Many executives have assumed that th
8、is tool is beyond their grasp, available only to the charismatic (有魅力的 )and the eloquent. Over the past several decades, though, experimental psychologists have learned which methods reliably lead people to concede, comply, or change. Their research shows that persuasion is governed by several princ
9、iples that can be taught and applied. The first principle is that people are more likely to follow someone who is similar to them than someone who is not. Wise managers, then, ask peers to help make their cases. Second, people are more willing to cooperate with those who are not only like them but w
10、ho like them, as well. So its worth the rune to uncover real similarities and offer genuine praise. Third, experiments confirm the intuitive truth that people tend to treat you the way you treat them. Its sound policy to do a favor before seeking one. Fourth, individuals are more likely to keep prom
11、ises they make voluntarily and clearly. The message for managers here is to get commitments in writing. Fifth, studies show that people really do defer to (服从 ) experts. So before they attempt to exert influence, executives should take pains to establish their own expertise and not assume that its s
12、elf-evident. Finally, people want more of a commodity when its scarce; it follows, then, that exclusive information is more persuasive than widely available data. 16 Experiments have confirmed the assumption of many executives. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 17 People are more likely to co
13、operate with those who like them. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 18 Managers do not employ those who are quite different from them. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 19 There is no need for a manager to find out the merits of his employees. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 2
14、0 Experiments have shown that, contrary to our expectation, people tend to treat you the way you treat them. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 21 There are as many wise managers as there are stupid ones. （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 22 Exclusive information is more persuasive than
15、 widely known data （ A） Right （ B） Wrong （ C） Not mentioned 三、 概括大意与完成句子 (第 23-30题，每题 1分，共 8分 ) 下面的短文后有 2项测试任务： (1)第 23-26题要求从所给的 6个选项中为第 2-5段每段选择一个最佳标题； (2)第 27-30题要求从所给的 6个选项中为每个句子确定一个最佳选项。 22 Is There a Way to Keep the Britains Economy Growing? 1.
