The suggestion that bees were not pulling their weight met with skepticism from British beekeepers.Glyn Davies,the President of the British Beekeepers Association,said that bees were not lazy but efficient,“At any particular stage in its energy by doing nothing.Each bee has a unit of life energy and the faster it works,the faster it dies.They are being very wise and perhaps humans should try to follow their example instead of running about like headless chickens.”
The idea of the busy bee is several thousand years old.One current author who has nothing but admiration for the bee is Paul Theroux,the novelist and part-time beekeeper.“I have never seen a bee sleeping.My bees never stop working,”he said.Mr.
Theroux added that Prof.Menzel’s research could have been affected by his national origins.“Perhaps in comparison to the German rate of work,the bee does look lazy,”he said.
Few people think that the busy bee idea will go away,despite the efforts of Prof.Menzel.It seems absurd to apply the word“lazy”to a colony of creatures capable of producing something so extraordinary as honeycomb.The truth is that bees give us an inferiority complex that is not entirely unjustified.In fact,the worship of bees seems to be undergoing a renaissance.IBM recently ran a series of ads drawing on the“waggle dance”of bees,telling businessmen to“make your business waggle.”

With our nation's economic competitiveness weakening and our productivity levels not keeping pace with our international competitors, 'employers and policy makers have called for changes and improvements in how our schools. prepare students. In multiple surveys, employers point to inadequacies in academic skills and work readiness among workers, including the lack of reliability and of willingness to assume responsibility and work cooperatively. They also point to the increasing need for workers to be lifelong learners, a need generated by the increasing speed with which skills become outdated and by the frequent changes in jobs that are typically made by workers during their lifetimes(one in five workers leave their jobs once every five years and younger workers even more often). According to the Committee for Economic Development, "Employers in both large and small businesses criticize the lack of preparation for work among the nation's high school graduates. Too many students lack reading, writing, and appropriate behavior. on the job. Nor have they learned how to learn, how to solve problems, make decisions, or set priorities." This view of 'young workers contributes to their poor prospects in the labor market as 'employers seek to hire older, more experienced workers, even for entry level positions.
Yet students have correctly ascertained(弄清)that there is little, if any, relationship between how well they do in school and how likely they are to get a high-skill, high-pay job, or even a job that pays good students more than their peer who do less well in school. Employers rarely bother to check the academic qualifications of young job applicants, nor does the US have an externally graded competency assessment system, which is key to the secondary school curriculum, as do most other industrialized nations. The US Department of Labor Secretary's Com mission on Achieving Necessary Skills(SCANS)recently made a start on developing such a sys tem by identifying the five competencies that effective workers can productively use and the three-part foundation of skills and personal qualities that competence(能力)requires.
Employers and policy makers call for improvements in education because ______.
A.international competition demands capable and responsible workers
B.economic competitiveness demands students with advanced technology
C.productivity cannot be further raised with the present educational level
D.schools overemphasize working skills at the expense of academic skills
