For them, the temperature is never right, the boss is always a fool, the canteen food is awful, and they (21) _ (treat) unf
3、airly.Career experts say such habitual complainers are highly contagious(会蔓延的) , (22) _ attitude can easily affect an entire team in a company. “While some complaints might be reasonable, (23) _ are taken from thin air. You need to see between these different types and adopt the right strategy towar

If you do, it will hurt your co-workers and you might be isolated. In a team-based company you belong to a group and n
5、eed to behave accordingly. But dont show too much sympathy. Listening passively to others complaints could damage your image and give others the impression (25) _ you agree with them. “Listen to the whiners actively,” said HR Li. “Help them find a solution, or see (26) _ there are ways to improve th
6、e situation.”Zhai Min, 24, a software engineer at Kingdee International Software Group in Shenzhen, found that 3 elderly workers liked to complain about everything, from (27) _ (extend) working hours to cheap hotels on business trips. “I let them talk about their opinions,” she said, “They feel bett

His co-workers always complain that their computer systems are not working properly. “I ask about the specifics and work togeth
8、er with them (29) _ (fix) everything technically.” he said.HR managers believe that when staffs complain, it is more a matter of recognition than an actual problem. “The real problem is that the whiners dont feel they are being taken seriously,” said Xu Jun, HR manager at Guangqi Honda Automobile Co

10、istake E. required F. critical G. cheating H. ashamed I. identify J. confirm K. similar We are each responsible for our own decisions, even if the decision-making process has been cut down by stress or peer pressure. The real test of character is whether we can learn from our 31 , by understanding w
11、hy we acted as we did, and then exploring ways to avoid 32 problems in the future.Making ethical （伦理的）decisions is a(n) 33 part of avoiding future problems. We must learn to recognize risks, because if we cant see the risks were taking, we cant make responsible choices. To 34 risks, we need to know
12、the rules and be aware of the facts. For example, one who doesnt know the rules about plagiarism (剽窃) may accidentally use words or ideas without giving proper credit or one who fails to keep careful research notes may unintentionally fail to quote and cite sources as 35 . But the fact that such a v
13、iolation is “unintentional” does not excuse the misconduct. Ignorance is not a 36 .Most people who get in trouble do know the rules and facts, but manage to fool themselves about the risks theyre taking by using excuses: “Everyone else does it,” “Im not hurting anyone,” or “I really need this grade.
14、” Excuses can get very complex: “I know Im looking at anothers exam, even though Im supposed to keep my eyes on my own paper, but thats not 37 because Im just checking my answers, not copying.” We must be honest about our actions, and 38 excuses. If we fool ourselves into 39 were not doing anything
15、wrong, we cant see the real choice were making-and that leads to bad decisions.To avoid fooling yourself, watch out for excuses and try this test: Ask how you would feel if your actions were public, and anyone could be watching over your shoulder. Would you feel proud or 40 of your actions? If youd
16、rather hide your actions, thats a good indication that youre taking a risk and rationalizing it to yourself.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that bes
17、t fits the context.Migrant workersIn the past twenty years, there has been an increasing tendency for workers to move from one country to another. While some newly independent countries have 41 most jobs to local people, others have attracted and welcomed migrant workers. This is particularly the 42
18、 in the Middle East, where increased oil incomes have enabled many countries to 43 outsiders to improve local facilities. Thus the Middle East has attracted oil-workers from the USA and Europe. It has brought in construction workers and technicians from many countries, including South Korea and Japa
19、n.In view of the 44 living and working conditions in the Middle East, surprising it is not that the pay is high to attract suitable workers. Many engineers and technicians can earn at least twice as much money in the Middle East as they can in their own country, and this is a 45 attraction. An allie
20、d (联合的) benefit is the low 46 or a complete lack of it. This 47 the amount of pay received by visiting workers and is very popular with them.Sometimes a disadvantage has a compensating (补偿的) advantage. 48 , the difficult living conditions often lead to increased friendship when workers have to depen
21、d on each other for safety and comfort. 49 , many migrant workers can save large sum of money partly because of the lack of entertainment facilities. The work is often complex and full of problems but this merely presents greater 50 to engineers who prefer to find solutions to problems rather than d
22、o 51 work in their home country. One major problem which affects migrant workers in the Middle East is that their jobs are 52 ones. They are nearly always on contract, so it is not easy for them to plan ahead with great confidence. This is to be 53 since no country welcomes a large number of foreign
23、 workers as permanent residents. In any case, migrant workers accept this 54 , along with others, because of the 55 financial benefits which they receive.41.

27、sage you have just read.(A)Forty-three years ago, a man took a “small step” on the moon and brought mankind a “giant leap” forward. As the first person to walk on the moon, American astronaut Neil Armstrong is a man whose name will be remembered for generations to come.But being the first is never e
28、asy. With so many unknowns about space at that time, Armstrong himself was surprised that Apollo 11 actually worked. He thought he and his partners had only a 50 percent chance of a successful landing back in 1969.It was tough indeed. When the module (登月舱) was approaching the moons surface, the comp
29、uter wanted to rest them on a steep slope covered with rocks, but Armstrong realized it was an unsafe place to stop.As a last minute decision, he safely landed the module by himself.

30、lier this year.Unfortunately, some people doubted his visit to the moon, saying it was faked. But Armstrong responded with a chuckle (轻声笑), saying: “It was never a concern to me because I knew one day, somebody was going to go fly back up there and pick up that camera I left.”For all his global fame
31、, Neil Armstrong is a remarkably modest man. He rarely gave interviews and didnt like talking about his achievement.

32、账簿) of our daily work,” Armstrong said in a CBS interview in 2005. When asked how he felt knowing his footprints would be likely to stay on the moons surface for thousands of years, he said: “I kind of hope that somebody goes up there one of these days and cleans them up.”Armstrong passed away last
33、month at the age of 82, but he will be remembered. “The next time you walk outside on a clear night and see the moon smiling down at you, think of Neil Armstrong and give him a wink (眨眼示意),” his family said to Reuters.56.
