I separated them into six groups and gave them an example: a restaurant chain. The more original their idea, the better, I said. Finally, five of the six groups presented plans for restaurant chains. The sixth proposed a catering(餐飲 ) service. Though I admitted the time limit had been difficult, I expressed my disappointment. My students were middle managers, financial analysts and financiers from stateowned enterprises and global panies. They were not without talent or opinions, but they had been shaped by an educational system that rarely stressed or rewarded critical thinking or inventiveness. The scene I just described came in different forms during my two years? teaching at the school. Papers were often copied from the Web and the Harvard Business Review. Case study debates were written up and just memorized. Students frequently said that copying is a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating. In China, every product you can imagine has been made and sold. But so few welldeveloped marketing and management minds have been raised that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand. With this problem in mind, partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established. And then there?s the “thousandtalent scheme”: this new government program is intended to improve technological modernization by attracting top foreigntrained scientists to the mainland with big money. But there are worries about China?s research environment. It39。s hardly known for producing independent thinking and openness, and even big salary offers may not be attractive enough to overe this. At last, for China, being a major world creator is not just about setting up partnerships with top Western universities. Nor is it about gathering a group of welleducated people and telling them to think creatively. It?s about establishing a rich learning environment for young minds. It?s not that simple. ( )1.

Because all the students copied a case for the difficult topic. D. Because the students? ideas were lacking in creativeness. ( )2. The underlined word “scheme” in the forth paragraph means__________.
