One of the executives gathered at the Aspen Institute for a day-long leadership workshop using the works of Shakespeare was discussing the role of Brutus in the death of Julius Caesar." Brutus was not an honorable man," he said. “He was a traitor. And he murdered someone in cold blood." The agreement was that Brutus had acted with cruelty when other options were available to him. He made a bad decision, they said—at least as it was presented by Shakespeare—to take the lead in murdering Julius Caesar. And though one of the executives acknowledged that Brutus had the good of the republic in mind, Caesar was nevertheless his superior. "You have to endeavor," the executives said, "our policy is to obey the chain of command."
During the last few years, business executives and book writers looking for a new way to advise corporate America have been exploiting Shakespeare’s wisdom for profitable ends. None more so than husband and wife team Kenneth and Carol Adelman, well - known advisers to the White House, who started up a training company called "Movers and Shakespeares". They are amateur Shakespeare scholars and Shakespeare lovers, and they have combined their passion and their high level contacts into a management training business. They conduct between 30 and 40 workshops annually, focusing on half a dozen different plays, mostly for corporations, but also for government agencies.
The workshops all take the same form, focusing on a single play as a kind of case study, and using individual scenes as specific lessons. In Julius Caesar, sly provocation of Brutus to take up arms against the what was a basis for a discussion of methods of team building and grass roots organism.
Although neither of the Adelmans is academically trained in literature, the programmes, contain plenty of Shakespeare tradition and background.Their workshop on Henry V, for example, includes a helpful explanation of Henry’s winning strategy at the Battle of Agincourt. But they do come to the text with a few biases; their reading of Henry V minimizes his misuse of power. Instead, they emphasize the story of the youth who seizes opportunity and becomes a masterful leader. And at the workshop on Caesar, Mr. Adelmans had little good to say about Brutus, saying "the noblest Roman of them all" couldn’t make his mind up about things.
Many of the participants pointed to very specific elements in the play that they felt related Caesar’s pride, which led to his murder, and Brutus’s mistakes in leading the after the murder, they said, raise vital questions for anyone serving as a business when and how do you resist the boss?
According to paragraph 1, what did all the executives think of Brutus?
选项
A、Cruel
B、Superior
C、Honorable
D、rude
答案
A
解析
考查细节理解题。根据第一段描述所用的一些词语“not an honorable man不是一个受敬仰的人”“traitor叛徒”“in cold blood冷血”等可以得出答案为“cruel残忍的”。superior表示“较高的(级别、地位),较好的(在质量等方面),较多的(数量),上等的”;rude表示“粗鲁的”。故本题选A。
