Mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet. The Bosses Speak Adam Rogers is an executive recruitment special

19、ist who has turned to writing. The result is this book, based on interviews with twenty Chief Executives. Each top manager - none of them famous names, surprisingly - is .given a short chapter, and there is some introductory material and a conclusion. This means you can jump from one person to anoth

20、er, in any order, which is good for people who are too busy to read a book from cover to cover. For a management book it isnt expensive, although whether its good value for money is doubtful. Some of the twenty interviewees started their own businesses, while others joined a company and worked their

21、 way up. Some are fairly new in their position, and others have had years of experience, though, strangely, Rogers doesnt seem interested in these differences. The interviewees work in everything, from retailing to airlines to software, and it is this variety that forms the main theme of Rogerss boo

22、k. I have to say that Rogerss approach annoys me. He rarely stays at a distance from his interviewees, who are mostly presented in their own, positive words. If this were always the case, at least you would know where you were. But he seems to dislike certain interviewees. As a result, I dont know w

23、hether to accept any of his opinions. It also means that the book gives no clear lessons. At the very least, I expected to learn what makes a successful Chief Executive. But these people seem to share two types of qualities. Some of them are very common, suggesting that anyone can be equally success

24、ful, which is definitely not the ease. And the other qualities are ones which most successful bosses Ive seen definitely do not have. So in the end Im no wiser about what really goes on. Perhaps Im being unfair. As long as you dont think about whether youd like them as friends, and pay no attention

25、to most of the advice they give, the most readable parts are where the bosses describe their route to their present position. Rogers seems to think that his book would be useful for people aiming for the top, and that it might even make a few want to start their own company; but, in fact, what they

26、could learn here is very limited. Seen as light business reading for a doctor or teacher, though, this book would provide some good entertainment. 23 The reviewer suggests that one advantage of the book is that （ A） it is better value than other management books. （ B） it does not need to be read rig

27、ht through. （ C） it is about well-known people. 24 The book concentrates on the fact that the twenty executives who are interviewed （ A） work in a number of different industries. （ B） started their companies. （ C） have worked for different lengths of time. 25 The reviewer cannot accept Rogerss opini

28、ons because Rogers （ A） makes unreasonable complaints about the interviewees. （ B） writes too positively about the interviewees. （ C） has different attitudes towards different interviewees. 26 Reading the book made the reviewer think that （ A） there are certain qualities which all Chief Executives n

29、eed. （ B） it is difficult to discover how people really run a company. （ C） running a company is easier than many people think. 27 Which parts of the book did the reviewer most enjoy reading? （ A） How the interviewees became Chief Executives. （ B） What sort of people the interviewees are. （ C） The a

30、dvice given by tile interviewees. 28 The reviewer recommends the book for people who （ A） intend to set up in business. （ B） want to become senior managers. （ C） are outside the field of business. 六、 PART SIX 28 Questions 29-40 Read the article below about team-building. Choose the correct word to f

31、ill each gap from A, B or C. For each question (29-40), mark one letter (A, B or C).
