Thank you all for coming to my talk this evening. It’s nice to see so many people in the audience. Building team spirit is always the focal point of what I have been trying to do as a manager. When I first went to Crystal Palace, football players would finish training and then go straight home. There was no atmosphere, so we brought in a pool table and fruit machines. When football players choose to spend time together, it generates a better atmosphere. The team spirit is very important, but I don’t believe in trying to motivate the team as a team. I try to motivate them as individuals. So I don’t give team talks. I speak to the players individually. And I try not to put too much pressure on them. I believe that football players perform best when they are relaxed. If they’re too tense, I can guarantee they won’t play well in a game.
    I also believe in giving people autonomy. I like all the people who work for me to be autonomous: therefore, I very rarely interfere. I feel people should be judged on their results. If they prove incompetent, then I’m incompetent if I keep on employing them. It’s like that with the team. I get criticized for not interfering during a game and making more substitutions. But I feel if I’ve chosen these eleven players to get a result, then I should leave them alone to get on with it.
    If I’m dropping a player from the team, I don’t feel I have to explain it to them If they want to discuss it, I’ll say "Come back and talk about it in a couple of days’ time." But I don’t try to re-motivate them. It’s up to them to have the character to fight back. I’m a great believer that almost everything you achieve in life is down to your attitude. If I have a football player who is magnificently gifted but has a bad attitude, I won’t waste my time on him.
20. What is the focal point of the speaker’s job?
21. According to the speaker, when do football players perform best?
22. What does the speaker strongly believe?

选项 A、People should not be judged on their results.
B、Team spirit is not so important to football players.
C、A gifted player with a bad attitude is worth keeping.
D、Everything one achieves in life is down to his attitude.

答案 D

解析 演讲者最后提出“我坚信你人生中几乎所有的成就都取决于你的态度”这个观点,题目中的strongly believe即为录音中a great believer的同义表达,that后面的内容即为答案所在,D项“一个人的所有成都取决于他的态度”是该处录音信息的第三人称转述,故为答案。A项“不应该以结果来评价人”与演讲者的观点刚好相反。B项“团队精神对足球运动员不是很重要”与原文观点“团队精神很重要”相反。C项“一个有天赋但态度很差的球员值得保留”恰好与录音最后一句演讲者说的“不会浪费时间在那些虽有天赋但态度不端的球员身上”相矛盾。
