问题 A is for always getting to work on time.
B is for being extremely busy.
C is for the conscientious(勤勤恳恳的) way you do your job.
    You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics.
    Dale Carnegie suggested as much more than 50 years ago hard work alone doesn’t ensure career advancement. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics—a better job, a raise, praise—many people are still unable—or unwilling—to play the game.
    People assume that office politics involves some manipulative (工于心计的) behavior, says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. But politics derives from the word polite . It can mean lobbying and forming associations. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your superior, and then expecting something in return.
    In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to pursue one’s own self - interest in the workplace. In many cases, this involves some form of socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well.
    The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis, says Neil P. Lewis, a management psychologist. But if two or three candidates are up for a promotion, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. It’s simple human nature.
    Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others associate politics with flattery (奉承), fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may apppear to be flattering their boss for favors.
    Experts suggest altering this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion.
Office politics (Line 2, Para. 4) is used in the passage to refer to_____.
选项 A、the code of behavior for company staff
B、the political views and beliefs of office workers
C、the interpersonal relationships within a company
D、the various qualities required for a successful career
答案D
解析 推断题。依据第四段第二句话。该句指出：专家说，要想在事业上取得成功，除了具有A(按时上班)、B(踏实)等品质外，还应该包括P(权术politics)。文章后面的部分就是对“office politics”的进一步解释说明。由此可知，office politics指的就是事业成功所需要的各种品质，故选项D正确。
