experience is sought; experience is explained.” the problem is that learning from experience involves（涉及） serious complications（复杂化）, ones that are part of the nature of experience itself and which march discusses in the body of this book. in one interesting part of the book, for example, he turns a doubtful eye toward the use of stories as the most effective way of experiential learning. in our efforts to make stories interesting, he argues, we lose part of the complicated truth of things. he says “the more accurately（精确的）reality is presented, the less understandable the story, and the more understandable the story, the less realistic it is. ”besides being a broadly knowledgeable researcher, march is also a poet, and his gift shines though in the depth of views he offers and the simple language he uses. though the book is short, it is demanding: dont pick it up looking for quick, easy lessons. rather, be ready to think deeply about learning from experience in work and life. 9. according to the text, james march is _. a. a poet who uses experience in his writingb. a teacher who teaches story writing in universityc. a researcher who studies the way humans think and actd. a professor who helps organizations make important decisions10. according to james march, experience _. a. is overvalued b. is easy to explainc. should be actively soughtd. should be highly respected11. what can we learn from paragraph 3?a. experience makes stories more accurate. b. stories made interesting fail to fully present the truth. c. the use of stories is the best way of experiential learning. d. stories are easier to understand when reality is more accurately described. 12. whats the purpose of this text?a. to introduce a book. b. to describe a researcher. c. to explain experiential learning. d. to discuss organizational decision making. 一、 书面表达:2011年湖南高考- 书面表达训练（七）假设你参加所在年级的英文写作比赛，请按照要求完成一篇短文：1.简要描述下图内容，并点明主题；2.联系实际，表达该图带给你的启示。注意：1.词数不少于120个；2. 不能使用
