Britain's Solo Sailor
Ellen MacArthur started sailing with her aunt when she was eight. She loved it so much that shesaved her money for three years to buy her first small sailing boat．When she was 18，she sailed alonearound Britain and won the \
But Ellen really became famous in 2001．Aged only 24，she was one of only two women who entered theVendee Globe round the world solo race，which lasted 100 days．Despite many problems，she came second inthe race out of 24 competitors and she was given a very warm welcome when she returned．
Ambition and determination have always been a big part of Ellen's personality．When she was
younger，she lived in a kind of hut (棚屋) for three years while she was trying to get sponsorship tocompete in a transatlantic race．Then she took a one-way ticket to France，bought a tiny seven-meterClass Mini yacht，slept under it while she was repairing it，and then she raced it 4,000 kilometersacross the Atlantic in 1997，alone for 33 days．
Ellen has had to learn many things，because sailing single-handed means that she has to be her owncaptain，electrician，sail maker，engineer，doctor，journalist，cameraman and cook．She also has to bevery fit，and because of the dangers of sleeping for long periods of time when she's in the middle ofthe ocean, she has trained herself to sleep for about 20 minutes at a time．

pleasure，being out here on the ocean and having the chance to live this．I just feel lucky to be here.\ 56. In the Vendee Globe race，Ellen won ________.

Psychologists take opposing views of how external (外部的) rewards, from warm praise to cold cash,affect motivation and creativity. Behaviorists, who study the relation between actions and theirconsequences, argue that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Cognitive（认知学派的
）researchers, who study various aspects of mental life, maintain that rewards often destroy creativityby encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others.
The latter view has gained many supporters, especially among educators. But the careful use of smallmonetary（金钱的）rewards sparks creativity in grade-school children, suggesting that properly presentedinducements（刺激）indeed aid inventiveness, according to a study in the June Journal of Personality andSocial Psychology.
“If kids know they’re working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challenging task, theyshow the most creativity,” says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. “But it’seasy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much anticipation (期盼)for rewards.”
A teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grades for ordinaryachievement ends up with uninspired students, Eisenberger holds. As an example of the latter point, henotes growing efforts at major universities to tighten grading standards and restore failing grades. In earlier grades, the use of so-called token economies, in which students handle challenging
problems and receive performance-based points toward valued rewards, shows promise in raising effort andcreativity, the Delaware psychologist claims.
60. Psychologists are divided with regard to their attitudes towards ______. A. the choice between spiritual encouragement and monetary rewards B. the amount of monetary rewards for student’ creativity
C. the study of relationship between actions and their consequences D. the effects of external rewards on students’ performance
61. What is the response of many educators to external rewards for their students? A. They have no doubts about them. B. They have doubts about them. C. They approve of them. D. They avoid talking about them.
62. Which of the following can best raise students’ creativity according to Robert Eisenberger? A. Assigning them tasks they have not dealt with before. B. Assigning them tasks which require inventiveness. C. Giving them rewards they really deserve. D. Giving them rewards they anticipate.
63. It can be inferred from the passage that major universities are trying to tighten their gradingstandards because they believe ______.
A. rewarding poor performance may kill the creativity of students B. punishment is more effective than rewarding
C. failing uninspired students helps improve their overall academic standards
D. discouraging the students’ anticipation for easy rewards is a matter of urgency C
