In the company in which I work, each of us is afraid of at least one person. The lower your    1is, the more people you are afraid of.   2all the people are afraid of the twelve men at the top who helped    3and build the company and now own and direct it.

    All these twelve men are elderly now and drained (耗尽) by time and success of energy and ambition. Many have spent their whole lives here. They seem friendly and    4when I come across them in the halls and always modest when they ride with others in the public lifts. They    5work hard. They hold meetings, make promotions, and allow their names to be used on announcements that are prepared and issued by somebody else. Nobody is sure who really runs the company, but the company does run.

In the    6course of a business day I am afraid of Jack Green because my department is part of his department and Jack Green is my boss; Green is afraid of me because most of the work in my department is done for the Sales Department, which is more important than his department.

    Green distrusts me sometimes. He makes    7clear to me every now and then that he wishes to see everything    8out of my department before it's shown to other departments. I know he doesn't really mean this. He is too busy with his own work to pay that much attention to all of mine, and I'll bypass (避开) him on most of our assignments rather than    9his time and delay their    10to people who have an immediate need for them.

1.A. position     B. pay            C. salary         D. office

2.A. And             B. But          C. So           D. Because

3.A. find         B. buy            C. set            D. found

4.A. strict       B. responsible  C. content      D. honest

5.A. no more      B. no longer    C. no less      D. no shorter

6.A. normal       B. familiar     C. easy         D. busy

7.A. that        B. him          C. this         D. it

8.A. coming       B. making     C. producing      D. inventing

9.A. use up      B. make up      C. take up      D. break up

10.A. production      B. delivery       C. value          D. time
