So he wrote to his brother, asking for 500. “Send the money by telegram,” he wrote, “to the Fisher Bank in P”After a week he began calling at the Fisher Bank.
30、 “Nothing has come for you,” he was told. As this went on, Mr. Frank got more and more worried. In the fifth week Mr. Frank was taken away by the policemen for failing to pay for the bill. He tried to explain the problem to them, but no one believed him. He was sent to prison for sixty days.When he
31、came out, he went immediately to the Fisher Bank. The clerk he spoke to was a new man. “Have you received 500 for me?” he asked, “My name is Jackson Frank.”The clerk checked his books. “Yes, Mr. Jackson.

36、 for being extremely busy. C is for the conscientious （勤恳的）way you do your job. You may be all these things at the office, and more. But when it comes to getting ahead, experts say, the ABCs of business should include a P, for politics, as in office politics. Dale Carnegie suggested as much more tha
37、n 50 years ago: Hard work alone doesnt make career （事业）advance. You have to be able to sell yourself and your ideas, both publicly and behind the scenes. Yet, despite the obvious rewards of being good at office politicsa better job, a raise, praisemany people are still unable or unwilling to “play t
38、he game. ”“Some people feel that office politics means some manipulative （工于心计的）behavior, ”says Deborah Comer, an assistant professor of management at Hofstra University. “But politics comes from the word polite. It can mean being kind and helpful, or even trying to please your boss, and then expect
39、ing something in return. ”In fact, today, experts define office politics as proper behavior used to gain ones own interest in the workplace. In many cases, this includes some form of socializing within the office environment-not just in large companies, but in small workplaces as well. “The first th
40、ing people are usually judged on is their ability to perform well on a consistent basis, ”says Neil P. Lewis, a management psychologist. “But if two or three people are up for a promotion （提升） ，each of whom has similar ability, a manager is going to promote the person he or she likes best. Its simpl
41、e human nature. ”Yet, psychologists say, many employees and employers have trouble with the politics in the office. Some people, they say, have an idealistic vision of work and what it takes to succeed. Still others mistake politics for flattery （奉承） , fearful that, if they speak up for themselves,
42、they may appear to the flattering their boss for favor. Experts suggest changing this negative picture by recognizing the need for some self-promotion. 68.

45、f human nature B. self-promotion does not necessarily mean flattery C. hard work has very little to do with ones promotion D. many employees fail to recognize the need of flattery EWhether we find a joke funny or not largely depends on where we have been brought up. The sense of humour is mysterious
46、ly connected with national characteristics. A Frenchman, for instance, might find it hard to laugh at a Russian joke. In the same way, a Russian might fail to see anything amusing （make sb. laugh or smile）in a joke which would make an Englishman laugh to tears. Most funny stories are based on comic
47、situations. In spite of national differences, certain funny situations have a worldwide request. No matter where you live, you would find it difficult not to laugh at, say, Charlie Chaplins early films. However, a new type of humour, which stems largely from America, has recently come into fashion.
48、It is called “sick humour”. Comedians base their jokes on tragic situations like violent （cause by force）death or serious accidents, Many people find this sort of joke distasteful. The following example of “sick hamour” will enable you to judge for yourself. A man who had broken his right leg was taken to hospital a few weeks bef
