【解析】

试题分析：试题分析：这篇短文主要讲述了在新的工作岗位上班第一天应该注意的五个细节问题。短文从衣着、时间、介绍、工作目标及工作态度五个方面做了具体的阐述。

1.1】C 上句：你将面对新人，你将在一个新的地方。下句：这里有一些建议帮助你度过一分新工作的头些天。因此可知此处要表达的是“知道做什么可能是很难的”，所以C项最合适。

2.2】F根据下文“确保你有一个好印象。第一天上班以前，一定要弄清楚你的新工作是否有一个服装规定，如果是这样，一定要按着这个规定。无论什么，总是要整洁、干净”。所以这里表达的是“第一印象很重要”。故应选F。

3.3】B前面提到“上班要按时。老板很重视雇员按时上班”。因此此处表达的应该是“为了确保你按时到达，你要提前十五分钟”。故选 B。

4.4】E根据上一问句：在你的新工作上，你午饭时间的政策是什么？所以按常理下面应该接着问：人们在工作台上吃饭还是每个人都有充足的时间到车间外面去吃饭？因此可选E。

5.5】D根据下句“你从来不要给你的朋友和家人打私人电话，除非有紧急情况”。所以此处应表达“不要打私人电话”。故选D。
