During the war，my husband was stationed at an army camp in a desert in California．I went to live there in order to be（1）　him．I hated the place．I had never （2）　　been so unhappy．My husband was ordered out on a long﹣term duty，and I was left in a tiny shack（棚屋） alone．The heat was（3）　　﹣almost $125 °$ F even in the shade of a cactus（仙人掌）．（4）　　a soul to talk to．The wind blew non﹣stop，and all the food I ate，and the evry air I breathed，were（5）　　with sand，sand，sand!

Two men looked out from prison bars，One saw the mud，the other saw the stars．

I read those two lines（10）　　I was ashamed of myself．I made up my mind I would find out what was good in my present （11）　　； I would look for the stars

In the 1960s，Douglas McGregor，one of the key thinkers in the art of management，developed the mow famous Theory X and Theory Y．Theory X is the idea that people instinctively （51）　 work and will do anything to avoid it．Theory Y is the view that everyone has the potential to find satisfaction in work．

In any case，despite so much evidence to the （52）　　，many managers still agree to Theory X．They believe，（53）　　，that their employees need constant supervision if they are to work effectively，or that decisions must be imposed from （54）　　 without consultation．This，of course，makes for authoritarian （专制的） managers．

Different cultures have different ways of （55）　　 people．Unlike authoritarian management，some cultures，particularly in Asia，are well known for the consultative nature of decision﹣making﹣all members of the department or work group are asked to （56）　　 to this process．This is management by the collective opinion．Many western companies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things，which are based on general （57）　　．Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men because they have the power to reach common goals in a way that traditional （58）　　 managers cannot．

A recent trend has been to encourage employees to use their own initiative，to make decisions on their own without（59）　managers first．This empowerment （授权） has been part of the trend towards downsizing：（60）　　 the number of management layers in companies．After de﹣layering in this way，a company may be （61）　　 with just a top level of senior managers，front﹣line managers and employees with direct contact with the public．Empowerment takes the idea of delegation （委托） much further than has （62）　　been the case．Empowerment and delegation mean new forms of management control to （63）　　 that the overall business plan is being followed，and that operations become more profitable under the new organization，rather than less．

Another trend is off﹣site or （64）　　 management，where teams of people linked by e﹣mail and the Internet work on projects from their own houses．Project managers evaluate the （65）　　 of the team members in terms of what they produce for projects，rather than the amount of time they spend on them．

Golden Rules of Good Design

What makes good design？Over the years，designers and artists have been trying to （41）　the essentials of good design．They have found that some sayings can help people understand the ideas of good design．There are four as follows．

Less is more．This saying is associated with the German﹣born architect Mies van der Rohe．In his Modernist view，beauty lies in simplicity and elegance，and the aim of the designer is to create solutions to problems through the most efficient means．Design should avoid unnecessary （42）　　

More is not a bore．The American﹣born architect Robert Venturi concluded that if simplicity is done badly，the result is （43）　　design．Post﹣Modernist designers began to （44）　　with decoration and color again．Product design was heavily influenced by this view and can be seen in kitchen （45）　　such as ovens and kettles．

Fitness for purpose．Successful product design takes into consideration a product's function，purpose，shape，form，color，and so on．The most important result for the user is that the product does what is （46）　　．For example，think of a（n）（47）　　desk lamp．It needs to be constructed from materials that will stand the heat of the lamp and regular adjustments by the user．It also needs to be stable．Most importantly，it needs to （48）　　light where it is needed．

From follows emotion．This phrase is associated with the German designer Hartmut Esslinger．He believes design must take into（49）　　the sensory side of our nature﹣sight，smell，touch and taste．These are as important as rational（理性的） thinking．When choosing everyday products such as toothpaste，we appreciate a cool﹣looking device that allows us to easily（50）　 the toothpaste onto our brush．
