And did this person’s expectations (期待) and actions give you the confidence you needed to succeed? If so, then you’ve learned the Pygmalion effect (皮格马利翁效应). The Pygmalion effect means expectations will influence a person’s performance (表现). 26 He found that when teachers told a student he or she had a gift in Chinese or Chemistry, the student would act better on tests than those who were not told so. The idea behind the Pygmalion effect is that people rise or fall to reach the expectations set for them. When someone is expected to be perfect, they are more likely to get the resources they need to succeed. 27 On the other hand, when someone is thought as less capable (能力不足), they may miss a lot of chances and resources, which can result in poorer performance and less success. 28 . This effect can be seen in different environment. In the workplace, managers who have high expectations of their workers will be more supportive and provide better chances for their growth and development. 29 Similarly, coaches are more willing to spend extra time with athletes who they consider gifted. The extra attention helps these athletes to spend more time practicing their skills, so they improve faster than the other athletes. In both cases, the key is not only to have high expectations but also to communicate those expectations and create a suitable environment. 30 And we people can use this effect in our own lives by keeping high expectations for ourselves and those around us. A．Finally the effect becomes a kind of circle. B．This can lead to better performance and greater success. C．To get better results, extra time and hard work are especially needed. D．It’s no surprise that such an environment leads to better work performance. E．It may be hard for these people to be influenced and change their bad behavior. F．This effect was found by Robert Rosentha in study “Pygmalion in the Classroom” in 1968. G．By setting expectations and giving support, teachers can use the effect to help more students. 江苏省宿迁市宿豫区2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中英语试题 The Science of You You already know that you are an amazing person, but it’s not just your wonderful personality.

Snip, snip-the scissors fly around your head. Your hair grows from living cells, but the hair that’s cut is not alive. What’s the story here? 67 The root produces hair cells in a special tube called a follicle (毛囊). When new hair cells are made at the root, they push older hair cells up the follicle. As older hair cells move towards the surface of your skin, they change. They join together and harden. 68 The strand (股) of hair that comes out of your head does not have living cells in it. That’s why a haircut doesn’t hurt! You probably have about 100,000 hairs on your head right now. Hair strands grow all the time, then fall out and start to grow again.

And did this person’s expectations (期待) and actions give you the confidence you needed to succeed? If so, then you’ve learned the Pygmalion effect (皮格马利翁效应). The Pygmalion effect means expectations will influence a person’s performance (表现). 26 He found that when teachers told a student he or she had a gift in Chinese or Chemistry, the student would act better on tests than those who were not told so. The idea behind the Pygmalion effect is that people rise or fall to reach the expectations set for them. When someone is expected to be perfect, they are more likely to get the resources they need to succeed. 27 On the other hand, when someone is thought as less capable (能力不足), they may miss a lot of chances and resources, which can result in poorer performance and less success. 28 . This effect can be seen in different environment. In the workplace, managers who have high expectations of their workers will be more supportive and provide better chances for their growth and development. 29 Similarly, coaches are more willing to spend extra time with athletes who they consider gifted. The extra attention helps these athletes to spend more time practicing their skills, so they improve faster than the other athletes. In both cases, the key is not only to have high expectations but also to communicate those expectations and create a suitable environment. 30 And we people can use this effect in our own lives by keeping high expectations for ourselves and those around us. A．Finally the effect becomes a kind of circle. B．This can lead to better performance and greater success. C．To get better results, extra time and hard work are especially needed. D．It’s no surprise that such an environment leads to better work performance. E．It may be hard for these people to be influenced and change their bad behavior. F．This effect was found by Robert Rosentha in study “Pygmalion in the Classroom” in 1968. G．By setting expectations and giving support, teachers can use the effect to help more students. 【答案】26．F 27．B 28．A 29．D 30．G 【导语】本文主要介绍了皮格马利翁效应，即期望会影响一个人的表现。 26．根据下文“He found that when teachers told a student he or she had a gift in Chinese or Chemistry, the student would act better on tests than those who were not told so.”可知，此处与皮格马利翁效应的发现者有关，因此F项 “罗伯特•罗森萨在1968年的研究 ‘课堂上的皮格马利翁’中发现了这种效应。”符合语境，故选F。 27．根据上文“When someone is expected to be perfect, they are more likely to get the resources they need to succeed.”和下文“On the other hand, when someone is thought as less capable (能力不足), they may miss a lot of chances and resources, which can result in poorer performance and less success.”可知，前后形成对比，因此应该指更大的成功，因此B项 “这可以带来更好的表现和更大的成功。”符合语境，故选B。 28．根据上文“On the other hand, when someone is thought as less capable (能力不足), they may miss a lot of chances and resources, which can result in poorer performance and less success.”可知，此处指这种效果的循环，因此A项“最后，这种效果变成了一种循环。”符合语境，故选A。 29．根据上文“In the workplace, managers who have high expectations of their workers will be more supportive and provide better chances for their growth and development.”可知，此处与工作环境中的表现有关，因此D项 “这样的工作环境会带来更好的工作表现，这并不奇怪。”符合语境，故选D。 30．根据下文“And we people can use this effect in our own lives by keeping high expectations for ourselves and those around us.”可知，此处指使用这个效应能产生的效果，因此G项 “通过设定期望和给予支持，教师可以利用这种效应来帮助更多的学生。”符合语境，故选G。 江苏省宿迁市宿豫区2023-2024学年九年级上学期期中英语试题 The Science of You You already know that you are an amazing person, but it’s not just your wonderful personality.

Traders shipped goods (商品) to people from other areas. 42 When building many factories right next to rivers for the water’s power (电力) to make machines work, some people choose to live near a river for working.

Every once in a while, floodwaters rise higher than a house, ruining (毁坏) many things in the house. 44 Such waste causes water to smell bad and pollutes the crops we eat.

Things that are in movement will remain in movement until something stops them; and things that are at rest will stay at rest unless something moves them. 29 And when you sit down to read, you will stay where you are until you are ready to move. 30 All of them help to get you where you want to go.
