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.
Which of the following words describes Ted best?
选项
A、Cold.
B、Tactless.
C、Stupid.
D、Warm-hearted.
答案
B
解析
根据第一段最后一句“But his frankness is often extremely embarrassing.”和第二段内容可知,Ted的坦率常常令人感到尴尬,他通常直接表达个人观点,而不会委婉地表述。由此可推知,Ted说话时没有策略,太过直白。选项B“不机智的,不老练的”,符合题意。选项A“冷酷的”,选项C“愚蠢的”,选项D“暖心的”,均不符合题意。故选B。
