资料:No matter how carefully you pick the members on your team,you may still end up with a negative employee.These workers don’t necessarily fall into the category of “toxic,”but they’re just kind of a drag with their cynical, pessimistic worldview.If you ‘re dealing with a negative employee,here are 3 steps to take.
FIND OUT WHY
If you decide to proceed in addressing the behavior,think about whether there have been behavior changes recently.Is the negativity a constant or has the behavior escalated?If the latter ,was there an event that led up to the change?Individuals in the workplace live multi-dimensional lives,and other non-workplace stresses may impact work productivity and mood.
In an April 2016 report in the Journal of Managerial Psychology,a team of Toronto researchers found that employee who are cynical of their workplace may feel more positive if their managers are supportive.
DISCUSS GOALS
When discussing the situation with your negative employee,it is recommended to frame the discussion in the context of the Individual’s goals.”Tone policing” where you simply point out pessimistic commentary without addressing the root cause, rarely works and may just cause more resentment.Get to the root of the issue and find out if the employee needs additional training,perhaps in management or communication skills,to overcome a deficit.
ADDRESS ISSUES
A direct,solutions-oriented conversation with the employee can uncover problems or circumstances driving the behavior.If there are workplace issue that can be solved,consider doing so if it make sense.If there are personal issues that have caused an escalation in negative behavior,examine whether accommodations can be made to help the person while they’re going through such challenges.Some employees don’t have great interpersonal skills,and putting them in jobs where they are more focused on job-related tasks than on interactions with others can be an effective solution,too.
According to paragraph four ,what is NOT a solution to the negativity?

In business, people have to deal in person__________ all kinds of people. You may have to use English when talking to different people within your company who don't speak your language; these may be colleagues or co-workers, superiors or subordinates-who may work with you in your own department, in another part of the building or in another branch. And you may also have to deal in English with people from__________ the organization: clients, suppliers, visitors and members of the public. Moreover, these people may be friends, acquaintances or strangers-people of your own age, or people who are__________ or older than you. The relationship you have with a person determines the kind of language you use. This relationship may even affect what you say when you meet people: for example, it's not__________ to say “Hi, how are you!” when meeting the Managing Director of a large company or to say “Good morning, it's a great pleasure to meet you” when being introduced to a person you'll be working closely with in the same team. Remember that people form. an impression of you from the way you speak and behave-not just from the__________ you do your work. People in different countries have different ideas of what sounds friendly, polite or sincere-and of what sounds rude or unfriendly! Good manners in your culture may be considered bad manners in another. Remember also that your body language, gestures and expression may tell people more about you than the words you use.

Part B[A] You may have to impress the company HR representatives as well.HR reps are typically trained to ask very specific and personal questions,like what salary you expect and what you’ve made in the past.They might ask you about your impressions of the company and the people whointerviewed you. They might also ask if you have other offers. If so,chances are good that they are willing to compete for you.But if you say that you have other offers,be prepared to back it up with the who, what and when,because they might challenge you.The HR reps are also the people who will conduct or arrange reference and background checks.They might have the final say.[B] Besides management, you might also interview with one or more of your future coworkers.Regardless of the questions they ask, what they most really want to know is how well you’ll fit into the team, if you’ll cause them more work instead of less,and if they should feel threatened by you. When answering,be eager enough to show that you are a good team player and will pull your load,but not so eager as to appear to be a back- stabbing ladder climber![C] Always research a company before you interview, and remember that attire,body language and manners count, big time. Try to avoid common mistakes.You may think that this is common sense, but crazy stuff really happens![D] Job interviewing is one of the most popular career topics on the Web.But no career advisor can tell you exactly what to say during a job interview.Interviews are just too upclose and personal for that.About the best that career advisors can do,is to give you some tips about the typical questions to expect,so you can practice answering them ahead of time. But,while there are many canned interview questions, there are few canned answers.The rest is up to you.[E] Be prepared to attend a second interview at the same company,and maybe even a third or fourth. If you’re called back for more interviews,it means that they’re interested in you. But, it doesn’t mean you’re a shoo- in. Most likely, they are narrowing the competition, so keep up the good work![F] To put you somewhat at ease, many interviewers really don’t know how to interview effectively.Frontline interviewers are typically managers and supervisorswho have never been or are barely trained in interviewing techniques.They’re a little nervous too, just like you. Some don’t even prepare in advance.This makes it easier for you to take control of the interview,if you have prepared. But in controlling an interview, it’s not a good idea to try to dominate.Instead, try to steer it toward landing the job.[G] After interviewing, immediately send a thank you letter to each of your interviewers.It’s professional and expected, and might even be the deciding factor in your favor.[H] Remember, it’s a two- way street. It’s the employer’s chance to judge you,but it’s also very much your chance to judge the employer. In fact,if you handle yourself well and ask the right questions,you’ll put the interviewer in the position of selling the company to you.If this happens, you’re probably doing well.Order:41.( )→42.

第二篇Harmless RevengeRevenge is one of those things that everyone enjoys.People don't like to talk about it,though.Just thesame,there is nothing more satisfying or more rewarding than revenge.The purpose is not to harm your vic-tims but to let them know that you are upset about something that they are doing to you.Careful plotting can provide you with relief from bothersome co-workers,gossiping friends,or nagging family members.Co-workers who make comments about the fact that you are always fifteen minutes late for work can be taken care of very simply.All you have to do is get up extra early one day.Before the sun comes up,drive to each coworker's house.Reach under the hood of your coworker's car and disconnect the center wire that leads to the distributor cap,the car will be unharmed,but it will not start,and your friends at work will all be late for work on the same day.If you're lucky,your boss might notice that you are the only one there and will give you a raise.Gossiping friends at school are also perfect targets for a simple act of revenge.A way to trap either male or female friends is to leave phony messages on their lockers.If the friend that you want to get is male,leave a message that a certain girl would like him to stop by her house later that day.With any luck,her boyfriend will be there.The girl won't know what's going on,and the victim will be so embarrassed that he probably won't leave his home for a month.When Mom and Dad and your sisters and brothers really begin to annoy you,harmless revenge may be just the way to make them quiet down for a while.The dinner table is a likely place.Just before the meal begins,throw a handful of raisins into the food.Wait about five minutes and,after everyone has begun to eat,cover your mouth with your hand and begin to make odd noises.When they ask you what the matter is, point to a raisin and yell,"Bugs!"They dump their food in the disposal,jump into the car,and head for McDonald'a.That night,you'll have your first quiet,peaceful meal in a long time.A well-planned revenge does not have to hurt anyone.The object is simply to let other people know thatthey are beginning to bother you.The main topic of the passage is how toA:avoid nagging family members B:silence gossiping friendsC:make a harmless revengeD:deal with bothersome coworkers

Above all know your audience and match what you say to their needs.Creating your presentation with your audience in mind will assure that your audience will follow you.If your presentation doesn't appeal to your audience-no matter how well you have developed your presentation--your presentation will fall on deaf ears.This leads us to the next rule:Know your material thoroughly.Your material needs to be second nature to you.Practice and rehearse your presentation with friends,in front of a mirror,and with colleagues.If you are speaking in a second language,make sure that you record yourself and listen to a number of times before going to practice with a native speaker(if possible).
Remember that you are an actor when presenting.Make sure that not only your physical appearance is appropriate to the occasion,but also the tone you use is well chosen.If your topic is serious,be solemn.However,it's always a good idea to begin your presentation with an ice-breaker.Don't worry about making friends,rather lead the audience through your materials in a calm and relaxed manner.Speak slowly and clearly,and remember to address everyone in the audience-even the person the farthest away from you.
To achieve the above goals follow these tips when giving your presentation:
●Speak with conviction.Believe what you are saying and you will persuade your audience.
●Do not read from notes.Referring to notes is fine,but do so only briefly.
●Maintain eye contact with your audience.Making direct eye contact with individuals will help them feel as if they are participating in your presentation.
●Bring handouts.Don't just use a PowerPoint presentation.Provide audience members with handouts of the most important materials so they can keep your most
important takeaways in mind.
●Know when to stop.This cannot be underestimated.You need to make your case,but continuing for too long will only ensure that the audience forgets what you have said.
Why should you know when to stop?A.Because you need res
B.Because audience may fall aslee
C.Because you may be tired for talking too lon

Five Ways to Win Over Everyone in the Office Is it possible to like everyone in your office?Think about how tough it is to get together 15 people,much less 50,who all get along perfectly.But unlike in friendships,you need coworkers.You work with them every day and you depend on them just as they depend on you.Here are some ways that you can get the whole office on your side 41.____If you have a bone to pick with someone in your workplace,you may try stay tight-lipped around them.But you won't be helping either one of you.A Harvard Business School study found that observers consistently rated those who were frank about themselves more highly,while those who hid lost trustworthiness.The lesson is not that you should make your personal life an open book,but rather,when given the option to offer up details about yourself or painstakingly conceal them,you should just be honest.42._____Just as important as being honest about yourself is being receptive to others.We often feel the need to tell others how we feel,whether it's a concern about a project,a stray thought,or a compliment.Those are all valid,but you need to take time to hear out your coworkers,too.In fact,rushing to get your own ideas out there can cause colleagues to feel you don't value their opinions.Do your best to engage coworkers in a genuine,back-and-forth conversation,rather than prioritizing your own thoughts.43._____It's common to have a“cubicle mate"or special confidant in a work setting.But in addition to those trusted coworkers,you should expand your horizons and find out about all the people around you.Use your lunch and coffee breaks to meet up with colleagues you don't always see.Find out about their lives and interests beyond the job.It requires minimal effort and goes a long way.This will help to gTow your internal network,in addition to being a nice break in the work day.44._____Positive feedback is important for anyone to hear.And you don't have to be someone's boss to tell them they did an exceptional job on a particular project.This will help engender good will in others.But don't overdo it or be fake about it.One study found that people responded best to comments that shifted from negative to positive,possibly because it suggested they had won somebody over.45.______This one may be a bit more difficult to pull off,but it can go a long way to achieving results.Remember in dealing with any coworker what they appreciate from an interaction.Watch out for how they verbalize with others.Some people like small talk in a meeting before digging into important matters,while other are more straightforward.Jokes that work one person won't necessarily land with another,So,adapt your style accordingly to type.Consider the person that you re dealing with in advance and what will get you to your desired outcome.44选?A.Give compliments,just not too many.B.Put on a good face,always.C.Tailor your interactions.D.Spend time with everyone.E.Reveal,don't hide,information.
F.Slow down and listen.
G.Put yourselves in others'shoes.

What may make you feel 10 years older than your real age?A.eating food on a daily basis.
B.often eating the improper foods.
C.biochemical reactions in your body.
D.starting to eat the right foods.

资料:No credit,bad credit Hear the terms often enough and they can blur together.These credit statuses aren’t one and the same,though.
Whether you have no credit or bad credit,one thing’s for sure:You don’t have good credit.And without good credit,you’ll face an uphill battle any time you apply for a loan or credit card.
Potential lenders will want to know that you will almost certainly repay any money that you borrow.They likely won’t risk loaning money or extending credit to those whose creditworthiness is a big question mark or,worse,who have a track record of poor money management.
If you fall into either of these categories,it’s smart to focus on raising your credit scores.
If you have no credit score,you don’t have a credit history.If you have bad credit,it’s likely that you’ve mishandled credit in the past.And these two less-than-ideal credit standings require different solutions.
If you fall in the no-credit category,you haven’t necessarily made any financial mistakes.In this case,a good way to start building that history is to acquire a credit card for people with no credit.Secured credit cards (which require a security deposit)or college student credit cards are typically the easiest to qualify for if you have no credit.A credit-builder loan can also help you establish credit.
Bad credit can be a result of financial missteps,including missing payments,defaulting on loans,or having accounts sent to collections.If you fall into this category and need credit,you’ll need to look for a bad-credit credit card.A secured card or credit-builder loan is a good option in this situation,as well.You also may qualify for a bad-credit personal loan.If you still have open accounts,pay down the balances but don’t close credit accounts if you can avoid it.
People with no credit are just starting to build their financial reputation,while those with bad credit are doing damage control.
Moving from one of these less desirable situations to a good credit standing may use different tools,but the method is much the same: Make your payments on time and keep your debt low.It takes diligence and dedication,but it can be done.
The main purpose of the passage is to______.A.teach people how to have credit accounts
B.suggest ways for people to keep good credit record
C.present a concern about people’s bad credit nowadays
D.explain the differences between no-credit and bad credit

Will it matter if you don’t take your breakfast Recently a test was given in the United States.Those tested included people of different ages,from 12 to 83.During the experiment,these people were given all kinds of breakfasts and sometimes they got no breakfast at all.Special tests were set up to see how well their bodies worked when they had eaten a certain kind of breakfast.The results sow that if a person eats a proper breakfast,he or she will work with better effect(影响)than if he or she has no breakfast.This fact appears to be especially true if a person works with his brains.If a student eats fruit,eggs,bread and milk before going to school,he will learn more quickly and listen with more attention in class.Contrary to(与……相反)what many people believe,if you don’t eat breakfast,you will not lose weight.This is because people become so hungry at noon that they eat too much for lunch,and end up gaining weight instead of losing.You will probably lose more weight if you reduce(减少)your other meals.
What is the best title of the passage A.How to Lose Weight
B.How to Save Breakfast
C.A scientific Experiment
D.Is Breakfast Necessary
