. A Harvard graduate hasno reason at all to suppose that he will manage more effectively than a less instructed contemporary. TheHarvard man can only claim that he is more highly educated; and high education and high achievement inpractical affairs don’t necessarily go together. John F Kennedy found that assembling America’s brightestbrains in Washington neither got bills

Congress nor avoided the Bay of Pigs; and many companieshave discovered that business school diplomas are a thin

against incompetence.An overwhelmingly large proportion of the highest and best American executives did study business. Allthis proves that an overwhelmingly large proportion of business-minded undergraduates got the real message,which is that a diploma will be good for their careers, starting with starting salaries. It does not follow that theeducation was of any other direct benefit either to the executive or his firm.

, of course, that theschooling was wasted. As a general rule, the wise man recruits the finest intelligence he can find; and goodminds are far better for good training. The question is only whether academic training in subjects that seem tohave some connection with management

the best education for managing, and that is something thatnobody can prove either way.11 (A)apparatuses (B)premonitions (C)assessments (D)hierarchies12 (A)with (B)over (C)through (D)beyond13 (A)defence (B)pretext (C)intuition (D)reconciliation14 (A)It is not followed (B)Nor does it follow (C)One follows (D)What follows15 (A)is (B)does (C)and (D)or請依下文回答第16 題至第20 題Issues concerning women’s bodily integrity and autonomy, such as abortion, rape, and sterilization, aresubject to strong opinions that give rise to equally charged political policies. As with other issues pertaining towomen’s bodies, prostitution discourse is largely concerned with determining whether this social practice isexploitative, empowering, or a consequence of immorality.Prostitution is here defined as a social practice by which men gain sexual access to the bodies ofpredominantly women, children, and sometimes other men, through the exchange of money, goods, or housing.Prostitution, as a social construct, arises from “men’s dominance and women’s subordination.”Most people take one of three salient positions on prostitution.

This position draws heavily from patriarchal and religioustraditions that equate female sexuality with temptation and male sexuality with dominance and sanctionedinsatiability. The second position, the “sex work” position, asserts that prostitution is a valid form of labor andargues that prostitution is not inherently harmful to women. This position further contends that women have aright to decide what they will do with their bodies and that sex work, though oppressive for some, is potentiallyboth lucrative and empowering for other women. The third position asserts that prostitution is a consequenceof social, political, and economic inequality and argues that women are predominantly conscripted intoprostitution because of their social vulnerability.
