The Success of Cindy Hess
Cindy Hess began her automotive career as a Design and Development Engineer with Chrysler, in the fall of 1977. Today, she is Vice-President of Daimler Chrysler, and head of the Small Car Platform Engineering Department which is directly responsible for the design and development of the Neon, Dodge Viper, and all future small cars.
" Many different departments are involved in bringing a product to market, " said Hess, referring to the 2000 Neon. "A company looks into renewing a particular vehicle when its marketplace demand is good, and the profits increase our shareholder’s value, " explained Hess. "We look to our market research in determining which options we’ll keep the same or delete, and which ones we want to add to improve our appeal. "
Now that the Neon 2000 is on the market, her team will use survey and research results to determine which option packages work best for the consumer, and what improvements, if any, need to be made. And the beat goes on.
Hess supervises 1, 200 engineers while managing a successful life as wife and mother. Her secret, she said, is to "always try to give 150 percent in everything I do. The only way I can really balance my work and family is by ’ cheating at both ends, ’ for example, " Hess said, " I always take my boys to school on the first day of the year—so I come in a little late. A few times a year I leave work for a couple of hours to see my son in a play or to attend his swim meet.
Like most other successful women in the auto industry, Hess’s day begins early and ends late, In her case, coaching her son’s basketball game ends some of Hess’s days. " Occasionally, " she adds, "I come in to work on the weekends to catch up on paperwork and mail and have also been known to be called to work while I am on vacation. "
What does Cindy mean by "cheating at both ends" ?
选项
A、Do things for her family when she is supposed to be at work
B、Work for the company while she is supposed to stay at home.
C、Meet the demands of both family and work with a flexible schedule.
D、Balance the needs of her family against the demands of her work.
答案
C
解析
本题考查考生结合上下文理解多义词意思的能力。题目是:辛迪说的“cheat at both ends”是什么意思?选C的原因是cheat一词的意思很多:欺骗,哄骗,侥幸逃脱等,因为上文的陈述和下文的例证体现出作者对这一做法是持肯定态度的,认为海斯是一个“successful woman”(第五段第一行),结合海斯在下文的具体做法:新学年的第一天送儿子去学校,这样就来得晚些。一年中有几次,她会将工作放下几小时看儿子演话剧或者出席他的游泳比赛,考生得知”cheat at both ends”在此句的实际意思应如选项C所讲的,灵活安排日程,满足家庭和工作的需求。
