“Experience may possibly be the best teacher，but it is not a particulary good teacher.” You might think that Winston Churchill or perhaps Mark Twain spoke tho words, but they actually come from James March, a professor at Stanford University and a pioneer in the field of organizational decision making. For years March( possibly the wist philosopher of management) has studied how humans think and act，and he continues to do so in his new book The Ambiguities of Experience.
He begins by reminding us of just how firmly we have been sticking to the idea of experiential learning ：“Experience is respected；experience is sought；experience is explained.”The problem is that learning from experience involves(涉及) rious complications 电竞主播>妇炎舒胶囊(复杂化)，ones that are part of the nature of experience itlf and which March discuss in the body of this book.
In one interesting part of the book，for example, he turns a doubtful eye toward the u of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. In our efforts to make stories inter
esting, he argues, we lo part of the complicated truth of things. He says“The more accurately(精确地)reality is prented，the less understandable the story，and the more understandable the story，the less realistic it is.”
怎么进入pe系统Besides being a broadly knowledgeable rearcher, March is also a poet, and his gift shines through in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he us. Though the book is short, it is demanding：Don't pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons. Rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life.

(2011·湖北卷，E)
Which are you more likely to have with you at any given moment—your cellphone or your wallet? Soon you may be able to throw your wallet away and pay for things with a quick wave of your smart phone over an electronic scanner.
In January，Starbucks announced that customers could start using their phones to buy coffee in 6,800 of its stores.This is the first paybyphone practice in the U．S.，but we're likely to e more wireless payment alternatives as something called near field communication(NFC)gets into America's consumer electronics.Last December，some new smart phones which contain an NFC chip were introduced to the public.
Already in u in parts of Asia and Europe，NFC allows shoppers to wave their phones a few inches above a payment terminal—a contactfree system built for speed and convenience.But before NFC becomes widely adopted in the U．S.，a few problems need to be worked out，like who will get to collect the profitable transaction(交易)fees.Although some credit card providers have been experimenting with waveandpay systems that u NFCenabled credit cards，cellphone rvice providers may try to muscl
e their way into the pointofsale (POS)market.Three big cellphone rvice providers have formed a joint venture(合资企业)that will go into operation over the next 15 months.Its goal is“to lead the U．S. payments industry from cards to mobile phone.”
The other big NFC issue，apart from how payments will be procesd，is curity.For instance，what's to stop a thief from digitally pickpocketing you? “We're still not at the point where an attacker can just brush against you in a crowd and steal all the money out of your phone，”says Jimmy Shah，a mobile curity rearcher，“Urs may also be able to t transaction limits，perhaps requiring a password to be entered for larger purchas.”
