　　阅读下列短文，根据短文，在每个答题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案，并填入题后括号内。（本大题共5小题，每小题3分，共15分）

　　Passage One

　　Managers face problems constantly. Some problems that require a decision are relatively simple； others seem overwhelming. Some demand immediate action， while others take months or even years to unfold.

　　Actually， managers often ignore problems. For several reasons， they avoid taking action. First， managers can't be sure how much time， energy， or trouble lies ahead once they start working on a problem. Second， getting involved is risky； tackling a problem but failing to solve it successfully can hurt the manager's track record. Third， because problems can be so perplexing， it is easier to procrastinate or to get busy with less demanding activities.

　　There are several characteristics of managerial decisions that contribute to their difficulty and pressure， such as lack of structure， involvement of risk， uncertainty， and conflict.

　　Well-structured problems have objectively correct answers； they can be solved by using simple rules or numerical computations. But managers typically face ill-structured problems——problems with no proven answers， at least not until some time in the future. Such problems may have a number of possible solutions， all of which have merits and drawbacks.

　　26. Managers often ignore problems because of the following except that （　　　）

　　A. failure in solving problems can hurt their track record.

　　B. they are afraid of losing control.

　　C. it is easier to put off the problem than to solve it.

　　D. It is easier to engage in less demanding activities than to solve problems.

　　27. What does the word procrastinate in the 2nd paragraph mean ？ （　　　）

　　A. Delay. B. Determine.

　　C. Research. D. Tackle.

　　28. The following add to managers' decision making difficulty except （　　　）

　　A. risk involved.

　　B. well-structured problems.

　　C. uncertainty due to lack of relevant information.

　　D. confrontation between management and labor.

　　29. Which of the following is NOT true of the well-structured problems？（　　　）

　　A. They have the answers proven correct objectively.

　　B. They can be easily dealt with by managers using relevant rules.

　　C. They may have a number of possible solution with merits and demerits.

　　D. They can be solved by using numerical computation.

　　30. The word typically in the last paragraph is closest in meaning to（　　　）

　　A. as often as not.  B. symbolically.

　　C. cheerfully.  D. excitedly.
