单选题"If a child feels better about himself because he is experiencing success in one area, that may just spill over into other activities", a psychologist at Harvard said. The teachers the Harvard psychologist talked with who have worked with Multiple Intelligence Theory spoke of this " spillover" in terms of greater risk-taking by students. Given a chance to learn through the various domains of intelligence, children tend to try what is harder for them because they've experienced success in easier areas. Multiple Intelligence Theory, which is formulated by Howard Gardner, F helps a teacher work from a child's strengths. My work during the past four years has been as a teacher of the visual arts at the Learning Prep School for language-impaired and learning-disabled students. Gardner' theory puts into words what I have long suspected to be true—there are many different ways of learning, and the arts are an area where some students can excel. The children at the Learning Prep School in West Newton, Massachusetts, have not succeeded in the traditionally accepted areas of intelligence. These students are, however, capable of conceptual thinking, even though their use of language is often limited. The visual arts have been one of the areas in which a number of students have been able to succeed. The visual arts have been integrated into the traditional curriculum in order to enhance learning and to build on a child's strengths. In many ways, the arts can help shape the total child. The visual arts encourage and stimulate language development, and promote conversations that eventually lead to a greater willingness and ability to express the discussion of art projects by using words that describe color, texture, shape and size. Auditory skills of listening and following directions are reinforced. In addition, many children increase their power of observation and become more aware of the world around them. They can learn to concentrate and sustain interest in something meaningful to them. By using tools and materials, children increase manipulative skills, dexterity and coordination. They learn to make decisions of personal taste, color and materials, and they learn to share through creative expression.

单选题A scientist who does research in economic psychology and who wants to predict way in which consumers will spend their money must study consumer behaviors. He must obtain data both on the resources of consumers and on the motives, that tend to encourage or discourage money spending. If an economist were asked which one of the three groups borrow most— people with rising incomes, stable incomes, or declining incomes— he would probably answer: those with declining incomes. Actually, in the years 1947 to 1950, the answer was: people with rising incomes. People with declining incomes were next and people with stable incomes borrowed the least. This shows us that traditional assumption is that if people who have money expect prices to go up, they will hasten to buy. If they expect prices to go down, they will postpone buying. But research surveys have shown that this is not always true. The expectations of income increases may not stimulate buying. One typical attitude was expressed by the wife of a mechanic in an interview at a time of rising prices. "In a few months," she said, "we"ll have to pay more for meat and milk, we"ll have less to spend on other things." Furthermore, the rise in prices that has already taken place may be resented and buyer"s resistance may be evoked. This is shown by the following typical comment: "I just don"t pay these prices, they are too high." Traditional assumptions should be investigated carefully, and factors of time and place should be considered. The investigations mentioned above were carried out in America. Investigations conducted at the same time in Great Britain, however, yielded results that were more in agreement with traditional assumptions about saying and spending patterns. The condition most conductive to spending appears to be price stability. If prices here been stable and people have become accustomed, to consider them "right" and expect them to remain stable, they are likely to buy. Thus, it appears that the common business policy of maintaining stable prices with occasional sales or discounts is based on a correct understanding of consumer psychology.

单选题The cause of the compulsion to make enormous sums of money ______.

单选题Why bother with the study of history? What possible connections exist between an increasingly remote past and our own predicaments (困境) in the present? Can stories about other peoples in other places at any other times have any meaning in an age of vaulting (飞速发展的) technology and traumatizing (惊人) change? Is it reasonable to think that anyone can benefit from the experiences of others in a presumably unprecedented (前所未有的) time when our political and economic systems falter (踉跄), and the nuclear, peril causes nightmares of dread? These questions hold more than rhetorical importance and compel serious answers. Undergraduates in all programs of study need to know what they can hope to learn and how their experiences will affect their capacity to think and act creatively in the future. Skeptics have often argued that a knowledge of history will not provide much help. The American industrialist Henry Ford characterized history as "bunk". Although the observation probably tells more about the limitations of Ford's mind that about the nature of history, other luminaries (名人) have expressed similar reservations. In the seventeenth century, the French scientist and mathematician Rene Descartes worried that undue curiosity about the past would result in excessive ignorance of the present. Another Frenchman, Francois Marie Arouet de Voltaire, a philosopher and historian, described history as "a pack of tricks we play on the dead". Although he meant the comment as an appeal for history written more accurately, he inadvertently gave support to the cynical claim that historians invariably fall into one of three camps: those as George Wilhelm Fried Rich Hegel, a nineteeth century German, feared that the only thing we can learn from history is that no one learns anything from history. Undoubtedly the writing of history is a perilous (危险的) venture. A common lament among historians is the fact that every day requires them to face up to their incomprehension of the world and their incapacity to interpret their evidence correctly. Surely they should rank among the humblest of people. Nevertheless, for many, the sheer joy of the endeavor makes the risk worthwhile. Some even have assigned to themselves important and useful functions. Most historians regard the study of history as a way for human beings to acquire self knowledge. Edward Gibbon, the great English historian of the Roman Empire, sadly described the historical record as consisting of "the crimes, follies, and misfortunes of mankind". Though certainly indicative of a wretched and dismal (阴沉的) state of affairs, his remark also held forth the possibility of escaping such conditions through rational in quiry. Transcendence over the past could come about only through knowledge. Other historians have invoked (行使) their discipline as a kind of ethical sanction (制裁). Lord Acton, a Victorian Englishman, insisted upon maintaining "morality as the sole impartial criterion of men and things". He called upon historians to act as arbiters, defending the proper standards, out of an expectation that the threat of disapproval in the future might discourage incorrect behavior in the present. Historians should call malefactors to account for their misdeeds. Still others presumed the existence of links between the past and the future and suggested that comprehension of what had taken place might prepare for what will come about. How to get ready for the unknown has always posed a great problem. George Santayana, a Harvard philosopher, asserted early in the twentieth century that people who forget about the past are condemned to repeat it. This utilitarian (实利主义的) conception saw in the discipline a way of developing workable strategies for survival. History comprised the recollections of all people. Santayana's claim affirmed that things learned from experience could aid in the avoidance of mistakes, pitfalls, and catastrophes in the future.
