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.
To get promoted, one must not only be competent but_____.

选项 A、give his boss a good impression
B、honest and loyal to his company
C、get along well with his colleagues
D、avoid being too outstanding

答案A

解析 推断题。依据第八段内容。在该段中,管理心理学家Neil P.Lewis 说:“通常情况下,首先衡量人们的标准就是在相同的情况下看他们完成工作的能力。但是,如果提升的候选人有两个或者三个,其能力又相同,经理通常会提升他所喜欢的人。这是一般的人性。”由此可以推断出:得到老板的喜欢,给老板留下一个好的印象,这也是提升所必需的一个方面。故选项A正确。
