How to Argue with your Boss

1.Before you argue with your boss, check with the boss’s secretary to determine his mood. If he ate nails for breakfast, it is not a good idea to ask him for something. Even without the boss’s secretary, there are keys to timing: don’t approach the boss when he’s on deadline’ ; don’t go in right before lunch, when he is apt to be distracted and rushed; don’t go in just before or after he has taken a vacation.

2.If you’re mad, that will only make your boss mad. Calm down first. And don’t let a particular concern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration. The boss will feel that you think negatively about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind. Then , maybe he will dismiss you.

3.Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss. Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear. The employee has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understand it.

4.Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more. If you can’t put forward an immediate solution, at least suggest how to approach the problem . People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they can’t get past the secretary.

5.To deal effectively with a boss, it’s important to consider his goals and pressures. If you can put yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss, then he will be naturally more inclined to work you to achieve your goals.

参考答案：                                                                              

1． D。 分析：该段落中没有明显的特征词/短语重复出现，所以注意对特殊位置的句子句意进行分析：段落第一句在讲述具体情况，不是观点句， 段落第2句是祈使句，反映了作者的态度， 是观点句。而且段落最后一句说“然后， 他（老板）将可能解雇你。”， 结合这两句话的内容判断答案为D（当你生气的时候不要走进去）。

2． E。 分析：段落中近义结构（“the issues are made clear（观点被清楚地表达）”和“get his point across clearly（使他的观点被清楚地理解）”）的反复出现直接暗示段落中心是E（把问题表达清楚）。

3．C． 分析：段落中solution的重复出现，和段落第2句的内容（祈使句， 揭示作者态度）共同揭示C（提出你的建议）是答案。

4． B。分析：根据段首句是观点句（为了有效地与老板打交道， 考虑到他的目标和压力是很重要的。），借助该句句意直接确认答案B（把你自己放在老板的位置上）。

5． B．分析：find out后需要跟宾语，而B，D，F都可以作宾语成分，在借助搭配句意判断答案是B。也可以借助原文中的相关句确认答案：Before you argue with your boss, check with the boss’s secretary to determine his mood.

6． D．分析：make clear（把。。表述清楚）后需要跟宾语，而D，F都可以作宾语成分，借助搭配句意选择答案D（你真正想对他谈什么）。

7． E． 分析：根据搭配句意（给老板提出问题...是不明智的。）和对文章大意的理解选择E（不建议解决它（这个问题）的方法）。

8． C.分析：根据搭配句意（你必须考虑周全， 考虑到..麻烦）选择C（老板可能遇到的）。
