[单选题]Sometimes I scratch my head when I read about the government′s efforts to improve schools:new standards and tests to be applied,strict teacher evaluations,and threats of school closures and?job losses．They frighten the school employees,not to mention the students．Instead of making people?unable to solve problems or try new ideas—which is what fear does to us—research on school reform?strongly suggests that policy-makers should encourage school leaders to take a more humane?approach．In their study on the reform efforts of twelve Chicago public schools,Bryk and Schneider found that enabling positive social relationships between the adults was the key to successful school?improvement and that trust was at the heart of those relationships． Trust in schools comes down to one thing:psychological safety or safety to speak one′s mind,to?discuss with openness and honesty what is and isn′t working,to make collective decisions． Yet this kind of safety doesn′t come easily to schools．According to Bryk and Schneider,the?adults in school rely on each other to do their jobs correctly and with integrity(正直)．The challenge?is that our expectations are very diverse based on our unique backgrounds． At one school where I taught,each teacher had different expectations about how much extra?effort teachers should put into their work—a big difference between the teachers who left after the?last bell and those who worked into the evening．And when expectations are unconscious or?unspoken,it becomes impossible for others to live up to them． We also make assumptions about the intentions behind a person′s behavior．As we all know,assumptions are often wrong．For example,parents and teachers may think the principal made a?particular decision based on his career advancement rather than what′s best for the students．If we?don′t feel psychologically safe to question our assumptions and expectations,trust flies out the?window and our relationships suffer． What does the author say about the assumptions made about the intentions behind a person′s behavior?《》（）

[单选题]Of all Barry H．Landau's anecdotes about his friendships with presidential dogs,perhaps the best is the one about the time the Clinton White House called to postpone his play-date with Buddy． Yes,Landau is both human and an adult,a 60-year-old author,presidential historian,former White House protocol officer and memorabilia collector．But so enamored is he of dogs,and so well connected to a succession of presidents,that he had an appointment for a South Lawn romp one day with Buddy,Bill Clinton's Labrador retriever(拉布拉多犬). Logistics got in the way,though,and hence Clinton secretary Betty Currie's apologetic voice mail left at the Smithsonian Institution,where Landau was doing research:"I'm sorry,but we'll have to reschedule Mr．Landau's play-date with Buddy." Not surprisingly,this is a happy week for Landau,with the new Obama family dog,Bo,joining a White House tradition that dates to George Washington．It's one that Landau feels is invaluable to a presidency. "Having a dog just humanizes a president,"he says．"It completes the picture．It's something people can relate to." And Landau has related to the best of them．He's known about 25 White House dogs since the Eisenhower administration．Among the presidential-pooch memorabilia in his Manhattan apartment are matching orange inaugural dog coats worn by LBJ's twin beagles(小猎犬),Him and Her,and a photo of Landau kissing Clipper,JFK's German shepherd. According to Landau,why is it important for a president to have a dog?
A.It increases his chances of being reelecte
B.It humanizes the president,making him easier to relate t
C.It shows that the president can care for an anima
D.It is the tradition of White House as a presiden
