问题    To be a good manager, you must be careful to distinctly define the proper boundary between yourself and your staff. Here are some points to remember:
   Be clear about the relationship. To maintain the respect of your employees while being friends with them, you must be direct about the nature of your business relationship. This means being clear about what the goals are, how your employees are to help you reach them, and what they can expect from you. By communicating these things clearly, you avoid the risk that an employee can misinterpret your friendship and behave in an unprofessional manner.
   Be social—to a degree. In most offices, there’ s usually a lot of social networking, whether it’ s a Friday lunch or drinks after work. It’ s natural for managers to be a part of that. Just remember to socialize with everyone, be careful with the alcohol, and don’t be the last one at the party. Also, keep socializing at the office to a minimum. You want to ensure that you are respected as well as liked.
   Don’t fake it. Maybe you want to try to be friends with all your employees, because you think that would strengthen your team. While some management training courses stress that bosses should ask their staff about their personal lives, such as their weekend plans, their families, or their children, such efforts can backfire if the manager is viewed as not being sincere. It’ s okay to ask occasional questions of staff, but don’ t make a big production out of it. Getting to know people takes time.
The word "backfire" in the last paragraph most probably means "______".
选项 A、strengthen the relationship
B、start a fire in the backyard
C、produce an undesired result
D、improve management skills
答案C
解析 根据最后一段第三、四句"...bosses should ask their staff about their personal lives, such as their weekend plans, their families, or their children, such efforts can backfire if the manager is viewed as not being sincere. It’ s okay to ask occasional questions of staff..."可知，虽然一些管理培训课程强调老板应该询问员工的个人生活， 但如果管理者被认为不真诚的话，这种努力会产生负面的效果。由此可推知，backfire 意为“(计划或行动)发生意外，产生事与愿违的结果”，与C项“产生不期望的结果” 意思最为接近。故选C。
