"I believe we are going to continue to increase our share of the market,"he began, "because of the quality of the people in this room.

If he has ambitious goals and is willing to put in long hours, everyone in his unit will follow his example."(19) When Alex has finished, he received polite applause, but hardly the warm response he had hoped for. Later he spoke with one of the senior manager. "Things were going so well until the end"，Alex said disappointedly. "Obviously, I said the wrong thing.""Yes," the district manager replied. (18) "Half of our managers are women. Most have worked their way up from sales representatives, and they are very proud of the role they played in the company's growth.

Passage Two

The way to complain is to act business-like and important. (20) If your complaint is immediate, suppose you got the wrong order at a restaurant, make a polite but firm request to see the manager. When the manager comes, ask his or her name. And then state your problem and what you expect to have done about it. Be polite! Shouting or acting rude will get you nowhere. But also be firm in making your complaint. Besides, act important. This doesn't mean to put on airs and say "do you know who I am?" What it means is that people are often treated the way they expect to be treated. If you act like someone who expects a fair request to be granted, chances are it will be granted. (21) The worst way to complain is over the telephone- You are speaking to a voice coming from someone you cannot see. So you can't tell how the person on the line is reacting. It is easy for that person to give you the run-around. Complaining in person or by letter is generally more effective. If your complaint does not require an immediateresponse, it often helps to complain by letter. If youhave an appliance that doesn't work, send a letter to the store that sold it. (22) Be business-like and stick to the point. Don't spend a paragraph on how your uncle John tried to fix the problem and couldn't.

D)。詳解：短文在最后部分提到如何寫投訴信，指出投訴信要務實、切題,不要談論無關的內容，故D)為答案。

Passage Three
