The author's attitude towards the future of the fight against the food allergies isA. subjectiveB. optimisticC. skepticalD. criticalDUpon reflection of the ideal social moral code, within one sentence, it would be: be constructive, not destructive. Though “be constructive, not destructive," sounds sensible, there are many nuances. Sometimes it is difficult to determine if an act is exactly constructive or destructive.We can decide if something is constructive or destructive based on degree, for instance. Say your preschool son is acting up and broke a glass vase, even after you told him to stop grabbing and playing with it several times. You get a thought in your mind to spank him to give a punishment for his naughty action. However, you start to feel confused about whether this would be constructive or destructive. It might show him that not listening to you and breaking things is not welcome, but on the other hand.北京四中202J2022学年度第二学期高二年级期中试卷spanking him is an act of aggression that will hurt him physically and perhaps teach北京四中202J2022学年度第二学期高二年级期中试卷him to use force in situations later in life. There is no exact wrong or right in these moments. However, through your own reasoning, you can decide to what degree it would be beneficial or harmful to him and the situation at hand. Personally, I would not spank my son, as I think it docs more destruction than construction. But, that is just me.Another nuance to consider is the definition we give to construction and destruction. For example, for some people, construction can never involve violence, while for others, it could even be an essential part. Take the example of going back in time and killing Hitler. Killing someone is definitely termed a destructive act. However, in light of the circumstances, I would assume that the majority of people would agree that killing Hitler at the height of his power if they had the chance would be seen as a constructive, thus positive act. Therefore, our definitions often determine our values and how we behave upon those principles.Additionally, construction and destruction can be filtered through a sociopolitical lens. Construction can be seen as good to some, and bad to others. Take for instance creating new homes in a forested area. Yes, homes for humans are made, but also the habitat for countless animals is being destroyed, or at least altered to an extreme. Construction, if it is true, it should be beneficial to all parties included. That is a tall order, though. Every step we take kills bacteria and other microorganisms and perhaps plants, insects, and who knows what else. Destruction can be seen as a part of each moment. Plus, what a majority might regard as a constructive might be seen as destructive to a minority. Is there a way to determine which side is correct? It is almost impossible. Being in the majority in terms of a moral outlook docs not mean it is correct, or more appropriate. There have been many instances in history when acts were regarded as constructive, but were later seen as destructive with a modern lens.Though I consider tkBe constructive, not destructive the most solid one-sentence social moral code, it is not without its nuances and problems. For instance, the degree to which we consider something constructive or destructive, definitions of being constructive and destructive, and construction and destruction seen through a sociopolitical lens are all nuances. These differences consist of the confusion that this ideal social moral code causes. However, I cannot imagine a better code than the one stated in this essay in terms of living one's life in a social context.42. From the author's view whether to punish a kid's wrong doing or not depends on what extent.A. it would bring him benefits or harmsB. his act is constructive or destructiveC. he would modify his destructive behavior北京四中202J2022学年度第二学期高二年级期中试卷 D. his destructive result might bring about北京四中202J2022学年度第二学期高二年级期中试卷The author mentions the example of killing Hitler to show that.A. killing someone is definitely termed a destructive actB. killing Hitler is seen as a constructive and positive actC. the majority of people would probably agree to kill HitlerD. definitions of social code decide our values and principlesAccording to paragraph 4, which statement is true?A. Construction and destruction can advance social development.B. Construction should only be beneficial to human beings involved.C.

Sir Andrew Likierman of the London Business School suggests that judgment is “the combination of personal qualities with relevant knowledge and experience to form opinions and take decisions”. And he argues that, thus defined, judgment involves a process - taking in information, deciding whom and what to trust, summarizing one's personal knowledge, checking any prior beliefs or feelings, summarizing the available choices and then making the decision.Expert knowledge can be useful in making judgments. But it is not the same thing. “Academics have expert knowledge,Sir Andrew observes. *They don't necessarily have judgment.People with judgment know when they are out of their depth in making 北京四中202J2022学年度第二学期高二年级期中试卷a decision and typically then seek the advice of someone who has the right background北京四中202J2022学年度第二学期高二年级期中试卷and knowledge. <4While good judgment is important to success,Sir Andrew cautions, “success is not a signal that there has been good judgment.”The degree of judgment required tends to increase as people take on more responsibility. Those with routine tasks generally have limited scope for judgment. Line supervisors have some discretion (自行决定权).For a chief executive, the proportion of decisions involving judgment is high. Deciding not to take action is also a judgment with potentially serious consequences (fbr example, "I won't get vaccinated or "I won't pay my bills"). The world is full of people whose lack of judgment brought their careers or personal life crashing down. Many made the common mistake of assuming everything was fine.75. What's Sir Andrew's definition of judgement?76. Why does Andrew say that expert knowledge is not the same as making judgements? 77. Please decide which part of the following statement is false, then underline it and explain why.> Good judgement is important to success and a successful person definitely has good judgement.78. Please list other factors besides “judgement” that can lead to success and explain why.
