A hospital is needed by every living person at the time of birth, death, physical injuries, or sickness. It is always a   16   place where family members can gather around the person who needs the   17   of well trained medical doctors and nurses.

As Nicole Hagen and Ricky Beebe were born into the Hagen family in 1998, the parents were both in the delivery (分娩) room. This is a   18   as the tradition has been for the father to be in the next room.   19   hospitals have a birthing room where there is an extra sofa and a chair for the father to either sit or even to sleep on next to his wife. Many   20   are taken of the new baby within a few minutes of his or her   21  . Even a video can be made with the proud father taking pictures of the doctor, nurses, mother, and baby. A nurse may take a   22   picture of the father, mother, and baby. Young children will not see the baby   23   the doctor and nurses allow them into the room many hours later.

At the death of Grandma Hagen, the adult children   24   at her bedside. As she was dying, her children talked to her, read the Bible, and even sang some of her  25   songs. The nurses would check on her very often and the doctor came as his time   26  . She was given pain pills   27   her last few hours would be as  28   as possible. When she died the family cried together in sorrow for the loss of their mother. Grandpa Hagen had died fourteen years   29  . Grandma Hagen was 82 when she died.

Doctors operate on broken bones   30   by accidents in factories or car accidents. Children sometimes fall down stairs where an arm is   31  . Athletes get hurt in   32   of football, basketball, baseball, track, and soccer. Most injuries are repaired very successfully   33   the great skill of the doctor.

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(餐饮) 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.

1.Why does the author feel disappointed at his students?

A.Because there is one group presenting a catering service.

B.Because the six groups made projects for restaurant chains.
