编号 4564451 单选题 Passage Four<br>Those who work in the Netherlands often feel that a lot of time is wasted in discussions that lead to nothing. There are often meetings with documents, an agenda and a chairman. All those present will have their say, after which their remarks are discussed. He who decides to skip a meeting though he has nothing more urgent to attend to, will find it unwise. The interacting that takes place during a meeting is very important for the general process. He who does not appear is saying that he does not think the subject is suffi- ciently important mportant, or that he apparently does not take his colleagues seriously. Furthermore, he e might miss some of the essential information that may become evident during the meeting.<br>Those who are present show an interest in the problems of their colleagues. They supply ques- tions, rather than commands, and thus declare themselves"co-responsible". The Dutch, in their final conclusions, like to use such metaphors as"We are all in one line" or"Our noses are pointing in the same direction again."<br>If you present a decision, you will find that everyone has something to say about it and has questions to ask. This is why the Dutch will not be quick to present something as the only correct solution. The advantage to this approach is that such a meeting will often lead to genu- ine suggestions for improvement on certain aspects of a plan. As a result, the plan will be a joint approach.<br>This timeconsuming and seemingly useless process helps colleagues become team.The amount of time that is lost around the table is more than what made up for inefficiency, once everyone goes back to work.

编号 4564438 单选题 Passage One<br />Big data can be defined as information that is too big or complex to be contained or pro- cessed by any one machine or person.<br />As a student at the University of Sussex, Julian Dailly had two majors-English and phi- losophy. When he completed his studies, Dailly wondered how he would ever earn a living in a worild filled with machines and technology. Now, he is part of the big data industry that includes Google and Facebook.<br />Dailly's research company, Morar Consulting, started three years ago with five employees. The company's earnings have increased by 25% each year. It now employs 90 people. "What we do here is we try to discover what's meaningful for people and link that to their economic behavior, "Dailly said.<br />He noted the importance of working with people with different skills. "We have people from traditional research backgrounds, in addition to some in social sciences, economics, people from tech backgrounds, and sales people," Dailly said.<br />Companies like Dailly's employ recent college graduates. The industry profits from the ideas or these young men and women. New forms of data also make it possible for some observers to predict the future. They are more valuable to companies than the traditional forms of data recording or reporting.<br />"We have access to the core information inside people's heads, Dailly said. "They tell you what people are going to do as opposed to what they've done. That helps people take proper action in advance. This makes it much more useful for strategy.<br />Julian Dailly dismisses concerns that computers have finally taken control of our daily lives. "Some may worry that humans will be allowed to be replaced by machines. I think it's a fantasy. <br /><br />According to Dailly, the idea that humans may be replaced by machines ____ ? 单选题 ? 2026-07-28 ? 查看答案 ? 查看试卷
