More and more, the operations of our
businesses, governments, and financial institutions are controlled by
information that exists only inside computer memories. Anyone clever enough to
modify this information for his own purposes can reap big reward. Even worse, a
number of people who have done this and been caught at it have managed to get
away without punishment.
It’s easy for computer crimes to go
undetected if no one checks up on what the computer is doing. But even if the
crime is detected, the criminal may walk away not only unpunished but with a
glowing recommendation from his former employers.
Of course, we
have no statistics on crimes that go undetected. But it’s disturbing to note how
many of the crimes we do know about were detected by accident, not by systematic
inspections or other security procedures. The com

Psychologists take opposing views of
how external rewards, from warm praise to cold cash, affect motivation and
creativity. Behaviorists, 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 mental life, maintain
that rewards often destroy creativity by encouraging dependence on approval and
gifts from others.
The latter view has gained many supporters,
especially among educators. But the careful use of small monetary rewards sparks
creativity in grade-school children, suggesting that properly presented
inducements indeed aid inventiveness, according to a study in the June Journal
of Personality and Social Psychology.

working for a reward and can focus on a relatively challengin
A. the choice between spiritual encouragement and monetary rewards

Passage Five
The age at which young children begin to make moral discriminations about harmful actions committed against themselves or others has been the focus of recent research into the moral development of children. Until recently, child psychologists supported pioneer developmentalist Jean. Piaget in his hypothesis that because of their immaturity, children under age seven do not take into account the intentions of a person commit- ting accidental or deliberate harm, but rather simply assign punishment for on the basis of the magnitude of the negative consequences caused. According to Piaget, children under age seven occupy the first stage of moral development, which is characterizsd by moral absolutism (rules made by authorities must be obeyed) and imminent justice (if rules are broken, punishment will be meted out). Until youn
A. An outline for future research.
B. An expanded definition of commonly misunderstood terms.

Standard usage include those words and
expressions understood, used, and accepted by a majority of the speakers of a
language in any situation regardless of the level of formality. As such, these
words and expressions are well defined and listed in standard dictionaries.
Colloquialisms, on the other hand, are familiar words and idioms that are
understood by almost all speakers of language and used in informal speech or
writing, but not considered acceptable for more formal situations. Almost
all idiomatic expressions are colloquial language. Slang, however, refers
to words and expressions understood by a large number of speakers but not
accepted as appropriate formal usage by the majority. Colloquial expressions and
even slang may be found in standard dictionaries but will be so identified. Both
colloquial usage and slang are more
A. Standard speech.

Architects are hopeless when it comes
to deciding whether the public will view their designs as marvels or
monstrosities, according to a study by Canadian psychologists. They say
designers should go back to school to learn about ordinary people’s
tastes.
Many buildings that appeal to architects get the thumbs
down from the public. Robert Gifford of the University of Victoria in British
Columbia decided to find out whether architects understand public preferences
and simply disagree with them, or fail to understand the lay person’s
view.
With his colleague Graham Brown, he asked 25 experienced
architects to look at photos of 42 large buildings in the US, Canada, Europe and
Hong Kong. The architects predicted how the public would rate the buildings on a
scale of 1 to 10, where 1 represented "terrible” and 10"excellent". A fur
A. panders to the lowest common denominator
B. gets a low rate from the architects
C. appeals to the public as well as the architects
D. gives the architects a lot of aspiration
