9、 strawberries, similar in appearance. One came out of a supermarket box, meaning it was probably harvested before it is fully grown, immediately placed in a forced-air cooling unit, loaded onto a refrigerated truck and driven hundreds of miles.

10、sed. The other strawberry was picked from a garden minutes before being eaten.The first one will probably not taste good as expected. The second is likely to be sweet; the flavor will remain in the mouth. Supermarket strawberries are not entirely without advantages: they are convenient and available
11、 even in winter. But the two berries differ from each other in the same way that hearing music in a concert hall differs from listening to an MP3. The home-grown fruit is an eatable case for planting a home garden.Planting cool-weather greens can seem meaningless as well-stocked supermarket shelves
12、are available all week. But the same could be said of cooking: cheap and good restaurants everywhere, so why bother to make your own meals?That attitude fails to understand the basic appeal of gardening: it mistakes the product for the purpose. It is true that a garden can produce tomatoes and carro
13、ts that taste like themselves rather than the plastic they are usually packaged in. Finding some favorite vegetables in the shops can take some time, effort and expense; growing your own vegetables, rare or routine, ensures a reliable supply.On the other hand, a garden, especially in the early years
14、, can also produce frustration. Creative gardeners may plant the wrong crops for their soil. Little animals may have the habit of taking single bites of cucumbers, beans and tomatoes. And even expert gardeners can lose a seasons harvest to uncooperative weather.No matter. The real joy of gardening i
15、s the time spent doing it. The deepest pleasure- -as with cooking, writing, bringing up children or almost anything worthwhile- -is in the work itself.

20、 get more women into management, most company bosses are still men. Encouraging women to be more confident isnt the best way to deal with the leadership gap between males and females.

This so-called opt-out model pushes companies to keep hiring employees unless the staff take steps to show they dont want to participate.Research
23、ers tested the idea in the lab. In a series of experiments, more than 1,000 men and women worked in teams on a variety of tasks. They were all evaluated on the quality of their work, and the highest performers naturally became bosses unless they actively gave up. Surprise: The management male/female
24、 gap narrowed in the opt-out model.In another group where people needed to opt in to be considered for a leadership role, the imbalance continued, even when women knew they were top performers and would surely become the boss if they applied. The suggestion is that all those efforts to support equal
