首先得搞明白的是这篇（文章）究竟讲的什么。不用看详细内容，有两个地方直接告知了。一个是题目说明的第一句话，另一个是正文的标题。从这两个地方就可以看出全文探讨的是公司将来接班人——也就是潜力股——的培育问题。

A段讲了TLRG这个贯穿全文的讨论组织诞生的缘由：现行的讨论满意不了需要，于是大多数公司只能自己探究发掘接班人的模式;(即第五题的答案)

B段讲了直属经理(linemanagers)对于发掘接班人的重要性(真是干什么都要从基层抓起)，以及经理们的一些疑虑;

C段讲的是接班人问题对公司的重要性，并且应当让院线经理们明白这种重要性;

D段是针对前面列出的问题，提出的解决建议，什么专家帮助等等。

整篇文章分为四个部分，层层递进，有很强的规律性。拿这样的文章来做阅读材料应当是相对简单把握的。

答案及解析：

关于加薪的文章，教你怎么样实现加薪。这道题目不难，但是抛开题目，单说文章里谈的加薪的（方法），各位还是要辩证的看。要想人生第一份工作就找到自己满足的，是挺难，可是以加薪为目的跳槽，也未必是什么明智的好方法。

31题，太明显的定语从句，前面是someone，那么当然填入表示人的关系代词who。

32题，inlinewith，和什么全都，固定搭配，在中级的选词版完型里常考到这个词组。这句的意思是，找个一个情愿给你供应和你才能更加全都的薪水的人。

33题，fromtimetotime，时不时的。changingemployersfromtimetotime，时不时的换老板。

34题，Irrespectiveof，同regardlessof一样，后面接让步状语从句，不管我们对可能的雇主讨论的多么好，新的工作都是一个未知数。用howwell。

35题，turnouttobe，固定用法。

36题，换工作，要么是个好的举措，要么将成为灾难。而我们大多数人这两种经受都有。有这种经受，是过去完成时，用have+done。

37题，理解前后文意思。换老板不是件我们常常情愿做的事情，并且也不是一想要加薪就要换老板。用everytime，表示每次要加薪就预备换老板。

38题，这题有点难度，考验人的语法功底。首先这个（句子）是虚拟语气，We’d是wewould的缩写，而不是wehad。是表示对将来的假设，我们要担当更多的风险。所以用wouldbe。

39题，比较明显的，viewas，将什么视作什么。

40题，和circumstance相关的词组，很简单想到under/onsomecircumstance，在某种状况下。
