Question

In the company in which I work, each of us is afraid of at least one person. The lower your __36__is, the more people you are afraid of. __37__all the people are afraid of the twelve men at the top who helped __38__ and build the company and now own and __39__ it.

All these twelve men are __40__now and drained(耗尽) by time and success of energy and ambition. Many have __41__ their whole lives here. They seem friendly, slow and __42__ when I come up to them in the halls and always courteous(谦恭的) when they__43__with others in the public lifts. They __44__ work hard. They hold meetings, make promotions, and allow their __45__ to be used on announcements that are prepared and issued by somebody else. Nobody is sure __46__really runs the company, but the company does run.

In the __47__ course of a business day I am afraid of Jack Green because my department is part of his department and Jack Green is my__48__; Green is afraid of me because most of my work in the department is done for the Sales Department, which is more __49__ than his department.

Green distrusts me sometimes. He makes __50__ clear to me every now and then that he wishes to see everything __51__ in my department before it’s shown to other departments. I know he doesn’t really mean this. He is __52__ 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 __53__ his time and delay their __54__ to people who have an immediate __55__ for them.
