It’s based on the assumption that old ideas will always work, so they shouldn’t be challenged. While this may be a valid assumption in situations that don’t change, it’s unlikely to hold true in a changing situation. In today’s rapid changing global environment, old methods often don39。 t work, and stubbornly using them can lead to major problems. Most people seem to agree with conventional wisdom because it gives one a false sense of security. If everyone else believes it, then it must be true. Individuals who use conventional wisdom are certain that they are right, and being right is good. They want to continue using old ideas rather than take risks with changes that might not work. In 1977, Ken Olsen, cofounder and CEO of Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC), stated ―There is no reason for any individual to have a puter in his home.‖ Despite being a dominant leader in the puter industry, DEC no longer exists. People seem to fet that since innovation is a change, there can be no innovation without change. Unfortunately, conventional wisdom prevents leaders, followers and panies from changing and therefore innovating. If panies don’t innovate, but their petitors do, the future is likely to be problematic. Breaking from conventional wisdom has led to many of the most innovative panies and products in history across many industries, so it has a powerful effect on business success. Ted Turner (founder of CNN) knew little, if anything, about the news business, but he knew it was inconvenient to watch news only at the dinner hour, as was mon before CNN. Turner’s solution was to create a cable channel dedicated to news 24 hours a day. The news establishment reflected conventional wisdom at the time, and predicted his idea would fail because no one wanted to watch the news all day. However, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that viewers don’t have to watch the news all day for the CNN to work. Viewers just have to watch when they want to get information. Due to conventional thinking, the critics failed to recognize the opportunity that was clear to Ted. They assumed that only what was familiar to them could work in the future. Conventional wisdom prevents creativity, flexibility and risktaking, so unconventional leaders enthusiastically break from it. To survive, thrive and maintain petitive advantage, panies must be flexible when reacting to change. 32. DEC has disappeared probably because ___________. A. the consumers didn’t like its products B. the leaders lacked the sense of security C. the CEO stuck to the conventional ideas D. the employees took many risks with changes 33.

It’s easy to know people needn’t watch the news all the time. D. It’s necessary to understand when people watch the news. 35. The passage is mainly written to tell us that ______. A. old methods are changing with time B. opportunities lead to business success C. successful panies need wise leaders D. conventional wisdom limits innovation 第二节 (共 5小题;每小题 2分,满分 10分 ) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。 选项中有两项为多余选项。 America’s holiday shopping season started on Black Friday, the day after Thanksgiving. 36 Shoppers ma。
