You Need Courage!
Shortly after I began a career in business,I learned that Carl Weatherup president of PepsiCo (百事可樂公司), was speaking at the University of Colorado. I tracked down the person handling his schedule and managed to get myself an appointment.46
So there I was sitting outside the university's auditorium, waiting for the president of PepsiCo. I could hear him talking to the students... and talking, and talking.47 He was now five minutes over, which dropped my time with him down to 10 minutes. Decision time.
I wrote a note on the back of my business card, reminding him that he had a meeting. “You have a meeting with Jeff Hoye at 2: 30 pm.” I took a deep breath, pushed open the doors of the auditorium and walked straight up the middle aisle (過道) toward him as he talked. Mr. Weatherup stopped. 48 Just before I reached the door, I heard him tell the group that he was running late. He thanked them for their attention, wished them luck and walked out to where I was now Sitting, holding my breath.
49 He spent the next 30 minutes offering me his time, some wonderful stories that I still use, and an invitation to visit him and his group in New York. But what he gave me that I value the most was the encouragement to continue to do as I had done. 50 When things need to happen, you either have the nerve to act or you don't.
A I began breathing again and we grabbed (霸占) an office right there at school and closed the door.
B As I sat listening to him, I knew that I could trust him, and that he deserved every bit of loyalty I could give to him.
C I became alarmed: his talk wasn't ending when it should have.
D He said that it took nerve for me to interrupt him, and that nerve was the key to success in the business world.
E I was told, however, that he was on a tight schedule and only had 15 minutes available after his talk to the business class.
F I handed him the card then I turned and walked out the way I came.
第五部分:
46 E文章的第一段談到,“我”得知百事公司的老總要在科羅拉多大學講學,就設法得到了約見他的機會。接下去應該是E,這是一個轉折,“我” 雖然得到了約見他的機會,但在他作完演講之后卻只有15分鐘的時間。所以,在第二段的開頭才會出現:“我”在大學禮堂外面等候的描述。E與前后連貫,所以是答案。
47 C第二段開頭描述“我”在禮堂外面等候的情況。第二個句子談到,“我”能聽到他給學生們講話,他講啊講……最后一個句子提到,他已經超過了五分鐘了。在第二句和最后一句之間應該是C,“我大為吃驚,他該停的時候沒停”。
48 F第三段講“我”在名片后面寫了個便條提醒他還有個約會,然后推開門,向他走去。接下去很自然應該是F,把名片遞給他。
49 A第四段談到,百事的老總看了看名片,又看了看我,……他笑了。他笑了,說明他同意和我談話,所以,接下去應該是A。
50 D第五段第二個句子談到,他所給“我”的也是“我”最珍視的,就是他鼓勵“我”繼續按照“我”做過的做法做。“我”作過的做法就是有膽量打斷一個總裁的演講,所以,接下去應該是D,是總裁對“我”所作鼓勵的具體內容。
