確答案。8.閱讀理解 Exercise helps to keep us in good health. Doctors at the American Heart Association suggest getting at least 150 minutes of proper physical activity every week. Many people exercise for a few minutes every day or every other day. So, getting 150 minutes every week is easy. But what about those times when you are sick? If you do not feel well, should you keep following your exercise habit? Health experts answer these and other questions. Edward R. Laskowski is a doctor at the Mayo Clinic. He and other experts have a general rule of yes about exercising when you are sick. It is usually fine to exercise, he explains, if your symptoms (癥狀)are all above the neck. These signs may include a runny nose, a blocked nose, sneezing or a minor sore throat. Geralyn Coopersmith is a physical fitness trainer who has written several books on exercise and nutrition. Both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest taking a break from exercising if signs of your illness appear below the neck. Pay special attention to symptoms such as chest congestion, extreme cough or pain in the stomach. There are other symptoms that can tell you to avoid exercise. They include: a higher than normal body temperature, a sense of feeling extremely tired, and widespread muscle pain. Both Coopersmith and Dr. Laskowski suggest listening to your body. If you feel really bad, take a break and let your body rest. If you don39。t feel too bad, these experts both suggest reducing the amount of exercise. For example, if you usually run, take a quick walk instead.(1)How long should people do exercise to keep healthy? 150 minutes per day. 100 minutes per day. least 150 minutes per week. more than 100 minutes per week.(2)When will Edward R.

Some teachers use rewards in recognition of students39。 effort or achievement, giving them prizes, medals, certificates, or money. Psychologists take opposite 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 researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, believe 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(金錢的) rewards sparks creativity in primary school children, suggesting that properly given stimuli(刺激) indeed encourage creativity, according to a study in the June Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. If kids know they39。re working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, they show the most creativity, says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. But it39。s easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much desire for rewards. A teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grades for ordinary achievement ends up with students lacking in creativity and motivation, Eisenberger says. As an example of the latter point, he particularly mentions growing efforts to tighten grading standards and adopt failing grades at major universities. In earlier grades, the use of rewarding system, in which students handle challenging problems and receive performancebased points toward valued rewards, shows promise in raising effort and creativity, Eisenberger claims.(1)Psychologists are divided in their attitudes toward _____. choice between spiritual encouragement and monetary rewards amount of monetary rewards for students39。 creativity relationship between actions and their consequences effects of external rewards on students39。 performance(2)Which of the following does NOT belong to examples of “external rewards”? received a certificate for winning a speech petition. was praised by the teacher for making progress in English. made great efforts to enter a major university. was offered a free summer camp due to his hard work.(3)Which of the following can best raise students39。 creativity according to Robert Eisenberger? them tasks they have not dealt with before. them tasks which require creativity. them rewards they really deserve. them rewards they hope for.(4)It can be inferred from the passage that major universities are trying to tighten t
