. If you are polite, you don’t have to cost anything to get everything.

D. Politeness benefits you a lot.

New rules and behavior standards for middle school students came out in March. Middle school is going to use a new way to decide who the top students are. The best students won't only have high marks. They will also be kids who don't dye (color) their hair, smoke or drink. The following are some of the new rules.

Tell the truth. Have you ever copied someone else's work on an exam? Don't do it again! That's not something an honest student should do. If you have played computer games for two hours in your room, don't tell your parents you have done homework.

Do more at school. Good students love animals and care for other people. April is Bird-Loving Month in China. Is your school doing anything to celebrate? You should join! That way, you can learn more about animals and how to protect them. When more people work together, it makes more fun for everyone.

Have you ever quarreled with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together can make your team stronger. Be friendly to the people you are with. Try to think of others not only yourself.

Be open to new ideas. Have you ever thought that people could live on the moon? Maybe you'll discover Earth II someday. Don't look down on new ideas. Everyone's ideas are important. You should welcome them, because new ideas make life better for everyone.

Protect yourself. Has someone ever taken money from one of your classmates? Don't let it happen to you. If you have to go home late, you should let your parents know.

Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. But some things on the Internet aren't for kids, so try to look at Web pages that are good for you. You can use the Web for fun or homework. Can't you find any good Web sites for children? Here are some:

A. how they can study well B. what they should do at school
