问题    Sometimes, people simply do not realize they are being ill mannered. Take Ted, for example. He prides himself on speaking his mind, and has something to say on everything. But his frankness is often extremely embarrassing.
   He is incapable of saying, " I thought that last advertising campaign had a lot of good ideas in it, but perhaps next time we could give the copy more vitality (活力). " Instead, he would say, " That campaign was a disaster. A child of three could have done better!"
   The fact that he is often right does not help. Other employees dislike his manner even more, he is too insensitive to notice.
   Another character among the list of ill-mannered employees is Sally, who seems to regard just being at work as a severe punishment. Everything is done unwillingly. Asking her to do a task beyond her basic job description is often not worth the trouble. It will be done, but half-heartedly.
   Fergus is just the opposite. He shows an over-familiarity to his boss. When an important visitor is shown into the manager’ s office, Fergus cannot take the hint and leave. Instead he will attempt to take part in the conversation, declaring, "You can talk in front of me. Henry and I don’ t have many secrets, do we?" Over the years Fergus has fallen behind his former equals. But he seeks to maintain the same close relationship that he imagines existed in their younger days.
From the passage, we can infer that Fergus______.
选项 A、was once close to all his colleagues
B、has remained in the same position for years
C、doesn’ t know what a hint is
D、knows everything that happens in the office
答案B
解析 根据最后一段倒数第二句“Over the years Fergus has fallen behind his former equals．”可知，几年到头来Fergus已经落后于他当年的同僚们。由此可推知，Fergus一直没有升职。故选B。
