题目内容
During my visit to China, I stayed in several hotels. I would like to say something about fire regulations(条例) in these hotels.
When I was in Beijing in a hotel, I checked the nearest fire escape to my room, as I usually do, I found that the exit(出口) out of the buildings was on the ground floor, chained and locked! If there was a fire, people wouldn’t be able to escape. In some other places, I did not find any notice about the procedures.
In most hotels in my country, there is a notice on the back of the door of every guestroom. In Japan the porter(门卫)actually points out the escape route when bringing your bag to your room. I hope Chinese hotels will improve their safety procedures.
The foreigner suggests that ____________.
A. all the exits should not be always chained and locked
B. all the exits should be always chained and locked
C. fire regulations(规程,规章)should be paid enough attention to in some hotels in China
D. the fire regulations should not be strict
Nobody would get away if there were a fire in the building ____________.
A. if the porter doesn’t tell people the escape route
B. with the exit chained and locked
C. before people found the notice about safety procedures
D. when too many people try to escape at the same time
The nearest escape to the writer’s room in a hotel in Beijing was _____________.

解析:
略
I once had my Chinese MBA students brainstorming on “two-hour business plans”. I separated them into six groups and gave them an example: a restaurant chain. The more original their idea, the better, I said. Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. The sixth proposed a catering(饮食)service. Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment.
My students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from state owned enterprises and global companies. They were not without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness. The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years’ teaching at the school. Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review. Case study debates were written up and just memorized. Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.
In China, every product you can imagine has been made and sold. But so few well developed marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand.
With this problem in mind, partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established. And then there’s the “thousand talent scheme”: this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreign trained scientists to the mainland with big money. But there are worries about China’s research environment. It’s hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness, and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.
At last, for China, becoming a major world creator is not just about setting up partnerships with top Western universities. Nor is it about gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively. It’s about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds. It’s not that simple.
