If she were carried down , it would be certain death . I knew , as well as she did

14、 , that there was one spot where she could get up the bank , but it was on the other side from where she had put her calf .

18、al organizations and programs on green building . A green building means more than just the colour of the paint . Green building also means the resource-efficient design , construction , and operation of houses , which highlights environmental quality . In other words , green building design involve

19、s finding the balance between homebuilding and the sustainable environment . This requires close cooperation of the design team , the architects , the engineers , and the client at all project stages .Green building means “ reducing the impact of the building on the land ” , Taryn Holowka of the U.S

20、. Green Building Council in Washington , D.C. , said . According to Holowka , buildings account for 65 percent of total U.S. electricity use .But green buildings can reduce energy and water use . Also , the buildings are often located near public transportation such as buses and subways , so that pe

21、ople can drive their cars less . That could be good for the environment , because cars use lots of gas and give off pollution . Green buildings are often built on developed land , so that the buildings dont destroy forests .Marty Dettling is project manager for a building that put these ideas into a

22、ction . The Solaire has been called the countrys first green high-rise building . According to Dettling , “ Weve reduced energy use by one-third and our water by 50 percent . ”The Solaire cuts energy in part by using solar power . “ On the face of the building we have solar panels which change the s

In addition , the building has lots of windows , allowing people to use the sun for light during the day . The Solaire cuts water by reusing it .Not everyone is e

24、ager to move into a green building , however . Some people think that things like solar panels cost more money than traditional energy sources .

27、, there is a speed difference : Its the diffeence between how important a firms leaders say speed is to their competitive strategy and how fast the company actually moves . The difference is important regardless of industry and company size . Companies fearful of losing their competitive advantage s

28、pend much time and money looking for ways to pick up the speed .In our study of 343 businesses , the companies that chose to go , go , go to try to gain an edge ended up with lower sales and operating incomes than those that paused at key moments to make sure they were on the right track . Whats mor

29、e , the firms that “ slowed down to speed up ” improved their top and bottom lines , averaging 40% higher sales and 52% higher operating incomes over a three-year period .How did they disobey the laws of business physics , taking more time than competitors yet performing better ? They thought differ

30、ently about what “ slower ” and “ faster ” mean . Firms sometimes fail to understand the difference between operational speed ( moving quickly ) and strategic speed ( reducing the time it takes to deliver value ) . Simply increasing the speed of production , for example , may be one way to try to re

31、duce the speed difference . But that often leads to reduced value over time , in the form of lower-quality products and services .In our study , higher-performing companies with strategic speed always made changes when necessary . They became more open to ideas and discussion . They encouraged new w

32、ays of thinking . And they allowed time to look back and learn . By contrast , performance suffered at firms that moved fast all the time , paid too much attention to improve efficiency , stuck to tested methods , didnt develop team spirit among their employees , and had little time thinking about c

33、hanges .Strategic speed serves as a kind of leadership . Teams that regularly take time to get things right , rather than plough ahead full bore , are more successful in meeting their business goals . That kind of strategy must come from the top .28.
