Many people dread going on foreign assignments — sometimes even before they’ve gone on one. They hear stories about how exhausting and disorienting business travel can be. They worry about getting sick, getting lonely, or getting killed. They’re afraid they won’t be liked or that they won’t succeed. But the fact is that for many people a foreign assignment can be the opportunity and thrill of a lifetime.
The Wall Street Journal reports the story of John Aliberti, who had spent his career working to become a midlevel manager for Union Switch in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Aliberti seemed like an odd choice for an overseas assignment; He had no experience in international travel and business. But when he was chosen to represent the company as technical expert and representative in China, Aliberti responded with enthusiasm; "Back home, the work we do, it’s been done for decades. In China you’re breaking new ground. It’s a milestone in the history of the world. "
By viewing his China assignment as an exciting adventure, Aliberti largely bypassed the negative effects of culture shock. According to the Well Street Journal, "The crowds and chaotic lines don’t faze him. He becomes animated telling stories of long train trips to out-of-the-way cities like Nanchang, where Union Switch is helping to build a railroad yard..."
Alibert’s enthusiastic attitude and his active interest in learning about the culture and business practices in China have helped him become a central figure in his company’s China operations. His job in Pittsburgh is two rungs below vice president. In China, according to his boss, " He acts like a president or CEO. That’s got to turn him on. "
"Aliberti largely bypassed the negative effects of culture shock. " "Bypass"(Para. 3)means ______.
选项
A、ignore
B、pass away
C、avoid
D、shortcut
答案
C
解析
词汇推断题。第三段首句提及Aliberti把去中国的工作任务看作一场令人兴奋的冒险,因此Aliberti largely bypassed the negative effects of cultural shock,由此可推断,他并没有遭受文化冲击的负面影响。C选项avoid“避开,绕开”与句意一致。故答案为C。
