People want to get ahead when they are working in office, but not everyone can reach the goal．Let’s read the passage and we believe you can understand something useful for your working in the office．

A is for always getting to work on time．

B is for being very busy．

C is for the conscientious （勤勤恳恳） way you do your job ．

You may be all these kinds of people at the office, and even more．But when it comes to getting ahead, some experts say, the ABCs above are not enough, a P should be included, for P—politics, as in office politics．

Dale Carneigie suggested much about office politics（策略） more than 90 years ago: Hard work alone doesn’t ensure career advancement．You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes．Yet, in spite of the obvious rewards of engaging in office politics, a better job, a raise, praise, but many people are still unable or unwilling to “play the game．”

“People think that office politics involves some manipulative （工于心计的） behavior, ” says Deborah Comer , an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University．“But politics comes from the word ‘polite’．It can also mean controlling and forming associations （交往）．It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your boss, and then expecting something in return．”

In fact, today, experts explain office politics as proper behavior used to go after one’s own self-interest in the workplace．In many cases, this involves some forms of socializing within the office environment—not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well．

“The first thing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on their work,” says Neil P．Lewis, a management psychologist．“But if two or three candidates （候选人） are up for a position, each of whom has reasonably similar ability, a manager is going to choose the person he or she likes best to get ahead．It’s simple human nature．

Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the concept of politics in the office．Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed．Still others connect office politics with flattery （奉 承） , fearful that, if they speak up for themselves, they may appear to be flattering their boss for favors．

Experts suggested that office politics should be the need for some self-promotion （晋升）．

1.The underlined “Office politics” in （Para 5） is used in the passage to refer to ______．

A．the habit of getting to work on time．

B．the political views and beliefs of office workers．

C．the interpersonal relationships within a company．

D．the various qualities required for a successful career．

2.Why are many people unwilling to “play the game ”（Para．6）?

A．They believe that doing so is not polite．

B．They feel that such behavior is unprincipled（不道德的．）

C．They do like the manipulating workmates．

D．They think the effort will get them nothing．

3.The author considers office politics to be _______．

A．unwelcome at the workplace．

B．bad for interpersonal relationships．

C．impossible to the development of company culture．

D．an important factor for personal advancement．

4.It is the experts’ view that _______．

A．speaking up for oneself is part of human nature．

B．office politics is necessary to self-advancement．

C．hard work is of little importance to one’s promotion．

D．all employees can recognize the need for flattery．

The phone rings. I wait for the answering machine to get it, but it does not. I exhale（呼 气）,annoyed because I know the call would be the latest of 300 attempts to sell me products.

“Daddy, it's me. ” It's Alyce, my 12-year-old daughter “Mommy was just in a car accident.

My heart stops and then begins beating wildly.

“Are you all right?”

“Yes. ”

“Is Mommy?”

A deep sob “ I don't know. . . I don't think so. Come quick. ”

I sprint a few blocks to what looks like a scene of a disaster movie. A city bus is on the wrong side of the road, in front of which are the remains of Susan's car. Susan is severely injured but fortunately, still alive. Alyce is standing on the comer, uninjured.

Two years later at an event, our temple's musical director insisted that Susan and I had to meet someone. He returned with a woman with a bright smile. She told us, "When the accident happened that morning, I had rushed to the street and seen Alyce standing by the side of the car, crying. She wanted to call you but her phone was trapped inside the damaged vehicle. So I lent her my phone."

We had our photo taken together and introduced ourselves to each other. After hearing my name, she paused, as if maybe she hadn't heard me.

Then suddenly, she said, “Wait, your name is Susan?” Susan nodded. ''And your name is Douglas?”

“ Oh my goodness," the woman said. " My name is Susan Douglas."

1.Why did the writer refuse to pick up the phone himself at first?

A.Because he was too busy.

B.Because he didn't hear the phone ring.

C.Because he thought the call is commercial.

D.Because he wanted to test the answering machine.

2.What does the writer mean by saying "I sprint a few blocks"?

A.He went by a roundabout route.

B.He walked across a few barriers.

C.He wandered leisurely along the streets.

D.He ran very fast through several streets.

3.What can we learn from the story?

A.Alyce was hurt seriously in the car accident.

B.The couple and the woman had met before .

C.The woman lent Alyce her phone to call her father.

D.The woman wasn't surprised when hearing “Susan”.
