3年高考2年模拟1年原创备战2017高考精品系列之英语：专题28 任务型阅读（江苏）（原卷版）

　　When conscientiousness takes the form of living up to expectations, it can discourage creativity. In creative professions like art or advertising, openness to wild ideas and spontaneity (自发性) are scarce and in demand. Success in such occupations calls for a balance, however; without enough conscientiousness to follow through, people become mere dreamers, with nothing to show for their imaginativeness.

　　“Happiness Advantage” Effect

　　In July 2010 Burt's Bees, a personalcare products company, was going through enormous change as it began a global expansion into 19 new countries. In this kind of highpressure situation, many leaders bother their assistants with frequent meetings or flood their inboxes with urgent demands. In doing so, managers lift everyone's anxiety level, which activates the part of the brain that processes threats and steals resources from the prefrontal cortex (大脑皮层), which is responsible for effective problem solving.

　　Burt's Bees's thenCEO, John Wolfgang, took a different approach. Each day, he'd send out an email praising a team member for work related to global marketing. He'd interrupt his own presentations to remind his managers to talk with their teams about the company' s values. He asked me to further a threehour session with employees on happiness in the course of the expansion effort. As one member of the senior team told me a year later, Wolfgang' s emphasis on developing positive leadership kept his managers actively involved and loyal as they successfully transformed the company into a global one.
