    5 All managers need to understand the importance of motivation in the workplace.

    Required:

    (a) Explain the ‘content theory’ of motivation. (5 marks)


    正确答案:
    5 The way in which managers treat their employees can significantly influence the satisfaction that the employees derive from their work and thus the overall success of the organisation. Understanding the importance of motivation is therefore an important management skill.
    (a) Content theories address the question ‘What are the things that motivate people?’
    Content theories are also called need theories (because they concentrate on the needs fulfilled by work) and are based on the notion that all human beings have a set of needs or required outcomes, and according to this theory, these needs can be satisfied through work. The theory focuses on what arouses, maintains and regulates good, directed behaviour and what specific individual forces motivate people. However, content theories assume that everyone responds to motivating factors in the same way and that consequently there is one, best way to motivate everybody.

    正确答案:

    January 20th, 2007

    Dear Sir or Madam,
      I’m a student in the university and a loyal reader of this library. I’m writing to tell some of my ideas, which I hope to be helpful for you.
      I notice that many magazines in our library are out of date. It would be beneficial to us students if they could be updated in time. And I suggest introducing some new journals so as to bring new fresh air to the library. Furthermore, since we have a huge number of books, it is not easy to find the right one easily. However, if we can introduce some new searching means, such as implementing new information management system that would be useful.
      Thank you for taking time reading this letter and I’m looking forward to seeing some new changes soon.

    Sincerely Yours,
    Li Ming

  • 第4题:

    To learn an instrument such as the violin or accordion (手风琴) takes years. The job opportunities for musicians are scarce and competition is fierce. Then why are more people than ever before paying a lot of good cash to get their children the best music teaching they can afford?
    The secret lies in the influence of music on the whole person. It has been found that learning a musical instrument actually increases a person′s IQ over time. Different instruments and different types of music have varying effect, with classical music and the string family coming out on top, potentially increasing your IQ by up to 12 points!
    When is a good time to start learning music? Experts have found that even the fetus (胎儿) can benefit from listening to classical music. Surround yourself and your family with good music from the first. The Suzuki Piano Method teaches children from the age of 3 years piano, with two lessons per week. From preschool, children can learn to read music and play from sheet music. Progress in learning your instrument is directly proportional (成比例的) to the amount of practicing.
    Is there such a thing as an unmusical child? Shiniehi Suzuki proposes that music is the native home language of all human beings and therefore nobody can be "unmusical". Of course there are exceptional talents, compared to which others may seem to be slower learners.
    Is there any benefit for adults in starting an instrument? Apart from the purely relaxing aspect, yes. Learning an instrument can earn even adults additional IQ points, and as an added benefit in improves your health by reducing your stress levels. Your social life may benefit too, if you are prepared to come out of your box and join occasions such as Ceilidhs (musical get together) or arrange house concerts. It has been established that people who play instruments tend to be more emotionally balanced and more patient with themselves, others and life in general.
    So go ahead, sign up for that amateur orchestra, dust off your old trombone (长号) or take your first real six-string down from the attic (阁楼); get out there and play!
    According to Shinichi Suzuki, ___________.

    A.the progress in learning an instrument depends on natural gifts
    B.it is too late for an adult to start an instrument
    C.every child has a natural talent for music
    D.all people can understand and read music

    答案:C

    问答题
    Some people say that the best preparation for life is learning to be cooperative. Others take the opposite view and say that learning to be competitive is the best preparation. Write a composition of about 400 words on the following topic,expressing your views on cooperation and competition. COOPERATION OR COMPETITION  In the first part of your writing you should present your thesis statement, and in the second part you should support the thesis statement with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.  Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.

    正确答案:
    COOPERATION OR COMPETITION It is difficult to figure out whether cooperation or competition is more important. Although cooperation is widely emphasized in the world, competition, I believe, still plays an essential part in people's lives. Learning to be competitive is clearly the best preparation for life. This becomes very clear as one has more experience in the world. Everyone is out to make their own lives better. If you are not competitive, you may lose many chances and be left behind.
    In the first place, everyone knows that Man is by nature a competitive, aggressive, and selfish animal. This is why Man can dominant the world, even though Man is not the strongest species. Darwin, in The Origin of the Species, makes it very clear that the weak will die, and only the strong will survive. Since this is our fate, the only intelligent thing to do is to be strong, and be a winner.
    Competition exists in almost every field. In the business world, for instance, everyone knows that the most important order of the day is to beat your competitors. This can only be done by competing with any and all means necessary to win. If your product is not competitive, you can not obtain the trust of customers. No one wants to go out of business, so you must compete. Also in your workplace, you must be better than the other employees you are working with, because in this age of downsizing you do not want to be fired. Likewise, in the sports world, the strongest will come out as winners. They become our heroes and they are glorified in every way. In fact, the only way our world rewards people is to give trophies to the winners, not to the losers. Only the winner will be remembered. Everyone wants glory in life and learning to be competitive is the only path to glory.
    Therefore, the only way to survive in this world is to be competitive. To learn to cooperate is a ridiculous way to live one' s life. In fact, I know that when I wish to beat someone who is weaker willed than, I would use his foolish cooperative actions against him in the end.
    解析:

    Your class has recently had a discussion about learning a foreign language. For homework, your teacher has asked you to write a composition of no fewer than 120 words, giving your opinion about the following statement:  The best way to learn a foreign language is to study it in the country where it is spoken.  Please write your composition on the Answer Sheet.

    正确答案:
    The Best Way to Learn a Foreign LanguageWe have had a discussion about whether the best way to learn a foreign language is to study it in the country where it is spoken in class recently. Some of my classmates believe that to study the language in the country where it is spoken is the best way to learn a foreign language. And some think going abroad is not necessary the best way to learn a foreign language. In my opinion, the best way to learn a foreign language is to study it in an environment of that language. And it does not matter whether we go to the country where it is spoken or not yet.
    First of all, a foreign language environment is very important in language learning. If we have a friend who speaks that language we want to learn as his or her mother tongue, it will be effective in language learning through chatting with him or her in that language. Learning a foreign language conversationally can help us improve our listening and comprehensive competences as well as our oral language in the same time.
    Second, we can build a foreign language environment even if we are not living in the country where the language is spoken. Making a foreign friend is a good way. Besides, joining a salon of that language and chatting with other foreign language learners in that foreign language and participating in various activities about language learning are all useful in building a foreign language environment. And there are many fairly good language software programs and language learning websites on line, which we can have an access to them easily.
    In a word, the best way to learn a foreign language is not definitely to study the language in the country where it is spoken. Instead, it is to build a foreign language environment around us and make great efforts in language learning.

    问答题
    Practice 4  Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below.  A sense of happiness and fulfillment, not personal gain, is the best motivation and reward for one’s achievements. Expecting a reward of wealth or recognition for achieving a goal can lead to disappointment and frustration. If we want to be happy in what we do in life, we should not seek achievement for the sake of winning wealth and fame. The personal satisfaction of a job well done is its own reward.  Assignment: Are people motivated to achieve by personal satisfaction rather than by money or fame? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

    正确答案: 【参考范文】
    People are motivated by anything with which they equate the increasing of personal satisfaction, and this includes the incentives: money and fame. It would be a great oversight to assume that the two are substitutes for personal satisfaction, but fortune and glory need not be mutually exclusive from individual contentment. Rather, each person possesses a unique standard for achievement; some may strive to succeed in order to gain recognition, or to amass wealth, while others perform accomplishments in order to help the poor or needy, or to give back to society. Regardless of what the motivation is, every human action is aimed at increasing personal satisfaction.
    According to the prompt, one ought to seek contentment through achievements without expecting external benefits or recognition, but this theory does not acknowledge the fact that many people in modern (and in past) societies associate fulfillment with the acquirement of material goods and prominence. Materialism and narcissism are behaviors that, when pervasive throughout a society, may erode social fabric and the spirit of humanity in communities. But the desire to achieve success so as to gain riches or fame does not necessarily need to be destructive, nor detrimental to the general population.
    Take for example, Donald Trump—real estate tycoon, billionaire, reality-TV star, twice- divorced family man, published author, and many more titles. He began his career as a real estate developer in his father’s company after graduating from the Wharton School of Business, and successfully created a legacy that his son and daughter are continuing. Trump has been a billionaire since 2007, and his role on the reality TV show “The Apprentice” has increased his fame around the world. In his interviews and publications, Trump gives no indication of regretting his pursuit of fortune and glory, nor does he show any sign of slowing down the growth of the Trump empire. Contrary to what the prompt indicates, personal satisfaction may be intimately tied to the achievement of financial surplus and prestige. That is, thousands of people are motivated by money and fame, but for some, personal satisfaction is unattainable without the two because they believe that their happiness will be derived from reputation or treasure.
    History is ripe with examples of every kind of motivator—fame, wealth, knowledge, peace, love, safety, etc. Alexander the Great pursued fame and power, President Roosevelt advocated international peace and domestic prosperity and Mother Theresa worked to improve children’s lives. But as Aristotle explained his Ethics, the pursuit of the “good” is wide and varied. Each man may believe that how he lives is the right path to achieving personal happiness. The banker believes he needs money to be happy, while the teacher finds disseminating knowledge to be fulfilling. Regardless of whether a path is correct or wrong, every person is motivated by the common factor of personal satisfaction.

  • 第17题:

    资料:Did your child's brain shrink last summer? Probably not, but it may have shifted into reverse, according to a study by Dr. Harris Cooper, professor of psychology at the University of Missouri-Columbia. The study found that when students return to school after a long summer vacation, they've lost one to three months worth of learning.
    The decline is more detrimental for math than it is for reading. "All students lose math skills," says Cooper. It may be because community and home environments give kids more opportunities to practice reading than math. The study also found that income has an impact on how much a student loses or gains in reading. Middle-class children actually gained in reading over the summer, while lower-income students experienced losses. Cooper attributes this to the enrichment activities that many middle-class kids participate in over the summer, such as camp and trips.
    Your kids don't have to spend the summer stuck in reverse. "Parents can help their kids retain educational skills," says Cooper. He suggests the following five tips to kick off a learning-filled summer.
    1. Keep lots of books around and make regular trips to the library. Most libraries schedule special summer events for kids. Sign up your family!
    2. Think about what your kids may be learning next year when you plan the family vacation. Talk with teachers to find out what they'll be covering in class. If it's a unit on the civil war for example, you may want to schedule a visit to Gettysburg. If it's geology, visit a national park.
    3. Keep math in mind. Since kids lose more math skills than anything else over the summer, try to do some special planning to find math-related activities. For example, if you can't decide whether to sign your child up for "Shakespeare's Theater" or "Math Magic" at the local community center, go with the math.
    4. Consider summer school or tutoring. Struggling kids can get a lot of different kinds of help from these programs. Summer school can also enrich and accelerate learning in areas where kids show a special interest.
    5. Call the curriculum coordinator in your child's school district, visit the school board office, or contact the schools of education at local colleges and universities to find out what educational programs will be offered in your area over the summer.
    Remember to keep it fun! You don't want to sour your kids on learning during the summer break.

    How dose income affect a student’s loses or gains in summer learning? ( )

    A.Lower-income children experienced lose in math over the summer
    B.Middle-class children gained in learning over the summer
    C.Lower-income children gained in math over the summer
    D.Middle-class children suffered lose in math over the summer

    The following comment was printed recently in a local newspaper:  Much of what is taught in schools nowadays is a waste of students’ time.  Your teacher has asked you to write a composition on this subject, with reference to your own learning experiences. Write your composition of no fewer than 120 words on the answer sheet. Do not write any addresses.

    正确答案:
    Education in SchoolRecently, I read a comment in a newspaper, saying, much of what is taught in schools nowadays is a waste of students’ time. At that time, I was shocked. As a matter of fact, I admitted that there are some problems of modern education, however, I hold that what we learn in school is a necessary part of one’s education and school education benefits us a lot.
    Firstly, there are so many knowledgeable tutors and professors there guiding us. They lead us into the house of knowledge and impart us the rules of life. School is the best place for us to absorb knowledge. I believe most of what we learn comes from schools.
    Secondly, if you want to go deep in a certain field, you have to receive formal education in school, which is the learning place systematically organized. Scientists or profound professors must high degrees, or they can hardly burden their responsibilities.
    Last but not the least, what we learn in school can guide us in social practice. There is a saying that theory comes from practice and has more importance than practice. Therefore, school education plays a great role in our learning and future career.
    All in all, it is not a waste of time for us to receive school education but a precious experience in our life.

    Proposal on how to turn classroom training into workplace learning As requested by the CEO, I am submitting this report to the management for consideration. The purpose of this report is to summarize the key factors in making effective learning cycle.
    Our company will provide overall training programmes, aiming at improving staff’s performance. However, classroom training does not always turn into valuable learning. As everyone knows, we can acquire much of the knowledge needed for effective job performance through practical experience, instead of from specific training programmes. Based on the statistics, it is unlikely that trainees on a typical corporate training programme apply more than 3 per cent of what they have learnt to their work. Most people cannot remember at least 10 per cent of what they have learned within a week of receiving training.
    How do we ensure that professional training work for the employees, administrative staff and company alike? As far as I am concerned, the following key factors need to be taken into account:
    Objectives: Trainees should have clear objectives. When trainees have clear objectives to achieve in all training programmes they are more likely to learn effectively and gain the competences they need.
    Practice: Trainees should have the chance to experiment with different ways of doing things, observe how others do their jobs, try new skills and get specific feedback on their performance.
    Application: Trainees should be capable of applying what they have learned to real work situations and evaluate the consequences, according to the insights they have acquired in the goal-setting and training.
    Attitude: Employees should adopt a positive and mature approach, with practical expectations about what the training programmes can achieve. The employees should be instructed to realize the long-term value of training and motivated to take ownership of the learning process.
