There's a curious thing about people.All of us are driven in some way or another to achieve—we want to run faster,be more creative,win more awards,and earn more money.But here's the thing: if you want to offer warm words of wisdom,constructive criticism or "360-degree feedback（反馈;反应）",then think again.Most of us would rather not hear it.

Our easily-broken egos（自尊心）are partly to blame.We all want to meet our own expectations of ourselves,and so being criticized can present a huge threat to our egos.Yet as decades of psychological theory and research have indicated,people have endless tricky strategies(策略) of remaining positive in the face of criticism.For this reason,rather than us welcoming feedback with open arms,our first response is often an automatic defense.These reactions serve to make us feel better about ourselves.

Psychological research exposes this unhealthy appetite for ignorance.In one study,students watched a false educational film about a serious disease called "TAA Deficiency".In fact,TAA Deficiency is completely fictional,but the students were not told this information;instead,they were asked whether they wished to provide a cheek test for assessing（评估）their risk of developing the disease.Half of the students were told that if they ever developed TAA Deficiency,then the treatment would involve them taking a two-week course of pills.Of this group,52% agreed to provide the cheek test.The other half of students learned the treatment would involve taking the pills for the rest of their lives.Of this group,only 21% agreed to the test.

These findings show a common pattern seen in other studies within and beyond the context(背景) of healthcare. That is,people are especially resistant to hearing feedback when they believe it could force them to do something difficult or unpleasant.

1.What can we infer from paragraph 1?

A. People should be satisfied with what they have.

B. People should offer constructive criticism.

C. People should be cautious when giving advice.

D. People should care less about others.

2.How do people usually react when facing criticism?

A. They try to accept it.

B. They deal with it seriously.

C. They tend to support or protect themselves.

D. They turn to psychological theory.

3.Why didn't most of the second group agree to the test?

A. They didn't believe in the result.

B. They knew there wasn't such a disease.

C. They were sensitive to the negative result.

D. They didn't agree with the test.

4.What can be the best title for the passage?

A. Meeting Criticism　　 B. Rethinking Feedbacks

C. Improving Healthcare　　 D. Fighting TAA Deficiency

高三英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析

Poverty is not first thing that comes to mind when you think of Japan．After all, there are no

children begging on the streets in major cities here．You do not often see Japanese citizens publicly letting out their complaints over the country’s economic decline．But senior government researcher Aya Abe says Japan has the fourth highest rate of child poverty among developed countries．

She says she sees that poverty in schools where students admit to only bathing once a

week．Some cannot afford to buy pencils for class．

“They may not be on the streets begging or they may not be turning into criminals,but it’s

there．It’s just that we have to open our eyes and see,” Abe said．

Abe owes the increase in child poverty to the country’s changing demographics（人口统计）,

struggling economy and high social security premiums（保险费）．She says fewer people live in three-generation households, where the parents and grandparents work．The number of single mothers has increased．The salary for young fathers has declined with the economic downturn．Social security premiums have increased in the last 20 years, putting families on the edge of poverty．

Abe says studies conducted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development

（OECD ） point to rising poverty in Japan before the global economic crises in 2008．But the Japanese government and the public refused to acknowledge it until then partly because of the shame associated with poverty．

“It was very unpopular for Japanese media to say anything about Japanese poverty,” said

Abe．“Even though OECD Japan announced it in Japanese, Japanese media didn’t make it into the articles．”

Abe says new Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama has taken one important step to help alleviate

（缓解） the problem．Next year, his Democratic Party of Japan plans to double monthly child care allowances given to families．

But Abe wants the government to expand its financial help even more．She wants it to simplify

the process to apply for public assistance and provide educational grants for students struggling to pay for tuition at high schools and colleges．The country now only offers loans．

Abe also says the government must act quickly because she says the problem will only get

worse in the next few years．

1.The passage is intended to _______．

A．report the result of the studies conducted by OECD

B．tell us about the increase in Japanese child poverty

C．prove that Japan is no longer a developed country

D．introduce Aya Abe, a senior government researcher

2.It seems to be hard to associate Japan with poverty because _______．

A．no children are seen begging in the streets of main cities in Japan

B．its citizens never complain about the country’s economic decline

C．it is one of the few wealthiest countries in the world

D．its government and public refused to acknowledge it

3.According to Abe, several things contribute to the rising child poverty except_______．

A．high social security premiums

B．the increase of the number of single mothers

C．the decrease of the salary for young fathers

D．the expansion of three-generation households

4.Why was it unpopular for Japanese media to say anything about Japanese poverty?

A．The Japanese public didn’t think it true．

B．It was forbidden by the Japanese government．

C．The Japanese public regarded it shameful to be poor．

D．OECD Japan had already announced it in Japanese．

5.Which of the following is NOT the author’s suggestion for alleviating this problem?

A．Doubling monthly child care allowances given to families．

B．Expanding government’s financial help even more．

C．Providing educational grants for poor students．

D．Simplifying the process to apply for public assistance．
