My boss needs my ______ on that paper.A. markB. signatureC. acceptationD. refuse

45How to Disagree with Someone More Powerful than You Your boss proposes a new initiative you think won' t work. Your senior colleague outlines a project timeline you think is unrealistic. What do you say when you disagree with someone who has more power than you do? How do you decide whether it’s worth speaking up? And if you do, what exactly should you say? Here’s how to disagree with someone more powerful than you. You may decide it' s best to hold off on voicing your opinion. Maybe you haven' t finished thinking the problem through, the whole discussion was a surprise to you, or you want to get a clearer sense of what the group thinks. If you think other people are going to disagree too, you might want to gather your army first. People can contribute experience or information to your thinking---all the things that would make the disagreement stronger or more valid. It’s also a good idea to delay the conversation if you' re in a meeting or other public space. Discussing the issue in private will make the powerful person feel less threatened. Before you share your thoughts, think about what the powerful person cares about---it may be “the credibility of their team or getting a project done on time. You’re more likely to be heard if you can connect your disagreement to a higher purpose. When you do speak up, don' t assume the link will be clear. You'll want to state it overtly, contextualizing your statements so that you' re seen not as a disagreeable underling but as a colleague who' s trying to advance a shared goal. The discussion will then become more like a chess game than a boxing match. This step may sound overly deferential, but it' s a smart way to give the powerful person psychological safety and control. You can say something like, "I know we seem to be moving toward a first-quarter commitment here. I have reasons to think that won' t work. I' d like to lay out my reasoning. Would that be OK?" This gives the person a choice, allowing them to verbally opt in. And, assuming they say yes, it will make you feel more confident about voicing your disagreement. You might feel your heart racing or your face turning red, but do whatever you can to remain neutral in both your words and actions. When your body language communicates reluctance or anxiety, it undercuts the message. It sends a mixed message, and your counterpart gets to choose what to read. Deep breaths can help, as can speaking more slowly and deliberately. When we feel panicky we tend to talk louder and faster. Simply slowing the pace and talking in an even tone helps the other person calm down and does the same for you. It also makes you seem confident, even if you aren’t. Emphasize that you' re offering your opinion, not gospel truth. It may be a well-informed, well-researched opinion, but it’s still an opinion, my talk tentatively and slightly understate your confidence. Instead of saying something like, " If we set an end-of-quarter deadline, we’ll never make it," say, "This is just my opinion, but I don' t see how we will make that deadline." Having asserted your position (as a position, not as a fact) demonstrate equal curiosity about other views. Remind the person that this is your point of view, and then invite critique. Be open to hearing other opinions.A、Stay calmB、Stay humbleC、Don’t make judgmentsD、Be realistic about the risksE、Decide whether to waitF、Ask permission to disagreeG、Identify a shared goal

Few ideas from social science have dug their way into the public imagination like Dunbar's Number, the famous finding that we humans can't cope with a social circle much larger than 150 people. It's little surprise that this idea has proven captivating because it seems so true in wildly different contexts. The average size of modern hunter-gatherer communities, it's been calculated, is 148. The average size of army companies through history, from the Romans to the USSR, hovers around And the average number of people to whom Britons send Christmas cards, according to a 2003 study, is 153. No wonder so many panic-merchants worry that online social networks will destroy society. To accumulate 1,000 online social network friends, Dunbar's Number suggests, is to violate a law as old as humanity itself. The good news is that, judging by research, the panic merchants are wrong: social networks don't replace offline friendships, turning users into people unable to converse face-to-face. Nonetheless, Dunbar's work does suggest something troubling about modern friendship. For centuries – and especially since the Industrial Revolution – we've been uprooting ourselves from the communities in which we were born. Until recently, on arriving in a new place, you'd inevitably lose your ties with the one you'd left; you'd be forced to invest fully in a new social circle. These days, however, thanks to motorways and airliners, e-mail and online social apps, you need never cut those ties. You never leave your old life behind, so your emotional investments are scattered. One consequence is that the people in your circle of 150 are far less likely to know each other. Or, as Dunbar writes, "Our social networks are no longer as densely interconnected as they once were." Anyone who's ever fled small-town life might feel relieved in some way. After all, "dense interconnectedness" in small villages could mean that there are always people who are snooping (窥探)on your business. Yet it turns out that when close friends know each other, good things happen. For example, Dunbar's research shows that people are more altruistic (利他主义的)towards each other in dense social networks. Why are densely-linked friends better friends? The reason may be that in a dense network an act of friendship is two things at once: an expression of an individual bond, and another stitch in a bigger social fabric. Now you've got a good reason to introduce your friends to each other. True, they'll probably gossip about you at some point, but then that strengthens the social fabric, too. 1)According to the passage, Dunbar's Number is__________. A. a method to calculate the average size of modern human communitiesB. a public opinion on the potential influence of online social networksC. a theory that states the limit of the size of one's social circleD. a scientific concept that once influenced human society in history 2)The word "panic-merchants" (Para. 1)refers to people__________.A. who have an intense fear of meeting others through online social networksB. who capitalize on people's worry about the impact of big online social networks on societyC. who are afraid of the lack of privacy on social networking websitesD. who disbelieve the power of densely connected social networks 3)What is the trouble with modern friendship according to the passage?A. People tend to have more scattered social networks than before.B. People have denser social networks thanks to online social apps.C. People feel it easier to lose their ties with those they had left behind.D. People find it hard to make real friends through online social networking. 4)According to the author, one bad thing about a dense social network is that__________.A. one's business is hard to developB. one's privacy can be easily invadedC. one has few chances to meet new friendsD. one has to cut ties with friends in distant places 5)What is the author's overall attitude toward dense social networks?A. Indifferent.B. Unclear.C. Negative.D. Positive.
