The more women and minorities make their way into the ranks of management, the more they s

eem 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).

According to the passage, "things formerly judged to be best left unsaid" (in Para. 1) probably refers to ______.

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

W：Well，it seems to me women are much better at dealing with more than one thing at a time．I don't know whether this has to do with the difference in their brain or whether it's just how they have to cope more often with more than one thing．For example，it is usually women who work，have babies．look after the babies and take the main, responsibility for looking after the home．And maybe it's practicing all that makes women be better able to do more than one thing at a time．Men，it seems to me，can only concentrate on one thing at a time，including boring domestic things like washing the dishes．If a friend of mine who is a man washes the dishes he'll find it quite difficult to conduct a conversation at the same time．whereas if I'm doing the dishes I'm always talking to someone．probably cooking something as well，and finding that not too stressful．

M：Do you think women are more interested in personal relationships than men？

听力原文：M: Do you think women are generally better at certain things than men？

W: Well, it seems to me women are much better at dealing with more than one thing at a time. I don't know whether this has to do with the difference in their brain or whether it's just how they have to cope more often with more than one thing. For example, it is usually women who work, have babies, look after the babies and take the main responsibility for looking after the home. And maybe it's practicing all that makes women be better able to do more than one thing at a time. Men, it seems to me, can only concentrate on one thing at a time, including boring domestic things like washing the dishes. If a friend of mine who is a man washes the dishes he'll find it quite difficult to conduct a conversation at the same time, whereas if I'm doing the dishes I'm always talking to someone, probably cooking something as well, and finding that not too stressful.

M: Do you think women are more interested in personal relationships than men？

W: Generally, yes, though again I don't know if this is because that from an early age they are taught to please other people, whereas men are always taught to please themselves. I think relationships are more central to most women's lives. For example, I think men don't have very good conversations with each other, whereas women do. If you listen to women talking, often they will be having, after a relatively short time of knowing each other, fairly personal and truthful conversations, whereas men have conversations not about what I'd call real things. They will talk about their work in a very superficial way, or their interests in a very superficial way, for example, and football is the—um—just a sort of way for men to relate to each other without actually saying anything important, it appears to me.

听力原文：W: Hi, John.

M: Hi, Jenny.

W: One of the issues today is the digital divide. What does it mean？

M: It refers to the divide between who is online and who isn't.

W: What's the nature of the breakdown？ Who are they saying is online and who isn't？

M: They are looking at three principal portions of the American population with regard to the ethnic gap, the income gap and also different age groups.

W: What do they discover？

M: They find that today 30% of African Americans, 33% of Hispanic Americans, and 47% of White Americans, are online, but the largest portion of the American population are Asian Americans with 65% online.

W: Do they offer any explanations about why this might be？

M: Well, one reason of course is income. The low income population's use of the Internet is less, For example, for those who earn ＄75000 annually, over 70% have computers lined to the Internet.

W: Well, computers are still a fairly pricey item, although prices are coming down.

M: But they're predicting that within five years double the amount of people will be using them.

W: Going back, to this digital divide, do men and women use the Internet equally？ Is there a gender divide？

M: No. Not only is there not a gender divide but the prediction is this year more women will be online than men.

W: Really？

M: But the difference here is the sites they visit. Men are interested in financial and technology sites. Women tend to prefer sites dealing with more personal matters. For instance, they want to find out about women's health. So while both men and women are online, there is a difference in what they go online for.

W: Yeah. Interesting. What did the study say about the future growth？

M: Well, they're forecasting that three quarters of the country will be online within five years.

W: That's fast, isn't it？

M: Sure. We'd better get involved.

W: Right.

What is the main idea of the dialogue？

A．Income is the main factor that determines who are online and who are not.

B．The digital divide is determined by factors such as income, race and age.

C．More and more people in the United States will go online in the near future.

D．Both men and women are interested in going online but they visit different sites.

第9题

There seem to be two main reasons that women cry more often. One is biological. Up to age

12, boys and girls cry equally often. From then until age 18, the level of the hormone prolactin(催乳激素) rises in young women, until their blood contains 60 per-cent more than men' s. And prolactin affects the production of tears.

On the sociological side, men in particular are conditioned out of crying. From the age of 12 or 13, boys are told that crying shows a loss of control, that it is a sign of weakness. If men step outside the norm and show their feelings in the workplace, they run the risk of getting labels attached that are not complimentary.

Researches on conversations show that women are more likely to talk about feelings, men about activities. This is a reflection of our socialization. Also, men are more likely to express their opinions. It gives rise to women feeling enormous frustration about getting their views across. When women are crying at work, it's often out of sheer frustration, about not being able to get their needs identified, known, put across, and getting a response to them…There is a sense of "I'm not being taken seriously." The trouble is, if a woman cries in this situation, men are likely to say, "She's far too emotional." There are, though, a couple of arenas(活动场所) in which it seems to be acceptable for men to be emotional: sports and especially more recently, politics. An essay in Times magazine once reported on timely tears from former Presidents George Bush and Richard Nixon. The Times essay says 1988 presidential candidate Patricia Schroeder' s tears led some to describe her as "just another weak woman, temperamentally unfitted for the presidency". It concludes: "Men may weep, but women must prove them- selves made of sterner stuff."

The cause for women crying more often is that______。

A．women are born to be weaker than men

B．women have more prolactin in their bodies

C．men are taught not to cry

D．both B and C

听力原文：M: What did you think about the video we were supposed to watch for Professor Ste

phen' s class？

W: I didn't see it. Was it good？

M: Really it was. It was about stress, the effects of stress on the national health.

W: It was interesting, right？

M: Yes. I think they said that one out of nine women aged 45 to 65 will have a heart attack.

W: I' m surprised at that.

M: I was too. Oh, another thing. They said that women usually don' t get the same level of care as men do, so the heart attack is likely to be more serious.

W: Why is that？

M: Because many members of the medical profession still think of a heart attack as a male problem, so they don' t recognize the symptoms in women patients.

W: Well, it does sound very interesting. I' m going to try to see it before class next time, so I'll be ready for the discussion.

(23)

A．It is required by Professor Stephen.

B．It is very interesting.

C．He wants to know about heart attacks.

D．He took part in the discussion.
