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 view 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 development, and now serves as a consultant to the likes of AT&T, Coca-Cola, and Merth. 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 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 they are.
    Ridiculous beliefs? Not to many people, especially many women and members of minority races who, like Coleman, feel the scales (障眼物) have dropped from their eyes. "Women and blacks in organizations work under false beliefs," says Kaleel 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 adds. "Most women and blacks are so frightened that people will think they’ve gotten ahead because of their sex or color that they play down (使…不突出) 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、project a favorable image to the people around you
C、work as a consultant to your superiors
D、perform well your tasks given by your superiors
答案A
解析 此题问：为了在职业生涯中获得成功，在文中看来，最重要的因素是什么?文章第二段提到了这方面的内容。“Coleman认为，导致成功的要素的比重是：实绩仅占10%，形象占 30%，自我表现占60%……升职往往依赖于有多少人了解你和你的工作情况以及这些人的职位如何。”在第三段，作者认为这种想法并不荒唐，他是赞同这个想法的，因此A为正确答案，即在本文看来，要想在职业生涯中获得成功，最重要的因素是让你的上级了解你是如何出色。
