I wa

20、 through a kidney transplant（ 移植）from a dead donor in 1999 , so I was familiar with the enormous need for donors and knew several people who were waiting for a lifesaving transplant . I decided to offer myself to be matched with the most compatible（互不排斥的 ）person on the waiting list at my local trans

26、ind competence is quite simple ： that one can state what people should do in behavioral terms ， and then measure 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 competence is a good one or not In fact， it is

27、 a controversial one Humans do not learn or work in ways that can be measured by the concept of competence Take the example of a barista（咖啡師）who is being trained to make coffee . The job title of “ barista suggests a degree of skill in making coffee However， baristas in large coffee chains are usual

28、ly trained through competence-based qualifications One part of these qualifications is to produce a cup of coffee to meet a minimum standard 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 training barist

29、as does not work First, the production of a cup of coffee to a certain standard is a binary（二次元的）outcome. 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 competence-based training do

30、es not reward outstanding performance Likewise ， producing the worst cup of coffee would be a fail in the same way as producing a cup just below the standard In fact， competence is not interested in the process of producing a coffee at all only the final binary outcome Second， if the barista does pr

31、oduce a coffee to a certain standard， competence is not interested in why the barista can do that But humans are not machines that simply produce binary outcomes We have bodies and minds which change through learning Yet we are increasingly forced to achieve competence in our schools and workplaces

32、We are not empty machines that simply produce binary outcomes . If we want to be true human in our learning and our workplaces , we need to be creative and special. Learning and innovation（創(chuàng)新）involve failure in aiming for something that is unusually good. Such things simply cannot be judged by the s

To introduce new forms of learning and training .B . To explain how people learn and work nowadays .C. To state human beings

36、 advantages over machines.D . To deny the general rule of measuring competence .DThey say the average person makes 35, 000 decisions a day. Yet in her new book, How Woman Decide, Therese Huston explores a widespread phenomenon that many women fail to notice . " There ' s a huge double stand

37、ard when it comes to how men and women are viewed as decision makers , " explains Therese, a psychologist from Seattle University . Therese decided to write the book after looking at her bookshelf: At one end , there were bestselling books about how to be a brilliant decision maker all written

38、by men and featuring interviews with men like athletes . At the other end were books aimed at women on gaining leadership skills and confidence .“Once those women are at the table, will their decisions be taken as seriously as men' s?Therese wondered. " Men are respected as decisnomakers mo

39、re than women , especially in the workplace , largely because there ' s this cultural belief that women are unable to make smart choices at workSo, Therese set out to pick apart the stereotypes（固有ER象）to see what scientific research had found . " Seintific research shows that men and women s

40、truggle with decision-making equally . The only disadvantage I found was that during the teenage years-teenage girls are more indecisive than teenage boys. Otherwise , there ' s little difference between the gende惶611）.”However, there are some differences. " Women are more collaborative協(xié)作的）

41、,“says Therese ” A female boss is more likely to ask the opinions of those around her when making a choice . Women ask for input, which helps make better decisions . However ,this is often seen as a weakness rather than a strength.”Therese also found that during times of stress, men and women make d

42、ifferent choices, and the outcomes are often better when women are involved .Study after study backs this view up. Neuroscientists Mara Mather and Nicole Lighthall from the University of Southern California studied the way men and women make decisions and found that in times of stress, they react ve

43、ry differently .During their study , which involved playing a virtual gambling（ 賭博）game, they found that when the females became stressed, they made smart decisionsquitting while they were ahead or taking safe bets. But when the men became stressed, they did the opposite , risking everything for a s
