问题     There are two basic differences between the large and the small enterprises. In the small enterprise you operate primarily through personal contacts. In the large enterprise you have established "policies", "channels" of organization, and fairly rigid procedures. In the small enterprise you have, moreover, immediate effectiveness in a very small area. You can see the effect of your work and of your decisions right away,once you are a little above the ground floor. In the large enterprise even the man at the top is only part of a big machine. To be sure,his actions affect a much greater area than the actions and decisions of the man in the small organization, but his effectiveness is remote, indirect, and difficult to see at first sight. In a small and even in a middle-sized business you are normally exposed to all kinds of experiences, and expected to do a great many things without too much help or guidance. In the large organization you are normally taught one thing thoroughly. In the small one the danger is of becoming a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. In the large one it is of becoming the man who knows more and more about less and less.
    There is one other important thing to consider : do you get a deep sense of satisfaction from being a member of a well-known organization—General Motors, the Bell Telephone System, the government? Or is it more important to you to be a well-known and important figure within your own small pond? There is a basic difference between the satisfaction that comes from being a member of a large, powerful, and generally known organization, and the one that comes from being a member of a family; between impersonal grandeur and personal often much too personal intimacy; between life in a small office on the top floor of a skyscraper and life in a crossroads gas station.
In the second paragraph, the writer mentions "your own small pond" to refer to______. (  )
选项 A、a top leader in a large enterprise
B、a manager of a small enterprise
C、a large enterprise
D、a small enterprise
答案D
解析 推理题。由“or”可推知，前后两句是转折。上一句说的是“awell—known organization”即一个大公司，那么“your own small pond”就是指一个小公司即“a small enterprise”。
