DiversityAs
a
manager,
Tiffany
is
responsible for
interviewing applicants for some of the positions
with her company. During one
interview,
she
noticed
that
the
candidate
never
made
direct
eye
contact.
She
was
puzzled
and
somewhat disappointed because she liked
the individual had a perfect resume and
gave
good
responses
to
her
questions,
but
the
fact
that
he
never
looked
her
in
the
eye
said
“untrustworthy,” so she decided to
offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t
until I attended a
diversity
workshop
that
I
realized
the
person
we
passed
over
was
the
perfect
person,”
Tiff
any
confesses. What she hadn’t known at the
time of the interview was Opt the candidate’s
“d
ifferent
”
behavior
was
simply
a
cultural
misunderstanding.
He
was
an
Asian-
American
raised
in
a
household where respect
for those in authority was shown by averting
(
避开
) your
eyes.
“
I was
just
thrown off by the lack of eye contact; not
realizing it was cul
tural,” Tiffany
says. “I missed
out,
but
will
not
miss
that
opportunity
again.”Many
of
us
have
had
similar
encounters
with
behaviors
we
perceive
as
different.
As
the
world
becomes
smaller
and
our
workplaces
more
diverse, it is becoming essential to
expand our understanding of others and to
reexamine some of
our
false
assumptions.Hire
AdvantageAt
a
time
when
hiring
qualified
people is becoming
more difficult, employers who can eliminate
invalid biases (
偏见
) from the
process
have
a
distinct
advantage.
My
company,
Mindsets
LLC,
helps
organizations
and
individuals see their
own blind spots. A real estate recruiter we worked
with illustrates the positive
difference
such
training
can
make.“During
my
Mindsets
c
oaching
session,
I
was
taught
how
to
recruit a diversified workforce. I
recruited people from different cultures and skill
sets. The agents
were able to utilize
their full potential and experiences to build up
the company. When the real
estate
teethes began to change, it was because we had a
diverse agent pool that we were able to
say in the real estate market much
longer than others in the same
profession.”Blinded

an
account
executive
who
attended
one
of
my
workshops
on
su
pervising a diverse
workforce. “Through one of the sessions, I
discovered my personal bias,” he
recalls.
“I
learned
I
had
not
been
looking
at
a
person
as
a
whole
person,
and
being
open
to
differences.”
In
his
case,
the
blindness
was
not
about

but
rather
gender.“I

__48__ and awful to be able to speak in a
language but not
to write in it
English. with its rich vocabulary. being able to
speak but not write is like living in an

just
as

teach
to

students practice journal writing, they are
practicing for
their future academic,
political, and __55__ lives. They build skills so
that some day they might
write a great
novel,a piece of sorely needed legislation, or the
perfect love letter. Every day that
they write in their journals puts them
a step __56__ to fluency, eloquence
(

), and command of
language.

(1)The January fashion show, called
FutureFashion, exemplified how far green design
has come.
Organized by the New York-
based nonprofit Earth Pledge, the show inspired
many top designers
to
work
with
sustainable
fabrics
for
the
first
time.
Several
have
since
made
pledges
to
include
organic fabrics in
their designers who undertake green fashion still
face many challenges.
Scott Hahn,
cofounder with Gregory of Rogan and Loomstate,
which uses all-organic cotton, says
high-
quality sustainable
materials can still be tough to find. “Most
designers with existing labels
are
finding there aren’t comparable fabrics that can
just replace what you’re d
oing and what
your
customers are used to,” he says.
For example, organic cotton and
non
-organic cotton are virtually
indistinguishable once woven into a
dress. But some popular synthetics,
like stretch nylon, still
have
few
eco-
friendly
who
do
make
the
switch
are
finding
they
have
more
support.
Last
year
the
influential
trade
show
Designers
&
Agents
stopped
charging
its
participation fee for
young green entrepreneurs
(
企业家
) who attend its two
springtime shows in
Los Angeles and New
sustainable special recognition to designers whose
collections are at least
25%
sustainable. It now counts more than 50 green
designers, up from fewer than a dozen two
years
ago.
This
week
Wal-Mart
is
set
to
announce
a
major
initiative
aimed
at
helping
cotton
farmers
go
organic:
it
will
buy
transitional
(
过渡型的
)
cotton
at
higher
prices,
thus
helping
to
expand
the
supply
of
a
key
sustainable
material.
“
Mainstream
is
about
to
occur,
”
says
analysts
(
分析师
) fl are less sure.
Among consumers, only 18% are even aware that
ecofashion exists, up from 6% four
years ago. Natalie Hormilla, a fashion writer, is
an example of
the unconverted consumer.
When asked if she owned any sustainable clothes,
sh
e replied: “Not
that I’m
aware of.” Like most consumers, she finds little
time to shop, and when she does, she’s on
the hunt for “cute stuff that isn’t too
expensive.” By he
r own admission, green
just isn
’
t yet on her
mind. But
—
thanks
to the combined efforts of designers, retailers
and suppliers
—
one day it
will be.

up in people’s hair.“You’re what you
eat and drink, and that’s recorded in your hair,”
said Thure
Ceiling, a geologist at the
University of U.S. diet is relatively identical,
water supplies
vary. The differences
result from weather patterns. The chemical
composition of rainfall changes
slightly as rain clouds hydrogen and
oxygen atoms in water are stable, but traces of
both
elements
are
also
present
as
heavier
isotopes

The
heaviest
rain
falls
first.
As
a
result, storms that form
over the Pacific deliver heavier water to
California than to r
patterns exist
throughout the U.S. By measuring the proportion of
heavier hydrogen and oxygen
isotopes
along a strand of hair, scientists can construct a
geographic timeline. Each inch of hair
corresponds to about two g’s team
