人郵第二輯真題TEST 2 READING PART 4
　　Managing a career on the way up is quite different from managing one at the top of an organisation. Individuals on the way up have to build relationships with the people they (19)to.They usually have to (20) with subordinates in addition to people at the same level as themselves. The most senior staff only have those under them to relate to. This book (21)the idea that all working relationships, including the relationship with one's boss, can and should be managed.
　　You do not have to be (22) than your manager in order to manage the relationship. Nor do you have to be better than your manager in any (23).Your manager may well be your career (24) and guide: he or she may have taught you almost everything you know about your(25) of business - and may continue to teach you more. You may be planning to remain under his or her guidance in the future. None of these (26)should alter your relationship with your manager or (27) you off 'managing upwards'. I use this phrase to (28) to the management of one's boss because, for many people on the way up, it is the first relationship they have to get right.
　　You can, of course, get on at work just by (29) positively to your manager, but that is not likely to be the most successful way to (30) your working life. An active policy of managing upwards will make you more successful and, at the same time, make the business of going to work more enjoyable. It can also be a way to show (31) to your manager for the efforts he or she has made on your (32) Finally, managing upwards will make it easier for your manager to manage you,leaving him or her more time for other (33) and tasks.

　　Managing upwards，打理同上司的關(guān)系。
　　19題，report to，對什么。。。負(fù)責(zé)，隸屬；從屬。用在這里句子意思正好：處于上升階段的個人需要同他們所從屬的人處理好關(guān)系。A、B的詞后面都接of，account to 是解釋的意思，用在這里意思不對。
　　20題，聯(lián)系此空上下文，應(yīng)該是說處理與下屬的關(guān)系。deal with后接somebody是表示處理和某人的關(guān)系。A、B意思不對，C是及物動詞，后面不需要with。
　　21題，promote促進(jìn)，推動。promote the idea，推動某個想法。
　　22題，根據(jù)意思選詞。處理與上司的關(guān)系不需要比上司更聰明。其他幾個詞用在此處的話都有些怪異，很容易排除。
　　23題，respect，指方面。與aspect同義。常見的用法。
　　24題，這個空要聯(lián)系上下文，并且參考后面的guide。“ he or she may have taught you almost everything you know”，也就是說TA會對你的工作進(jìn)行很多指導(dǎo)，因為有taught，所以不是supporter或者h(yuǎn)elper，選leader又感覺拉遠(yuǎn)了距離，因此選adviser。
　　25題，一個讓人頭疼的商業(yè)英語固定詞組。line of business，有業(yè)務(wù)和經(jīng)營產(chǎn)品的意思。提供幾個例句就很好理解含義了：
　　We specialize in this line of business我們專門經(jīng)營此項服務(wù)；
　　Does this item come under your line of business? 我想知道這種產(chǎn)品屬您經(jīng)營的范圍嗎?
　　You meet some very interesting people in my line of business干我們這行，你會遇到很多有趣的人。
　　26題，根據(jù)前后文意思，選factors，因素。
　　27題，put off一般表示延遲，但它還有一個不太出名的意思是阻礙。see off，送行；keep off,遠(yuǎn)離；take off，起飛。
　　28題，根據(jù)意思選refer to，提及，描述。
　　29題，react to，固定搭配，對什么作出反應(yīng)。用在這里意思也吻合。
　　30題，the most successful way to (30) your working life，意思上應(yīng)該填入表示經(jīng)營、管理等的意思，run有這個意思。C和D　用法不對，forward something是指轉(zhuǎn)發(fā)郵件。
　　31題，appreciation，，表示感激之情。
　　32題，on one’s behalf，站在某人的立場上，為某人的利益。此處的意思是對他為你所做出的努力表示感激。
　　33題，role，職能，角色。為經(jīng)理騰出空來扮演其他的角色。position是位置，位置一直是經(jīng)理，沒別的；act是行為，法案。
