A Pay Rise or Not?
“Unless I get a rise.I'11 have a talk with the boss, Henry Manley,”George Strong said to himself. George liked his job and he liked the town he lived in,but his wife kept telling him that his pay was not enough to meet the needs of the family.That was why he was thinking of taking a job in Birmingham,a nearby city about 50 miles away.He had been offered a job in a factory there,and the pay was far better.
George lived in Wyeford,a medium-sized town .He really liked the place and didn't like the idea of moving somewhere else,but if he took the job in Birmingham,he would have to move his family there.
Henry Manley was the manager of a small company manufacturing electric motors.The corn-pany was in deep trouble because,among other reasons,the Japanese were selling such things at very low prices. As a result,Manley had to cut his own prices and profits as well. Otherwise he would not get any orders at all .Even then,orders were still not coming in fast enough,so that there was no money for raises（加工资）for his workers. Somehow ,he had to struggle along and keep his best workers as well.He sighed.Just then the phone rang.
His secretary told him that George Strong wanted to see him as soon as possible.Manley sighed again.He could guess what it was about.George Strong was a very young engineer. The company had no future unless it could attract and keep men like him.Manley rubbed his forehead （前额）;his problems seemed endless.The job that had been offered to George in Birmingham paid better.
A: Right
B: Wrong
C: Not mentioned答案：A解析：题目说的是：Henry Manley早已负债累累。第三段说到公司困难重重，Manley不得不降低产品价格和减少利润。但文章只是说Manley利润减少，并没提到其负债。C正确：
题目说的是：在伯明翰提供给George Strong的工作报酬要好。第一段最后一句话是这么说的：那儿的一家工厂给他提供了一份工作，报酬要好得多。
题目说的是：George Strong接受在伯明翰的那份工作的话，他将不得不把他的家留在Wyeford。第二段是这么说的：……如果他接受在伯明翰的那份工作，他将不得不把他的家搬到那里。
题目说的是：Henry Manley的公司困难重重。第三段的第二句话是这么说的：“The company was in deep trouble because…”。
题目说的是：Henry Manley的公司获得的利润足以给工人增加工资。第三段的倒数第四句是这么说的：……没有钱给他的工人加工资。
题目说的是：Henry Manley压根儿不知道George Strong为什么要见他。最后一段的第三句是这么说的：他能猜到George Strong找他的原因。
题目说的是：George Strong是Henry Manley公司最好的工程师。最后一段是这么说的：George Strong是一个很年轻的工程师。公司除非把像他这样的人留住，否则是没有前途的。这些信息不足以推出“他是一个Henry Manley公司最好的工程师。” -

How to Get along Well with Your Boss
1 Before you argue with your boss,check with the boss's secretary to determine his mood.If he ate
nails for breakfast,it is not a good idea to ask him for something.Even without the boss's secretary,there
are keys to timing don't approach the boss when he's on deadline,don't go in right before lunch,when he
is apt to be distracted and rushed,don't go in just before or after he has taken a vacation.
2 If you're mad,that will only make your boss mad.Calm down first.And don'tlet a particular con-
cern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration.The boss will feel that you think negatively
about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind.Then maybe he will dismiss you.
3 Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem
the other wants to discuss.Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear. The employee
has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understand it.
4 Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more.If you can'tput forward an immediate
solution,at least suggest how to approach the problem.People who frequently present problems without solu-
tions to their bosses may soon find they can'tget past the secretary.
5 To deal effectively with a boss,it's important to consider his goals and pressures.If you can put
yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss,then he will be naturally more inclined to work with
you to achieve your goals.Paragraph 5__________
A:Keep Your Voice Low All the Time
B:Put Yourself in the Boss's Position
C:Propose Your Solution
D:Don't Go In When You Are Angry
E:Make the Issue Clear
F:Never Give In答案：B解析：文章第二段的第一句“If you are mad , that will only make your boss mad.”是本段的主题句，是说如果你在心情不好时去找老板会把事情弄得更糟。故选D。
从文章第三段的第一句和第二句“Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss.Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear.”一知，当老板或员工都不知道对方想探讨的问题是什么时，就会引发激烈的争吵。而当双方都清楚了之后就不会有争吵。因此，双方都应清楚对方要说什么。故选E。
文章第四段的第二句话和第三句“If you can' t put forward an immediate solution, at least suggest how to approach the problem.People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they can' t get past the secretary.”可知，如果你不能提出立刻就能解决问题的办法，也要至少给老板建议可以解决问题的途径。那些只会不断向老板提出问题而不提供解决办法的人很快就发现他们在老板秘书那就过不了关，更别提会被老板接见。因此，在提出问题时也要提出问题的解决办法。故选C。
文章第五段的第一句是本段主题句，"To deal effectively with a boss, it' s important to consider his goals and pressures.”意思是说应该从老板的位置看问题，设身处地，老板才会愿意帮助你。故选B。
从语法上看，这里需要的是一个宾语，现在填人的是一个宾语从句。再看本句的意义和文章第一句“Before you argue with your boss , check with the boss's secretary to determine his mood.”的意思相同。故选B。
这句话需要填人的是动词make的宾语，根据文章第三段的内容可知“让老板明白你想要探讨的问题是很必要的”,D选项的内容与之相同。
由文章第四段可知，只提出问题，不提供解决办法是不聪明的。故选E。
从本句的结构来看，the trouble后面需要有限定或修饰的成分，故填人一个定语从句。根据句意，从文章最后一段的第一句“To deal effectively with a boss,it's importantt。consider his goals and pressures"，可以找到答案，C为最佳答案。 -

How to Get Along Well With Your Boss
1 Before you argue with your boss,check with the boss's secretary to determine his mood.If he ate nails for breakfast,it is not a good idea to ask him for something.Even without the boss's secretary,there are keys to timing:don't approach the boss when he's on deadline,don't go in right before lunch,when he is apt to be distracted and rushed,don't go in just before or after he has taken a vacation.
2 If you're mad,that will only make your boss mad.Calm down first,and don't let a particular concern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration.The boss will feel that you think negatively about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind.Then maybe he will dismiss you.
3 Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss.Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear.The employee has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understand it.
4 Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more.If you can't put forward an immediate solution,at least suggest how to approach the problem.People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they can't get past the secretary.
5 To deal effectively with a boss,it's important to consider his goals and pressures.If you can put yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss,then he will be naturally more inclined to work with you to achieve your goals.Paragraph 2______
A:Keep Your Voice Low All the Time
B:Put Yourself in the Boss's Position
C:Propose Your Solution
D:Don't Go In When You Are Angry
E:Make the Issue Clear
F:Never Give In答案：D解析：文章第二段第一句话“If you are mad , that will only make your boss mad.”是本段的主题句，是说如果你在心情不好时去找老板，这样会把事情弄得更糟。故选D。
由文章第三段第一句和第二句话“Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss.Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear.”可知，当老板或员工不知道对方想探讨的问题是什么时，就会引发激烈的争吵，而当双方都清楚了之后就可能不会争吵。故选E0
由文章第四段第二句和第三句话“If you can ' t put forward an immediate solution , at least suggest how to approach the problem.People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they can ' t get past the secretary.”可知，如果你不能提出解决问题的即时方案，至少也要给老板建议可以解决问题的途径。那些只会不断向老板提出问题而不提供解决办法的人很快就会发现他们在老板秘书那都过不了关，更别提会被老板接见了。因此，在提出问题时也要提出问题的解决办法。故选C。
文章第五段第一句话“To deal effectively with a boss , it ' s important to consider his goals and pressures.”是本段的主题句，是说应该设身处地地从老板的角度看问题，这样老板才会愿意帮助你解决你所提出的问题。故选B。
由文章第一段第一句话“Before you argue with your boss , check with the boss ' s secretary to determine his mood.”可知，如果想要向老板询问什么，应该首先向老板的秘书确认老板此刻的心情。故选B。
由文章第三段可知，让老板明白你想要探讨的问题是很必要的。故选D。
由文章第四段可知，只向老板提出问题，而不提供解决办法是不明智的。故选E。
由文章最后一段第一句话“To deal effectively with a boss , it ' s important to consider his goals and pressures.”可知，应该设身处地地从老板的角度考虑老板所面临的问题和麻烦，才会取得有效的解决问题的办法。故选C。 -
