外刊精选｜耶鲁近八成学生拿A，成绩“优秀”还有用吗？
最近有调查指出，美国常春藤名校耶鲁大学近80%的本科学生，在上一学年都拿到了A或A-的成绩，使得整体成绩呈现上升趋势，这种情况被称为“成绩通胀”（grade inflation）。数据显示，耶鲁大学本科生上一学年的平均绩点高达3.7（满分4.0）。无独有偶，包括哈佛大学在内的精英名校也倾向于给予学生高于全国平均分的成绩。“成绩通胀”这一趋势是如何形成的？它引发了怎样的争议？
Nearly Everyone Gets A's at Yale. Does That Cheapen the Grade
By Amelia Nierenberg
Nearly 80 percent of all grades given to undergraduates at Yale last academic year were A's or A minuses, part of a sharp increase that began during the coronavirus pandemic and appears to have stuck, according to a new report.
The findings have frustrated some students, alumni and professors. What does excellence mean at Yale, they wonder, if most students get the equivalent of "excellent" in almost every class
The sharp post-pandemic spike in grades is not unique to Yale. At Harvard, 79 percent of all grades given to undergraduates in the 2020-21 year were also A's or A minuses.
"Grades are like any currency," said Stuart Rojstaczer, a retired Duke University professor who tracks grade inflation: They tend to increase over time. Private colleges tend to have higher average G.P.A.s than public schools. "They are actively championing their students by giving them higher grades than the national average," he said, of elite schools. "They want their students to have a competitive edge."
Pericles Lewis, the dean of Yale College, said students could be overly concerned about their G.P.A.s. "I don't think many people care, 10 years out, what kind of grades you got at Yale," he said. "They mostly care that you, you know, you studied at Yale."
But students — and graduate programs — do care about undergraduate grades. Others worried about Yale's grade inflation becoming public knowledge. They feared it could cheapen their degrees — or obscure their hard work to skeptical employers.

As the concept of emotional intelligence (EI) has gone global, we’ve watched professionals fail as they try to improve their emotional intelligence because they either don’t know where to focus their efforts or they haven’t understood how to improve these skills on a practical level. In our work consulting with companies and coaching leaders, we have found that if you’re looking to develop particular EI strengths, it helps to consider areas for improvement others have identified along with the goals you want to achieve and then to actively build habits in those areas rather than simply relying on understanding them conceptually.
The first step is to get a sense of how your self-perception (how you see yourself) differs from your reputation (how others see you). This is especially true for the development of EI because we can be blind to how we express and read the emotional components of our interactions. For example, most of us think that we’re good listeners, but very often that’s really not the case. Without this external reality check, it will be difficult for you to identify the ways that your actions affect your performance. Getting teed back from others can also provide proof of the necessity of shifting our behavior and motivation to do so.
To give you the best sense of where the differences lie between your self-perception and reputation, you should use a 360-degree feedback assessment that takes into account the multiple aspects of EI. The key is to find one to give you feedback, which is focused on development and not on performance assessment. And that can give you a detailed understanding of how other people’s assessments of you differ from your own assessments.
Secondly, when you get your feedback from an assessment, let that inform what you want to improve. But also consider what your goals are. When it comes to cultivating strengths in emotional intelligence, you’re at a huge disadvantage if you’re only interested because others say you should be. Your emotional intelligence is so tied up in your sense of self that being intrinsically (内在的) motivated to make the effort matters more when changing longstanding habits than it does when simply learning a skill.
That means the areas that you choose to actively work on should lie at the intersection of the feedback you’ve gotten and the areas that are most important to your own aspirations (抱负). Understanding the influences of your current EI habits relative to your goals will keep you going over a long period at time as you do the work or strengthening your emotional intelligence.
47.What do we know from the first paragraph
A.EI can be better improved with others’ help.
B.Leaders are badly in need of improving their EI.
C.EI plays a key role in professional development.
D.Professionals fail to understand the concepts of EI.

A.You help your siblings make a key decision.
B.Your career development speeds up with others’ help.
C.You reflected yourself and made a New Year resolution.
D.Your teacher directed you towards a better attitude in study.
49.What’s the main idea of Paragraph 4
A.To improve your EI, following your inner call is the most reliable.
B.It’s bard for others to know your EI because it hides deep inside.
C.To improve your EI, you should take your goals into consideration.
D.Acquiring a new skill is more significant than improving your EI.
50.Which of the following might the author agree with
A.Your inner self discourages you from improving your EI.
B.Effective EI development is determined by different factors.
C.The importance of performance assessment is underestimated.
D.EI development is unlikely to happen unless you know what EI is.

在耶鲁大学，几乎人人都拿A。这会让成绩贬值吗？
根据一份新报告，在上一学年耶鲁大学给予本科生的成绩中，近80%都是A或A-。这种成绩急剧上升的情况始于新冠疫情期间，而现在这种趋势似乎已经成为了一种常态。
这些发现让一部分学生、校友以及教授感到沮丧，他们不禁想问，如果大多数学生几乎在每门课上，都能得到相当于“优秀”的成绩，那么在耶鲁，优秀又意味着什么呢？
在后疫情时代，优异成绩的剧增并非耶鲁独有。过去的2020-2021学年，在哈佛大学给予本科生的所有成绩中，有79%是A或A-。
“成绩就像货币一样，”斯图尔特·罗杰斯塔泽（Stuart Rojstaczer）说道，他是杜克大学的一名退休教授，一直在追踪成绩通胀的趋势：成绩往往会随着时间的推移而上升，并且私立学校的平均绩点通常比公立学校的更高。“这些精英学校十分支持自己的学生，会给予他们比全国平均分更高的成绩，”罗杰斯塔泽说，“他们希望自己学校的学生拥有竞争优势。”
佩里克利斯·刘易斯（Pericles Lewis）是耶鲁本科学院院长，他表示学生可能太过于关心自己的绩点了。“我认为再过十年，大多数人并不关心你在耶鲁取得过怎样的成绩，”他说道，“人们更关心的，是你曾在耶鲁学习过。”
然而，学生们以及各类研究生项目，确实关心本科成绩。其他人则担忧耶鲁的“成绩通胀”现象变得人尽皆知，这让他们担心自己的学位含金量可能会遭到贬值，或者让持怀疑态度的雇主难以看清他们的辛苦付出。
