No one wants to look silly or do the wrong thing at a new job. It’s important to make the right impression (印象) from the first day. You will face new people. You will be in a new place. It may be difficult to know what to do. Here are seven tips to help you make it through the first days at a new job:

1. First impression is important. Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day, find out if your new job has a dress code. If so, be sure to follow it. No matter what you wear, always be neat (整潔) and clean.

2. Get to work on time. Employers value workers who come to work on time. Give yourself an extra 15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time.

3. Pay attention to introduction. One of the first things that your supervisor (主管) 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 isn’t around.

4. Ask plenty of questions. Make sure that your supervisor has told you what your are expected to do. If he or she has not told you your job duties, ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals for yourself.

5. Don't make personal phone calls. You should never make personal phone calls to your friends and family unless it's an emergency.

6. Don’t take too long for lunch. What’s the lunch-hour policy at your new job? You can find out from your supervisor or your company’s personnel department(人事部門). For example, do people eat at their desks or does everyone take a full hour outside the workplace?

7. Never be the first one to leave. Observe how your co-workers behave around quitting (離開) time. It does no good for you to be eager to leave.

1.Which is the best title for the passage?

A．Tips On First Days At a New Job             B．How to Do a Job Well

C．Be the Last to Leave                     D．Ways to Find a New Job

2.From the last two paragraphs, we can infer that the most important rule we should follow is ______.

A．to have lunch outside the workplace         B．to do as other people do

C．not to be the first to leave after work        D．to pay attention to introductions

3.The underlined phrase “a dress code” (Para. 2) means ______.

A．a(chǎn) beautiful dress                        B．a(chǎn) place where a dress can be placed

C．a(chǎn) neat and clean dress                    D．a(chǎn) rule about what you can wear to work

4.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．You should not make personal calls unless very necessary.

B．Co-workers will be important to you when the boss is out.

C．You shouldn’t ask any questions in case you trouble others.

D．Leave an extra 15 minutes earlier to make sure you won’t be late.

閱讀理解

　　Today rockets are very advanced machines which we can use to send astronauts into space．They are also used in firework displays to celebrate great events, such as the end of the Olympic Games or the beginning of the new millennium in the year 2000．

　　Rockets were probably invented by accident about 2000 years ago．The Chinese had a form of gunpowder which was put in bamboo tubes and thrown into fires to make explosions during festivals．Perhaps some of the tubes jumped out of the fire instead of exploding in it．The Chinese discovered that the gunpowder escaping from the tube could lift it into the air．The idea of the rocket was born．

　　The first military use of rockets was in 1232．The Song Dynasty was at war with the Mongols．During the battle of Kaifeng, the Song army shot “arrows of flying fire”．The tubes were attached to a long stick which helped keep the rocket moving in a straight direction．Soon the Mongols learned how to make rockets themselves and it is possible that they introduced them to Europe．Between the 13th and 15th century there were many rocket experiments in England, France and Italy．They were used for military purposes．One Italian scientist even invented a rocket which could travel over the surface of water and hit an enemy ship．

　　Not everybody wanted to use rockets in battles．Wan Hu, a Chinese government official, invented a flying chair．He attached two big kites to the chair, and 47 rockets to the kites．The rockets were lit, there was a huge explosion and clouds of thick smoke．When the smoke cleared Wan Hu and his chair had disappeared, no one knows what happened．Did Wan Hu die in the explosion? Or was he carried miles into space, becoming the world’s first astronaut?

(1)

Which of the following correctly shows how the idea of the rocket was born?

a．Some of the bamboo tubes were thrown high into the air by the explosion．

e．Someone got the idea of the rocket．

f．Some people were celebrating a festival．

[　　]

d→b→c→a→f→e

B．

d→b→a→c→f→e

C．

a→b→c→d→e→f

D．

f→d→b→c→a→e

(2)

What does the 3rd paragraph mainly tell us?

[　　]

A．

How the Chinese used rockets in battles．

B．

How the rocket developed into a powerful weapon．

C．

How the Europeans developed the rocket．

D．

The role the rocket played in wars．

(3)

[　　]

Is there a magic cutoff period when offspring become accountable for their own actions? Is there a wonderful moment when parents can become spectators (旁觀者) in the lives of their children and shrug, "It' s their life," and feel nothing?

When I was in my twenties, I stood in a hospital corridor waiting for doctors to put a few stitches in my son' s head. I was asked, "When do you stop worrying?" A nurse said, "When they get out of the accident stage." My mother just smiled faintly and said nothing.

When I was in my thirties, I sat on a little chair in a classroom and heard how one of my children talked incessantly, disrupted (打斷) the class, and was headed for a career making license plates. As if to read my mind, a teacher said, "Don't worry. They all go through this stage, and then you can sit back, relax, and enjoy them." My mother listened and said nothing.

When I was in my forties, I spent a lifetime waiting for the phone to ring and the cars to come home, the front door to open.

My friends said that when my kids got married I could stop worrying and lead my own life. I wanted to believe that, but I was haunted by my mother' s wan ( 淡淡的 ) smile and her occasional words, "You look pale. Are you all right? Call me the minute you get home."

Can it be that parents are sentenced to a lifetime of worry? Is concern for one another handed down like a torch to blaze the trail of human frailties and the fears of the unknown? Is concern a curse? Or is it a virtue that elevates us to the highest form of life?

One of my children became quite irritable recently, saying to me, "Where were you? I' ve been calling for three days, and no one answered. I was worried! ! !"

I smiled a wan smile.
