Some say every day miracles are predestined (注定的)---- All that’s necessary is readiness, the right circumstance for the appointed meeting. And it can happen anywhere.
In 1999, 11-year-old Kevin Stephan was a bat boy for his younger brother"s Little League team in Lancaster, New York. It was an early evening in late July. Kevin was standing on the grass away from the plate, where another youngster was warming up for the next game. Swinging his bat back and forth, and giving it all the power an elementary school kid could give, the boy brought the bat back hard and hit Kevin in the chest. His heart stopped.
When Kevin fell to the ground, the mother of one of the players rushed out of the stands to his aid. Penny Brown hadn"t planned to be there that day, but at the last minute,she had changed her shift (轮班) at the hospital, and she was given the night off. Penny bent over the senseless boy, his face already starting to turn blue, and giving CPR, breathing into his mouth and giving chest compressions (按压). And he came to life.
After his recovery, he became a volunteer junior firefighter, learning some of the emergency first-aid techniques that had saved his life. He studied hard in school and was saving money for college by working as a dishwasher in a local restaurant in his spare time.
Kevin, now 17, was working in the kitchen when he heard people screaming, customers in confusion, employees rushing toward a table. He hurried into the main room and saw a woman there, her face turning blue, her hands at her throat. She was choking .
Quickly Kevin stepped behind her, wrapped his arms around her and clasped his hands. Then, using skills he"d first learned in Scouts, the food that was trapped in the woman"s throat was freed. The color began to return to her face.
“The food was stuck. I couldn"t breathe,” she said. She thought she was dying. “I was very frightened.”
Who was the woman?
Penny Brown.

小题2:Which of the following statements is True of Kevin Stephan?| A．He was hit on the face by a boy and almost lost his life. | | B．He was a volunteer junior firefighter, teaching the players first-aid skills. | | C．He worked part-time in a local restaurant to save money for college. | | D．He saved Penny Brown though he didn’t really know how to deal with food choke |
小题3:Why did Penny Brown change her shift and was given the night off that night?| A．She was there to give her son directions. | | B．She volunteered to give medical services. | | C．She was a little worried about her son’s safety. | | D．She came to watch her son’s game and cheered him . |

“Experience may possibly be the best teacher, but it is not a particularly good teacher.” You might think that Winston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke those words, but they actually come from James March, a professor at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making. 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 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 the book, for example, he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. In our efforts to make stories interesting, he argues, we lose part of the complicated truth of things. He says “The more accurately 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 through in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses. Though the book is short, it is demanding: Don’t pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons. Rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.
小题1:According to the text, James March is ________.| A．a poet who uses experience in his writing | | B．a teacher who teachers story writing in university | | C．a researcher who studies the way humans think and act | | D．a professor who helps organizations make important decisions |
小题2:According to James March, experience ________. | A．is overvalued | B．is easy to explain | | C．should be actively sought | D．should be highly respected |
小题3:What can we learn from Paragraph 3?| A．Experience makes stories more accurate. | | B．Stories made interesting fail to fully present the truth. | | C．The use of stories is the best way of experiential learning. | | D．Stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described. |
小题4:What’s the purpose of this text?| A．To introduce a book. | B．To describe a researcher. | | C．To explain experiential learning. | D．To discuss organizational decision making. |
