Looking back at my senior school life, I have so many things to share them with all of you. I still remember that I step into my high school with high expectations. Therefore, I felt so frustrated after the first month test. I even began to doubt that I was qualified to be a senior school student.
With the helps of friendly classmates, teachers and parents, I picked up my courage and regained the spirits to devote myself to study, thus do well in some academic performances. Besides, I took active part in colorful after-school activities such as basketball matches, singing competitions and English debates, on which I benefit a lot.

本文主要讲述Trevor所写的一篇名为“员工流动与工作绩效、薪酬增长与晋升的关系”的文章，从而介绍了工资及工作机会对雇员的工作表现，营业额，工作态度的影响。

15. The following card includes a brief summary and a short assessment of a research paper. It can provide a guide for further reading on the topic.
Trevor, C. O., Lansford, B. and Black, J. W., 2004, “Employee turnover (人事变更) and job performance: monitoring the influences of salary growth and promotion”, Journal of Armchair Psychology, vol. 113, no.1, pp. 56-64.
In this article Trevor et al. review the influences of pay and job opportunities in respect of job performance, turnover rates and employees’ job attitude. The authors use data gained through organizational surveys of blue-chip companies in V ancouver, Canada to try to identify the main cause of employee turnover and whether it is linked to salary growth. Their research focuses on assessing a range of pay structures such as pay for performance and organizational reward plans. The article is useful as Trevor et al. suggest that there are numerous reasons for employee turnover and a variety of differences in employees’ job attitude and performance. The main limitation of the article is that the survey sample was restricted to mid-level management, thus the authors indicate that further, more extensive research needs to be undertaken to develop a more in-depth understanding of employee turnover and job performance. As this article was published in a professional journal, the findings can be considered reliable. It will be useful additional information for the research on pay structures.
1. The research paper published is primarily concerned with .
A．the way of preventing employee turnover
B．methods of improving employee performance
C．factors affecting employee turnover and performance
D．pay structures based on employee performance
2. As is mentioned in the card, the limitation of the research paper mainly lies in that .
A．the data analysis is hardly reliable B．the research sample is not wide enough
C．the findings are of no practical value D．the research method is out-of-date
3. Who might be most interested in this piece of information?
A．Job hunters.B．Employees in blue-chip companies.
C．Mid-level managers.D．Researchers on employee turnover.
16. Getting stuck with gifts we do not want is no small problem. In a survey across 14 countries in Europe, meanwhile, 1 in 7 said they were unhappy with what they received for Christmas, yet more than half simply kept the gifts.
Why can’t more gifts be passed along to people who appreciate them? People in a study published in the Journal of Consumer Behaviour, for instance, used such words as guilty, lazy, thoughtless and disrespectful in describing their feelings about regifting. Popular culture casts it as taboo (禁忌), as well.
However, our research with Francis J. Flynn, a professor of organizational behavior at Stanford University’s Graduate School of Business, suggests the shame associated with regifting is largely unwarranted. Indeed, our research consistently tells us that people overestimate the negative consequences.
We asked people to imagine themselves as a “giver,” who gives someone a gift card and later learned it had been regifted. The general attitude of the original givers was: “It’s your gift, do what you want with it.” Next, we asked givers to compare regifting a supposed wristwatch with throwing it in the trash. For the original givers, regifting the watch was a much less offensive act than trashing it.
Finally, we invited to our lab at Stanford people who had recently received presents, and divided the people into two groups. When we gave the first group an opportunity to regift that present, 9% did so. When we gave the second group the same opportunity, we added that it was “National Regifting Day”. It wasn't really National Regifting Day, but the group didn’t know that: 30% of them agreed to regift.
Everyone has received unwanted gifts in their lives, and generally we will receive more in the future. Our research offers a simple solution to that problem. This holiday season, consider regifting, and encourage receivers of your gifts to do the same if what you gave them isn't quite what they hoped for.
1. Why does the author mention the study in Journal of Consumer Behaviour?
A．To highlight the importance of regifting.
B．To show people’s attitudes to regifting.
C．To challenge the rightness of regifting.
D．To express his concern for regifting.
2. What is the meaning of the underlined word “unwarranted”?
A．Unnecessary.B．Uncertain.
C．Unimportant.D．Unconscious.
3. What do we know about the research?
A．9% simply kept unwanted gifts.
B．30% didn’t know National Regifting Day.
C．Givers generally didn’t mind regifting.
D．Receivers tended to trash unwanted gifts.
4. What can we conclude from the text?
A．Regifting is offensive.B．Regifting is forbidden.
C．Regifting is popular.D．Regifting is acceptable.

文章说明了杂货店排队方式以及研究人员提出的蛇形队伍的新方式，并分析了各自的利弊。

17. Y ou run into the grocery store to pick up one bottle of water. Y ou get what you need, head to the front, and choose the line that looks fastest.
You chose wrong. People who you swear got in other lines long after you are already checked out and off to the parking lot. 1
It turns out, it’s just math working against you; chances are, the other line really is faster.
Grocery stores try to have enough employees at checkout to get all their customers through with minimum delay. 2 Any small interruption-a price check, a chatty customer-can have downstream effects, holding up an entire line.
If there are three lines in the store, delays will happen randomly at different registers. Think about the probability: 3 So it's not just in your mind: Another line probably is moving faster.
Researchers have a good way to deal with this problem. Make all customers stand in one long, snaking line- called a serpentine line-and serve each person at the front with the next available register. 4 This is what they do at most banks and fast-food restaurants. With a serpentine line, a long delay at one register won't unfairly punish the people who lined up behind it. Instead, it will slow down everyone a little bit but speed up checkout overall.
5 It takes many registers to keep one line moving quickly, and some stores can't afford the space or manpower. So wherever your next wait
may be: Good luck.
A．Why does this always seem to happen to you?
B．So why don’t most places encourage serpentine lines?
C．Some of the may have stood in a queue for almost an hour.
D．The chances of your line being the fastest are only one in three.
E．How high is the probability that you are in the fastest waiting line?
F．With three registers, this method is much faster than the traditional approach.
G．But sometimes, as on a Sunday afternoon, the system gets particularly busy.
