15、 the concept of petence（能力）. The idea that lies behind petence is quite simple: that one can state what people should do in behavioral terms, and then _41_ whether a person has succeeded in meeting that task or not. We rarely have a second thought about whether the idea of measuring and achieving pe

16、tence is a good one or not. _42_ , it is a debatable one.Humans do not learn or work in ways that can be measured by the _43_ of petence.Take the example of a barista who is being trained to make coffee. The job title of “barista _44_ a degree of skill in making coffee. However, baristas in large co

It might have to achieve a certain taste and appearance. This might seem perfectly reasonable, but there are two reasons why such an approach to trai

18、ning baristas does not_47_. First, the production of a cup of coffee to a certain standard is a binary（二次元的） _48_ . The baristas can either produce a coffee of a certain standard or they cannot. If they happen to produce the best cup of coffee in the world, it does not matter, as petence-based train

19、ing does not reward outstanding performance. _49_, producing the worst cup of coffee would be a fail in the same w ay as producing a cup just below the standard. In fact, petence is not interested in the process of producing a coffee at all-only the final binary oute.Second, if the barista does prod

20、uce a coffee to a certain_50_ , petence is not interested in why the barista can do that. But humans are not machines that _51_ produce binary outes. We have bodies and minds which _52_ through learning.Yet we are increasingly forced to _53_ petence in our schools and workplace. We are not empty mac

21、hines that simply produce binary outes. If w e w ant to be true human in our learning and our workplace, we need to be _54_ and special. Learning and innovation involve failure in aiming for something that is unusually good. Such things simply cannot be _55_ by the standard of petence w here the med

In 1757, he fled to England and began earning a

26、 living as an organist and later poser and conductor. In 1772, he convinced his sister Caroline to join him as a singer. In their spare time the brother-sister team became occupied in astronomy.

Adopting a historically proven strategy, Herschel named the new planet Georgium Sidum, in honor of the then ruling English king George III. The trick worked once again, asking George

29、 III gave William and Caroline the titles of The King5s Astronomer and Assistant to the kings Astronomer, an honor which came with a lifes pension for both. In 1782 they moved to Bath, and shortly thereafter to Slough, and from this point on William and Caroline could devote themselves entirely to a

30、stronomy. The Herschel went on to discover two moons of Uranus in 1787.While Caroline became increasingly occupied with the search for ets at which she was quite successful. William became for a time interested in the Sun. Inspired by Wilson5s 1774 work, he put forth the theory of sunspot, an opinio

31、n that continued to exist well into the nineteenth century. In 1800, he became interested in the solar spectrum （太阳光谱），and uncovered the first evidence for solar energy output outside of the visible spectrum, in what is now known as the infrared （红外线）.In 1801, he published two papers that effectively started the field of solar influences on Earths weather.56
