问题       The more women and minorities make their way into the ranks of management, the more they seem to want to talk about things formerly judged to be best left unsaid. The newcomers also tend to see office matters with a fresh eye, in the process sometimes coming up with critical analyses of the forces that shape everyone’s experience in the organization.
      Consider the novel views of Harvey Coleman of Atlanta on the subject of getting ahead.  Coleman is black. He spent 11 years with IBM, half of them working in management department, and now serves as a consultant to the likes of AT&T, Coca Cola, Prudential, and Merch. Coleman says that based on what he’s seen at big companies, he weighs the different elements that make for long term career success as follows: performance counts a mere 10%, image, 30%; and exposure, a full 60%.
      Coleman concludes that excellent job performance is so common these days that while doing your work well may win you pay increases, it won’t secure you the big promotion.
   He finds that advancement more often depends on how many people know you and your work, and how high up they are. Ridiculous beliefs.’? Not too many people, especially many women and members of minority races who, like Coleman, feel that the scales have dropped from their eyes.
      "Women and blacks in organizations work under false beliefs," says Kaleen Jamison, a New York-based management consultant who helps corporations deal with these issues. "They think that if you work hard, you’ll get ahead that someone in authority will reach down and give you a  promotion." She added, "Most women and blacks are so frightened that people will think they’ve gotten ahead because of their sex or colour that they play down their visibility." Her advice to those folks: learn the ways that white males have traditionally used to find their way into the spotlight.
To achieve success in your career, the most important factor, according to the passage, is to ______.
选项 A、let your superiors know how good you are
B、work as a consultant to your superiors
C、perform well your tasks given by your superiors
D、project a favourable image to the people around you
答案A
解析 在第二段，作者引用了科尔曼的观点，在他看来，人的成功百分之六十靠的是宣扬自己，他认为，能做好工作的人今天司空见惯，虽然做好工作可能提高工资，但是却不一定能带来实质性晋升，晋升更多地取决于：有多少人了解你，了解你的工作，了解你的人在公司里地位的高低。
