【1】B 根据横线前两句:当我们刚刚完成自己的工作,老板就给出了我们需要改善的建议。我们不要泄气,因为这是老板善意的建议,要正确面对。B项与与横线后一句“After all, positive criticism(批评)is a key part of any job.”相一致。

【2】C 根据横线前一句If you begin each task thinking that nothing will go wrong, you're fooling yourself.如果你认为没有事情会出错,那么你是在愚弄你自己。因为人人都会犯错,所以C项“You will make mistakes”与本段主题“Accept that you are not perfect.接受你并不完美”是一致的。

【3】D 根据本段第一句After you've finished, and before you submit it to your boss, be sure you've gone over everything carefully.可知当你完成你的任务以后,在提交之前,一定要再次仔细检查一遍。以确保少犯错。所以本段的主题是“Double check your work”故D正确。

【4】G 根据本段标题“Listen carefully仔细听”以及最后一句中“admit one's responsibility in one's work-related errors承认自己的错误中的责任”也就是说不要忽视别人的批评,否则你还会犯错。故G项与上下文一致。

【5】E 根据本段标题“Agree with part of the criticism ”同意部分批评意见。不要全部接受批评的观点。所以E项“You don't have to agree with everything.你不必同意每一件事情”与本段主题一致。

【题目】For the last 10 years, job listing site CareerBuilder has put out a list called “The Most Unbelievable Excuses for Calling in Sick.” For example, an employee said he couldn’t come in because his false teeth flew out the window while he was driving down the highway. The excuses were gathered through a survey that ran among 3,000 workers and 2,000 hiring managers.

The list is entertaining but there is a more serious issue hidden in this story. Federal law does not require private employers to give any paid sick leave, making the US the only one of the world’s wealthiest nations that doesn’t guarantee workers this right. Since 2006, cities and states have been adopting their own paid sick leave laws. California, Washington. DC and 13 cities including New York now require many employers to provide some sort of paid sick leave. But according to the Institute for Women’s Policy Research, 39% of private employees still have no access to paid days off. In the CareerBuilder survey, 38% of respondents said they go to work when they’re sick because they can’t afford to miss a day’s pay. The survey also shows that workers are taking a risk when they come up with far-fetched excuses. Nearly one in five employers says they have fired an employee for calling in sick with a fake excuse. If you’re spending the day at the beach while pretending to be ill, don’t post about it on Facebook. Nearly one in four employers (24%) has caught an employee lying about being sick by checking social media.

The motto of this story: If you really are sick, don’t come to work and spread your bacteria around the office. But if you just want to stay home, go with “I’m running a fever.” rather than one of these ridiculous excuses.

【1】The underlined word “far-fetched” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.

A. impossible to find B. likely to be true

C. difficult to believe D. easy to believe

【2】What problem is exposed in the survey?

A. Many employees have no access to paid sick leave.

B. Private employers make their workers work extra hours.

C. Some employees are not satisfied with their boss.

D. Private employers sometimes break the Federal law.

【3An employee will run the risk of being fired if he ______.

A. asks for sick leave

B. lies about being sick

C. posts his holiday on Facebook

D. spreads bacteria around the office

【4】What will the author present following the last paragraph?

A. A list of survey data.

B. A list of serious issues.

C. A list of reasonable facts.

D. A list of ridiculous excuses.

There are so many Confucian Temples (孔庙) around the world, especially in China. If Confucius were still alive today and could celebrate his September 28 birthday with a big cake, there would be a lot of candles. 【1】

While many people in China will remember Confucius on his special day, few people in the United States will give him a passing thought. It’s nothing personal. Most Americans don’t even remember the birthdays of their own national heroes.

2In many ways he has become a bridge that foreigners must cross if they want to reach a deeper understanding of China.

In the past two decades, the Chinese studies programs have gained huge popularity in Western universities. More recently, the Chinese government has set up Confucius Institutes in more than 80 countries.3The main courses of Chinese culture usually included Chinese art, history and philosophy(哲学). Some social scientists suggest that Westerners should take advantages of the ancient Chinese wisdom to make up for the disadvantages of Westerners philosophy.4So they will be ready for life in a world where China is an equal power with the United States. Businessmen who hope to make money in China are reading books about Confucius to understand their Chinese customers.

5Today China attracts the West more than ever, and it will need more teachers to introduce Confucius and Chinese culture to the West.

As for the old thinker, he will not soon be forgotten by people in the West, even if his birthday is.

A. These schools teach both Chinese language and culture.

B. So the old thinker’s ideas are still alive and well.

C. He’d need a fan or a strong wind to help him put them out.

D. Why do Americans have no knowledge about Confucius?

E. Students in the United States, in the meantime, are racing to learn Chinese.

F. But this doesn’t mean that Americans don’t care about Confucius.

G. This is because China is becoming increasing powerful.
