D.解析：听力原文 W: We heard up there that if you are turned down the first time you try and persevere. But I cant imagine going back to a boss after youve been tu
28、rned down. M: Dont give up. Its so important not to give up. The first thing that you wanna do is try to understand what the situation is, engage in some candid conversation. I understand that you werent happy with my proposal or youre not able to approve it at this time. Tell me what some of your c
29、oncerns are because asking for a change in schedule is often about a negotiation. So maybe we can come up with some type of alternative or middle ground. And if thats not possible right now, lets set a timetable for when we can revisit it because whats not possible today could be plausible in three
30、or six months from now, because circumstances and attitudes change, so dont give up. W: Right, you dont have to be a pest. M: Thats right. W: But just dont give up quietly.

34、eek. W: But maybe the most skepticism raised by bosses is about the fact that youre really gonna do as much or even more work. How do you convince your boss, that you mean it, that more work will be done. How do you convince and then show them? M: Offer benchmarks. Its the best solution that you can
35、 provide because you are gonna say. Here is the proposal that I have and here is how were gonna measure the results because I know results are important to you and are important to me too, so maybe we are gonna have a conversation for 50 minutes every two weeks so that we understand how the flow of
36、communication is working, and if you are not happy or Im not happy, we have the ability to make changes along the way. W: Right. M: Flexibility is the key in terms of getting these special accommodations because I might say I wanna work from home every Friday. But you know what, if there is a pressi
37、ng business need, I will swap days. I will be here on that Friday, and so being flexible with this arrangement or this proposed change of schedule helps you get control of your life and keep the boss happy.
