     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.

     Consider the novel views 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.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 to 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 and 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 color

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.

单项选择题

阅读下面短文,回答下 * * 道题。

加拿大某公司建造了一座示范厂,用酒精而不是用硫磺造纸浆。该公司董事长佩蒂说:

“这是未来之路。用酒精制造纸浆意味着出现一种清洁、无污染的技术。”

如果在小规模工业里取得成功的这项技术也能在正式规模的工厂里生产出较便宜的纸浆,它将对纸价产生影响,这项技术还能消除造纸工业常有的臭鸡蛋味______硫化氢的气味。

该公司使用的这种工艺叫ALCELL(即酒精ALCOHOL和纤维素CELLULOSE的合成词),它使用酒精和水代替硫磺把木材分解成纸浆。这种工艺是加拿大在1972年发明的,以前从来没有实现商品化,但是这家公司希望它能使造纸工业发生彻底变革。

佩蒂说:“建造一座新的纸浆厂要耗资10亿美元,而且它要求木材供应源源不断。如有 ALCELL工艺,只要耗资3.5亿美元就能建造一个工厂,并使工厂不停地运转,所需木材供应量较小。”他又说:“那意味着一个工厂一天生产350吨而不是1 000吨纸浆。”林业产品分析家邓肯森说:“从环境方面来说,它比较清洁,而且小型厂这个概念将会使建造新纸浆厂变得较容易。”这种工艺取得成功,它将能以较低的成本生产纸浆。

下列说法,不符合原文意思的一项是()。

A.造纸工业通常会产生难闻的臭鸡蛋味______硫化氢的气味,这是因为在制造纸浆的过程中使用了硫硝

B.运用ALCELL工艺制造纸浆,使用酒精和水而不使用硫磺,因而避免了难闻的臭鸡蛋味______硫化氢的气味的产生

C.ALCELL工艺的一个突出的特点,是使用酒精和水而不是使用硫磺把木材分解成纸浆,所以不会产生难闻的硫化氢的气味

D.造纸工业通常以硫磺而不是以酒精和水为主要原料来制造纸浆,因而很难避免难闻的硫化氢的气味的产生
