单选题For whom is the author most probably writing this text?

单选题It's 7 a.m. in Kyoto (京都), Japan, and the taxi company has just called a second time to say they can't find my house. Once again I gave directions even a blind cabby could follow. I glance impatiently at my watch, and wait. There is only two hours left before my flight leaves — and it's an hour-and-a-half trip to the airport. Outside, heavy rains are pouring down. The telephone rings again. "Terribly sorry," begins the speaker. Then I realize what has happened. I've heard taxi companies would refuse to take guests to places too far away when the weather gets bad. I shout into the phone that I have a plane to catch and ignore his further explanation. Since I must be in Seoul (首尔) by noon, I walked out in the heavy rain, trying to get a taxi on the way by myself. I gaze up and down the road. No taxi. Finally, struggling with my umbrella and suitcase, I begin to hitchhike. A car goes by, the driver and passenger staring at the well-dressed foreigner walking backward and holding his thumb(大拇指) out in the downpour. From the other direction a white Nissan approaches, then stops by me. A young man throws open the door, and climbs outside. In the most humble Japanese, the man identifies himself as the dispatcher (调度员) with whom I have spoken three times this morning. To get me to my plane, he has abandoned (放弃，离开) his post and raced from the company in his personal car. He keeps apologizing, but does not explain why a taxi could not pick me up, except to say they are "very very busy" this morning. Delivering me straight to the airport, he refuses the 4,000 yen I press into his hand. A few hours later, settling back into my seat as the storm-delayed 727 takes off, I open the newspaper. On the second page my eyes wander to the headline of a short article: "Taxi Strike Begins This Morning in Kyoto./

单选题{{B}}D{{/B}} Psychologists take opposing views 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(认识派的)researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, maintain that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others. The latter view has gained many supporters, especially among educators. But the careful use of small monetary(金钱的)rewards 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 Eisenhower of the University of Delaware in Newark. "But it's easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance of 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 students, Eisenhower holds. As an example of the latter point, he notes growing efforts at major universities to tighten grading standards and restore failing grades. In earlier grades, the use of so-called taken economies, in which students handle challenging problems and receive performance-based points toward valued rewards, shows promise in raising effort and creativity, the Delaware psychologist claims.

Yes, it's always nice to have someone help you when you're cooking. But this voice is not from a man. You are alone! Then where does it come from? Is it from a ghost? No, this isn't a ghost kitchen -- it's the kitchen of the future. Scientists are working to improve everything in the kitchen, from fridges to tables, and even the way we cook. They are making a system. It will help a person cook a meal. You do not need cookbooks. You can hear how to cook food. The fridge of the smart kitchen has a scanner. It looks at the foods in the fridge. It will order more milk from the store when your milk has gone bad or there is no more in the fridge. The gloves will test the temperature of everything they touch and say, "Need to cook longer" or "Hot and ready to eat". If you leave them on the stove by mistake, you'll hear they say, "Fire!" Even the knives and spoons will speak. For example, if you food is had, the knives and spoons will tell you not to eat it. The future may look wonderful, but it's not cheap. The multimedia fridge costs about 8 000 dollars. So even though high-tech kitchens are no longer a dream, not everyone can afford it.
