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(报酬)rose, taxes in the highest income bracket went down. Millionaires are now commonplace.
Amiability(和蔼可亲)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’ s 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(机智)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 warning 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.
For executives, a golf course is a place where______.
选项
A、they can conduct their business
B、they can indulge themselves
C、they can cultivate their mind
D、they can exercise as well as socialize
答案
D
解析
根据题干信号词executive和a golf course可回文定位到第三段尾句Golfprovides him with a sportive outlet that combines with some useful socializing(高尔夫提供了运动的机会,顺便还可做些有价值的社交活动),故本句为题眼。
