阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中选出最佳选项。

  In your surroundings, nearly every person has his or her own way of doing things.Some people are outgoing, some enjoy keeping to themselves and others prefer a little of both.In fact, we can classify people into four basic personality types or behavioral styles.

  Look around your office and see if you can see any of these people.We'll call the first person Dave.Dave likes immediate results and tends not to listen to details before making decisions.He acts quickly and often cuts people off mid-sentence.Then there's Stan.Stan is very predictable and patient.He's loyal to the organization and listens attentively.Or how about Ingrid? Ingrid is optimistic and looks for the best in everyone.She enjoys conversations, networking events and spreading her influence.She has recently bought a fitness center.She discovered that when the center is empty, she goes crazy.She likes to have people around her all of the time and can't stand the quiet of the afternoon.Finally, we have Catherine.Catherine is interested in accuracy and details.She enjoys working alone and prefers to use diplomacy(外交)to solve conflicts rather than action.

  Each of them demonstrates one of the four primary behavioral styles.These are dominance(支配型), influence, steadiness and conscientiousness(思维清醒型).Dominant people are direct and decisive; they like accepting challenges, taking action, and getting immediate results.Influential people are optimistic and outgoing; they prefer to participate in teams, share ideas, and entertain others.Steady people are sympathetic and cooperative; they like working behind the scenes and being good listeners.Conscientious people are concerned and correct; they like planning ahead, employing systematic approaches and checking and re-checking for accuracy.

  Let's take Dave for example.He fits into the Dominance behavioral style.Dave likes to make quick decisions and solve problems, but he sometimes has trouble understanding that people need people and, as such, finds it hard to identify with the group.We need people like Dave because he moves things forward.To be most effective, Dave needs people who can handle the details he often ignores.

  So which personality style is the best? Which is most effective? The answer is that each of us is effective in dealing with different people, problems, situations and careers; we each have our own style.

(1)

Who fits into the Steadiness behavioral style?

[  ]

A.

Dave

B.

Stan

ignore.

[  ]

(3)

If a person often encourages you to open up and communicate, he/she most probably fits into ________.

[  ]

A.

the Dominance behavioral style

B.

the Influence behavioral style

  One of Britain's bravest women told yesterday how she helped to catch suspected(可疑的)police killer David Bieber-and was thanked with flowers by the police.It was also said that she could be in line for a share of up to £30,000 reward money.

  Vicki Brown, 30, played a very important role in ending the nationwide manhunt.Vicki, who has worked at the Royal Hotel for four years, told of her terrible experience when she had to steal into Bieber's bedroom and to watch him secretly.Then she waited alone for three hours while armed police prepared to storm the building.

  She said,” I was very nervous.But when I opened the hotel door and saw 20 armed policemen lined up in the car park I was so glad they were there.”

  The alarm had been raised because Vicki became suspicious(怀疑)of the guest who checked in at 3 pm the day before New Year's Eve with little luggage and wearing sunglasses and a hat pulled down over his face.She said, He didn't seem to want to talk too much and make any eye contact(接触).Vicki, the only employee on duty, called her bosses Margaret, 64, and husband Stan McKale, 65, who phoned the police at 11 pm.Officers from Northumbria Police called Vicki at the hotel in Dunston, Gateshead, at about 11∶30 pm to make sure that this was the wanted man.Then they kept in touch by phoning Vicki every 15 minutes.

  “It was about ten past two in the morning when the phone went again and a policeman said ‘Would you go and make yourself known to the armed officers outside?' My heart missed a beat.”

  Vicki quietly showed eight armed officers through passages and staircases to the top floor room and handed over the key.

  “I realized that my bedroom window overlooks that part of the hotel, so I went to watch.I could not see into the man's room, but I could see the passage.The police kept shouting at the man to come out with his hands showing.Then suddenly he must have come out because they shouted for him to lie down while he was handcuffed(带上手铐).”
