In business, people have to deal in person with all kinds of people. When talking to people within your company who don't speak your language, you may have to use English; these people may be colleagues or co-workers – who may work with you in your own department, in another part of the building or in another branch. And you may also have to deal with people from outside the organization: clients, suppliers, visitors and members of the public. Moreover, these people may be friends or strangers – people of your own age, or people who are younger or older than you.

The relationship you have with a person determines the kind of language you use. For example, it's not appropriate to say 'Hi, how are you!' when meeting the Managing Director of a large company or to say'Good morning, it's a great pleasure to meet you'when being introduced to a person you'll be working closely with in the same team.

People usually form. an impression of you from the way you speak and behave – not just from the way you do your work. People in different countries have different ideas of what sounds friendly, polite or sincere – and of what sounds rude or unfriendly! Good manners in your culture may be considered bad manners in another. Sometimes your body language, gestures and expressions may tell people more about you than the words you use.

Are you one of those people who doesn’t trust anyone else to do what needs to be done？ Some managers they can’t bear anyone else to help them in any way. They

34. don't believe that anyone can do such a job as well as they can. It is not surprising

35. that they then get overwhelmed by work and complain that they have far too much

36. to do, but it could be argued that it is by their own fault. If they learnt to delegate,

37. they would have much more time available. Besides the saving time and freeing

38. them to concentrate on tasks that are important, delegating also benefits to the

39. company. If managers delegate effectively, their staff will become more skilled and

40. committed. Asking staff to make the decisions improves their efficiency and morale.

41. This will contribute itself not only to the success of the team, but to the success of

42. the company as a whole. More importantly, it will also show how good a person's

43. managerial skills are, which is useful when those candidates are considered for

44. the promotion. Trusting other people to do a job properly and providing them with the

45. opportunity to do so well is therefore an essential management skill in the workplace of today.

ve of the people in the business determine its success. The Personnel or Human Resource Management departments exist to select, train, and organize the employees according to the needs of each department. If a business fails to achieve the best from its employees (who include everyone who works in the business from workforce to managers and directors) then the performance of the business may suffer.

As a business grows, the managers become more involved in the day-to-day running of the business and sometimes the longer-term perspective is ignored. The directors are responsible for considering the long-term objectives of the business and for ensuring that resources are organized carefully so that long-term objectives are achieved. Directors are also responsible for reporting to shareholders in company reports, and it is the directors, not the managers, who bear the brunt of shareholders' scorn when profits are down, as well as receiving shareholders' praise when profits are up. Ironically, although directors are not known as managers, their whole job is about management!

to get a man, and women who went to college were more interested in getting a "Mrs.degree" than a bachelor's. Even today, it's not unusual for a woman to get whispered and unrequested counsel from her grandmother that an advanced degree could hurt her in the marriage market.

"There were so many misperceptions out there about education and marriage that I decided to sort out the facts," said economist Betsey Stevenson, an assistant professor at the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania. So along with Wharton colleague Adam Isen, Stevenson calculated national marriage data from 1950 to 2008 and found that the marriage penalty women once paid for being well educated has largely disappeared.

"In other words, the difference in marriage rates between those with college degrees and those without is very small," said Stephanie Coontz, a family historian at Evergreen State College. The new analysis also found that while high-school dropouts(辍学学生) had the highest marriage rates in the 1950s, today college-educated women are much more likely to marry than those who don't finish high school.

Of course, expectations have changed dramatically in the last half century. "In the 1950s, a lot of women thought they needed to marry right away," Coontz said. "Real wages were rising so quickly that men in their 20s could afford to marry early. But they didn't want a woman who was their equal. Men needed and wanted someone who knew less." In fact, she said, research published in 1946 documented that 40 percent of college women admitted to playing dumb on dates. "These days, few women feel the need to play down their intelligence or achievements," Coontz said.

The new research has more good news for college grads. Stevenson said the data indicate that modern college-educated women are more likely to be married before age 40, are less likely to divorce, and are more likely to describe their marriages as "happy". The marriages of well-educated women tend to be more stable because the brides are usually older as well as wiser, Stevenson said.

A．find a husband

B．get smart in the marriage market

C．learn to be a good wife

D．marry someone with a bachelor's degree

A.llocated
