It is not unusual for chief executives to collect millions of dollars a year in pay, stock options, and bonuses. In the last fifteen years, while executive remuneration rose, taxes in the highest income bracket went down. Millionaires are now commonplace.
Amiability is not a prerequisite for rising to the top, and there are a number of chief executive officers with legendary bad tempers. It is not the boss’s job to worry about the well-being of his subordinates although the man with many enemies will be swept out more quickly in hard times; it is the company he worries about. His business savvy is supposed to be based on intimate knowledge of his company and the industry so he goes home nightly with a full briefcase. At the very top and on the way up—executives are exceedingly dedicated.
The American executive must be capable of enough small talk to get him through the social part of his schedule, but he is probably not a highly cultured individual or an intellectual. Although his wife may be on the board of the symphony or opera, he himself has little time for such pursuits. His reading may largely concern business and management, despite interests in other fields. Golf provides him with a sportive outlet that combines with some useful socializing.
These days, he probably attempts some form of aerobic exercise to "keep the old heart in shape" and for the same reason goes easy on butter and alcohol, and substances thought to contribute to taking highly stressed executives out of the running. But his doctor’s admonition to "take it easy" falls on deaf ears. He likes to work. He knows there are younger men nipping at his heels.
Corporate head-hunting, carried on by "executive search firms," is a growing industry. America has great faith in individual talent, and dynamic and aggressive executives are so in demand that companies regularly raid each other’s managerial ranks. [br] What is NOT true according to the article?
选项
A、Executives tend to ignore doctors’ advice and warnings.
B、Executives are sensitive to pressure from the younger generation.
C、All chief executives can earn millions of dollars a year.
D、Executives are careful of what they eat.
答案
C
解析
本题选不正确的叙述。A执行官们倾向于忽视医生的建议和警告,由第四段倒数第二句But his doctor’s admonition to “take it easy” falls on deaf ears.可知是正确的,所以不选。B执行官们对来自年轻一代的压力是敏感的,由第四段最后一句可知是正确的,所以不选。C所有的首席执行官都可以每年赚数百万美元,由本文第一句可知此说法太绝对,只是说通常(usual)可赚这么多,所以不正确,应选。D执行官们对他们吃的东西很谨慎,由第四段第一句“goes easy on butter and alcohol,and substances thought to contribute to taking highly stressed executives out of the running.”可知,他们很少吃黄油和酒精,还有那些会使他们不能很好工作的食物。go easy的意思是to not take or use too much of something所以此句也正确,不选。
