问题     The more women and minorities make their way into the ranks of management the more they seem to want to talk about things formerly judged to be best left unsaid. The newcomers also tend to see office matters with a fresh eye. In the process sometimes coming up with critical analyses of the forces that shape everyone experience in the organization.
    Consider the novel views of Harvey Coleman of Atlanta on the subject of getting ahead. Cole man is black. He spent 11 years with IBM; half of them working in management development, and now serves as a consultant, to the likes of AT & Coca-Cola. Prudential and Merch Coleman says that based on what he’ s seen at big companies, he weighs the different elements that make for long-term career success as follows: performance counts a mere 10%; image 30%; and exposure, a full 60%.
    Coleman concludes that excellent job performance is so common these days that while doing your work well may win you pay increases, it won’ t secure you the big promotion. He finds that advancement more often depends on how many people know you and your work, and how high up they are.
    Ridiculous beliefs? Not to many people, especially many women and members of minority races who like Coleman feel that the scales have dropped from their eyes. "Women and blacks in organizations work under false beliefs," says Kaleel Jamison, a New York-based management consultant who helps corporations deal with these issues. "They think that if you work hard, you’ll get a head--that someone in authority will reach down and give you a promotion." She adds, "Most women and blacks are so frightened that people will think they’ ye gotten ahead because of their sex or color that they play down their visibility." Her advice to those folks: learn the ways that white males have traditionally used to find their way into the spotlight.
The author is of the opinion that Coleman’ s beliefs are ______.
选项 A、biased
B、popular
C、insightful
D、superficial
答案B
解析 作者在第三段阐述了Coleman的观点后，在第四段紧接着说to many people it’s not ridiculous，表明他的观点为人们普遍接受，选项B正确。
