What has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family.Twenty-five years ago,the typical American family consisted of a husband,a wife,and two or three children.Now,there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children.And there are many marriages where at least some of the children are from the wifes previous marriage,or the husbands,or both,sometimes these children spend all of their time with one parent from the former marriage;sometimes they are shared between two former spouses.Thus,one can find every type of family arrangement.There are marriages without children;marriages with children for only the present marriage;marriages with“full-time”children from both the present and former marriages;marriages with“full-time”children from the present marriage and“part-time”children from former marriages.There are stepfathers,stepmothers,half-brothers,and half-sisters.It is not all that unusual for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents!These are enormous changes from the traditional nuclear family.But even so,even in the midst of all this,there remains one constant:most Americans spend most of their adult lives married.1.By calling Americans marrying people the author means that_.A.Americans are more traditional than EuropeansB.Americans expect more out of marriage than EuropeansC.there are more married couples in the USA than in EuropeD.more of Americans as compared with Europeans,prefer marriage and they accept it at a younger age2.Which of the following can be presented as the picture of todays American families?

For years March ( possibly be 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 experiential 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 interesting part of book，for example，he turns a double eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. He says“The more accurately（精确的）reality is presented，the less understandable the story，and the more understandable the story, the less realistic it is.”Besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher. March is also a poet, and his gift shines though in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses. Though the book is short, it is demanding；Dont pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons. Rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.43.

The difference is important regardless of industry and company size. Companies fearful or losing their competitive advantage spend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed.In our study of 343 businesses, the companies that chose to go, go, go to try to gain an edge ended with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track, Whats more, the firms that “slowed down to speed up “improved their top and bottom lines ,averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-years period.How did they disobey the laws of business physics, taking more time than competitors yet performing better ? They thought differently about what “slower “and “faster” mean. Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operation speed (moving quickly ) and strategic speed (reducing the time it takes to deliver value ). Simply increasing the speed of production, for example , may be one way to try to reduce the speed difference . But that often leads to reduced value over time, in the form of lower-quality products and services.In our study, high performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary . They became more open to idea and discussion. They encouraged new ways of thinking. And they allowed time to look and learn. By contrast (相比而言).
