问题 单项选择题

彼得原理:是美国学者劳伦斯·彼得在对组织中人员晋升的相关现象研究后得出的一个结论,即在各种组织中,由于习惯于对在某个等级上称职的人员进行晋升提拔,因而雇员总是趋向于晋升到其不称职的地位。彼得原理有时也被称为“向上爬”原理。
下列现象中符合彼得原理的是______。

A.张教授的课很受大家欢迎,最近被提升为校长,从此他忙得焦头烂额
B.作为优秀的体操运动员的他,退役后被国家体操队聘为教练,工作很快得到大家的认可
C.小王一直是公司的营销人员,业绩很好,最近被提升为业务主管
D.小李因其舅舅是公司的总经理,很快就被提升到了管理阶层,他干得很吃力

答案

参考答案:A

解析: 彼得原理的要点是:①对某个等级上称职的人进行晋升提拔;②雇员趋向晋升到其不称职的地位。B项只提到工作的聘用,C项提到晋升但没有不称职的表现。D项并不是由于在某个等级上称职而被提拔。A项中张教授原来受欢迎,但晋升为校长后忙得焦头烂额,是不称职的表现,因此A是正确答案。

单项选择题

When I lived in Spain, some Spanish friends of mine decided to visit England by car. Before they left, they asked me for advice about how to find accommodation. I suggested that they should stay at "bed and breakfast" houses, because this kind of accommodation gives a foreign visitor a good chance to speak English with the family. My friends listened to my advice, but they came back with some funny stories.
"We didn’t stay at bed and breakfast houses," they said, "because we found that most families were away on holiday. "
I thought this was strange. Finally I understood what had happened. My friends spoke little English, and they thought "VACANCIES" meant "holidays", because the Spanish word for "holiday" is "vacation". So they did not go to house where the sign outside said "VACANCIES", which in English means there are free rooms. Then my friends went to house where the sign said " NO VACANCIES", because they thought this meant the people who owned the house were not away on holiday. But they found that these houses were all full. As a result, they stayed at hotels!
We laughed about this and about mistakes my friends made in reading other signs. In Spanish, the word "DIVERSION" means fun. In English, it means that workmen are repairing the road, and that you must take a different road. When my friends saw the word "DIVERSION" on a road sign, they thought they were going to have fun. Instead, the road is blocked by a crowd.
English people have problems too when they learn foreign languages. Once in Paris when someone offered me some more coffee, I said "Thank you" in French. I meant that I would like some more. However, to my surprise the coffee pot was taken away! Later I found out that "Thank you" in French means "No, thank you".

When someone offered me more coffee and I said " Thank you" in French, I ______.

A.didn’t really want any more coffee
B.wanted them to take the coffee pot away
C.really wanted some more coffee
D.wanted to express my politeness
