Interviewer(M)    Caitlin Friedman(W)
Now, listen to Part One of the interview.
M:(1)Caitlin Friedman offers advice on being a smart woman-in-charge in her new book: The Girl’s Guide to Being a Boss Without Being Unpopular. Good morning, nice to have you here.
W: Right. Those women need my book, terribly.
M: Absolutely. Why is it that when women get into a position of power, when they become the boss or become leaders, they tend to be unpopular?
W: Well, we think there are two reasons.(2- 1)The first is, it’s really unfair that in the workplace people expect women to be emotionally there for them.(3 - 1)You would never take your personal problems to a male boss, but you do take them to a woman boss because women are nurturing, just because that’s what women do.
M:(3-2)You expect them to understand the issues with your kids or whatever.
W: Right,(4- 1)and the other thing is there haven’t been any positive women roles. I mean, there are very few positive women role models out there. Especially look at the movies, which say women are just crazy persons when they get a little power, so what we try to do in the book is to show people how to do it a little bit better.
M: And we’ll get to some of that in a minute, but why are the roles so different for men and women when they do become the boss?
W:(5)Well, I think it really has to do with the lack of role models. I mean, when we were growing up and coming into the professional environment, we had really tough women bosses, but they had learnt from men.(2 - 2)So we think that women need to be able to manage the way they are comfortable in managing.
M: What’s the No. 1 mistake women are making?
W: I think the No. 1 mistake women are making is that they’re trying to do something the way that’s not comfortable for them.(4-2)You know, you really need to be firm and fair. You need to know what your employees need from you before you just want to set out these blanket things. The other thing is that if you are emotional once in a workplace, you are the crier from then on, though you cried only this time in ten years. And that’s what happens to women. You know, they get stuck with these bad raps and we think that what you need to do is really try to be as firm and fair as possible.
This is the end of Part One of the interview. Questions 1 to 5 are based on what you have just heard.
1. What kind of job might the interviewee take for a living?
2. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as the reason why women bosses are unpopular?
3. What would people talk to a woman boss instead of a male boss?
4. What kind of performance is suggested for women bosses?
5. Which of the following issues about women bosses is given definite answer by the interviewee?

选项 A、People think women should be nurturing.
B、People think few positive women roles are available.
C、People think women don’t know the right way for management.
D、People think only men can manage employees well.

答案D

解析 本题考查重要细节。根据句(2一1)可知,人们总以为女性在工作场合也应该富有爱心和同情心,但这么想是不公平的。再根据句(2—2)可知,女性因为缺乏正面女性领导角色的模范,因此不知道该如何按照自己舒适的方式来很好地管理员工,这也是她们效仿男性强硬的领导方式而受到下属非议的原因。由上可知,文章并未提及人们认为只有男性才能起领导作用的陈述,因此[D]为正确答案。
