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（咖啡师）who is being trained to make coffee .

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
