Ours has become a society of employees. A hundred years or so ago only one out of every five Americans at work was employed, i. e. , worked for somebody else. Today only one out of five is not employed but working for himself. And when fifty years ago "being employed" meant working as a factory laborer or as a farmhand, the employee of today is increasingly a middle-class person with a substantial formal education, holding a professional or management job requiring intellectual and technical skills. Indeed, two things have characterized American society during these last fifty years: middle-class and upper-class employees have been tile fastestgrowing groups in our working population—growing so fast that the industrial worker, that oldest child of the Industrial Revolution, has been losing in numerical importance despite the expansion of industrial production.
Yet you will find little if anything written on what it is to be an employee. You can find a great deal of very dubious advice on how to get a job or how to get a promotion. You can also find a good deal of work in a chosen field, whether it be the mechanist’s trade or book-keeping(簿记). Every one of these trades requires different skills, sets different standards, and requires a different preparation. Yet they all have employeeship in common. And increasingly, especially in the large business or in government, employeeship is more important to success than the special professional knowledge or skill. Certainly more people fail because they do not know the requirements of being an employee than because they do not adequately possess the skills of their trade; the higher you climb the ladder, the more you get into administrative or executive work, the greater the emphasis on ability to work within the organization rather than on technical abilities or professional knowledge. [br] The underlined word "dubious" (Line 2, Para. 2) most probably means _______.
选项
A、valuable
B、useful
C、doubtful
D、helpful
答案
C
解析
词汇猜测题。本题要求根据上下文推测dubious一词的意思。从第二段的总体意思来看,作者认为是否具备“雇员素质”是最重要的,目前找到的书籍大多是关于具体的像摄影师、簿记员等的行业指南之类的读物,这类读物偏偏缺少怎样当好一个雇员之类的介绍。第二段开始的语气转折词yet也是一个明显的信号,这四个选项中,只有选项C对这类指南持否定态度,符合文章意思,是正确选项。
