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（本能地） 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 ca, despite so much evidence to the 52 , many managers still agree to Theory X. They believe, 53 , that their employees need constant supervision(监督，管理) if they are to work effectively, or that decisions must be（impo sth on sb把…强加给某人）impod from 54 without consultation（咨询）. This, of cour, 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（集体的，共同的） opinion. Many western compan
ies have tried to imitate such Asian ways of doing things, which are bad on general 57 . Some experts say that women will become more effective managers than men becau 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 u their own initiative（首创精神，主动权）, 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（减少员工层） in this way, a company may be 61 with just a top level of nior 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 ca. 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（不在现场的）or 64 management, where teams of people linked by and the Internet work on projects from their own hous. 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.

Rearchers are studying whether love, a highly valued emotional state, can be 54. They ask, what is love? Toothpaste companies want us to think attraction is all about clea
n teeth, but clean teeth go only so far. Scientists wonder how much the brain gets involved. You have probably heard that opposites attract but that 55 attract, too. One thing is certain: The truth about love is not yet t in stone.(一层不变，板上钉钉)
First Impression
To help determine the 56 of attraction, rearchers paired 164 college classmates and had them talk for 3, 6 or 10 minutes so they could get a n of each other’s individuality. Then students were asked to 57 what kind of relationship they were likely to build with their partners. After nine weeks, they reported what happened.
As it turned out, their 58 judgments often held true. Students emed to 59 at an early stage who would best fit into their lives.
The 60 Knows
Scientists have also turned to nonhumans to increa understanding of attraction. Many animals give off pheromones（信息激素） — natural chemicals that can be detected by,
and then can produce a respon in, other animals of the same species. Pheromones can signal that an animal is either ready to fight or is feeling 61 to partnerships. In contrast, humans do not em to be as 62 as other animals at detecting such chemicals. Smell, however, does em to play a part in human attraction. Although we may not be aware of chemicals like pheromones consciously, we give and receive loads of information through smell in every interaction with other people.
