It is not unusual for chief executives to collect millions of dollars a year in pay, stock options, and bonuses. In the last fifteen years, while executive remuneration rose, taxes in the highest income bracket went down. Millionaires are now commonplace.
Amiability is not a prerequisite for rising to the top, and there are a number of chief executive officers with legendary bad tempers. It is not the boss’ job to worry about the well-being of his subordinates although the man with many enemies will be swept out more quickly in hard times; it is the company he worries about. His business savvy is supposed to be based on intimate knowledge of his company and the industry so he goes home nightly with a full briefcase. At the very top—and on the way up—executives are exceedingly dedicated.
The American executive must be capable of enough small talk to get him through the social part of his schedule, but he is probably not a highly cultured individual or an intellectual. Although his wife may be on the board of the symphony or opera, he himself has little time for such pursuits. His reading may largely concern business and management, despite interests in other fields. Golf provides him with a sportive outlet that combines with some useful socializing.
These days, he probably attempts some form of aerobic exercise to "keep the old heart in shape" and for the same reason goes easy on butter and alcohol, and substances thought to contribute to taking highly stressed executives out of the running. But his doctor’s admonition to "take it easy" falls on deaf ears. He likes to work. He knows there are younger men nipping at his heels.
Corporate head-hunting, carried on by "executive search firms", is a growing industry. America has great faith in individual talent, and dynamic and aggressive executives are so in demand that companies regularly raid each other’s managerial ranks.
We can infer from the second paragraph that
选项
A、promotion depends on amiability.
B、chief executives do not work hard enough at the top level.
C、it is the duty of the chief executive to look after the well-being of his subordinates.
D、a chief executive is expected to know more about his company and the industry.
答案
D
解析
根据题干定位至第2段,该段倒数第2句中提到:“His business savvy is supposed to...goes home nightly with a full briefcase.”(执行官应当十分熟悉自己的公司以及所处的行业,所以常常每晚带上满满一公文包的资料回家。),故D项符合文意,为本题答案。根据本段首句“Amiability is not a prerequisite for rising to the top”可排除A,根据本段末句“At the very top...exceedingly dedicated”可排除B,由本段第2句“It is not the boss’job to worry about the well-being of his subordinates”可将C排除。
