问题     Psychologists take opposing views of how【C1】______rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and creativity. Behaviourists, who study the relation between actions and their consequences, argue that rewards can improve performance at work and school. Cognitive researchers, who study various aspects of【C2】______life,【C3】______those rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and gifts from others.
    The latter view has gained many supporters,【C4】______among educators. But the careful use of small【C5】______rewards sparks in grade-school children suggesting that properly presented inducements indeed【C6】______inventiveness, according to a study in the June Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.
    "If they know they’re working for a reward and can focus on a relatively【C7】______task, they show the most creativity," says Robert Eisenberger of the University of Delaware in Newark. "But it’s easy to kill creativity by giving rewards for poor performance or creating too much【C8】______for rewards."
    A teacher who continually draws attention to rewards or who hands out high grades for ordinary achievement ends up with uninspired students, Eisenberger holds. As an example of the latter point, he notes growing efforts at major universities to tighten grading standards and 【C9】______falling grades.
    In earlier grades, the use of so-called【C10】______economies, in which students handle challenging problems and receive performance-based points toward valued rewards, shows promise in raising effort and creativity, the Delaware psychologist claims.

I)ordinary J)aid K)external L)anticipation
M)generally N)token O)mental [br] 【C7】
选项
答案 B
解析 此处应填形容词。可选项有challenging和ordinary，句意为“如果孩子们知道他们在为获得奖励而努力，并且能专注于相对 的任务，那么他们就会表现出很强的创造力”，故challenging“挑战的”更符合句意。
