17．Six Sigma is a process that helps companies focus on developing and delivering near-perfect products and services．The word"sigma"is a statistical term that measures how far a given process falls short of perfection．The central idea behind Six Sigma is that if a company can measure how many"defects"they have in a commercial production process，they can systematically figure out how to get rid of the problems and get as close to"zero defects"as possible．
Training and teamwork are fundamental elements of the Six Sigma methodology．In other words，companies need to have their team leaders and team members trained to carry out the Six Sigma processes．They must learn to use the measurement and improvement tools．They also need to learn communication skills necessary for them to involve customers and suppliers and to serve their needs．
Six Sigma was developed in 1986by Motorola，an American telecommunications company．Engineers in Motorola used it as an informal name for a plan to reduce faults in production processes．A few years later，Motorola extended the name"Six Sigma"to mean a general performance improvement method，beyond purely"defect reduction"in the production process．In 1995，Jack Welch，CEO of General Electrics（GE），decided to adopt Six Sigma in GE；and by 1998GE claimed that Six Sigma had brought about over three-quarters of a billion dollars of cost savings．
By 2000，Six Sigma was effectively established as an industry in its own right，involving the training，consultancy and practicing of Six Sigma methodology in all sorts of organizations around the world．Organizations as diverse as local governments，prisons，hospitals，the armed forces banks，and multi-national corporations have been adopting Six Sigma for quality and process improvement．

4．To say that the child learns by imitation and that the way to teach is to set a good example oversimplifies．No child imitates every action he sees．Sometimes，the example the parent wants him to follow is ignored while he takes over contrary patterns from some other example．Therefore we must turn to a more subtle theory than"Monkey see，monkey do．"
Look at it from the child's point of view．Here he is in a new situation，lacking a ready response．He is seeking a response which will gain certain ends．If he lacks a ready response for the situation，and cannot reason out what to do，he observes a model who seems able to get the right result．The child looks for an authority or expert who can show what to do．?
There is a second element at work in this situation．The child may be able to attain his immediate goal only to find that his method brings criticism from people who observe him．When shouting across the house achieves his immediate end of delivering a message，he is told emphatically that such a racket（叫嚷） is unpleasant，that he should walk into the next room and say his say quietly．Thus，the desire to solve any objective situation is overlaid with the desire to solve it properly．One of the early things the child learns is that he gets more affection and approval when his parents like his response．Then other adults reward some actions and criticize others．If one is to maintain the support of others and his own self-respect，he must adopt responses his social group approves．
In finding trial responses，the learner does not choose models at random．He imitates the person who seems a good person to be like，rather than a person whose social status he wishes to avoid．If the pupil wants to be a good violinist，he will observe and try to copy the techniques of capable players； while some other person may most influence his approach to books．?
Admiration of one quality often leads us to admire a person as a whole，and he becomes an identifying figure．We use some people as models over a wide range of situations，imitating much that they do．We learn that they are dependable and rewarding models because imitating them leads to success．

66．By the last sentence of the first paragraph，the authorC．

Do not fall into the trap of dogma（教条）．There is no single simple answer to any question．Remember during your high school debate class，I always asked you to take on the side that you don't believe in？I did that for a reason-things rarely"black and white"，and there are always many ways to look at a problem．You will become a better problem solver if you recognized that．This is called"critical thinking"，and it is the most important thinking skill you need for your life．This also means you need to become tolerant and supportive of others．I will always remember when I went to my Ph．D．advisor and proposed a new thesis topic，he said"I don't agree with you，but I'll support you．"
