My car just wouldn’t move any farther. It was complete dead, and I was a few
miles away from anywhere in that cold, wet night. I decided walk around a little before
accepting I’d have to spend the night in the car. Maybe I can find a telephone. Actually,
I didn’t have to walk far before I found the small house standing in a field with a light
shone from the sitting room. I knocked at the door and was delighting when a pleasant
old man opened the door but listened to my story carefully. He said he had no
telephone, and it wasn’t any within walking distance, but the old man who offered to
go to repair my car.

Why do some people have many friends while others do not? 1. However, it is not so. Let’s look at two psychological experiments which will give you the key to happy interpersonal relations.
The first experiment is called the “Hawthorne effect” after Hawthorne, Illinois, where the experiment took place. A group of psychologists examined the work patterns of two groups of workers in the Western Electric Company. 2. The psychologists changed the working conditions for one group twice but left the other group alone. They were surprised to find that productivity increased on both occasions and in both groups. They concluded that the increase in productivity came from the attention given to the workers by the management. It had increased their motivation and so they had worked harder. In other words, if you take an interest in others, they will want to please you and you will have good relations with them.
3. After Martin Luther King, Jr was killed in 1960s, a teacher, Jane Elliott, living in an all-white town decided to help her class of young children understand why the Civil Rights Movement had been necessary in America.
She divided the class into two groups: one with blue eyes and other with brown eyes. Other eye colors such as hazel or green were excluded from his exercise. Then she told the class that brown-eyed people were cleverer than blue-eyed ones because of an agent for brown color found in their blood. Blue-eyed people were stupid, lazy and not to be trusted. Jane Elliott did not need to say any more. The brown-eyed students quickly got used to their new role as the leaders of the class. The blue-eyed students became quiet and withdrawn. Then she discovered something very interesting. Four poor brown-eyed readers began to read fluently in a way they had never done before. 4. So if you want to be successful and happy, take an interest in others whether they are your classmates or workmates. Congratulate them on their success and sympathize with them in their troubles. 5.
A．Before the experiment the management talked to both groups of workers and explained that they wanted to find the best working environment for them.
B．Remember that the way you treat others will decide their attitude and behavior to you.
C．The second experiment shows what happens to personal relations if you are rude to or ignore others.
D．The ones who have more friends usually are those who care about others.
E. Jane Elliott had shown that the way people are treated affects not only their behavior but also their confidence and their performance.
F. You may even imagine that this ability was something they were born with because it seems so effortless to them.
G. The second experiment tells us what teachers said had a great effect on the students.
The new studies show that fewer than half of the 9th graders in many of the nation’s largest cities, can ever graduate. The studies clearly show that the dropout rate isn’t dropping. And, in particular, the dropout rate isn’t dropping for poor and minority students.
Amazingly, though so many regret the rising dropout rate, our schools continue to lack formal plans—or any plans—to teach students motivation. Most schools have no game plan to ensure that students understand that schooling will be completely necessary. Schools expect youth and children to act as though schooling is important, but they never teach them to believe that.
Years ago, families ensured that the children recognized the value of schooling. But in many modern families, the children may fail to recognize the importance of school life just because these families may actually tell their children that school is not important. Since many families are not motivating their children to be interested students, youth professionals, like teachers may need to provide this training.
Here are some strategies to convince even the most apathetic (无动于衷的) students that they must stay in school.
Ask students if they will ever need to work: The world has changed. 100 years ago, factory work was the booming job, and it required no education. Today, factories are increasingly automated. Most computer-related jobs require education and at least a high school diploma.
Ask students which century they will be prepared for: In 1900, the most common jobs were farm laborer and domestic servant—education not needed. Now, the most common jobs are office and sales staff—education and diploma usually needed. An amazing 6 out of 10 people today work in a store or office.
Ask students to devise a way that the employee could be replaced. For example, the coming trend in fast food is to use computers rather than people to run the restaurant. A prototype is apparently already being tested. The students should discover that most jobs that lack education and diploma requirements may be ripe for automation.
1.What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph1?
A．Few students can afford to go to school in large cities.
B．A large number of the 9th graders can graduate now.
C．There are still quite a few 9th graders leaving school early.
D．Most schools in large cities have fewer and fewer students.
2.It can be inferred that .
A．both schools and families should answer for the high dropout rate
B．many new jobs don’t need children’s high school diploma
C．working in a store doesn’t require a high school diploma
D．most schools are ready to help students recognize the importance of study
3.The author takes factory work for example mainly to .
A．tell us that many jobs required certain education in the past
B．show that employment in the computer field grows at a high rate
C．show that there are more factory work and employment in modern society
D．emphasize that modern jobs require education and schools are necessary
