Passage Four
Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:
Women are more efficient and trustworthy, have a better understanding of their workforce and are more generous with their praise.In short they make the best managers, and if men are to keep up they will have to start learning form their female counterparts, a report claims today.
The survey of 1,000 male and female middle and senior managers from across the UK is an indictment of the ability of men to function as leaders in the modern workplace.
A majority of those questioned believed women had a more modern outlook on their profession and were more open minded and considerate.By way of contrast, a similar number believe male managers are egocentric and more likely to steal credit for work done by others.
Management today magazine, which conducted the research, said that after years of having to adopt a masculine identity and hide their emotions and natural behaviour in the workplace, women have become role models for managers.
The findings tally with a survey of female bosses carried out in the US. a five-year study of 2,500 managers from 450 firms found that many male bosses were rated by their staff of both sexes to be self-obsessed and autocratic.Women on the other hand leave men in the starting blocks when it comes to teamwork and communicating with staff.
In Britain more than 61% of those surveyed said men did not make better bosses than women.Female managers use time more effectively, with many of those surveyed commenting that juggling commitments is a familiar practice for women with a home and a family.Female managers also appear to make good financial sense for penny-pinching companies: most people, of either sex, would rather ask for a rise from a man.
16.What is the source of the data mentioned in the passage ?
A.A magazine B.A newspaper
C.A government white paper D.A university Journal
17.According to the passage,male manager tend to ________. A.be more selfless in teamwork
B.ask more questions when surveyed C.be considerate leaders in company D.claim the contribution
18.What can be found after comparing the findings in the UK and US ?
