No one wants to look silly or do the wrong thing at a new job. It is important to make the right impression(印象) from the first day. You’ll face new people. You will be in a new place.
It may be difficult to know what to do. Here are five tips to help you make it through the first days at a new job:
1. First impressions can last forever. Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day, find out if your new job has a dress code (rules about what you can wear to work). If so, be sure to follow it. No matter what, always be neat and clean.
2. Get to work on time. Give yourself an extra 15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time.
3. Pay attention to introductions. One of the first things that your supervisor may do is to introduce you to co-workers. These co-workers will be important to you. They are the ones who will answer your questions when the boss is not around.
4. Ask plenty of questions. Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you. If he or she has not told you your duties, ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals for yourself.
5. Never be the first one to leave. Watch what your co-workers do around quitting time (下班時(shí)間).  It does not look good for you to be eager(急切) to leave.
小題1: Before you arrive at work, you should __________.
A．dress in a right wayB．introduce yourself
C．know your dutiesD．know your co-workers well
小題2: According to the passage, which of the following statements is True?
A．You should be the first one to arrive at work.
B．You should ask your co-workers for your duties.
C．You should not be eager to go back home.
D．You are required to arrive 15 minutes earlier.
小題3:According to the passage, your supervisor is most likely your __________.
A．visitorB．teacherC．workmateD．leader

小題1:A
小題2:C
小題3:D

試題分析：這篇短文告訴我們當(dāng)你開始一份新工作的時(shí)候，你總是會(huì)有一些擔(dān)憂，怕自己表現(xiàn)不好。那這篇短文就在這方面給我們提了幾條建議，這些建議可以幫助我們?cè)趧傞_始新工作的時(shí)候能夠順利。
小題1:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章的第一條建議Before your first day, find out if your new job has a dress code (rules about what you can wear to work). If so, be sure to follow it. No matter what, always be neat and clean.，在你第一天上班之前，你要查明你的新工作在穿著上是否有一定的要求，要遵循這些要求，不管你穿什么，要保證干凈整潔。這一條建議是關(guān)于你的穿著的，這是在上班之前就要考慮到的。故選A。
小題2:細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章的最后一條建議Never be the first one to leave. Watch what your co-workers do around quitting time (下班時(shí)間).  It does not look good for you to be eager(急切) to leave.，不要第一個(gè)離開�？匆豢茨愕耐聜�?cè)诳煲掳嗟臅r(shí)候會(huì)做什么。急于離開對(duì)你來說是不好的，故C是正確的。A、D兩個(gè)選項(xiàng)是關(guān)于你上班的時(shí)間，文章中告訴我們要準(zhǔn)時(shí)到，不是做第一個(gè)或提前到。B選項(xiàng)與原文表達(dá)不符。
小題3:詞義猜測(cè)題。這個(gè)單詞出現(xiàn)在文中One of the first things that your supervisor may do is to introduce you to co-workers.，意為：你的主管做的事情之一就是把你介紹給你的同事們。這里supervisor 應(yīng)該不同于co-workers,所以我們猜測(cè)supervisor 應(yīng)該是你的上級(jí)。故選D。

Many companies use guards and expensive alarm systems to protect their property (財(cái)產(chǎn)). Soon a new kind of protection will be used—robots. Engineers have been working on the first mobile robots for businesses. The robots will guard factories, warehouses (倉庫) and museums at night.
The mobile robots will move around slowly on wheels. They will be able to detect (察覺,發(fā)現(xiàn)) people through walls and pick up sounds, such as breaking glass. They can be fixed with loud sirens to frighten thieves, or radios to signal police or guards.
To protect a building, a robot will have to move around without knocking into the walls. Information about the building will have to be stored in the robot’s small, built-in computer. A floor map could be programmed into the computer’s memory, for example.
A mobile robot will not be able to do everything. Unlike human guards, it will not be able to climb stairs, open doors, or move along rough ground. It won’t be able to tell the difference between friends and enemies. Because of that, people will have to be prevented from entering the area it moves.
One kind of mobile robot will be able to “sense” whether a chair or a box has been moved and go around it. This robot will also judge size well enough so that it won’t send an alarm if a cat crosses the room. And if someone tries to steal this robot, it will sound a loud, painful siren. The three-foot-tall robot is hard to be stolen anyway. It weighs about 200 pounds.
U.S. companies pay almost $10 billion a year to protect their property with alarm systems and human guards. Mobile robots may be cheaper.  (296)
小題1: Why is the new kind of robots called mobile robots? Because they can _____.
A．guard factories, warehouses and museums
B．send loud, painful sirens when it is stolen
C．sense moving objects and signal police
D．move around and do the programmed work
小題2: How will a robot get directions for moving around a building?
A．From a human guard.B．From a built-in computer.
C．From another robot.D．From radio signals.
小題3: What can be the best title of this passage?
A．New Guards.B．Science and Technology.
C．Alarm Systems.D．Engineers and Robots.
