　　首先得搞明白的是这篇*到底讲的什么。

不用看具体内容，有两个地方直接告诉了。

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未来接班人——也就是潜力股——的培养问题。

A段讲了TLRG这个贯穿全文的研究组织诞生的原因：

现行的研究满足不了需要，于是大多数公司只能自己探索发掘接班人的模式;（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，并且应该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，什么专家协助等等。

整篇*分为四个部分，层层递进，有很强的逻辑性。

拿这样的*来做阅读材料应该是相对容易把握的。
