听力原文： The difference between the employees' personal potential and their usual performance is what we call the Motivation Gap. There are a couple of basic reasons why employees deliver less than their potential to their work. They believe:
1. You don't really expect their best.
2. Their extra effort isn't appreciated or rewarded.
Getting the employees to produce outstanding work has been regarded by many business people as some kind of great eternal mystery. We can fully express the "secret" in three words beginning with the letter R.
1. Responsibility
To give someone responsibility for their work the employer says to them, I trust you. It says, treats this work as a source of both pride and joy because you own it, and because you own it, you can freely invest yourself in it. When people own their work, it's an important part of the mselves—something they want to nurture, to make the best it can be.
Most people want to take responsibility for their work. As humans, we draw much of our personal identity from our work. Taking full responsibility for our work heightens our sense of involvement and satisfaction in our work. It encourages people to do better work. Responsibility is a motivator.
2. Recognition
While everyone who works for a living expects a decent paycheck in return, there is nobody who doesn't appreciate appreciation. When they have done good work, they feel proud of themselves. And no matter how self-motivated they are, it is a good feeling when someone else notices.
3. Reward
Sure, the employees are financially compensated for the work they do. And the company rightfuUy expects good work from employees for its investment in their salaries. But shouldn't exceptional work be worth a bit more？
Compensation should be related to performance, or else it has no value beyond discouraging people from looking for another employer.
(23)
A．Holding back reward.
B．Delivering one's potentials.
C．Closing the motivation gap.
D．Expecting a reward from employees.

Poetry
People seldom feel neutral about poetry(诗). Those who love it sometimes give the impression that it is an adequate substitute for food, shelter, and lobe. It isn't words, no matter how satisfying, are never an equivalent for life itself and its human experiences. Those who dislike poetry on principle sometimes claim, on the other hand, that poetry is only works and good for nothing. That's not true either. It is easy to become frustrated by words-in poetry or in life-but when words represent and recreate genuine human feelings, as they often do in poetry, they can be very important. Poetry is, in fact, more than just words. It is an experience of words, and those who know how to read poetry can easily extend their experience of life, their sense of what other people are like, their awareness of themselves, and their range of human feelings.
One reason poetry can be so important is that it is so closely concerned with feelings, poetry is often full of ideas, too, and sometimes poems can be powerful experiences of the mind, but most poems are primarily about how people feel rather than how people think. Poems provide, in fact, a language for feeling, and one of poetry's most insistent merits involves its at tempt to express the inexpressible. How can anyone, for example, put into words what it means to be in love or what it feels like to lose someone one cares about？ Poetry tries, and it often captures exactly the shade of emotion that feels just right to a reader. No single poem can be said to express all the things that love or death feels like, or means, but one of the joys of experiencing poetry occurs when we read a poem and want to say," Yes, that is just what it is like; I know exactly what that line means but I've never been able to express it so well." Poetry can be the voice of our feelings even when our minds are speechless with grief or joy.
"People seldom feel neutral about poetry"(in Para. 1) in this context means that ______.
A．few people think that poetry is neutral
B．people always differ in their views about poetry
C．people rarely take a biased opinion about poetry
D．people generally think of poetry as extremely important or totally useless

听力原文： Every culture has many sayings that give advice about life. These sayings are part of what is commonly called folk wisdom. Of course, folk wisdom is also expressed in other ways, such as myths, fairy tales, legends, and songs. Often however, folk wisdom is shared in the form. of short sayings about the best ways to approach life's joys and sorrows.
One characteristic of American folk wisdom is its humor. Humor makes the bitter medicine of life easier to swallow. It sometimes makes the harsh realities of life more attractive. For example, Benjamin Franklin's clever saying, "A full belly makes a dull brain" means "People who are well-fed or self-satisfied can become lazy and stupid." But this paraphrasing loses the elegance and humor of Franklin's original saying. Some moralists in the United States are successful because they are able to say wise things humorously.
Abraham Lincoln expressed similar opinions about life but in a different way. Lincoln continued the tradition of "horse sense" humor. This type of humor appeals to people who are hungry for practical common sense. Lincoln, both a politician and an idealist, understood the need for horse sense. He knew how to use common sense to influence people's opinion. He could take the highest moral principles or the most critical observations and use them in folksy—or simple commonsense—humor to make them better understood and more easily accepted. Take, for example, this quote, which is one of the best known in the United States. "You can fool all of the people some of the time, and some of the people all of the time, but you can't fool all of the people all of the time. " Another of Lincoln's wise, folksy statements is: "The Lord prefers common-looking people. That's why he makes so many of them. "
There is no doubt that people need a little push sometimes to help them see the folly of their ways. Mark Twain used humor to reveal that many popular ideas were false, foolish, or even harmful. Twain thought that most human beings didn't examine why they believe certain things, and that they were too easily influenced by the opinions of people in power. He felt that it was easier for people to be "misled" than to be led correctly, so he tried to show the foolishness of those in power. For example, he said, "Hain't we got all the fools in town on our side and ain't that a big enough majority in any town？"
Now you may get the impression that Twain was a misanthrope, a person who saw everyone's mistakes and never noticed their good qualities. It's true that his humor was sometimes harsh, but it was used to reveal truths about human relationships. Twain thought the result would be a better, more just society. However, he also realized that he irritated a lot of people. He was aware that when newspapers reported his death, many people might be happy to hear the news. The telegram he sent from Europe to the Associated Press is typical of his humor. It read, "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated. "
Questions:
16. According to the talk, what is major characteristic of "folk wisdom"？
17.According to the talk, what is the major difference between Franklin and Lincoln when composing short sayings of folk wisdom？
18.According to the talk, which of the following statements is TRUE about "horse sense" humor？
19.According to the talk, what was Mark Twain's purpose for using humor？
20.According to the talk, why did Mark Twain send the telegram which said, "The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated. "？
