        Today, many large corporations stress the importance of diversity on their websites, but current statistics show that the typical manager in America still tends to be white and male. Obviously, (19) [the desire to bring about diversity has not translated into corporate reality.] Why is this? A team of researchers from the University of Basel published (20) [their new study about people’s attitudes towards diversity at work.] They found that people have a wide range of opinions concerning diversity. On the one hand, many see value in diversity, which can contribute a variety of perspectives, encourage new ideas and generate innovative solutions. On the other hand, they assume that it might be difficult to work with someone who has completely different views, speaks a different language, or has a different style of work. The actual value they attribute to diversity depends on the decision-making perspective. Doubts about the practicability of diversity have a greater weight if a person is directly affected. In other words, when a person’s own work group is involved, (21) [they tend to prefer team members who are similar to themselves.] But when people make decisions for others, they typically put together a more diverse team. These findings could help organizations become more diverse. Companies need to pay attention to who makes hiring and team decisions. These decisions should not only be made by those directly affected. People who are not directly involved in the group’s daily work should also take part.

19. What do we learn from the current statistics about diversity in large corporations?

解析：B。录音开头提到关于大公司多元化的统计数据，指出在美国一般担任管理者的仍然是白人男性。显然，多元化的愿望尚未变成企业里的现实。B项与此内容相符，其中的have not seen as much diversity as desired对应录音中的the desire to bring about diversity has not translated into corporate reality，故B项为正确答案。

错项排除：A项利用录音中的difficult进行干扰，但录音中是说很难与一些观点、语言或工作风格不同的人共事，并不是说多元化很难实现，故排除。录音中提到很多大公司都强调多元化的重要性，但没有提到其员工是否正在日趋多元化，故C项排除。录音中未提到大公司是否理解了多元化的概念，故D项排除。
