江苏省2020年高考英语全真模拟试卷九
Please take a few seconds and think of your personal biggest goal. Imagine telling someone you meet today what you're going to do. Imagine their congratulations and their high image of you. Doesn't it feel good to say it out loud? Don't you feel one step closer already? Well, bad news: you should have kept your mouth shut, because that good feeling will make you less likely to do it.
Any time you have a goal, there is some work that needs to be done to achieve it. Ideally, you would not be satisfied until you'd actually done the work. But when you tell someone your goal and he acknowledges(认可)it, psychologists have found it's called a "social reality". The mind is kind of tricked into feeling that it's already done. And then, because you've felt that satisfaction, you're less motivated to do the actual hard work necessary. This goes against the traditional wisdom that we should tell our friends our goals, right?
In 1982, Peter Gollwitzer, a Professor of Psychology, wrote a whole book about this. And in 2009, he did some new tests that were published. It goes like this: 163 people across four separate tests — everyone wrote down their personal goal. Then half of them announced their commitment(许诺)to this goal to the room, and half didn't. Then everyone was given 45 minutes of work that would directly lead them towards their goal, but they were told that they could stop at any time. Now those who kept their mouths shut worked the entire 45 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said they felt they had a long way to go to achieve their goal. But those who had announced it quit after only 33 minutes on average, and when asked afterwards, said that they felt much closer to achieving their goal.
HIGHFIELD COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL SCHOOL REPORT Form Teacher: G. Baker Pupil's Name: Simon Watkins Term: Summer 2016 Form: B | |||
Subject | Exam | Class work | Comments |
English | 59 | 61 | Simon has reached a satisfactory standard but now needs to apply himself with more determination. |
Mathematics | 77 | 85 | Sound work and progress throughout the year. Well done! |
History | 46 | 53 | A disappointing exam result. He is unable to give attention to this subject for long. |
Chemistry | 78 | 85 | His obvious ability in the subject was not fully reflected in his exam work, but I have high hopes for him nevertheless. |
Physics | 86 | 94 | An excellent term's performance. He goes from strength to strength. A born scientist, I feel. |
Biology | 57 | 60 | This time next year he will be taking the "O" Level exam. He needs to concentrate on(全神贯注于) the work, not on class conversation. |
French | 41 | 46 | Clearly he didn't revise. His general attitude is far too casual. |
Physical Education | / | 31 | Weak. It's time he exercised his body more and his voice less. He should try to work with a team. |
FORM TEACHER'S REMARKS Basically satisfactory work and progress though he will now have realized, I hope, that in certain subject areas he needs to make speedy improvement. HEADMASTER I shall pay attention to his progress in his weaker subjects though his success in the sciences is most pleasing. |
