The more women and minorities make their way into the ranks of management, the more they seem to want to talk about things formerly judged to be best left unsaid. The newcomers also tend to see office matters with a fresh eye, in the process sometimes coming up with critical analyses of the forces that shape everyone’s experience in the organization.
Consider the novel views of Harvey Coleman of Atlanta on the subject of getting ahead. Coleman is black. He spent 11 years with IBM, half of them working in management development, and now serves as a consultant to the likes of AT&T, CocaCola, Prudential, and Merch. Coleman says that based on what he’s seen at big com panics, he weighs the different elements that make for longterm career success as follows: performance counts a mere 10%; image, 30%; and exposure, a full 60%. Coleman concludes that excellent job performance is so common these days that while doing your work well may win you pay increases, it won’t secure you the big promotion. He finds that advancement more often depends on how many people know you and your work, and how high up they are.
Ridiculous beliefs? Not to many people, especially many women and members of minority races who, like Coleman, feel that the scales have dropped from their eyes. "Women and blacks in organizations work under false beliefs," says Kaleel Jamison, a New York based management consultant who helps corporations deal with these issues. "They think that if you work hard, you’ll get ahead that someone in authority will reach down and give you a promotion." She added, "Most women and blacks are so frightened that people will think they’ve gotten ahead because of their sex or color that they play down their visibility." Her advice to those folks: learn the ways that white males have traditionally used to find their way into the spotlight (公众注意中心). [br] According to the passage, "things formerly judged to be best left unsaid" (in Para. 1) probably refers to ______.
选项
A、the opinions, which contradict the established beliefs
B、criticisms that shape everyone’s experience
C、the tendencies that help the newcomers to see office matters with a fresh eye
D、the ideas which usually come up with new ways of management in the organization
答案
A
解析
语意理解题。作者在第一段开头指出,随着越来越多的妇女和少数民族进入高级管理层,他们越来越想谈论以前认为最好不说的事情。第二句提到了“The newcomers also tend to see office matters with a fresh eye...”所以选A)与旧有的观点不一样的意见。
