Fortune ranks the 25 schools that do the best job of training Asias future managers.Those that made our list not only have number on

23、e academics but also offer scholastic, career, and cultural supports that meet the needs of Asian students. This explains why many of our top schools are in California, which has closer links with Asia, through immigration and economics, than any other states. Most of the Fortune 25 have established

24、 reputations in Asia and have developed formal links with Asian institutions. Today 260,000 Asians defined as citizens from China, Japan, Korea, and the nations of the subcontinent and Southeast Asia are getting graduate degrees in the U.S. Of these, 16% are enrolled in business.The rewards for grad

25、uating MBAs are substantial, with American multinationals offering the best positions. MBAs graduating from top American schools can look forward to $ 75,000 stalling salaries, up to $ 20,000 in signing bonuses, plenty of extra money and interesting work.The market for the skills of Asian MBAs is ex

26、panding. Despite Asia s economic turmoil, Western firms continue to come into the region. They are desperate to hire people with managerial talent and knowledge of local culture.For example, McKinsey they occurred in people taking doses thought to be correct.Dosing guidelines generally tend to be to

27、o high because they are based on studies conducted in limited numbers of patients by drug companies when they are seeking approval for new products. For those studies to run efficiently, doses need to be high enough to show as quickly as possible that the drug works. But later, after the drug is app

28、roved, far more people take it, sometimes along with other drugs, and individual differences begin to show up. Yet, that information does not always make it into the PDR and it is not well taught in medical school, Cohen said.Dr. Cohen cautioned that patients should not begin tinkering with doses pf

29、 prescription drugs on their own. He said they needed to work with doctors to adjust the doses safely. With some drugs, doses cannot be changed. And in emergencies, he said, it is always safest to stick with recommended doses.（分数：5.00）(1).In what way did Dr. Cohen help explain why so many Americans

30、die of drug reactions ?（分数：1.00）A.He found out the mistakes of PDR.B.He lowered the drug doses in treating patients.C.He used different doses according to individuals.D.He suggested medical schools teach the importance of lowering doses.(2).What kind of adverse reactions may the doses recommended by

34、lunteer for an unusual project. All kept diaries for a week, recording the numbers and details of the lies they told.One student and six Charlottesville residents professed to have told no falsehoods. The other 140 participants told 1535.66. _Most strikingly, these tellers-of-a-thousand-lies reporte

35、d that their deceptions caused them “little preoccupation or regret.“ Might that too be a lie? Perhaps. But there is evidence that this attitude toward casual use of prevarication is common. Last year, for example, 20,000 middle- and high-schoolers were surveyed by the Josephson Institute of Ethics

36、a nonprofit organization in Marina del Rey, Calif. devoted to character education. Ninety-two percent of the teenagers admitted having lied to their parents in the previous years, and 73 percent characterized themselves as “serial liars,“ meaning they told lies weekly. Despite these admissions, 91 p

37、ercent of all respondents said they were “satisfied with my own ethics and character.“Think how often we hear the expressions “Ill call you“ or “The check is in the mail.“ And then there are professions lawyers, experts, PR consultants whose members seem to specialize in shaping or spinning the trut

38、h to suit clients needs.67. _“Whats wrong with that.?“ Tom asked Professor Josephson, president of the Josephson Institute. Its a question we might all ask.Josephson replied by asking Tom to consider the lie from his mother-in-laws point of view. Suppose that one day Tom s child blurts out the truth

39、, and she discovers the deceit. Will she tell her son-in-law, “Thank you for caring so much?“ Or is she more likely to feel hurt and say, “How could you have misled me all these years? And what else have you lied to me about?“68. _How often do we compliment people on how well they look, or express o

40、ur appreciation for gifts, when we dont really mean it? Surely, these “nice lies“ are harmless and well intended, a necessary social lubricant. But like Tom, we should remember the words of English novelist Sir Walt Scott, who wrote, “What a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive.“E

41、ven seemingly harmless falsehoods can have unforeseen consequences. Philosopher Sissela Bok warns us that they can put us on a slippery slope. “After the first lies, others can come more easily.“69. _Who believes it anymore when theyre told that the person they want to reach by phone is “in a meetin

42、g“? By itself, that kind of lie is of no great consequence. Still, the endless proliferation of these little prevarication does not matter.Once they become common enough, even the small untruths that are not meant to hurt encourage a certain cynicism and loss of trust.Are all white lies to be avoide

43、d at all costs? Not necessarily. The most understandable and forgivable lies are an exchange of what ethicists refer to as the principle of trust for the principle of caring, “like telling children about the tooth fairy, or deceiving someone to set them up for a surprise party,“ Josephson says. “Sti

44、ll, we must ask ourselves if we are willing to give our friends and associates the authority to lie to us whenever they think it is for our own good.“70. _And if you re not sure, Mark Twain has given us a good rule of thumb. “When in doubt, tell the truth. It will confound your enemies and astound y

45、our friends.“A. When Tom tells a lie, his face may not show it, but certain other changes in his body take place that would give him away. His pulse would beat faster, his breath would come in gasps, and his blood pressure would change.B. The lies were most often not what most of us would call earth

46、-shattering. Someone would pretend to be more positive or supportive of a spouse or friend than he or she really was, or feign agreement with a relatives opinion.C. Little white lies have become ubiquitous, and the reasons we give each other for telling fibs are familiar. For example, every year my

47、friend, whom Ill call Tom, goes with his wife and son to his mother-in-law s home for Thanksgiving for dinner. Tom doesnt quite like the pumpkin pie intensely, but he invariably tells her how wonderful the pie is to avoid hurting her feelings.D. Josephson suggests a simple test. If someone you lie to finds out the truth, will he thank you for caring? Or will he feel his long-term
