Article 1: More Satisfaction, Less Divorce for People Who Meet Spouses Online
By Maia Szalavitz | June 03, 2013
(Check the title later)
【TIME 1】
More than one-third of American marriages today get their start online — and those marriages are more satisfying and are less likely to end in divorce, according to a new study.
The research, which was funded by the online-dating site eHarmony, was published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
“Meeting online is no longer an anomaly, and the prospects are good,” says lead author John Cacioppo, a professor of social psychology at the University of Chicago. “That was surprising to me. I didn’t expect that.”
The research involved a Harris Poll of nearly 20,000 Americans who got married between 2005 and 2012. It found that 35% of people met online. But while 8% of those who met off-line got separated or divorced, the percentage for those who met online was just 6%. Although these differences narrowed after controlling for factors that affect divorce rates such as income, education and number of years married, they remained significant, Cacioppo says.
The study also found increased marital satisfaction among people meeting online, compared with off-line venues like at college or in bars.
Eli Finkel, a professor of social psychology at Northwestern University who has published research critical of the online-dating industry, said in e-mail to several journalists that the research is “impressive” with a “large sample” and “fascinating findings.” However, Finkel thinks that the conclusion that online marriages are better is premature.
“The study is a good one,” he says. “It suggests that one can meet a serious romantic partner online. That’s a big deal. But any conclusions that online meeting is better than off-line meeting overstep the evidence.” Finkel explains that the differences between the two venues overall are not large enough to support this claim.
The study does not suggest that meeting online in and of itself actually improves matchmaking or somehow causes marriages to be better. In fact, both online and off, different types of meeting places were linked with different marital prospects.
Not surprisingly, for example, growing up together or meeting at school, through friends or through a religious group were linked with more satisfying marriages than meeting at a bar or club or on a blind date. Oddly, however, meeting at work was just as bad as finding a spouse at a bar or nightclub.
【TIME 1 ENDS – 379 WORDS】

【TIME 2】
In terms of online venues, marriages begun in chat rooms or online communities were less satisfying than those initiated via online-dating sites, although dating sites themselves varied in terms of the marital satisfaction reported.
“In chat rooms and off-line, you meet only the people who are around and not large numbers of people,” Cacioppo says as a possible explanation for this finding. “If you do online dating, all of sudden, there’s a world of possibilities.”
Another potential explanation for differences between online and off-line marital success has to do with personality. “If you have good impulse control, you may be more likely to meet your spouse [deliberately] online rather than impulsively at a bar,” he says.
Of dating sites, eHarmony fared particularly well — a finding that may raise suspicion because of the funding source. However, the study could not determine whether or not this has anything to do with how it matches people or anything else specific to the site. Because it advertises itself to those who are seeking a spouse, eHarmony may simply attract more people who are ready to settle down. A marriage-focused website, Cacioppo says, “is not appealing if you are just looking for a hookup.”
Cacioppo notes one additional reason why the online world might be conducive to matchmaking — an explanation that might surprise many online daters who have met people whose bodies didn’t exactly match their pictures. “There is some experimental work going back more than 30 years now, which [shows that] meeting [via computer or text] leads people on average to be a little more honest and self-disclosing,” he says.
“When you are face to face, there is face-saving,” he explains. “When you don’t [see each other], you can be more comfortable being yourself.” Being more open, the same studies found, led people to like each other more — something that could obviously influence romantic connections.
When it comes to playing Cupid, it’s still not clear whether online dating ultimately makes better matches. But given the large number of people who meet their mates this way, the good news is that at least it doesn’t seem to make matters any worse.

Article 2: Buying Your Way to Eternity
By Stephen Cave | June 05, 2013
(Check the title later)
【WARM UP】
Why do you put up with the frustrations and indignities of work? I’m guessing that, first and foremost, it’s because you think you need the cash. But let’s say you’ve got enough to put a roof over your head and food in your belly — or could easily get it putting in fewer hours than you do. Why are you still at your desk? Why do you spend so many hours adding numbers to a bank balance?
The answer might surprise you: Because you believe it will make you live forever.
You might not think you believe this — you might even find the idea absurd. You might argue that the extra money will bring you freedom, or security, or expensive toys. If you’re a little more psychologically savvy, you might say that a higher salary will earn you social status or self esteem. But new research out this week shows these are only the start of the story — brightly colored boats pulled along by a deeper current: the pursuit of immortality.
【170 WORDS】

【TIME 3】
The unconscious connection between acquiring wealth and living forever has been revealed by a team of American and Polish psychologists in a series of ingenious experiments. For example, one study asked half of the participants to count some money, while the other half were counting numbers on ordinary pieces of paper. All then answered questions about their feelings toward dying. The researchers found that those who had been counting cash reported significantly reduced fear of death. It is as if we believe a wad of bills were a magic wand that could keep the Grim Reaper at bay.
The team from the University of Colorado and the University of Social Sciences and Humanities in Warsaw, Poland, believe that we ascribe a symbolic and emotional value to money that goes far beyond the value of what it can buy for us. We are not rational decision makers when it comes to our finances, dispassionately calculating profit and loss. Instead our judgment is continually distorted by deep-seated associations and anxieties. And the most powerful of these is existential angst, the ever-present fear of doom.
Another of their experiments was based on a well-established, if curious, phenomenon: We tend to overestimate the physical size of things we consider to be important. Half of the participants in this study were subtly reminded of their mortality, while the other half were reminded of dental pain (unpleasant, but not life-threatening). All were then asked to estimate the size of some notes and coins. As the researchers predicted, those who had been primed with the prospect of death overestimated the size of the money significantly more than the others — 34% more in the case of the coins and over 50% more in the case of the notes. This shows that the more people are worried about death, the more important money becomes to them.
【TIME 3 ENDS – 307 WORDS】

【TIME 4】
Of course, cash really can buy you a longer life: It can get you better health care, or a house in a safer neighborhood. But the extent to which we worship the dollar is out of all proportion to the few extra years — if you’re lucky — that a bigger bank balance can bring. Money’s power to assuage our existential anxiety comes not from being able to buy a bullet-proof vest. It comes from the layers of extra meaning we ascribe to wealth.
We are so used to reaching for our wallets or purses that we forget how magical the power of money can seem. Producing a few tattered notes can have people running to do your bidding, or bringing you whatever you desire. A little piece of plastic embossed with a cryptic code can work like a talisman, casting a spell on all around. It is this miraculous power to command the world that our unconscious latches onto and extends into the hope that money can command even death itself.
These experiments were inspired by the work of the American anthropologist Ernest Becker, who argued in his Pulitzer Prize-winning 1973 book The Denial of Death that we all need some kind of defense mechanism to protect us from the terror of mortality. For some, this mechanism is religion, for others the pursuit of eternal fame. What this new research shows is that the pursuit of wealth is also such a death-denial mechanism — and the flip side of denying death is pursuing eternal life. Tennessee Williams was right when he wrote in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, “the reason [man] buys everything he can buy is that in the back of his mind he has the crazy hope that one of his purchases will be life everlasting.”
【TIME 4 ENDS – 297 WORDS】

【TIME 5】
The researchers point out that those who think we want to get rich in order to boost our status and self-esteem aren’t wrong. It’s just that status and esteem are themselves serving the deeper need to manage our existential terror. Such ego-boosts make us feel more substantial, more permanent, more immune to the slings and arrows of fortune. As Ernest Becker put it, riches “change one’s natural situation from one of smallness, helplessness, finitude, to one of bigness, control, durability, importance.”
The theory that we are filling our bank accounts in the hope of immortality might sound surprising, but it is affirmed by history. The world is strewn with costly monuments to this yearning: from the original Mausoleum — the huge and wondrous tomb of the Persian King Mausolus — to the tallest building of today, the Khalifa tower, named after the President of the Emirates. And although it is no longer possible to buy your way to the papacy, as Rodrigo Borgia did in 1492, the idea that your eternal prospects are improved by a cash donation is still encouraged by many churches. Meanwhile the Russian multimillionaire Dmitry Itskov is pursuing a more modern version of this dream: spending his fortune on becoming an immortal avatar by 2045.
But history also has another lesson: that the rich end up six feet under just like the rest of us. In exposing this unconscious drive, this research is giving us a warning: no matter why you think you are still at your desk, there is a good chance it is really because of a subliminal urge to beat death. As the researchers point out, this is an important lesson in a time of greed-induced financial crisis. So if you know that money can’t actually buy you eternity, don’t let your subconscious make you a slave to your salary. Perhaps it’s time to take that long vacation.

Article 3: How to Demotivate Your Best Employees
by Dina Gerdeman
(Check the title later)
It would seem to make sense that when companies recognize their workers with awards, they are likely to see a boost in morale and perhaps even inspire them to work harder.
It turns out that sometimes rewarding employees for good behavior can actually backfire, leading to a drop in motivation and productivity.
More than 80 percent of companies dole out work-related awards like "employee of the month" or "top salesperson." Managers often view these awards as inexpensive ways to improve worker performance; many believe that when employees bask in the glow of corporate praise, they may even feel motivated to work harder over the long term.
But new research suggests that some awards may actually have the opposite effect, according to a recent paper called The Dirty Laundry of Employee Award Programs: Evidence from the Field, written by Harvard Business School Assistant Professor Ian Larkin, along with professor Lamar Pierce and doctoral student Timothy Gubler from the Olin School of Business at Washington University in St. Louis.
The researchers studied an attendance award program initiated by managers at one of the five commercial-industrial laundries owned by the same midwestern company. Perfect attendance was defined as not having any unexcused absences or tardy shift arrivals during the month.
The plant managers had all the right intentions when they implemented the award program. Absenteeism and tardiness costs US companies as much as $3 billion a year. And in the case of the laundry plant, one worker's tardiness or absence can affect another's productivity. If one team of workers falls behind on the job, for example, other workers down the line are left to sit idle.
The plant's attendance award program began in March 2011 and continued for nine months. Employees with perfect attendance for a month, including no unexcused absences or tardy shift arrivals, were entered into a drawing to win a $75 gift card to a local restaurant or store; the winner's name was drawn at a meeting attended by all the employees. At the end of the sixth month, the plant manager held another drawing for a $100 gift card for all employees with perfect attendance records over the previous six months.
The program did produce one benefit the plant managers were looking for: it reduced the average level of tardiness and led to more punctual arrivals for the workers who participated.

AIRING DIRTY LAUNDRY

Yet when Larkin and his colleagues took a closer look at employee time sheets and records showing the amount of laundry that actually got done both before and after the program was introduced, they found that the plant—unlike the other four that didn't have an award program—experienced some problems:
First, employees ended up "gaming" the program, showing up on time only when they were eligible for the award and, in some cases, calling in sick rather than reporting late. Most interestingly, workers were 50 percent more likely to have an unplanned "single absence" after the award was implemented, suggesting that employees who would otherwise have arrived to work tardy on a certain day might instead either call in sick to avoid disqualification or else simply stay home because they would be disqualified from the award regardless.
Also, while punctuality improved during the first few months of the program, old patterns of tardiness started to emerge in later months. And once employees became disqualified and the carrot of the award was out of their reach, their punctual behavior slipped back downhill. Larkin says this runs counter to what some people believe—that such an award program might instill a long-term pattern of on-time performance in workers.
The hope is that with the award "you get them to do what you want them to do in a habitual way," Larkin says. "But we can say it's the exact opposite. There was only a change in behavior while people were eligible for the award."
Second, and perhaps more significantly, stellar employees who previously had excellent attendance and were highly productive ended up suffering a 6 to 8 percent productivity decrease after the program was introduced. This suggests that these employees were actually turned off—and their motivation dropped—when the managers introduced awards for good behavior they were already exhibiting.
These workers may have believed that the award program was unfair; after all, they had been showing up to work on time before the attendance program, so they wondered why an award was necessary and why some employees who used to show up late were winning the award.
"The award demotivated these employees," says Larkin, who interviewed workers at the plant to gain additional insight. "people believed it was unfair to recognize people who only changed their behavior because of this award. They felt that 'I'm a hard worker, and now they're giving awards for something like attendance. What about me?' "
All in all, the award program actually led to a decrease in plant productivity by 1.4 percent, which added up to a cost of almost $1,500 a month for the plant.
"Having your top performers demotivated for all eight hours on the job ended up creating a much bigger productivity hit than having the extra five minutes of work from someone who came habitually late," Larkin says.
Ultimately, the researchers concluded that rewarding one behavior sometimes can "crowd out" intrinsic motivation in another.
【OBSTACLE ENDS – 889 WORDS】

【THE REST】
REWARDS THAT WORK

Despite the fact that this particular award brought more harm than good, many other types of award incentives have proven beneficial for companies. But Larkin says corporate managers should manage them closely to make sure that employees aren't gaming the system and that the programs aren't fostering unintended negative effects.
"Many award programs have created value and are cost-effective for companies," he says. "Our paper shouldn't be taken as a blanket criticism of awards. You can't say awards are good or bad. It depends on how they're implemented."
This particular attendance award may have been especially flawed because rather than rewarding workers for exceptional performance, it rewarded them for fulfilling a basic job expectation.
"A lot of awards are focused on identifying people at the top of the class or people who went the extra mile," Larkin says. "This award did not recognize people who went above and beyond. It was an award for a behavior that employees should do."
Also, Larkin believes that awards are more effective when they recognize good behavior in the past, rather than behavior going forward. Plus awards for past performance aren't likely to see as much gaming, he says.
"It's motivational to hear that you've done a good job and are being recognized for doing the right thing," he says. "And it provides a good example for other people. people aren't being rewarded because they changed their behavior to match what the manager wanted or by gaming."
Larkin says that in the laundry study, the reward itself—gift cards—may have led to a higher likelihood of gaming. Sometimes it's better to keep money out of the deal.
"people respond very strongly to monetary incentives with this gaming mentality," he says. "When I talk to companies about award programs, I find myself telling them, 'Don't put in that $500 or the trip to the Bahamas.' It sounds like a nice thing to put in, but it also changes the psychological mindset people have."
Instead, Larkin says that companies may fare better just by giving people a nice plaque, sending an email to staff, or calling a meeting to recognize certain workers publicly in front of the whole crew.
"You can't put a price on that. The recognition of hearing you did a good job and that others are hearing about it is worth more than money."

4-2'38
5-2'23
The surprising and staggering inference from some scientists that the reason for people to pursue humongous and enormous wealth is eventually and ultimately the protection of death or the desire of immortality.

6-5'50
The passage mainly questions and impeaches a common misconception and fallacy that award like monetary incentive carried into effect by managers to reward the stellar employees or behaviors will improve the mindset of employees or the air of company.
At first, the author presents his or her gist mentioned above forthrightly and straightforwardly. Then, some evidences are mentioned to exemplified author's sentiment and opinion. Concretely speaking, a HBS assistant professor, along with a professor and a phD in another college, carried a research in one laundry company, collected and garnered some valuable and dispensable information through many ways, and finally drew an astounding and astonishing conclusion.
According to the researchers, the actual performance of employees and corporate revenues after starting the award policy shatter and smash the manager's expectation about tackling and resolving current bad employee attendance rate. Plus, researchers made some further analysis and appraisal and attributed this amazing and startling finding to several reasons, say, the lack of perseverance of keeping good attendance, the decline of production of former well-performance worker, and the epidemic air of gaming among all crews.
Finally, the author further discusses award policy in a company to a broad extent and states that not all awards fare badly, or even to the opposite condition. At last, the author mentions some distinction between a successful award policy and an inept one.

Reasons why money is related to living forever
1.We have ascribe a symbolic and emotional value to money far beyond the value what it can buy for us.
2.We tend to overestimate the physical size of things we consider to be important.

It seems that companies recognize their workers in an award may inspire workers. But actually it has opposite effects.
An experiment shows that after a reward program is implemented,the tardiness phenomenon are actually improved.But employees show up on time only when eligible for awards and call in sick rather than report late. What is more, punctuality improved only in the first few month and old patterns emerge again.
Reasons for these phenomenon.

Advice about the rewarding program
1.Managers should reward the workers for exceptional performance rather than what they should do .
2.Managers should reward workers relating to their past performance
3.Mental reward sometimes is better than substantial reward.

online dating sites are likely to lead to more satisfying marriage than other venues online. reasons may be that there're more possibilities, people there are more marriage-focused. in addition, online meeting may make people more honest when expressing themselves.

The author describes that award for the performance of employee may also lead to opposite expectation, although there are some positive feedback for the award plan for employee.
In the laundry plant example, for one thing, some employee will find excuse to avoid the unqualified award and after the award the morale of the workers decrease. For another, some employees who previously pefectly perform complain that why previously they did not get the reward, and why those employees who perform better but just in this time award period get award?

2'20
The essential process for a successful award is how to implement the reward. First, the award should incetive the top or beyond performance, rather than the required action. Second, the award should incentive the performance in the past rather than the performance in the future.

神猴神猴，问你个问题，我的平均阅读时间都比别人要长，比如这个obstacle我要阅读8分钟，其中可能还存在 ...

一开始我也是这样觉得的，认为别人的读速是我的两三倍这太不可思议了。但是事实上，的确经常读的人就能快你这么多……
不过你也不要太沮丧，这里面还涉及到一个问题是“默读"和视读的人的认知方式不同，他们的读速本身就是无法对比的。很明显，看一下就懂而不需要心里读出声音，读速秒杀你。咳咳。但是两种人群各有优势。

那么关于读速的问题，总帖里面有详细写过：http://forum.chasedream.com/thread-710284-1-1.html

2、我的速度计时是别人的两倍？？！
即便是小分队里的大牛们，也有读速快慢之分。而且你所看到的别人的计时，永远不能适用在你自己身上。
道理很简单，对方训练时间长短、对文章的理解程度、是否默读、是否做笔记，等等等等，都会对速度产生很大的影响。不是说速度快就一定是好的。
比如一个新人的训练进程可能分为：读速慢、理解差 -- 读速快、理解差 -- 读速放慢、理解好 -- 读速快、理解好。这4个过程。
正确的阅读习惯应该是，每读一段，适当停顿总结回忆段落大意和全文逻辑，然后再继续读后面的部分。
这样读完之后你会发现你虽然读文章的时间略长，但是文章大意了然于胸，对于非细节题基本可以不看原文就做对。最后反而节省了更多时间。
All in all, don't pay too much attention to others' Speed!

3、关于默读
神猴亲身检验过这个默读的问题，欢迎大家来看这个讨论：默读讨论
总结下来的结论就是，默读涉及的是长期认知习惯，这个没有1-2年是无法快速扭转的！（但是可以适度控制）然而默读实际不影响你达到应试要求的150-200 wpm。
所以回过头，神猴又要强调那句话：NEVER pay too much attention to others' Speed!

基本上你可以先提速至150 wpm以上，然后必定你一次是有很多地方读不懂的，包括到现在我依然也有很多地方不懂，小分队有很多老队友即便考完试依然留在这里坚持阅读就是这个道理，这个将是未来商学院或者商业社会主要的阅读素材，而如果真的都懂了，他们早就不在这里了。不夸张的说，小分队的阅读素材的难度（尤其越障），肯定是高于GMAT RC平均难度的。

那么我建议，在复习之余有时间的前提下，重新不计时地精读一遍文章，把不懂的地方搞懂。
同时你一定要明确你运用小分队训练的策略是什么？
1、是锻炼”回忆逻辑框架“的能力？那么你的重点应放在写回忆，而不是精读。
2、是提升基础理解力？那么你的重点就是第二遍的精读。解决那些你不懂得单词和难句。（后期我会出一个帖子介绍怎么最高效的提升理解力）
3、是要做泛读积累？那么通常就是计时读完，不写回忆的那种。（这种可能是因为个人计划时间有限等原因。但是你坚持了泛读的习惯，总比你什么也没读要好。）

hi~
我的方法是有侧重的读吧。
比如文章在某一段要论述一个叫XX的人的观点，在第一个引号后面，经常会跟上很长一截对XX身份的介绍，是哪个university的，组织了一个啥啥teamBLABLA。。然后这个后面再来第二个引号。我通常是看到类似身份介绍这样的就迅速的瞟一眼然后略去，重点衔接上两个引号的内容读。
我开始读越障也是每句都认真读，后来发现我如果读一引号，再读中间那些介绍，再读下一个引号，我对这个人想要表达的意思理解非常不连贯，必须再回读一遍两个引号的内容才能理解到位。之后再看到类似的段落，我就试着把中间无效部分速速扫过，立刻接着读下一个引号，发现效果很不错，时间节省了大意把握还能一步到位。不过，我觉得这个方法只能说比较适用于读小分队的酱的新闻类的文章吧= = 考试不能这么来。。。
另外我自己的一个体会是---单词量好重要。地道的文章没啥长难句，单词量是个大瓶颈。
还有读的多了速度自然也会上去。我从18-15才开始跟，刚开始的时候因为太长时间没阅读了做小分队的作业好痛苦，坚持了一个系列下来觉得有非常明显的改善。再做OG上的题目体会更明显。
我的意见是非专业哈，你可以参考着试试。

There is a study published to show that marriages coming from online datings are more satisfying than conventional datings. From the research we can see that 35% people get married because of online datings, while only 8% of them get separated or divorced later. Even though some people think the finding is surprising, others still suspect the result, because the people think the research is not convincing.
2.2-23
There are several possible reasons that explain why people date online will be more satisfied than those date off-line. For example, some people think that the online dating will enable us to see more people, while the off-line dating is limited. Or perhaps, when people date online, they can feel more free and express themselves more openly. At least, the online dating does not make the situation worse.
3.1-54
Scientists recently do two tests and find out that the relationship between death and money. The more anxious people feel about death, the more important they think the money.
4.1-54
Although owing money can help us to be healthy and enjoy safe environment, it does not make sure that we really experience the longer life. We usually boast the value of money, thus creating emotional conditions for ourselves to enjoy the power of money.
5.2-02
Purchasing wealth and fame is not wrong, and it does help us feel the power of life in some degree. However, the author recommends that we not spend too much our time and energy owing money, thus becoming the slave of the salary, and we enjoy the pleasure of travelling.
6.5-52
The traditional theory is that awarding system can improve the productivity. However, some researchers recently do some investigations to show that the actual result may sometimes be opposite. At the beginning of the awarding system, the laundary company sees that the increase in the productivity, while during a long time the company sees that the productivity decrease. Why could this result happen? Researchers suggest that the system may demotivate the workers who originally perform well in the companies, because they think that the system is unfair to give awards to those work does not work early. So the award system may sometime lose its intended power.

A new study shows that marriages getting start online are more satisfying and are less likely to end in divorce.
Then a research finds that the lower percentage of those who met online got separated or divorced, and the increased marital satisfaction among people meeting online.
But Finkel thinks that the conclusion that online marriages are better is premature.
The author cites several potential explanation for differences between online and off-line marital, while it’s still not clear whether online dating ultimately makes better matches.

A series of ingenious experiments show that money makes people feel live forever.
Meanwhile, the more people are worried about death, the more important money becomes to them.
Cash actually help people command the unconscious stuff in the world, but the pursuit of wealth is a death-denial mechanism.
The author suggests people not become slaves to their salary.

-A new research is given to indicate that some awards demotivate the employees.
-The weak points of a attendance award program:
1)Employees showed up on time only when they were eligible for the award, and called in sick to avoid disqualification or else simply stayed home because they would be disqualified from the award regardless.
2)Once employees became disqualified, their punctual behavior slipped back downhill.
3)Stellar employees who previously had excellent attendance and were highly productive ended up suffering a 6 to 8 percent productivity decrease after the program was introduced.
-The award incentives are beneficial for companies only when employees aren't gaming the system and when the programs aren't fostering unintended negative effects.
The recognition of hearing you did a good job and that others are hearing about it is worth more than money.

1.网上交友然后结婚然后再离婚的比率比正常结婚离婚的比率小。原因是个人性格，不面对面比较舒服子自在，而且有针对性，但是这个比率的差距也说明不了什么，因为这个差距not suffient，而且这个调查的来源也不是很准确因为是网上交友的网站自己做的调查，但是不管准确与否又很开心的到这个结果，因为至少说明网上交友没坏处。

2.毁三观啊，人努力挣钱是为了活得长，你可能会说是为了社会地位自尊啥的努力工作。通过两个实验，就是数钱的和数纸币的然后问他们的感觉，还有就是说他们的痛苦，然后用钱数来衡量，都证明了该结论。还讲了钱的作用可以用来享受更好的医疗，更安全的环境等等。还说了为了自尊地位其实是与为了活得长挣钱是一样的。最后说不管怎么都会end in the same way.要活的好一点，去旅游吧！

3.通常认为一些奖励会提高士气，但是研究发现会起到相反的作用，举例公司的出勤率award，一个公司开始没实施后来引入了，第一没引入之前老请病假，同时引入之后开始会在乎按时出勤，后来就慢慢滑坡了，第二原来按时来的员工会觉得很不公平，因为他们原来按时出勤了，原来不按时出勤的现在反而成了winner，demotivated .所以这个出勤率的award要弄得好，不要起相反作用，这个出勤率的award通常都不好，所以还是整一些别的award吧

timer1 a study found that people who get married by online meeting are less likely to divorce than people get married in other ways,however,expert F claim that this conclusion is not convincing because the sample of the poll is not large enough.the satisfication of marriage are not linked with how couples met each other,differnent kinds of meeting places are linked with different marital prospects.
timer2 differences between chatting rooms and online dating websitesd&differences between meeting offline and meeting online.no enough evidence show that online dating will ultimately make better matches,but it doesn't make things worse.
timer3 wealth are related to living forever.two studies to confirm this conclusion:the first one reveals that people who are counting cash reduce their fear of death.the second experiment shows that the more people are worried about death,the more important money becomes to them.
timer4 the power of money gives people the feeling of commanding the world.as it is in a P winner's theory,the pursuit of money is like a death-denial mechanism.
timer5 other examples to show the relationship with wealth and immortality.however, there is another example points out that people cannot be the slave to their salary.

obstacle:it seems reasonable that when companies recognize their employees with awards,employees would be inspired to work harder.but actually the truth is that the awards for the good behavior of employees will have a negative effect.
->an example of a company
->reason

studies found that some awards may not motivate employee work harder but have the opposite effect.
the attendance awards experiment showed no beneficial but more punctual
making an explanation about the opposite result.
  1> employee ended up "gaming" the program
  2> the most productive workers may believe that the award program was unfair ,and thus the award demotivated these employee.
whether have good effect of awards depend on how to award---rewarding for exceptional performance rather than for fulfilling a basic job expectation.

The unexpected results of a research oriented to reveal the quality of marriages started online indicates that those marriages are more satisfying and less likely to end up in divorce.
However, the conclusion that online marriage is better is still premature without sufficient and solid evidence.
1’00’’
This part of the passage explores the possible reasons why online marriage assumes a better result. People tend to disclose themselves more and feel more comfortable when talking with others online than face-to face.

1’38’’
People persist in their desk to acquire wealth and then to pursue an eternal life. Several researches have revealed this surprising connection.

The subconscious that money can command even death itself
Defense mechanism to protect us from the terror of mortality

The history abounds with these examples to prove the idea discussed above. We should realize that our subconscious is directing us to make every effort to earn us an eternal life, which is, however, impossible. So why not take a long vacation instead.

The rewarding plan may backfire if implanted improperly. The passage offers the example of a company to support his idea. And the passage then explores the reasons lurking in the unexpected phenomenon. In the last, the passage reveals the reward mechanism that works.

OBSTACLE:
MI: New research shows that rewarding employees for good behavior can actually backfire, leading to a drop in motivation and productivity.

Structure:
Two reasons: 1)gaming the program after the reward (less attendance rate, more unplanned single absence"; 2)stellar workers may suffer productivity decrease after the reward.

However, some other rewards have proven beneficial for companies. You can't say awards are good or bad. It depends on how they are implemented.

The effective reward should be:
1)reward workers for exceptional performance, rather than for their basic job expectation.
2)rewards for past performance rather than forward performance.
3)Keep money out of the deal.
4)praise people with top performance publicly in front of the whole crew. the recognition of hearing is important.

Time1: 2.26 [379]
A study indicates that more marriages now start from online. Some researchs(researchers) even get the conclusion that the online marriages have lower devorce (divorce) rate than the tranditional (traditional) ones while other researchs (researcher) think this kind of conclusions are still premature.

Time2: 2:33 [356]
This part states why online marital is appealing, because it provides more opportunity and people would like to be more comfortable to show the true personality. However, this part also mentions that the survey is funded by the online marital agency (online dating site), the survey results might be suspicious (suspicious).

Part2-Obstacle
Article 3: 5:31 [889]
This article states some companys (companies) give out gift or award to employee to encourage them to get better performance and increase productivity. However, a new study shows that the reward program might not bring these kinds of benefits, sometime might hurt the performance or productivity. The study demonstrates the concerns by a landry (laundry) plant case.

The structure of the article:
The old prospective of the award => the new study result of the award =>give example to show the drawbacks of the award program => and explore why employee do not like the award, on one side the people who are not eligable (eligible) for the award will not try to get it, on the other side the people who already did good against the request might feel unfair for the award.

The rest: 2:24 [395]
The company managers need to pay attention to the design of the award. To prevent the negtive (negative) effect and to bring benefits from award, it's better to consider how to encourage the employee to keep good behaviors instead of award simply hard word, etc. And public recogoniton (recognition) might be better than money award.
