11、ly，according to Laszlo Bock，Googles Head of People Operations.When the company was small,Google cared a lot about getting kids from Harvard, Stanford,MIT and many other Ivy League schools. But Bock said it was the “wrong”hiring strategy. Experience has taught him there are exceptional kids at many o
12、ther places,from state schools in California to New York.“What we find is the best people from places like that are just as good，if not better，as anybody you can get from any Ivy League school，”said Bock，who just authored a book titled“Work Rules!”Every year，2 million people apply to get a job at Go
13、ogle. Bock himself has seen some 25,000 rsums.So what else does Google not care about:Grades:Googles data shows that grades predict performance for the first two years of a career，but do not matter after that.Brain-teasers:Gone are interview questions such as:Why are manhole covers（井盖)round? or How
14、many golf balls can fit in a school bus?“Our research tells us those questions are a waste of time,”Bock said“Theyre a really coachable skill.The more you practice,you get better at it.”Heres what Google does care about:Problem solvers:Your cognitive ability(认知能力),or how well you solve problems.Lead
15、ers:The idea is not whether you were president of the student body or vice president of the bank,but rather:“When you see a problem do you step in,help solve it,”and then critically，“Are you willing to step out and let somebody else take over，and make room for somebody else?Are you willing to give u
16、p power?”Googleyness:Thats what Google calls its cultural fit.Its not“Are you like us?”Bock said.“We actually look for people who are different，because diversity gives us great ideas.”“Whats most important is that people are intellectually humble,willing to admit when theyre wrong,and care about the
17、 environment around them.because we want people who think like owners not employess,”Bock said.The least important thing?Knowing how to do the job.“We figure if you get the first three right youll figure it out most of the time.”1、What does Bock mean in Paragraph 2?APeople from state schools can be

21、, Easterners fix their attention on the eyes.“We show that Easterners and Westerners look at different face features to read facial expressions,” Jack said. “Westerners look at the eyes and the mouth in equal measure, while Easterners favor the eyes and ignore the mouth.”According to Jack and his co
22、lleagues, the discovery shows that communication of human emotions is more complex than previously believed. As a result, facial expressions that had been considered universally recognizable cannot be used reliably to convey emotions in crosscultural situations.The researchers studied cultural diffe
23、rences in the recognition of facial expressions by recording the facial movements of 13 Western people and 13 Eastern people while they observed pictures of expressive faces and put them into categories: happy, sad, surprised, fearful, disgusted, or angry. They compared how accurately participants r
24、ead those facial expressions using their particular eye movement strategies.It turned out that Easterners focused much greater attention on the eyes and made significantly more errors than Westerners did. “The cultural difference in eye movements that they show is probably a reflection of cultural d
25、ifference in facial expressions,” Jack said. “Our data suggests that while Westerners use the whole face to convey emotions, Easterners use the eyes more and the mouth less.”In short, the data shows that facial expressions are not universal signals of human emotions. From here on, examining how cult
26、ural factors have diversified these basic social skills will help our understanding of human emotions. Otherwise, when it comes to communicating emotions across cultures, Easterners and Westerners will find themselves lost in translation.1、The discovery shows that Westerners _.Apay equal attention t
