Trevor, C. O., Lansford, B. and Black, J. W., 2004, "Employee turnover (人事變更) and job performance: monitoring the influences of salary growth and promotion", Journal of Armchair Psychology, vol. 113, no.1, pp. 56-64.

In this article Trevor et al. review the influences of pay and job opportunities in respect of job performance, turnover rates and employees' job attitude. The authors use data gained through organizational surveys of blue-chip companies in Vancouver, Canada to try to identify the main cause of employee turnover and whether it is linked to salary growth. Their research focuses on assessing a range of pay structures such as pay for performance and organizational reward plans. The article is useful as Trevor suggests that there are numerous reasons for employee turnover and a variety of differences in employees' job attitude and performance. The main limitation of the article is that the survey sample was restricted(限制) to mid-level management, thus the authors indicate that further, more extensive research needs to be undertaken to develop a more in-depth understanding of employee turnover and job performance. As this article was published in a professional journal, the findings can be considered reliable. It will be useful additional information for the research on pay structures.

The following card includes a brief summary and a short assessment of a research paper. It can provide a guide for further reading on the topic.

1.The research paper published is primarily concerned with______.

A. the way of preventing employee turnover

B. methods of improving employee performance

C. factors affecting employee turnover and performance

D. pay structures based on employee performance

2.As is mentioned in the card, the limitation of the research paper mainly lies in that_______.

A. the data analysis is hardly reliable

B. the research sample is not wide enough

C. the findings are of no practical value

D. the research method is out-of-date

3.Who might be most interested in this piece of information?

A. Job hunters.

B. Employees in blue-chip companies.

C. Mid-level managers.

D. Researchers on employee turnover.

LONDON, Aug. 19 (Xinhua) -- A four-year-old child’s ability to draw could be an indicator of intelligence at age 14, according to a study published on Tuesday in the British journal Psychological Science.

The researchers from King’s College London (KCL) studied 7,752 pairs of identical and non-identical twins, and found that the link between drawing and later intelligence was influenced by genes.

At the age of 4, children were asked by their parents to complete a ‘Draw-a-Child’ test. Their drawings were rated from 0 to 12, based on the presence and correct number of body-parts, like arms, legs, head, eyes and nose.

The children were also given verbal and non-verbal intelligence tests at ages 4 and 14. According to researchers, the test was devised in the 1920’s to assess children’s intelligence, so it’s not surprising that the test correlated with intelligence at age 4.However, they found that higher scores on the test were also moderately associated with higher scores of intelligence at 14.

The researchers also measured the heritability of figure drawing. Identical twins share all their genes, whereas non-identical twins only share about 50 percent. Overall, at age 4, drawings from identical twin pairs were more similar to one another than drawings from non-identical twin pairs.

Therefore, the researchers concluded that differences in children’s drawings have an important genetic link. They also found that drawing at age 4 and intelligence at age 14 had a strong genetic link.

“Drawing is an ancient behaviour, dating back beyond 15,000 years ago,” Dr. Rosalind Arden, lead author of the paper from KCL, said that: “This capacity to reproduce figures is a uniquely human ability and a sign of cognitive ability, in a similar way to writing, which transformed the human species’ ability to store information, and build a civilisation.”

1.According to the passage, which of the following statement about ‘Draw-a-Child’ test is true?

A. The test was devised in the 1920’s.

B. 7,752 identical and non-identical twins took part in it.

C. The test was set to assess children’s intelligence.

D. The children took the test at four.

2.Which of the following words is closest in meaning to the underlined word “devised” in the 4th paragraph?

A. changed B. formed C. taken D. designed

3.What do we know about the twins from the passage?

A. Those who could draw better at 4 tend to be more intelligent at 14.

B. Twins who look similar to each other draw better pictures.

C. They were chosen to take the drawing test by the researchers.

D. They were tested on how smart they were once.

4.From the last paragraph, we can infer that ___________.

A. human society develops because of the ability to draw figures

B. drawing helps improve humans’ ability to study

C. one’s intelligence is related to his ability to draw pictures

D. only human beings are able to draw pictures

Lots of people give you advice on overcoming fear. 1. However, I want to tell you that a world without fear would be more dangerous, less rewarding. So we want to treat fear as a friend? Here are three reasons.

2. Think about it. Do you get more nervous when you meet the girl (or guy) of your dreams? Which is more fearful, talking to the boss of your company or to some of your friends? 3. If you didn’t have fear to guide you, you might not know that! Not so bad, right?

Next, fear encourages us to take action. Fear is a call to action. In the past, our ancestors didn’t run away in fear when they saw a tiger running toward them but tried to kill it for food. Now, most of us don’t face serious danger like hungry tigers every day, but we do face serious bosses or public speaking. So, what can we do? 4.

Lastly, fear lets you know you are alive. Why do we like roller coasters? __5. Same for horror movies.

So fear can guide you towards what’s important for you and encourage you to take action to improve. Don’t we all need that kind of friend?

A. Don’t fear to be wrong.

B. It frightens us in a mostly safe way.

C. Imagine what life would be like without fear.

D. The first is that fear is an excellent guide to opportunity.

E. They say if you can overcome fear, you will be successful.

F. Let fear provide us with the energy to do what needs to be done.

G. Fear is showing you what is important and what matters to you.
