There exists, among teenagers and youngsters, a hot debate on the importance of motivation
andmethodsinlearning.Frommyperspective,itismotivationandmethodsthatprovetobemore
crucialthanstudyitself.
Quite a few factors, as a matter of fact, could account for my opinion. the primary factor is
that motivation can make us brave in front of difficulties. If we desire to complete heavy tasks
smoothly, it is motivation that would make us be confronted with troubles without fear. One of
Chinese famous scientists, Tuyouyou, is a good case in point. Before she became the top man
known to all, she had failed thousands of times. Without motivation,she might got nothing.
Besides, proper methods are also crucial because right ways enable you to attain what you want
rapidlyandeffectively.Themoreefficientlyyoustudy,thegreatersuccessyouwillachieve.
In a word, motivation and methods play a vital role in the study of youngsters. So parents

It is quite a few causes that could account for my argument. First and foremost, migrant

opporunities in cities such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen, making their chilren enjoy better
education there. In addition, Thanks to the refrom and opening policy, there are an increasing

The “American Dream” promises that in the Land of Opportunity, any individual can climb
the economic ladder and prosper through hard work and ambition alone. And yet, young
Americans today are struggling to earn more than their parents did at the same age, and upward
mobilityintheUSactuallycomparesunfavourablytothatofotherindustrialisednations.
So why does the idea of the American Dream persist? A new study in the American Journal
ofPoliticalScienceidentifiesonefactorthathasbeenoverlooked:theinfluenceofrealityTV.
Reality shows have come to dominate US television over the past 20 years, notes Eunji Kim
from Vanderbilt University. And the overwhelming majority of these have
a“rags-to-riches”storyline: they feature ordinary Americans who work hard to achieve great
economic success. And while these programmes are regularly among the most-watched shows,
newsbroadcasts—whichpaintamorerealisticviewoftheeconomichardshipfacedbymillionsof
Americans—getamuchsmallerproportionoftheviewership.
Rags-to-riches stories are ubiquitous(无处不在的) on TV—but does watching these
programmes actually convince people that economic mobility is easily attainable? To find out,
Kim’s team had participants watch a 5-minute clip from a reality show with a rags-to-riches
storyline. Control participantswatched a clip from a reality show thatdidn’thave a rags-to-riches
story. After watching the shows, participants rated how much they agreed with four statements
relatingtotheAmericanDream.
The results showed that those who'd watched a rags-to-riches clip did indeed have a
significantly greater belief in the American Dream. Interestingly, when participants were
separated by party affiliation, this effect was significant among Republicans but not Democrats,
suggesting that the kind of messages implicit in these TV shows may play into people’s existing
socioeconomicbeliefs.
Kimalsoconductedasurveyof3,000USresidents.Theyalsoratedtheextenttowhichthey
believedsuccessinlifeisrelatedtovariousinternalfactors(suchasambition)andexternalfactors
(such as family wealth). Finally, they read a list of TV programmes and indicated which they
regularlywatched.
Participantswhowereheavyviewersofrags-to-richesprogrammesorfrequentviewershada
strongerbeliefintheAmericanDreamthanthosewhoneverwatchedsuchshows.
Kim concludes that “rags-to-riches entertainment media are an important cultural force that
promotes and perpetuates beliefs in upward mobility”. And here's the problem: if people
mistakenly believe that hard work is all that is needed for individuals to make a better life for
themselves,theymaybelesssupportiveofpoliciesthatcouldactuallycombatinequality.
“Inthiseraofchoice,entertainmentmediaarewhatcapturesheartsandminds,”Kimwrites.
“Itspoliticalconsequencesareanythingbuttrivial”.

It is irrefutable that employees know the difference between right and wrong. So why don’t
moreemployeesintervenewhentheyseesomeoneexhibitingat-riskbehaviorintheworkplace?
There are a number of factors that influence whether people intervene. First, they need to be
able to see a risky situation beginning to unfold. Second, the company’s culture needs to make
them feel safe to speak up. And third, they need to have the communication skills to say
somethingeffectively.
This is not strictly a workplace problem; it's a growing problem off the job too. Every day
people witness things on the street and choose to stand idly by. This is known as the bystander
effect—the more people who witness an event, the less likely anyone in that group is to help the
victim. The psychology behind this is called diffusion of responsibility. Basically, the larger the
crowd,themorepeopleassumethatsomeoneelsewilltakecareofit—meaningnooneeffectively

operations, this happens less than half of the time. Fear is the ultimate factor in not intervening.
There isa fear of penalty, a fear thatthey'll have to domore work if they intervene.Unsuccessful
attempts in the past are another strong contributing factor to why people don’t intervene—they
tendtoprefertodeferthatactiontosomeoneelseforallfuturesituations.
On many worksites, competent workers must be appointed. Part of their job is to intervene
when workers perform a task without the proper equipment or if the conditions are unsafe.
Competentworkersarealsorequiredtostopworkfromcontinuingwhenthere’sadanger.
Supervisors also play a critical role. Even if a competent person isn’t required, supervisors
need a broad set of skills to not only identify and alleviate workplace hazards but also build a
safetyclimatewithintheirteamthatsupportsinterveningandopencommunicationamongthem.
Beyond competent workers and supervisors, it’s important to educate everyone within the
organization that they are obliged to intervene if they witness a possible unsafe act, whether

Theproblemwithbeingperfect
36.Socially prescribed perfectionism is described as one's self-esteem
depending on other people'sopinion.
E)Curran describes socially prescribed perfectionism as "My self-esteem is
contingent on what otherpeoplethink."Hisstudydidn'texaminethecausalreasonsforits
rise,butheassumesthattheriseofbothstandardizedtestingandsocialmediamightplayarole.

focus on self-interest and competition in a supposedly free andopen
marketplace.”
37.JessicaPryorhas learnedthat some graduate studentswork such longhours inthe
labthattheyhavelittle time for entertainment or socializing.
A)When psychologist Jessica Pryor lived near an internationally renowned university, she once
sawa studentwalkingintoalibraryholdingasleepingbagandacoffeemaker.Shehasheardof
graduate students spending 12 to 18 hours at a time in the lab. Their
schedules are meant to be literally punishing:Iftheyarescientists-in-training,theywon't
allow themselves to watch Netflix until their experiments start generating results. “Relationships
become estranged (疏远的)—people stop inviting them to social gatherings or dinner parties,
whichleadsthemtospendevenmoretimeinthelab,"Pryortoldme.
38.The author believes perfectionism may sometimes be constructive.
F)Perfectionism can, of course, be a positive force. Think of
professional athletes, who train aggressively for ever-higher levels of
competition. In well-adjusted perfectionism, someone whodoesn'tgetthegoldisableto
forget the setback and move on. In maladaptive(不当的)perfectionism, meanwhile, people
make an archive of all their failures. They revisit these archives constantly,
thinking,as Pryor puts it,"I need to make myself feel terrible so I don't do this
again."Then they double down,"raising the expectation bar even higher, which
increases the likelihood of defeat, which makes you self-critical, so you raise the bar

higher,workevenharder,"shesay
39. It is found that perfectionism is getting more and more prevalent among college
students.
C)What's more, perfectionism seems to be on the rise. In a study of thousands of American,
Canadian, and British college students published earlier this year, Thomas Curran of the
University of Bath and Andrew Hill of York St. John University found that today's college
students report higher levels of perfectionism than college students did during the 1990s or early
2000s. They measured three types of perfectionism; self-oriented, or a desire to be perfect;
socially prescribed, or a desire to live up to others' expectations; and other-oriented, or
holding others to unrealistic standards. From 1989 to2016, theyfound,self-oriented
perfectionism scores increased by 10 percent, socially prescribed scores rose by 33 percent, and
other-orientedperfectionismincreasedby16percent.
40.Some experts suggest parents and educators should prepare students for
failures.
H)While educators and parents have successfully convinced students of the need to be high
performing and diligent, the experts told me, they haven't adequately prepared
them for the inevitability of failure. Instead of praises like"You're so smart," parents and
educators should say things like“You really stuck with it,”Pryor says, to emphasize the value of
perseverance over intrinsic talent. Pryor notes that many of her clients are wary she'll"turn them
into some degenerate couch potato and teach them to be okay with it."Instead, she tries to help
themthinkthroughthepartsoftheirperfectionismthey'dliketokeep,andtolosethepartsthatare

41. Sometherapistswarnthatyoung adultstendtopursueperfection intheirwork.
B)Along with other therapists, Pryor, who is now with the Family Institute at Northwestern
University, is trying to sound the alarm about a tendency among young adults and college

42. Psychologist Amy Bach encourages her students to aim high but be content with
something lessthanperfect.
I ) Bach, who sees many students from Brown University, says some of them
don't even go out on weekends, let aloneweekdays. She tells them,"Aim high, but get
comfortable with good enough." When they don't get some award, she encourages them to
remember that "one outcome is not a basis for a broad conclusion about the person's intelligence,
qualifications,orpotentialforthefuture."
43.A clinical psychologist finds perfectionism is widespread among his clients.
E)........Westriveforperfection,itseems,becausewefeelwemustinordertogetahead.Michael
Brustein,aclinicalpsychologistinManhattan,sayswhenhefirstbeganpracticingin2007,hewas

entrepreneurs, artists, and tech employees."You're in New York because you're ambitious, you
havethisneedtostrive,"hesays."Butthenyourwholeidentitygetswrappedintoagoal."
44.In trying to overcome perfectionism, some people are still pursuing
perfection.
K)Brusteinlikestogethisperfectionistclientstocreatevaluesthatareimportanttothem,thentry
to shift theirfocus to living according to those values rather than achieving specific goals. It's a
play on the "You really stuck with it" message for kids. In other words, it
isn't about doing a headstand inyogaclass;it'saboutgoingtoyogaclassinthefirstplace,
becauseyouliketobethekindofpersonwho takes care ofherself. But he warns that
some people go into therapy expecting too much—an instant transformation of
themselves from a pathological ( 病 态 的 ) perfectionist to a (still high- achieving)
non-perfectionist. They try to be perfect, in other words, at no longer being
perfect.
45.In pursuing perfection, some perfectionists fail to complete their tasks on
time.
G)Brusteinsayshis perfectionistclientstendtodevaluetheiraccomplishments,sothateverytime
a goal is achieved, the high lasts only a short time, like "a gas tank with a hole in it."If the boss
says you did a great job, it's because he doesn't know anything. If the audience likes your work,
that's because it's too stupid to know what good art actually is. But, therapists
say, there are also different ways perfectionism manifests. Some perfectionists
are always pushing themselves forward. But others actually fall behind on work,
unable to complete assignments unless they are, well, perfect. Or they might handicap their
performanceaheadoftime.They'retheonespartyinguntil2a.m.thenightbeforethefinal,sothat
