27、）中，選出最佳選項。AA father with Parkinsons disease was arrested as he watched the Olympic cycling road race because he failed to smile or look as if he was enjoying himself. Mark Worsfold, a martial arts trainer and former soldier, claims that he was thrown to the floor and handcuffed just as cyclists pass

28、ed by. His worried wife Nicola only found out he was being held after she reported him missing when he did not turn up for their daughters ninth birthday party. The 54-year-old man had his fingerprints, DNA and mugshot taken before being questioned about why he did not appear to be enjoying the even

29、t on July 28. Police said Mr. Worsfold, who was held for over five hours, was arrested because of his manner, his state of dress and his being too near to the course. A spokesman added that the arrest was necessary to avoid a breach (破壞) of the peace because he was standing near a group of protester

30、s (抗議者). But Mr. Worsfold, who was diagnosed with Parkinsons disease in 2010, said that one of the symptoms of the disease is muscle rigidity, which can cause his face to become expressionless. “I was sitting minding my own business”, he told a local newspaper. “Before I knew anything the police gra

31、bbed me off this seven-foot wall, threw me to the floor and handcuffed me, so all I saw of the cycle race was between the feet of people from the pavement. It could have been done better. I was arrested for not smiling. I have Parkinsons disease. ” Mr. Worsfold has since asked for a letter of not be

35、s crop of high-school graduates arrive at Oxford University in the fall, they will be joined by a new face: Andrew Hamilton, the 55-year-old provost (教務長) of Yale, who will become Oxfords vice-chancellor a position equal to university president in America.Hamilton isnt the only educator crossing the

36、 Atlantic. Schools in France, Egypt, Singapore, etc. have also recently made top-level hires from abroad. Yet the talent flow isnt universal. High-level personnel (人員) tend to head in only one direction: Outward from America.The chief reason is that American schools dont tend to seriously consider l

37、ooking abroad. For example, when the board of the University of Colorado searched for a new president, it wanted a leader familiar with the state government, a major source of the universitys budget. “We didnt do any global consideration,” says Patricia Hayes, the boards chair. The board finally pic

38、ked Bruce Benson, a 69-year-old Colorado businessman and political activist who is likely to do well in the main task of modern university presidents: fund-raising. Fund-raising is a particularly American thing, since U.S. schools rely heavily on donations. The fund-raising ability is largely a prod

39、uct of experience and necessity.Many European universities, meanwhile, are still mostly dependent on government funding. But government support has failed to keep pace with rising student numbers. The decline in government support has made fund-raising an increasingly necessary ability among adminis

40、trators (管理人員), and has made hiring committees hungry for Americans.In the past few years, well-known schools around the world have joined the trend. In 2011, when Cambridge University appointed Alison Richard, another former Yale provost, as its vice-chancellor, the university publicly stressed tha

41、t in her previous job she had overseen (監督) “ a major strengthening of Yales financial position” .Of course, fund-raising isnt the only skill outsiders offer. The globalization of education means more universities will be seeking heads with international experience of some kind to promote internatio

56、sh (繁榮) more in the long run, according to a new study by Vinit Desai, assistant professor of management at the University of Colorado Denver Business School. Researchers have found that people missing their goals perform much better in the long run. That is because they gain more knowledge from the

57、ir failures than their successes and the lessons are more likely to stay longer in their minds. “We found that the knowledge gained from success was often fleeting while knowledge from failure stuck around for years,” said professor Desai, who led the study. “But companies often ignore failure. Mana

58、gers may fire people or turn over the whole workforce while they should treat the failure as a learning opportunity.” Prof Desai compared the flights of the space shuttle Atlantis and the Challenger. During the Atlantis flight last year, a piece of insulation (絕緣體) broke off and damaged the left sol

59、id rocket booster (助推火箭) but didnt influence the program. There was little investigation. The Challenger was launched next and another piece of insulation broke off. This time the shuttle and its sevenperson crew were destroyed. The disaster led to a major investigation resulting in 29 changes to pr

60、event future disasters. The difference in response in the two cases came down to this: Atlantis was considered a success and the Challenger a failure. “Despite crowded skies, airlines are extremely reliable,” he said. “The number of failures is extremely small. And past researches have shown that ol
