There's a curious thing about people.All of us are driven in some way or another to achieve—we want to run faster,be more creative,win more awards,and earn more money.But here's the thing: if you want to offer warm of wisdom,constructive criticism or "360-degree feedback",then think again.Most of us would rather not hear it.
Our easily-broken egos（自尊心）are partly to blame.We all want to meet our own expectations of ourselves,and so being critiqued can present a huge threat to our egos.Yet as decades of psychological theory and research have indicated,people have endless tricky strategies of remaining positive in the face of criticism.For this reason,rather than us welcoming feedback with open arms,our first response is often an automatic defense.These reactions serve to make us feel better about ourselves.
Psychological research exposes this unhealthy appetite for ignorance.In one study,students watched a false educational film about a serious disease called "TAA Deficiency".In fact,TAA Deficiency is completely fictional,but the students were not told this information;instead,they were asked whether they wished to provide a cheek test for assessing（评估）their risk of developing the disease.Half of the students were told that if they ever developed TAA Deficiency,then the treatment would involve them taking a two-week course of pills.Of this group,52% agreed to provide the cheek test.The other half of students learned the treatment would involve taking the pills for the rest of their lives.Of this group,only 21% agreed to the test.
These findings show a common pattern seen in other studies within and beyond the context of healthcare.That is,people are especially resistant to hearing feedback when they believe it could lead them to do something difficult- or unpleasant.
1.The author implies in Paragraph 1 that people should .
A. be cautious when giving advice B. be satisfied with what he has
C. offer constructive criticism D. care less about others
2.How do people usually react when facing criticism?
A. They try to avoid it. B. They deal with it seriously.
C. They tend to defend themselves. D. They turn to psychological theory.
3.Why didn't most of the second group agree to the test?
A. They didn't believe in it. B. They knew it was just an experiment.
C. They were sensitive to the negative result. D. They didn't like the way they were treated.
4.What can be the best title for the passage?
A. Meeting Criticism B. Rethinking Feedbacks
C. Improving Healthcare D. Fighting TAA Deficiency

Pink has never been one of the favorite colors of the fashion industry,as it's often seen as silly and not cool enough.But this spring,it's having its moment in the spotlight,all thanks to the fact that the color is no longer all about being girly and sweet.Instead,pink is taking on a new meaning of independence and power.
This shift happened last month during the Women's March.Tens of thousands of women filled the streets of major cities in the US and in countries all around the world to protest（抗议）against the disrespect to women.What was unusual about the protests is that a lot of people taking part were wearing pink hats,making the streets appear like a "sea of pink".Even though the hats were without any slogan（标语）,their pink color is thought to have sent out a message that is louder than any words."We women have power and we're not going to sit down and shut up," Aileen Gildea,one of the protesters in the US,told The Boston Globe.
Now young people are changing their attitudes to pink.They are no longer trying to escape pink,but give new meanings to it instead.
"Women who came before us ...to be taken seriously they had to get away from the symbols used to make women seem less capable.Younger women don't have that reaction.They're more interested in breaking and rebuild those symbols,"Audrey Gelman,a businesswoman in the US,told The Wall Street Journal.
So sometimes it's not the thing itself that needs to be changed,but the way we look at it.And in the case of pink, what used to be seen as silly may be turned into something really serious.
1.In general,people tend to relate pink to .
A. independence B. weakness
C. power D. sadness
2.According to Aileen Gildea,what were their protests meant to convey?
A. Women actually prefer pink to any other color.
B. Women need to get away from those symbols of silliness.
C. Women ought to have a bigger voice in society.
D. Women should have the right to choose whatever colors.
3.The last paragraph implies that sometimes it is necessary to .
A. change our traditional concepts
B. show greater respect for women
C. have doubts about the so-called "truth"
D. tell something silly from something serious

China Merchants Bank Co Ltd has teamed up with ride-hailing major Didi Kuaidi to provide automobile financing and expand its reach in China’s booming mobile payment industry.
The two have inked a comprehensive partnership, which includes a strategic investment by the former in the latter. Under the partnership, CMB will become the first bricks-and-mortar bank that can offer in-app credit card payments to Didi users. At present, users of Didi can only choose third-party payment solutions like WeChat Payment and Alipay to pay cab fares.
Zhao Ju, vice-president of CMB, said the cooperation with Didi was an important step in its mobile Internet finance strategy. “CMB’s mobile payment is going to enter a new chapter by leveraging Didi Kuaidi’s vast user base,” he said.
According to a report by China Internet Network Information Center earlier this month, Didi holds 87.2 percent of China’s private car hailing market. The company said it has received 1.43 billion car-hailing requests on its platforms in 2015, which means 1.43 billion payments were made via smartphones.
CMB is expected to use Didi to reach the core users of China’s mobile payment market. Jean Liu, president of Didi, said many of the expats prefer payment by credit card rather than Alipay or WeChat. “The new partnership will help improve service quality and customer loyalty,” she said. The investment makes CMB part of Didi’s existing investors, including Tencent Holdings Ltd, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd and China Investment Corporation. Both of the companies declined to reveal the actual amount of the investment.
Liu, who showed up on Tuesday for the first time in public after her treatment for breast cancer, said the cooperation with CMB is for the long run and “the capital investment is only part of it”.
Under the partnership, CMB and Didi will cooperate on a wide range of initiatives on financial services and online-to-offline cooperation. Apart from the in-app credit card payments, the two companies are going to launch joint credit cards in late February and automobile financing services for Didi’s car owners. CMB’s branches across China are expected to help Didi recruit more drivers.
“There is a lot of room for imagination in our partnership,” Li said, adding in future people may use their CMB credit card reward points to pay for the ride on Didi.
Li Chao, an analyst with iResearch Consulting Group, said the partnership may not significantly boost CMB’s mobile payment business. “Didi has educated the market for three years and its customers have formed the habit of paying by WeChat or Alipay. So I think CMB can only turn a very smart proportion of Didi users into its payment customer,” he said. “But the move shows that China’s traditional banking industry is finally thinking out of the box and looking for outside partners in Internet finance competition,” he said.
Statistics from Big-Data Research showed that more than 90 percent of China’s 9.3 trillion yuan ($1.41 trillion) worth of third party mobile payment market is donated by Alibaba and Tencent.
1.Which of the following is not the purpose of CMB’s cooperation with Didi?
A. CMB is expected to use Didi to reach the core users of China’s mobile payment market.
B. Through the cooperation with Didi, CMB will help improve service quality and customer loyalty.
C. CMB will launch joint credit cards with Didi to expand its service.
D. CMB will turn a very large proportion of Didi users into its payment customer.
2.What can be inferred from the passage?
A. CMB’s mobile payment is going to enter a new chapter.
B. China’s traditional banking industry is facing fierce Internet finance competition.
C. CMB and Didi will have an online-to-offline cooperation.
D. The majority of Didi users will pay by CMB in-app credit card.
3.What’s Li Chao’ attitude towards the partnership between CMB and Didi?
A. cautious. B. positive.
C. indifferent. D. disapproving.
4.The main idea of this passage is that ________.
A. CMB develops partnership with Didi Kuaidi
B. CMB is looking for outside partners in Internet finance competition
C. Didi Kuaidi is going to enter a new chapter
D. Alibaba and Tencent dominate the mobile payment market
