Sometimes, people simply do not realize they are being ill mannered. Take Ted, for example. He prides himself on speaking his mind, and has something to say on everything. But his frankness is often extremely embarrassing.
He is incapable of saying, " I thought that last advertising campaign had a lot of good ideas in it, but perhaps next time we could give the copy more vitality(活力). " Instead, he would say, " That campaign was a disaster. A child of three could have done better !"
The fact that he is often right does not help. Other employees dislike his manner even more, but he is too insensitive to notice.
Another character among the list of ill-mannered employees is Sally, who seems to regard just being at work as a severe punishment
. Everything is done unwillingly. Asking her to do a task beyond her basic job description is often not worth the trouble. It will be done, but only half-heartedly.
Fergus is just the opposite. He shows an over-familiarity to his boss. When an important visitor is shown into the manager’s office, Fergus cannot take the hint and leave. Instead he will attempt to take part in the conversation, declaring, "You can talk in front of me. Henry and I don’t have many secrets, do we?" Over the years Fergus has fallen behind his former equal. But he seeks to maintain the same close relationship that he imagines existed in their younger days.
Which of the following words describes Ted best?
选项
A、Cold.
B、Tactless.
C、Stupid.
D、Warm-hearted.
答案
B
解析
文章第一段第一句指出,有些时候有些人并不知道他们的举止不当,紧接着作者就举了Ted的例子,说他喜欢对任何事发表评论,但是好心经常引来一些尴尬的局面。因此可推断出B选项。
