问题 People are indulging in an illusion whenever they find themselves explaining at a cocktail(鸡尾酒)party,say,that the are“in computers,”or“in telecommunications,”or“in electronic funds transfer”.The implication is that they are part of the high—tech world.Just between US,they usually aren’t.The researchers who made fundamental breakthroughs in those areas are in a high—tech business.The rest of us are  (71)  of their work.We use computers and other new technology components to develop our products or to organize our affairs.Because we go about this work in teams and projects and other tightly knit working group(紧密联系在一起的工作小组),we are mostly in the human communication business.Our successes stem from good human interactions by all participants in the effort,and our failures stem from poor human interactions.
  The main reason we tend to focus on the (72)  rather than the human side of the work is not because it’s more (73),but because it’s easier to do.Getting the new disk drive installed is positively trivial compared to figuring out why Horace is in a blue funk(恐惧)or why Susan is dissatisfied with the company after only a few months.Human interactions are complicated and never very crisp(干脆的,干净利落的)and clean in their effects,but they matter more than any other aspect of the work.
    If you find yourself concentrating on the (74)  rather than the  (75)  .you’re like the vaudeville character(杂耍人物)who loses his keys on a dark street and looks for them on the adjacent street because,as he explains,“The light is better there!”

选项 A、creators
B、innovators
C、appliers
D、inventors

答案C

解析 不论什么时候,当人们在鸡尾酒会上夸夸其谈“计算机”、“电子通信”、“电子转账”时总会沉迷于幻想之中。这些的言外之意就是想说他们是世界上高端科技的一部分。而在我们这些人中间,却往往不那么做。那些在基础研究上有突破的研究者们在之前说的那些领域里是属于高端科技的一部分,剩下的我们只是在应用他们的工作成果。我们使用计算机和一些新科技组件来开发我们的产品或完成我们的一些事情。因为我们以团队、项目和其它紧密联系在一起工作的一些小组的方式来完成工作,我们几乎离不开人类的沟通交流。我们的成功是来自所有参与者的不懈努力和良好合作,而失败则是因为薄弱的互动合作能力。
    我们更加注重在技术而不是与人打交道的工作上的主要原因不是因为技术更加重要,而是因为它更简单。将新的磁盘驱动安装上去远比弄清楚Horace为什么处于恐惧中或Susan为什么才工作几个月就不喜欢这个公司的原因更简单。人类的互动合作是非常复杂的,并且永远都是拖泥带水,这些工作比任何其它方面的工作更重要。
如果你发现自己专注在技术而不是社交,那么你就像是个在黑暗的街道丢失钥匙后却借以另一条街道灯光更亮而在那个街道寻找钥匙的杂耍人物。
