To be successful in any aspect of life, you need to know when to use the carrot or the stick.

Here are a few tips to help you decide whether it’s better to use the carrot or the stick.

1

With the kids The carrot

When it comes to raising a kid, the carrot or the stick dilemma is quickly

舒中高一英语 第1页 (共8页)

disappearing as too many parents take the carrot approach to the extreme. In child raising, the carrot should never be materialistic things. If you want to ask for good behavior with a reward, it should be with something that can’t be bought, say, trust.

The stick

Nowadays, no one likes to use the stick any more, or in my father’s case, the belt. I’m not overlooking child abuse, if you ever want to call it that, but I am encouraging parents to toughen up a bit. You don’t want your kid to test your limits only to find out he can get away with it. If you want to raise a kid, raise the hand and let him know it comes down on the second offense.

At the office The carrot

People need encouragement and motivation to perform well. However, the carrot only really works well with employees who have already proved themselves. If you’ve got someone who can’t show up at the office before noon, the promise of a raise isn’t going to do much. On the contrary, if there’s a guy with a good work moral, he’ll thrive (grow stronger) when you add a promotion to the picture.

The stick

When considering the carrot or the stick in the office, remember that, overall, the stick is the more practical method in the office. A wise man, who just happened to be an Italian, once said “It’s best to be both loved and feared.” It’s nice to have everyone love you, but running a business isn’t like running a family. You need to have the stick constantly raised.

With the wife The carrot

When it comes to marriage, always use the carrot. I’ve had a lovely marriage for many years, and I’ve always stuck to the carrot approach.

Sometimes you catch more flies with honey, and sometimes it’s the crack of a whip (鞭子) that gets the horse moving. Try not to use too many sticks at home; the carrot is much more fun.

4. What is the best title of this passage? A. The Carrot or the Stick?

B. The Introduction to the Carrot and the Stick C. Tips in the Daily Life

D. The Advantages of the Carrot and the Stick

5. According to the passage, the author’s father_______.

2

A. often abused him in his childhood. B. applied the Stick in raising the child. C. beat him a lot with a belt. D. overlooked child abuse

6. Which do you think is the best to be a good boss at the office? A. Always using carrots. B. Eating a lot of carrots. C. Being both loved and feared. D. Using too many sticks.

7. Which is NOT true according to the passage?

A. The author often gives more carrots to his wife to eat at home. B. The carrot is much more fun when it comes to marriage. C. On different occasions, the carrot or the stick is effective. D. You need the stick to get your horses to move faster occasionally.

C

Helen Thomas, the pioneering White House reporter known for putting presidents on the hot seat, died at 92.

To those who regularly watch presidential press conferences, Helen Thomas is a familiar figure. Usually dressed in red and always seated in the front row, she is always the first or second reporter the president calls upon. It is an honor she has earned. Besides, it affords her the perfect opportunity to do what she does best-challenge the president and other public officials to tell the plain truth. She said, “We reporters’ priority (首要事情) is the people’s right to know- without fear or favor. We are the people’s servants.”

Helen Thomas was born in Kentucky in 1920. All the nine Thomas children were brought up to value education, and all were expected to make something of themselves through working hard. She made up her mind while still in high school to become a reporter after writing for the student newspaper. After receiving her bachelor’s degree in 1942, Thomas headed straight for Washington, D. C. in search of a newspaper job. Before long, she landed one at Washington Daily News. Her duty included fetching coffee and doughnuts for the paper’s reporters and editors. The eager young woman found the atmosphere exciting and was convinced she had made the right career choice.

Her big break came when she was sent to Florida to report on the vacation of President-elect John F. Kennedy and his family. Once President Kennedy took office, Thomas changed her focus from the president’s family to his policies. She began attending the daily press briefings at the White House as well as presidential press conferences. Thomas has covered every president since Kennedy. Over the years. Thomas found her job “thrilling and inspiring”, but never boring. And she took

3

very seriously her duty to “keep an eye on the president” and keep American people informed.

8. What can we learn about Helen Thomas from the passage? A. Her career took off after covering the Kennedys. B. Her first job was to deliver doughnuts to a news agency. C. She was born to a large family in Kentucky in 1942. D. She decided to be a reporter while in college. 9. Paragraph 3 is written to show Helen Thomas________.

舒中高一英语 第3页 (共8页)

A. is always a good decision maker B. appreciates education and hard work C. wants to be famous by writing reports D. has great support from her family 10. What does Helen Thomas think of her work? A. unbearable.

B. exciting. C.

challenging. D. unforgettable. 11. What can be the best title for the text? A. A Reporter Sticking to the Facts B. A Reporter Challenging President Kennedy C. A Reporter from an Ordinary Family D. A Reporter for Washington Daily

D

I left university with a good degree in English Literature, but no sense of what I wanted to do. Over the next six years, I was treading water, just trying to earn an income, I tried journalism, but I didn’t think I was any good, then finance, which I hated. Finally, I got a job as a rights assistant at a famous publisher. I loved working with books, although the job that I did was dull.

I had enough savings to take a year off work, and I decided to try to satisfy a deep-down wish to write a novel. Attending a Novel writing MA course gave me the structure I needed to write my first 55, 000 words.

It takes confidence to make a new start---there’s a dark period in --- between where you’re neither one thing nor the other. You’re out for dinner and people ask what you do, and you’re too ashamed to say, “Well, I’m writing a novel, but I’m not quite sure if I’m going to get there.” My confidence dived. Believing my novel could not be published, I put it aside.

Then I met an agent who said I should send my novel out to agents. So, I did and, to my surprise, got some wonderful feedback. I felt a little hope that I might actually become a published writer and, after signing with an agent, I finished the second half of the novel.

4

The next problem was finding a publisher. After two and a half years of no income, just waiting and wondering, a publisher offered me a book deal – that publisher turned out to be the one I once worked for.

It feels like an unbelievable stroke of luck --- of fate, really. When you set out to do something different, there’s no end in sight, so to find myself in a position where I now have my own name on a contract of the publisher- to be a published writer --- is unbelievably rewarding.

12. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean? A. I was waiting for good fortune. B. I was trying to find an admirable job. C. I was being aimless about a suitable job. D. I was doing several jobs for more pay at a time. 13. The author decided to write a novel _____.

A. to finish the writing course to realize her own dream

C. to satisfy readers’ wish

D. to earn more money

A. Disturbed.

B. Ashamed

C.

14. How did the writer feel halfway with the novel? Confident. D. Uncertain.

15. What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph? A. It pays to stick to one’s goal. B. Hard work can lead to success.

C. It feels like being unexpectedly lucky.

D. There is no end in sight when starting to do something. 第二节（共五小题，每小题2分，共10分）
