2、ield of organizational decision making. For years MarchCpossibly the wisest philosopher of management) has studied how humans think and act, and he continues to do so in his new book The Ambiguities of Experience. He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of expe

3、riential learning: Experience is respected; experience is sought; experience is explained.” The problem is that learning from experience involves(涉及) serious complications(复杂化),ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which March discusses in the body of this book. In one interestin

4、g part of the book, for example, he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. In our efforts to make stories interesting, he argues, we lose part of the complicated truth of things. He says,The more accurately (精确地) reality is presented,the le

5、ss understandable the story; and the more understandable the story, the less realistic it is.

The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly. Just a few minutes later, I heard my daugh

10、ter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An agreesive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back- the sign(迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The

11、 bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger. I held my camera tripod(三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I wo

12、uld not be able to hold it for long. Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear. The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the bea

13、st held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break. Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actu

14、ally wrestling(扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attackThe first time I felf panic. Apparently satisfied that we caused no further threat, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as

17、s a good thing. However, a group of senior Chinese ladies dancing in New Yorks Sunset Park were recently faced with noise complaints from nearby residents. The local court even served a summons (传票) related to a certain Ms. Wang. The news soon caused heated discussion across China, with many believi

18、ng the incident to involve a cultural conflict between the East and West, while others view it as a form of discrimination against Chinese in the United States. The United States is a diverse society, and in many cases, Chinese dancers are tolerated and even appreciated. Meanwhile, the United States

19、 is a society based on the rule of law, and due to cultural differences, local regulations seem to be very different from those in China. As a result, some old Chinese ladies dancing in New Yorks Sunset Park found themselves caught in an embarrassing situation. Locals and immigrants from other natio

20、ns view such noise as a violation of their right to enjoy tranquility. Calling the police is regarded as the most efficient way to solve such a problem. Before, these ladies probably did not understand local customs and rules. However, since the incident took place, they should perhaps know a little

21、 better next time and keep the noise to a minimum. People from different nations are often supposed to reach compromises, respecting and tolerating each other. Whatever your choice of entertainment, it is important not to affect other peoples lives. Square dancing is only one of many activities duri

22、ng which people should mind their behavior. As for U.S. police practice, there might still be some room for improvement. Some were said to be rather rude, leading to the so-called “racial discrimination,” which is a sensitive topic in U.S. society. If the involved parties could be more tolerant, and

26、For 28-year-old Kristen Alice, it happens to be garbage. The eco-friendly designer uses her incredible talent to transform garbage like empty drink bottles and candy wrappers into charming dresses that sell for thousands of dollars. Kristen says the idea came to her after she saw how much waste she

27、and her three college roommates generated on a daily basis. The Fine Arts student began to dream about transforming the deserted bags and packages into beautiful garments. Her first dress made from plastic bags and rolled magazines was strange, fun and even charming. However, she only made it to tes

28、t her creativity. The young designer did not consider starting a commercial venture(企业) until she spent a week working at Couture Fashion Week in New York City. There she observed the excitement generated by new and vintage(复古的) looks and decided to see if her unusual idea would result in as much en

29、thusiasm. She began by creating a line of 12 garbage-inspired dresses. They were a huge success. Today her company that has offices in Palm Beach, Florida and New York City, produces a wide variety of dresses ranging from cocktail dresses to ball gowns(礼服). Kristen,of course,doesnt search garbage ca

30、ns for her material anymore. Instead, she seeks it from companies that have produced more than they need and are planning to throw away the extras. However, if you think the garbage-inspired dresses come cheap, think again. The price for readymade creations retails(零售) from $ 500 to $ 1,500. Though

31、that may appear expensive, the designer says she has no shortage of customers. In fact, she now even has garbage-inspired clothing for men that includes jackets, ties, trousers and even board shorts! While most of the clothes are strong enough to resist multiple wears, whether they can be cleaned is

32、 a little unclear.1.What made Kristen think of using trash as her favorite material?A.Her poor living conditions at college.B.The education from her parents not to waste anything useful.C.Her roommates advice of using garbage to replace ordinary material.D.Her consciousness of environmental protection and trained eyes.2.Kristen decided to start a commercial venture because_
