Feedback is regarded as an essential component of a successful business culture. Used correctly, it can improve performance and teamwork. In a recent study, researchers from the Max Planck Institute for Human Development and the IESE Business School in Barcelona examined which type of feedback tended to lead to cooperative behaviors and which to competitive behaviors. To this end, 112 students of different subjects and 28 managers, all of whom had at least seven years of professional experience, were invited to participate in a laboratory experiment.
Groups of four participants played variants （变体）of a classic public goods game. Each player was given a fixed number of points to invest per round. During the time of the ten rounds, they were required to decide how many points they wanted to invest in a group project and how many in their own individual project. The rewards for cooperative behavior differed across the two experimental scenarios （方案），impacting participants, scores and finally how much money they were paid. In the first scenario, cooperative behavior on average led to a better score for the group, but to a worse score on the personal level. In the second scenario, cooperation paid off for both the group and the individual. Uncooperative behavior not only reduced the overall score, but also harmed the other players more than it did the participants themselves. After each round, the participants received feedback—either just on their own performance (individualistic feedback) or additional feedback on the performance of the group as a whole (joint outcome feedback) or on how they ranked relative to the other players (ranking feedback).
The results showed that the type of feedback received had a significant impact on participants' views of the scenario and on whether they behaved cooperatively or competitively. Participants who were given individual feedback behaved cooperatively in the cooperative scenario and increasingly selfishly in the competitive scenario over the rounds played. Participants who were given feedback on the performance of the group as a whole were generally interested in maintaining cooperation, regardless of the scenario.
1.What does the study try to find out?
A.What can improve employees' performance and teamwork.
B.What professional feedback is needed to inspire employees.
C.How the professional experience inspire teamwork among employees.
D.How different types of feedback impact interactions among employees.
2.What were the participants asked to do in the game?
A.Find at least two partners.
B.Play it more than ten rounds.
C.Set up and invest their own projects.
D.Invest every round with given points.
3.What did the participants get when they worked individually in scenario two?
A.A better score for the group but a worse for individuals.
B.A worse score for the group and more harm to others.
C.A worse score for the group but a better for individuals.
D.A worse score for the group and more harm to themselves.
4.What is probably discussed in the following text?
A.How different scenarios reward participants.
B.How participants given ranking feedback behaved.
C.How participants given individual feedback behaved.
D.How participants given joint outcome feedback behaved.

In many parts of the world cars play an essential role in daily life and many societies would stop to function without them. So the claim that in 20 years’ time no one will own cars may be hard to believe. But this is the prediction made by a team of transport researchers who are taken seriously not only by governments but also by car manufacturers.
The Human Science and Advanced Technology Institute at Loughborough in the UK is part of an international research program. The team there believes that by 2020 all cars will be computerized, which will mean extremely large fuel savings, no accidents and better use of roads. The super-intelligent car of the 21st century will drive itself and it will not be owned by on individual. Instead, we will have a choice of cars and change them as frequently as we change our clothing.
According to Dr. David Davis, who leads the research team, these predictions are based on the rising cost of the car culture ,which had blocked up our cities, polluted our air and caused more deaths than both world wars put together.
Davis says cars will be fitted with intelligent cruise control devices to regulate the distance between one car and another. Brakes and accelerators (加速器) will become redundant（多余的） because the car will automatically speed up or slow down to match the speed of the car in front. Computers are much safer drivers than people, so cars in a road train will be able to drive much closer together than cars driven by people.
By 2010 Dr. David Davis believes car technology will give motorists a clear view of the road whatever the weather conditions by projecting an image of the road ahead onto the car’s windscreen. And by 2020 cars will travel in convoy linked to each other electronically. Cars will be connected by an electronic tow(牵引) bar to the car in front to form “road-trains”. “The front vehicle in such a train burns the ordinary fuel” says Davis. “But all the others in the train would burn about ten percent of the normal amount and so produce about ten percent of the pollution.
1.We know from the passage that governments and car manufactures ________.
A. don’t believe the prediction that no one will own cars by 2020.
B. are devoted to the technological innovation (创新) in car industry.
C. consider the predictions made by the researchers seriously.
D. have put the super-intelligent car into mass production.
2.Which of the following will NOT be the characteristics of the cars of 2020 ?
A. There will be no brake and accelerator in cars.
B. We will own as many cars as we want .
C. All cars will be driven by computers.
D. Car accident will no longer happen.
3.The expression closest in meaning to the underlined phrase “ in convoy”(Para 5) is ______.
A. in line B. sidelong C. side by side D. next to one another
4.What will happen if cars are linked to each other electronically in 2020 ?
A. Motorists will get a clear view of the road.
B. The weather conditions won’t have effect on motorists.
C. There will be a decrease in the pollution caused by car .
D.All trains will burn less fuel than present.
