Section B
Passage 1

　　Both John and Sue joined the staff of a successful Public Relations’firm in New York during the same year. They have just completed their PR degrees at a nearby university and would be hired by one of the finest PR firms in the city. John’s first assignment was to create a promotion campaign for a client to put in a new game on the market. Initially, Sue was assigned to work with a sports ware company on the marketing concept for its newest line of clothing. As time passed and the work with their respective first clients became more and more difficult, John and Sue realized that they had been assigned two of the toughest accounts in town. Although John completed his assignment quickly and successfully, he was furious when he learnt the boss had deliberately assign him a difficult account. In response, he not only complained to his colleagues, but also to the boss’ secretary. Sue, on the other hand, had more difficult time satisfying her first client. As she took several additional months to actually complete the project, however, she just laughed when she heard that the boss had made the assignment purposely. Over the next two years, John worked reluctantly with each assignment and problems that he’s encountered. Sue accepted each assignment cheerfully. When problems arose, she responded with her characteristics “No problem. I can handle it”. Although Sue took longer to complete her project than John and both were equally successfully on the assignments they completed, Sue was given the first promotion when they came to a vacancy.
