6、 all sorts of awkward moral problems for employers, as well as legal dangers, such as sexual harassment claims. Given the potential risks, “the employer does have to interfere,“ Ms. Edwards says. Meet privately with the employees and have them state that its a voluntary relationship to protect again

7、st a sexual harassment claim. They should keep things professional, meaning no visible public display of affection or sharing of company information in ways that could put their co-workers at a disadvantage. Also talk about the potential of a breakup and the professionalism you expect. If theyre at-

An Employee Shares Too Much Personal Information with Co-workers This is the employee who talks in excruciating (极令人不愉快的 ) detail about his impending divorce, recent doctors visit or latest romantic relationship. Th

Tim Young, founder and CEO of multimillion-dollar software firm Socialcast, has dealt with “TMI“ employees at the companys Irvine, Calif., headquarters. He takes these employees to lunch and brings up the topic. Says Young, 2

10、7, “You can coach them on reducing the amount of information theyre providing to other employees and refocus them back on the company.“ 3. A laid-off employee turns vengeful (图谋报复的 ) An angry ex-employee can cause a lot of damages. If he takes things too far, file a property damage report with the p

11、olice. Even if youre working only on suspicion that an ex-employee is behind the damage, you can explain why you believe the ex-employee may be the bad guy. Plan ahead for ex-employees who could pose a problem. Research security companies and know how to file a restraining order, if necessary. Treat

12、 employees how you would like to be treated, too. Says Ms. Edwards, “Lay people off in the most respectful and humane way possible to try to minimize this sort of behaviour.“ 4. Employees wear politics or religion on their sleeve Religion and politics are topics best avoided, but some employees will

13、 work them into the conversation. Theres a big difference between the employee who simply says “God bless you“ and the employee who tries to convert his co-workers. As the employer, you may ask an employee to refrain from religious conversation around fellow co-workers who find it troublesome and co

Craig, an employment attorney with Thompson, Sizemore, Gonzalez cells dump in carbon dioxide. When these wastes reach a certain level in th

If the blood of a physically fatigued animal is injected into a rested animal, it will produce fatigue. The solution to this type of fatigue is simple rest. That should revive you; if it

16、doesnt, another cause should be sought. Have you ever become involved in so many activities that you had to be in two places at once? This is what happens when your body has a disease. The cells are overtaxed and cannot keep up with both fighting the disease and keeping you active. The result is fat

17、igue. Some communicable diseases like the flu and colds are notorious for draining your energy. Other non-communicable diseases, like anemia (贫血 ), drain you because you are lacking an important body ingredient. Being overweight can cause pathological fatigue. It should be obvious that this type of

18、fatigue is not going to go away without treatment. In a way, pathological fatigue is a lifesaver. It lets you know something is wrong and that you need rest. Even a poor diet can produce pathological fatigue. Frequently, people who go on crash diets develop pathological fatigue, and if the diet is n

Often, the cause is an emotional war you are waging with yourself or those around you. Some of these familiar factors can bring on psychological fatigue: wor

20、ries, stress, lack of exercise, boredom, depression. If you know someone with psychological fatigue, would you advise him to rest? No way! That might be fine for our other types of fatigue, but for this one, its deadly. If you are ever going to be able to cope with stress, depression, or worry, you

21、need oxygen in your cells and a more optimistic attitude. Get out of the chair and do something! Believe it or not, many people throw themselves into physical labor like cleaning or carpentry to “defatigue“ themselves.

It is not about ensuring that

28、people dont get poisoned: it is about changing their behavior. Should governments be trying to do anything about it【 C4】 _? There is a bad reason for doing something, and a couple of good ones. The bad reason is that governments should help citizens look【 C5】 _themselves. People, the argument【 C6】 _

38、afety Reports of food poisonings or tainted food have been frequent in China. In late 2006, illegal amount of chemicals was discovered in turbot. In March 2007, KFC was accused of adding oil filtering power. In September 2008, a fresh outbreak of kidney disease occurred, due to baby formula contamin

39、ated by melamine, a poisonous chemical. These incidents happened so frequently mainly because the government failed to inspect efficiently. There are around ten national government departments and numerous provincial and local agencies that share the responsibility to ensure food safety and monitor

40、food production and sales. However, their duties are often overlapping and ambiguous, which makes the monitoring system unresponsive. In my opinion, to guarantee the food safety, the government should attach great importance to food inspection and improve the supervision mechanism. They should check

41、 the food products in the market, and immediately pull those disqualified products off shelves. In this way, Chinese food will become safer and safer. 二、 Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes) Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quick

42、ly and answer the questions attached to the passage. For questions 1-4, mark： Y (for YES) if the statement agrees with the information given in the passage; N (for NO) if the statement contradicts the information given in the passage; NG (for NOT GIVEN) if the information is not given in the passage

43、. 2 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 题干中的 a company owner对应该句中的 an entrepreneur，unpleasant human resources situations对应 sticky situations among employees，故该句中末尾 that引导的定语从句就是本题答案的出处。 Ccan reduce the work efficiency是对该句 get in the way of productivity的同义转述，故为答案。 3 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 该段第一句提到调查显示许多员工有过办公室恋情；接着第二句指出这种关系会带来

44、moral problems(道德上的问题 )和 legal dangers(法律上的风险 )；第三句中 Edwards建议说考虑到这种 potential risks，老板应该介入，其中risks即是对上句的 moral problems和 legal dangers的概括， B也是对其的概括，故为答案。 4 【正确答案】 C 【试题解析】 首段提出问题：员工过多披露个人信息，让同事感觉不悦，第二段末句引言即 Tim Young的处理 方法。 C中 redirectattention to work 是对引言中 refocus them back on the company的同义转述，故为

45、答案。 5 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 该标题下首段提出 “被离职 ”员工可能会报复的问题，第二段 Plan ahead为给出的第一个建议措施，第二个建议是善待员工，引言是对其的进一步补充说明。 A中的 show respect是对 in the most respectful and humane way的同义转述；题干中不定式中 prevent对 应末句中的 try to minimize，故答案为 A。 6 【正确答案】 D 【试题解析】 题干中的 annoy his colleagues是对该段首句 make people angry and distract from the w

46、ork的同义转述； Dadvise him to hold them at non work time是对 Suggest they save these discussions for break times的同义转述，故为答案。 7 【正确答案】 A 【试题解析】 该段首句 Bob Nelson首先提出跟不服同事升迁的员工见面，第二句和第三句的祈使句给出关于下一步如何做的建议，题干中的 its betterto 即表示建议。 Aexplain reasons for the promotions即是对第三句中 Tell them why this worker received the p

47、romotion的同义转述，故为答案。 8 【正确答案】 B 【试题解析】 题干中 the source of his colleagues anger对应该 标题下第二段首句中的 fester(激起怨忿 )和后面的 other employees want to throw more than rice at the engaged(其他职员朝订婚者想扔的不仅仅是米粒儿 )；由 This problem可知，激起怨忿的真正原因在上段，即 coworker picking up the slack for someone more interested in place settings(同事

48、只能帮某个对布置婚礼更感兴趣的员工收拾烂摊子 )， B是对其的同义转述，故为答案。 9 【正确答案】 private meeting 【试题解析】 首句指出 Mr Young曾面临的员工吸毒问题，第二句给出了其处理方法。题干中 with的宾语 the worker who is a substance abuser对应该句中的them(即首句中的 employees who developed substance abuse problem)； the problem对应 performance and behavioral problems，故 with前的 meet privately即是

49、 答案出处。空前的 holds和 a提示，本空应填一单数名词 (短语 )，故将 meet privately转化为 private meeting. 10 【正确答案】 all in the gaps 【试题解析】 题干中的结果 Employees without children are put at a disadvantage是由该段第二句引言中 treating one class of employees differently推断而来。首句中 where引导的定语从句解释了导致该结果的原因。题干中的 they always have to对应 where从句中的 childless workers are always being asked to
