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 requiting intellectual and technical skills. Indeed, two things have characterized. American society during these last fifty years: middle-class and upper-class employees have been the fastest-growing groups in our working population—rowing 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 bookkeeping. 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.
According to the writer, professional knowledge or skill is______.
选项
A、less important than awareness of being a good employee
B、as important as the ability to deal with public relations
C、more important than employer-employee relations
D、as important as the ability to co-operate with others in the organization
答案
A
解析
此题要求指出专业知识技能与其他能力、素质相比地位如何,即第二段的论点。由“employeeship is more important to Success than the special professional knowledge or skill.”和"the higher you climb the ladder,tile 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.”这两句话可以知道[A]是正确答案。
