(2015内蒙古赤峰高三最后一模)【科普知识类】

　　An experiment was carried out at British school into the performance of new pupils.At the start of the year,the pupils were each given a rating,ranging from “excellent prospect?to 搖nlikely to do well?These were totally untrue ratings and did not reflectood how well the pupils had previously performed.However,these ratings were given to the teachers.At the end of the year,the experimenters compared the pupils?performance with the ratings.Despite their real abilities,there was an astonishingly high connectiodn between performance and ratings.It seems that people perform as well as we expect them to.

　　The Self-fulfilling Effect is also known as the Pygmalion(皮格马利翁) Effect.This comes from an old Greek story.The story was also the basis of George Bernard Shaw’s play Pygmalion,later turned into the musical My Fair Lady.In Shaw’s play,Professor Henry Higgins claims he can turn a Cockney flower girl,Eliza Doolittle into a duchess(女公爵).But,as Eliza herself points out to Higgins’ friend Pickering,it isn’t what she learns or does that determines whether she will become a duchess,but how she’s treated.

　　The implication(含义) of the Pygmalion Effect for leaders and managers is massive.It means that the performance of your team depends less on them than it does on you.The performance you get from people is no more or less than what you expect,which means you must always expect the best.As Goethe said,“Treat a man as he is and he will remain as he is.Treat a man as he can and should be and he will become as he can and should be.”
