18、RT FIVE Read the article below about a book. For each question 23-28, choose the cornect answer. Mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet. The Bosses Speak John Stuart is an executive recruitment specialist who has turned to writing. The result is this book, based on interviews with twenty C

19、hief Executives. Each top manager-none of them famous names, surprisingly-is given a short chapter, and there is some introductory material and a conclusion. This means you can jump from one person to another, in any order, which is good for people who are too busy to read a book form cover to cover

20、. For a management book it isn't expensive, although whether it's good value for money is doubtful. Some of the twenty interviewees started their own businesses, while others joined a company and fairly new in their position, and others have had years of experience, though, strangely, Stuart

21、 doesn't seem interested in these differences. The interviewees work in everything, from retailing to airlines to software, and it is this variety that forms the main theme of Stuart's book. I have to say that Stuart's approach annoys me. He rarely stays at a *e from his interviewees, wh

22、o are mostly presented in their own, positive words. If this were always the case, at least you would know where you were. But he seems to dislike certain interviewees. As a result, I don't know whether to accept any of his opinions. It also means that the book gives no clear lessons. At the ver

23、y least, I expected to learn what makes a successful Chief Executive. But these people seem to share two types of qualities. Some of them are *mon, suggesting that anyone can be equally successful, which is definitely not the case. And the other qualities are ones which most successful bosses I'

24、ve seen definitely do not have. So in the end I'm no wiser about what really goes on. Perhaps I'm being unfair. As long as you don't think about whether you'd like them as friends, and pay no attention to most of the advice they give, the most readable parts are where the bosses desc

25、rible their route to their present position. Stuart seems to think that his book would be useful for people aiming for the top, and that it might even make a few want to start their *pany; but, in fact, what they could learn here is very limited Seen as light business reading for a doctor or teacher

26、, though, this book would provide some good entertainment.23. Reading the book made the reviewer think that _. A. there are certain qualities which all Chief Excutives need. B. it is difficult to discover how people really run a company. C. running a company is easier than many people think.24. The

27、reviewer recommends the book for people who _.A. A. intend to set up in business. B. B. want to become senior managers. C. C. are outside the field of business. 25. The reviewer suggests that one advantage of the book is that _ .A. it is better value than other management books.B. it does not need t

28、o be read right through.C. it is about well-known people.26. The reviewer cannot accept Stuart's opinions because Stuart _. A. makes *plaints about the interviewees. B. writes too positively about the interviewees. C. has different attitudes towards different interviewees.27. The book concentrat

29、es on the fact that the twenty executives who are interviewed _. A. work in a number of different in dustries. B. strated *panies. C. have worked for different lengths of time.28. Which parts of the book did the reviewer most enjoy reading? A. how the interviewees beacme Chief Executives B. what sor

30、t of people the interviewees are C. the advice given by the intervieweesPART SIX Read the article *mercial bank. Choose the correct word to fill each gap.
