In a recent meeting we attended, the word “culture” came up 27 times in 90 minutes. Business leaders all

believe a strong organizational culture is 1 to success, yet culture tends to feel like some magic force that few

know how to control. In our study, we find that answering the following three questions can help transform culture

from a mystery to a(n) 2 :

How does culture drive performance?

After analyzing 50 major companies, we came to one conclusion: 3 we work determines how well we

work. The companies most famous for their cultures maximize the positive motives ( 动机), while minimizing the

negative ones.

The six main reasons for which people work are “play, purpose, potential, emotional pressure, economic

pressure, and inertia (惯性)”. The latter three motives tend to 4 performance. That is because those people are

no longer thinking about work. They’re thinking about the disappointment, or the 5 , or why they’re bothering to

do it at all. They don’t 6 the quality of the work itself. By contrast, a high-performing 7 always maximizes

the play, purpose, and potential, which is known as creating total motivation.

What is culture worth?

While it is 8 to measure whether someone is being creative, it’s relatively easy to calculate total motivation

of an organization. Take for example the airline industry. All airline companies share the same terminals and use the

same planes, but customer satisfaction 9 widely across airlines. When we measured the total motivation of

employees of four major airlines, and compared the result with customer satisfaction, we saw that an airline’s

culture closely 10 customer satisfaction. 11 , cultures that inspired more play, purpose, and potential

produced better customer outcomes, and in turn generated more profits.

What elements in an organization 12 motivation?

By surveying thousands of workers, we found the most sensitive element is whether an organization can allow

an employee to 13 with its mission and behavioral code. For example, Medtronic enables its engineers to see

how the medical devices they’ve designed are used in hospitals, so that they can see the purpose of their work. An

executive of Walmart, the well-known supermarket, told us that in monthly meetings he always emphasized how

much Walmart had saved for the 14 —rather than how much money Walmart had made.

A great culture is not easy to build. Leaders have to treat culture building as an engineering project, not a 15

It was the morning before I was presenting a paper at an academic conference in Paris. Unexpectedly, the

babysitter I’d 16 for to watch my daughter texted to say she couldn’t 17 it. Worried I’d have to cancel the

18 , I asked the organizers, two men, if they knew of any last-minute babysitters.

“ 19 her!” they said. “We’ll watch her well.”

So, with uncertainty and anxiety, I did. While I presented my 20 in a theater hall, they entertained my

daughter by letting her draw on the whiteboard and 21 on the walls. During the Q&A, my daughter demanded

to be 22 . As she sucked, her diaper (尿布) leaked onto my trousers. Afterward, several people came up to me to

23 me for my bringing her. A woman said that one of her favorite 24 was bringing her daughter to her

workplace.

Unfortunately, my experience is not the 25 practice. For most working women, bringing their children to

work or having a flexible 26 is not an option. When flexibility is offered, it comes with a huge 27 :

advancement to higher positions is less likely for parents, usually mothers, who 28 flexibility. In 2016, only 200

companies had official 29 allowing children to 30 at a workplace during working hours. 31 , bringing

children to work is a rising phenomenon.

32 , in bringing this generation of children to working events or offices, I’m sure we’re teaching them a

valuable lesson about work-life 33 . My hope is that, when these children become leaders, they’ll 34 we

didn’t shut them out of work spaces. 35 , they will build the policies for a fairer and more enjoyable workplace.

二、阅读理解

As a winner of the NSLI-Y Scholarship in high school, and then the Critical Language Scholarship in college,

I lived in China for two summers with host families, studying Chinese for nine hours a day. Tack on to that the

approximately 2,000 classroom hours I spent learning Chinese as an undergraduate, and it seems fair to say that a

small fortune of resources has been invested in my Chinese ability.

Yet even with so much practice, I am not still achieving fluency, and it's unclear whether I’ll use my language
