1.A 由上下文可知,此處說的是在經(jīng)理培訓(xùn)課上經(jīng)常談?wù)摰脑掝}。

2. C下文提到Cynthia,由于她的經(jīng)理關(guān)心她并給她兒子買棒球手套,她繼續(xù)留在該公司,故“我們”談?wù)摰脑掝}是 “留住好員工的問題”。

3. D由下文可知,Cynthia曾在該公司工作并同時(shí)想著找其他工作,不過后來發(fā)生的一件事讓她在該公司安心工作,并成為一名新經(jīng)理,故此處用caused。force被迫;or-der命令。

4. B此處是對“我”提出問題的回答,即過了一會兒后 Cynthia就以自己的切身體會回答了這個(gè)問題。take the question字面上意為“接受了這個(gè)問題”,也就是“回答了這個(gè)問題”。

5. B從下文可知是一個(gè)棒球手套使她下決心留在這里并努力工作的。 

6. D上文說Cynthia已經(jīng)是個(gè)經(jīng)理,此處講述的是她過去i 在那兒做臨時(shí)工的事情,可見這是以前的事情,故用丨 used。used to do sth意為“過去常常做......”。

7. C前面說她在那兒做臨時(shí)工,后面說她在找其他的工I 作,故用while表示“與此同時(shí)”。

8. B 由下文“I overheard you ... to your son yesterday…”    

可知,此處指的是她接到了兒子的“電話”。  

9. C從后面的內(nèi)容特別是“ it is…to explain things to kids. ”來看,此處用 explained。

10. C兒子要棒球手套,可她卻不能給兒子買,因?yàn)樗牡趇 一張支票要付賬單,故此處說的是“作為一個(gè)單身女性, 錢很緊張”。    

11. B 從后面的“…h(huán)ave to go for paying bills. ”來看,此處應(yīng)用cheque。cheque意為“支票”,在這里指“第一份工| 資”。 

12. C此處指她兒子打來電話的“第二天早晨”,應(yīng)用the;next morning o

13. B商店經(jīng)理無意間聽到了 Cynthia與兒子打電話的內(nèi)i 容,所以她才買了棒球手套送來。

14. C由上文她苦口婆心地向兒子解釋家中的困難,可推斷此處用hard,即“向兒子解釋這些很困難”。

15. D pay sb表示付給......錢。

16. D此處經(jīng)理的意思是“你知道像你這樣的好人,我們不 能想給你多少就給多少”。  

17. B前面說“像你這樣的好人我們不能想給多少錢就給多少錢”,這與后面的“我們確實(shí)很在乎”有轉(zhuǎn)折關(guān)系,故用 but。

18. D從上下文知,錢不是最重要的,而關(guān)心、同情和愛心才是最重要的。此處經(jīng)理是想讓她明白“好員工對他們丨來說是多么重要”。

19. A經(jīng)理的體貼、同情和愛心表明人們更關(guān)注的是雇主的關(guān)心,而不是得到了多少錢。

20. D由Cynthia的親身經(jīng)歷可知,對于雇員來說“雇主的關(guān)心比給多少工資要重要得多”。
