25、nsion (20 points)Directions: Read the following passages, decide on the best one of the choices marked A, B, C, 4and D for each question or unfinished statement and then mark the corresponding letter with a single baracross the square bracket on the ANSWER SHEET I. Passage 1 Guthries contiguity prin
26、ciple offers practical suggestions for how to break habits. One application of the threshold method involves the time young children spend on academic activities. Young children have short attention spans, so the length of time they can sustain work on one activity is limited. Most activities are sc
27、heduled to last no longer than 30 to 40 minutes. However, at the start of the school year, attention spans quickly wane and behavior problems often result. To apply Guthries theory, a teacher might, at the start of the year, limit activities to 15 to 20 minutes. Over the next few weeks the teacher c
28、ould gradually increase the time students spend working on a single activity. The threshold method also can be applied to teaching printing and handwriting. When children first learn to form letters, their movements are awkward and they lack fine motor coordination. The distances between lines on a
29、page are purposely wide so children can fit the letters into the space. If paper with narrow lines is initially introduced, students etters would spill over the borders and students might become frustrated. Once students can form letters within the larger bordens, they can use paper with smaller bor
30、ders to help them refine their skills. The fatigue method can be applied when disciplining disruptive students who build paper airplanes and sail them across the room. The teacher can remove the students from the classroom, give them a large stack of paper, and tell him to start making paper airplan
31、es. After the students have made several airplanes, the activity should lose its attraction and paper will become a cue for not building airplanes. Some students continually race around the gym when they first enter their physical education class. To employ the fatigue method, the teacher might deci
32、de to have these students continue to run a few more laps after the class has begun. The incompatible response method can be used with students who talk and misbehave in the media center. Reading is incompatible with talking. The media center teacher might ask the students to find interesting books
33、and read them while in the center. Assuming that the students find the books enjoyable, the media center will, over time, become a cue for selecting and reading books rather than for talking with other students. In a social studies class some students regularly fall asleep. The teacher realized that
34、 using the board and overhead projector while lecturing was very boring. Soon the teacher began to incorporate other elements into each lesson, such as experiments, and debates, in an attempt to involve students and raise their interest in the course. 41. The purpose of this passage is to _. A. info
35、rm B. persuade C. debate D. narrate42. Guthrie identified three methods for _. A. educating students B. altering bad habitsC. avoiding undesired action D. forming good hobbies 43. Which of the following is not the example of applying the threshold method?A. Parents introduce spinach in small bites o
36、r mixed with a food that the child enjoys over time so that the child will not refuse to eat it. B. Teachers introduce academic content in short blocks of time for young children and gradually increase session length but not to where students become frustrated or bored. 5C. Paper with wider lines is
37、 first used and then paper with narrow lines is introduced step by step to help children learn printing and handwriting. D. A child might be made to throw toys until it is no longer fun by his parents in order to change his behavior of repeatedly throwing toys. 44. To stop snacking while watching te
38、levision, people should keep their hands busy by sewing, painting, working crossword puzzles, and so forth. Over time, watching TV becomes a cue for engaging in an activity other than snacking. What method is used in this example? A. The threshold method. B. The fatigue method. C. The incompatible r
39、esponse method. D. The punishment method. 45. We can draw the conclusion from the passage that _. A. The incompatible response method is to force child to make unwanted response repeatedly in presence of stimulus until he or she becomes exhausted B. The threshold method refers to introducing undesir
40、ed behavior with a response incompatible with the undesired response so they cannot be performed simultaneously C. The fatigue method means that engaging in the behavior is transformed into avoiding it by introducing the stimulus at full strength so it becomes a cue for not performing it D. The fati
41、gue method is that in presence of stimulus teachers have child make response incompatible with unwanted response Passage 2The increase in global trade means that international companies cannot afford to make costly advertising mistakes if they want to be competitive. Understanding the language and c
42、ulture of target markets in foreign countries is one of the keys to successful international marketing. Too many companies, however, have jumped into foreign markets with embarrassing results. Translation mistakes are at the heart of many blunders in international advertising. General Motors, the US
43、 auto manufacturer, got a costly lesson when it introduced its Chevrolet Nova to the Puerto Rican market. “Nova” is Latin for “new(star)” and means “star” in many languages, but in spoken Spanish it can sound like “nova”, meaning “it doesnt go”. Few people wanted to buy a car with that cursed meanin
44、g. When GM changed the name to Caribe, sales “picked up” dramatically. Marketing blunders have also been made by food and beverage companies. One American food companys friendly “Jolly Green Giant” (for advertising vegetables) became something quite different when it was translated into Arabic as “I
45、ntimidating Green Ogre”. When translated into German, Pepsis popular slogan, “Come Alive with Pepsi” came out implying “Come Alive from the Grave”. No wonder customers in Germany didnt rush out to buy Pepsi. Successful international marketing doesnt stop with good translationsother aspects of culture must be researched and understood if marketers are to avoid blunders. When marketers do not understand and appreciate the values, tastes, geography, climate, superstitions, religion, or economy of a culture, they fail to capture
