Unit 5Part A Text(Teach Your Child to Wonder)Part B Grammar(分词)Part C Supplementary Reading(Benchmarking Practices at Xerox)I.Background InformationB.F.Skinners quote:Education is what survives when what has been learned has been forgotten.B.F.Skinner:斯金纳斯金纳(1904-1990)美国行为主义心理学家，新行为主义的代表人物，操作性条件反射理论的奠基者。他创制了研究动物学习活动的仪器 斯金纳箱。1950年当选为国家科学院院士，1958年获美国心理学会颁发的杰出科学贡献奖，1968年获美国总统颁发的最高科学荣誉国家科学奖。斯金纳的生平及著作斯金纳的生平及著作 BF斯金纳(Burrhus Frederic Skinner，19041990)1904年3月20日出生在美国宾夕法尼亚州的萨斯奎汉纳镇上。像许多心理学先驱者一样，斯金纳在1922年进汉密尔顿学院读书时，并未打算成为一名心理学家，而是专修英文，打算成为一名作家。在毕业后的两年内，从事于写作，结果感到没有什么可写的，于是攻读生物学。在这个过程中，他读了华生和巴甫洛夫的著作，从而开始对人类和动物的行为感兴趣，就进了哈佛大学攻读心理学。1930年获心理学硕士学位，1931年获哲学博士学位。接着留校从事研究工作。1936年至1944年在明尼苏达大学任讲师和副教授，1945年任印第安纳大学心理系教授和系主任，1948年返回哈佛大学任心理学教授，直到1974年退休。在这期间，他于1958年获美国心理学会授予的杰出科学奖；1968年获美国政府颁发的最高科学奖国家科学奖；1971年获美国心理学会基金会颁发的金质奖章。斯金纳的实验和学说最早是在1938年出版的有机体的行为：一种实验分析(The Behavior of Organisms：An Experimental Analysis)一书中发表的，该书主要是通过对白鼠和鸽子的观察，经验性地描述学习的法则，从而为操作性条件作用原理奠定了基础。他的另一本代表著作科学与人类行为(Science and Human Behavior)（1953）着重探讨了人类行为的一些重要方面，如思维、自我和社会化等。1968年出版的教学技术学(The Technology of Teaching)则探讨了他的基本原理在人类学习中的运用。另外，他在1948年出版的小说沃登第二(Walden Two)和1971年出版的超越自由与尊严(Beyond Freedom and Dignity)在社会上反响很大。前者是根据人类行为的科学原理，试图形成一种以积极控制的方法加以管理的理想社会；后者则是对他自己观点的总结，并驳斥了他人的种种批评。除此之外，他的主要代表著作还有：言语行为(Verbal Behavior)（1957）、强化的相倚关系：一种理论分析(Contingencies of Reinforcement：A Theoretical Analysis)（1969）和关于行为主义(About Behaviorism)(1974)。II.Language Points 1.Sadly,far too few schools make seience appealing.appeal:(i)n.A.an earnest or urgent request,entreaty,or supplication.呼吁，恳求：e.g.He

Grammar分词分词(Participles)分词就是具有动词及形容词二者特征的词;尤指以-ing或-ed,-d,-t,-en或-n结尾的英语动词性形容词,具有形容词功能,同时又表现各种动词性特点,如时态,语态、带状语性修饰语的性能及带宾词的性能。分词分为现在分词现在分词和过去分词过去分词两种,是一种非谓语动词形式。现在分词和过去分词主要差别在于：现在分词表示主动和进行，过去分词表示被动和完成(不及物动词的过去分词不表示被动，只表示完成)。分词可以有自己的状语、宾语或逻辑主语等。一一.分词的用法分词的用法1、分词作状语分词作状语 分词在句子中作状语，可以表示时间、条件、原因、结果、让步、伴随等。分词（短语）作状语时，其逻辑主语应与句中主语相一致。.当现在分词表示的动作发生在谓语动词之前时,则用现在分词的完成式,且所表示动作与谓语动作同时发生,则用现在分词的一般式。完成或被动关系用过去分词。（1）现在分词The students went out of the classroom,laughing and talking.（2）过去分词Accompanied by his friend,he went to the railway station.Given better attention,the plants could grow better.2、while(when,once,until,if,though等连词等连词)+分词分词结构结构 现在分词或过去分词作状语时，有时可以在分词前加while，when,once,although,until,if等连词。When leaving the airport,she waved again and again to us.While waiting for the train,I had a long talk with my sister about her work Once

understand.3、分词作定语、分词作定语 分词作定语时，单个的分词通常放在被修饰的名词之前，分词短语一般置于所修饰的中心词后面。现在分词修饰的是发出该动作的名词(即与名词有主谓关系)，过去分词修饰承受该动作的名词(即与名词是动宾关系)。We will go on with our experiment as soon as we get the added fund.4、分词作宾语补足语、分词作宾语补足语 现在分词在see,watch,hear,observe,notice,feel,find,glimpse,glance等感官动词和look at,listen to等短语动词以及have,keep,get,catch,leave,set,start,send等使役动词后面与名词或代词构成复合宾语，作宾语补语的成分。5、分词作表语分词、分词作表语分词 作表语通常看作形容词来用。现在分词表示主语的性质，而且主语多为物；过去分词表示主语的感受或状态，主语多为人。二二.现在分词的用法：现在分词的用法：1)做表语：做表语：He was very amusing.That book was rather boring.很多动词的现在分词都可以作表语：exciting,interesting,encouraging,disappointing,confusing,touching,puzzling.2)作定语：作定语：上面所出现的现在分词都可以用作定语,修饰一个名词：That must have been a terrifying experience.I found him a charming

mountain.现在分词短语还可以表示原因,相当于一个原因状语从句：Not knowing her address,we couldnt get in touch with her.现在分词短语还可以表示时间,相当于一个时间状语从句：Hearing the news,they all jumped with joy.Returning home,he began to do his homework.4)作宾补：作宾补：现在分词在一些动词之后可以做宾语的补语：例如,see,hear,catch,find,keep,have 等.I see him passing my house every day.I caught him stealing things in that shop.三三.过去分词的用法：过去分词的用法：1)作表语：作表语：We were so bored

Benchmarking 标杆管理标杆管理What is BenchmarkingBenchmarking is the process of determining who is the very best,who sets the standard,and what that standard is.In baseball,you could argue that seven consecutive World Series Championships made the New York Yankees the benchmark.If we were to benchmark world conquest,what objective measure would we use to compare Julius Caesar to Adolph Hitler;Gengis Khan to Napoleon?Which of them was the epitome,and why?We do the same thing in business.Who is the best sales organization?The most responsive customer service department?The leanest manufacturing operation?And how do we quantify that standard?Related IssuesOnce we decide what to benchmark,and how to measure it,the object is to or Quality Improvement initiative.What can I Benchmark figure out how the winner got to be the best and determine what we have to do to get there.Benchmarking is usually part of a larger effort,usually a Process Re-engineeringMost of the early work in the area of benchmarking was done in manufacturing,like the example above.Now benchmarking is a management tool that is being applied almost anywhere.The Fortune Magazine article Beat the Budget and Astound your CFO outlines how Rank Xerox even applied benchmarking to their sales effort.(Note:This article is now in their archives and there is a small fee if you are not a subscriber.)标竿/杆管理（Benchmarking），这是一种管理上的有效工具，以衡量组织相对于其他组织的绩效。基本上，标竿/杆管理认为大多数的企业流程都有相通之处，因此，可以藉著寻找与确定在某些活动、功能、流程等绩效上，有最佳表現（Best Practice）或足为楷模（Exemplary Practices），或出类拔萃(Business Excellence）的顶尖公司，仔细地研究其所以能有如此绩效的原因，并将自己公司的绩效表现，与这些公司的表现相比较，并进而拟定要提升到哪些公司绩效水准的计划，执行该计划并检测其执行结果，以使组织能夠更客观地评估其绩效，更能浮现缺失，更能了解其他组织的表现，改进缺点，迎头赶上。标竿/杆管理通常包括标准标竿管理Standards Benchmarking）、流程标竿/杆管理（Process Benchmarking）、结果标竿管理(Results Benchmarking)，值得注意的是，标竿/杆管理往往会以同行、同业、竞争者作为比较的对象，但忽略了真正該见贤思齐的对象，以致于不能发挥标竿管理的真正效果。practice（通常、一般的）做法It is normal practice not to reveal details of a patients
