upon people, often children or students, the better they perform.How about the theory in the workplace？Prof.Dov Eden from Tel Aviv Universitys Faculty of Management，conducted some experiments.In one of Prof.Edens experiments，he divided bank branch managers into two groups.One group of managers was told that their employees were preeminent;_the other group was told nothing about their employees performance potential.When Prof.Eden analyzed performance results, he found a significant difference between the branches.There had been no preexisting differences between the employees, but the branch managers，who were led to expect more, got more their branches scored higher in terms of profitability (收益)and overall economic success.His findings confirm that the “Pygmalion Effect” can be created among leaders and subordinates(下属)Subordinates get a 3to1 boost(增强)in their performance success rate if their leader expects more from them, says Prof.Eden.“Success” is determined by many related factors, such as completing a course，a performance rating on the job，or grades in a training program.But “if a leader has high expectations, it doesnt mean that a subordinate will perform three times as well, ”Prof.Eden says.“It means that he or she will have a three times greater chance of being aboveaverage.”Study results indicate that when a manager expects a lot from an employee, the managers leadership style changes and subsequently boosts the employees selfconfidence.The Pygmalion research expands based on studies of the “experimenter effect” in the 1960s, the notion that an investigator can unintentionally influence the outcome of an experiment in significant ways.语篇解读：本文向我们介绍了一个“皮格马利翁效应”的实验。1Prof.Edens experiments prove that _.Ahigh expectations can lead to good

cowritten by William Shakespeare more than a century earlier.Professor Brean Hammond of Nottingham University said the respected Arden Shakespeare publishers attributed it to Shakespeare and released it in print on March 22,2010.Its appearance, and the attribution to Shakespeare, is likely to arouse another round of scholarly debate.The debate is over what the Englishspeaking worlds most famous and influential playwriter wrote and what was falsely attributed to him.For Hammond，the publication of the play was the peak of years of research.“I started working on it in the 1980s and wrote a couple of articles on the play，”he said.Theobald always claimed his play was based on a lost version by Shakespeare that was in turn based on the story of Cardenio, taken from the novel Don Quixote, by Spanish author Miguel de Cervantes.Hammond said modern scholarship had established that the early work, performed in 1613, was cowritten by Shakespeare and John Fletcher.Theobald then largely reworked and cut it, meaning the presence of three hands in the present version.“Shakespeare wrote most of the first half(of the original) and Fletcher wrote most of the second half you could detect a new hand from the style of writing，” Hammond said.Theobalds work, a story of love and betrayal, was popular with 18thcentury audiences, but the writer was widely considered as a cheat for claiming he had used the words of Shakespeare.“The play has been rubbished in the past，” Hammond said.“It did have a successful theatrical run when it came out，but soon after people began asking questions and thought that it was not a singleauthor play by Shakespeare and we know that its not.”That interpretation became widely accepted and the play was widely accessible for the first time in nearly 300 years.“Whats_left_in_it_now_for_the_modern_reader_is_Shakespeares_DNA，” Hammond concluded.语篇解读：本文告诉我们，爱情骗徒这部戏剧的作者除莎士比亚外另有其人。5From Paragraph 1 we know that the play Double Falsehood _.Awas created and directed by Lewis TheobaldBwas adapted from one of Shakespeares worksCwas written by Shakespeare and another writerDwas published by Professor Brean Hammond解析：选B根据第一段的“Double Falsehood is a play written by Lewis Theobald and first performed in 1727.It was based mainly on another work cowritten by William Shakespeare more than a century earlier”可知，这部名为爱情骗徒的戏剧是根据一个多世纪以前威廉莎士比亚与人合著的另一剧作改编而成。6Why has the publication of the play set off academic debate?AThere has been a play falsely attributed to Shakespeare.BShakespeare is the most famous and influential playwriter.CThere have been a great number of researchers studying Shakespeare.DThe Arden Shakespeare publishers made wrong judgements.解析：选A根据第二段的“The debate is over what the Englishspeaking worlds most famous and influential playwriter wrote and what was falsely attributed to him.”可推知，这部剧作的问世将可能激起新一轮的学术争论的原因是有一些剧作是仿冒莎翁的赝品。7What can be concluded about Lewis Theobald from the text?AHe was a popular playwriter in the 18th century.BHe became famous by saying the play was Shakespeares.CHe was wrongly blamed for nearly 300 years.DHe earned a lot of money from the play in spite of the debate.解析：选C根据第四段的“but the writer was widely considered as a cheat for claiming he had used the words of Shakespeare.The play has been rubbished in the past，”及尾段的“the play was widely accessible for the first time in nearly 300 years”可推知，刘易斯希尔包德被人们误解了近三百年。8The underlined sentence is the closest in meaning to “_”AShakespeare left his DNA to modern readersBModern readers can see the work after studying Shakespeares DNACThe play has been proven to be Shakespeares after analysis of his DNADModern readers can still recognize the writing style of Shakespeare解析：选D根据第三段的“Shakespeare wrote most of the first half (of the
