It isn’t exactly a news flash these days 25 Americans score behind the curve on international tests. But educators say this study is 26 because it monitored variables both inside and outside the classroom. Laziness- the factor often 27 for Americans’ poor performance--is not the culprit here. American students 28 spend more time in class than pupils in Japan and Germany. 29 , they get more homework and watch the same amount of TV.

Passage TwoCultural knowledge consists of the rules, categories, assumptions, definitions, and judgments that people use to classify and interpret the world around them. 71 To the members of that society, these cultural rules don’t seem arbitrary at all, but logical, normal, right, and proper. 72 Each cultural system is different in this respect, with a logic and a consistency of its own. People in any given culture derive a large part of their personality and sense of group identity from these patterns, which have developed over a long period of time. And this cultural pattern is learned, not innate. At birth, we are not Mexican, or Egyptian, or Japanese. 73 We develop a particular cultural style, an inability, in Georges Braque’s phrase, to do otherwise. The cultural style that we absorb is therefore a kind of framework within which we develop a highly personal style. Although we remain individuals, we operate within a context which also marks us as Japanese, Mexican, or Egyptian. As Japanese, Mexicans, or Egyptians, culture equips us with not only a special way of looking at life and the world, but with a problem-solving mechanism for finding our way through that world. It does so by providing us with categories for organizing our perception, and with a set of values for arranging these categories into basic groups: good and bad, better and worse, true and false, ugly and beautiful, and so on. 74 You can easily see how useful culture is. The patterns developed within a social group over generations of interaction enable its members to generate meaning and structure very quickly from the plethora of daily events and occurrences. 75 75().

E. A foreign culture is therefore very much like a secret code.
F. Through the lens of our culture, we selectively perceive; we organize what we select; and we make judgments about these things.

总经理、总裁、首席执行官这样的头衔在现代商业中屡见不鲜。这些企业老总的头衔意味着什么有人说意味着位高权重,腰缠万贯,交游广阔,傲慢自大甚至颐指气使。我虽然当总裁的时间不长,感受还不深刻,但比隔岸观火要好很多。在我看来,成功的企业老总主要具备以下几种品质: 首先,要有思想,有对如何发展企业的战略思想和理念。这事听起来简单,做起来还是很有难度的。思想虽然看不见、摸不着,但是却能让人感觉得到,这种思想代表着企业价值认同,能够引领企业发展方向。 其次,领导力是断不可缺的。老总在关键时刻做事少不了要果断决绝甚至冷酷无情,这就难免使员工陷入恐慌或愤怒。但是,好的老总在行使自己的权力时会充分考虑到人性,并因此会受到下属的爱戴。 另外,要有坚强意志,要有一往无前的精神,特别是在企业遇到困难的时候。因为很多新兴产业前人没做过,碰上前人不曾遇到的挑战在所难免。我们目睹了国内家电产业从繁荣到生存大战的残酷,领略了互联网产业从新兴到泡沫破裂大浪淘沙似的血雨腥风。而现今的云计算和物联网等新兴产业又将去向何方鹿死谁手呢“剩者”为王,生存下来的企业一定是经得起磨砺,具有百折不挠的精神。 综上所述,老总是企业的领袖,是灵魂。我将为之努力,做一个有思想,有坚定意志并能果断决策的企业领导人。
