Part II Reading Comprehension (35 minutes)
Directions There are 4 passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some
questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices
marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the
corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the centre.
Passage One
Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.
A is for always getting to work on time.
B is for being extremely busy.
C is for the conscientious ( 勤勤恳恳的 ) way you do your job.
You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to
getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for
politics, as in office politics.
Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago Hard work alone doesn’t
ensure career advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas,
both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of
engaging in office politics—a better job, a raise, praise—many people are
still unable—or unwilling—to play the game.
People assume that office politics involves some manipulative ( 工 于 心 计 的 )
behavior, says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra
University. But politics derives from the word ’polite’. It can mean lobbying
and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to
please your superior, and then expecting something in return.
In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to
pursue one’s own self-interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves
some form of socializing within the office environment—not just in large
companies, but in small workplaces as well.
The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well
on a consistent basis, says Neil P. Lewis, a management psychologist. But if
two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably
similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best.
It’s simple human nature.
Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the
concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic
vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics
with flattery(奉 承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may
appear to be flattering their boss for favors.
Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some
self-promotion.
11. Office politics (Line 2, Para. 4) is used in the passage to refer to .
A) the code of behavior for company staff
B) the political views and beliefs of office workers
C) the interpersonal relationships within a company
D) the various qualities required for a successful career
12. To get promoted, one must not only be competent but .
A) give his boss a good impression
B) honest and loyal to his company
C) get along well with his colleagues
D) avoid being too outstanding 13. Why are many people unwilling to play the
game (Line 4, Para. 5)
A) They believe that doing so is impractical.
B) They feel that such behavior is unprincipled.
C) They are not good at manipulating colleagues.
D) They think the effort will get them nowhere.
