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, but 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 only 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 equal. But he seeks to maintain the same close relationship that he imagines existed in their younger days.
The writer is taking the point of view of______.

选项 A、a colleague
B、people like Ted
C、an employee
D、a manager

答案D

解析 根据文章里提到的三个人的例子,他们都属于那些不知道自己举止不当的人,并且影响了同事间的关系或自己职位的提升。可见作者所采用的角度应该是高于他们的,因此推断出D选项。
