It is a hot day, and the drive is dusty and boring. Someone has had the bright idea to interrupt a nice family game of dominoes (多米诺) to go on a four-hour round-trip to eat at a really not very good restaurant.When they are back home again, one family member admits that she hasn’t enjoyed herself all that much. One by one they all confess that they would rather have stayed at home. “I only went along with it because I thought the rest of you wanted to go,” says everyone. No one wanted to go to Abilene. It had just happened.This story was first told by Professor Jerry Harvey in an article published in 1974 called The Abilene Paradox (悖论) and other meditations on management. It offers a wonderful insight into the way that decisions can sometimes just emerge, without ever being consciously “made”. Whether they mean to or not, groups exert a pressure to conform (顺从). A senior management team can find itself a long way down the track to a bad decision without realizing that the idea has very little support around the table. Close-knit (组织严密的) teams are easily influenced by the pull of groupthink. The late Professor Janis suggested several ways in which teams can avoid it. Two key steps are to invite experts from outside into meetings, and to appoint at least one person to the role of “devil’s advocate” — a role that should be played by different people in different meetings.小题1:The four family members have decided to go on a four-hour round-trip to the town of Abilene because _______.A．they really like the restaurant they are going toB．they are tired of the game they have been playingC．they have not been to Abilene for a long timeD．everyone thinks all the other family members want to go小题2:When they are back home, they find that______.A．they have not really trusted each otherB．they have all enjoyed the trip except one family memberC．they would have had a better time if they had stayed at homeD．they have all had a good time although none of them wanted to go小题3:A senior management team can make a bad decision because ______.A．the idea has the support of everyone around the tableB．everyone on the team is too tired to think clearlyC．the group puts a pressure to conformD．they understand what each member means小题4:According to Professor Janis, at least one person should be appointed to the role of “devil’s advocate ” at each meeting so that _______.A．the pull of groupthink can be avoidedB．each member will play a different roleC．team members can agree with each other more easilyD．experts from the outside can be invited into meetings
