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.
A)maintain B)challenging C)eliminate D)internal
E)hinder F)especially G)restore H)monetary
I)ordinary J)aid K)external L)anticipation
M)generally N)token O)mental [br] 【C5】

选项

答案 H

解析此处应填形容词。联系前文，认知学研究专家认为那些奖励破坏了创造性，因为奖励助长了对他人的认可和物质方面的依赖，这种观点尤其得到了教育学家的支持，“但是……奖励……”，本句有转折，平行阅读后发现small rewards和approval and gifts应表示同样的意思，选项中monetary“金钱的”符合句意。
