Nobody likes to think they are “that guy” at work. 1.. So, what are some of the rudest things that people do at work — and why shouldn’t you do them?
Behaving in an unacceptable way
The most common form of this is eating smelly foods at lunchtime. Other things alike include body smell and its opposite, the wearing of strong perfume, messy desks, or bad breath. 2..
Checking email on your phone when you’re talking to other people
A recent survey shows that 49 percent of people said their bosses checked their phones while talking with them. 3.. If you’ve ever wondered why your team members are unmotivated, this may be why. In fact, when you’re talking to someone at work, you should reject any non-important calls.
4.
Do you like the sound of your own voice? Great. Perhaps it’s time you learned to like the sound of other people’s voices too. If you interrupt others when they speak, they’ll dislike you and discount whatever you’re saying. And if you routinely take up three quarters of the meeting with your monologues(独角戏), people will turn off and, quite rightly, start checking email on their phones. However, if you listen to what others say and show interest by asking intelligent questions, they’ll love you and be likely to give you their support when you speak.
● Showing off how much you earn
5.. If you show off your income to someone and then discover you get less than them, you’ll look like a fool. If you earn more, they’ll feel tired of you. So keep them guessing and hide your earning power in quiet ways — like always paying for the team coffees.
A. Talking all the time
B. Being a good listener
C. Team-working can never be ignored
D. All these things will become part of your personal brand
E. It’s better to be modest when you talk about your incomes
F. Bad behavior at work is common — and often we do it without thinking
G. An interesting email is more valuable than the person you are actually talking to

Poverty is not first thing that comes to mind when you think of Japan.After all, there are no
children begging on the streets in major cities here.You do not often see Japanese citizens publicly letting out their complaints over the country’s economic decline.But senior government researcher Aya Abe says Japan has the fourth highest rate of child poverty among developed countries.
She says she sees that poverty in schools where students admit to only bathing once a
week.Some cannot afford to buy pencils for class.
“They may not be on the streets begging or they may not be turning into criminals,but it’s
there.It’s just that we have to open our eyes and see,” Abe said.
Abe owes the increase in child poverty to the country’s changing demographics(人口统计),
struggling economy and high social security premiums(保险费).She says fewer people live in three-generation households, where the parents and grandparents work.The number of single mothers has increased.The salary for young fathers has declined with the economic downturn.Social security premiums have increased in the last 20 years, putting families on the edge of poverty.
Abe says studies conducted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development
(OECD ) point to rising poverty in Japan before the global economic crises in 2008.But the Japanese government and the public refused to acknowledge it until then partly because of the shame associated with poverty.
“It was very unpopular for Japanese media to say anything about Japanese poverty,” said
Abe.“Even though OECD Japan announced it in Japanese, Japanese media didn’t make it into the articles.”
Abe says new Prime Minister Yukio Hatoyama has taken one important step to help alleviate
(缓解) the problem.Next year, his Democratic Party of Japan plans to double monthly child care allowances given to families.
But Abe wants the government to expand its financial help even more.She wants it to simplify
the process to apply for public assistance and provide educational grants for students struggling to pay for tuition at high schools and colleges.The country now only offers loans.
Abe also says the government must act quickly because she says the problem will only get
worse in the next few years.
1.The passage is intended to _______.
A.report the result of the studies conducted by OECD
B.tell us about the increase in Japanese child poverty
C.prove that Japan is no longer a developed country
D.introduce Aya Abe, a senior government researcher
2.It seems to be hard to associate Japan with poverty because _______.
A.no children are seen begging in the streets of main cities in Japan
B.its citizens never complain about the country’s economic decline
C.it is one of the few wealthiest countries in the world
D.its government and public refused to acknowledge it
3.According to Abe, several things contribute to the rising child poverty except_______.
A.high social security premiums
B.the increase of the number of single mothers
C.the decrease of the salary for young fathers
D.the expansion of three-generation households
4.Why was it unpopular for Japanese media to say anything about Japanese poverty?
A.The Japanese public didn’t think it true.
B.It was forbidden by the Japanese government.
C.The Japanese public regarded it shameful to be poor.
D.OECD Japan had already announced it in Japanese.
5.Which of the following is NOT the author’s suggestion for alleviating this problem?
A.Doubling monthly child care allowances given to families.
B.Expanding government’s financial help even more.

高三英语单项填空中等难度题查看答案及解析
Do you ever wonder how some things came about? For instance, who figured out that there was something worth eating inside a banana peel? Or how astonishing do you have to be to discover that an artichoke has edible parts? Well, we may not know how either of those foods was discovered, but we do know how potato chips were invented.
Potato chips originated in New England as one man’s variation on the French-fried potatoes, and their production was the result not of a sudden inspiration of cooking invention but of a fit of annoyance.
It was the summer of 1853 and Commodore Vanderbilt, a wealthy railroad magnate, was vacationing at a hotel named Moon Lake Lodge in New York. On the restaurant menu were French-fried potatoes, prepared in the thick-cut French style that was popularized in France in the 1700s and enjoyed by Thomas Jefferson as ambassador to that country.
At dinner one night, Vanderbilt complained that his French-fried potatoes were cut too thick and sent them back to the kitchen. Offended by his snobby guest, chef George Crum decided he would give Mr. Vanderbilt exactly what he asked for! He decided to annoy the guest by producing French fries too thin and crisp. The chef angrily gathered up some potatoes and sliced them paper-thin. He threw the slices into hot oil to fry, drained and salted them and then personally served the new dish to Mr. Vanderbilt.
Surprised to see the chef in the dining room, the other diners fell into silence and everyone held their breath, waiting for Vanderbilt’s reaction.
Vanderbilt immediately popped a crisp potato slice into his mouth and the loud “Crunch” broke the silence. He continued to crunch away, delighted with his new dish. The plan backfired. Vanderbilt was interested in the browned, paper-thin potatoes. Clapping a surprised Chef Crum on the back, Vanderbilt praised him on the impressive potatoes. And other diners requested Crum’s potato chips, which began to appear on the menu as “Saratoga Chips”, a house specialty. Soon they were packaged and sold, first locally, then throughout the New England area. Crum eventually opened his own restaurant, featuring chips. At that time, potatoes were peeled and sliced by hand. It was the invention of the mechanical potato peeler in the 1920s that paved the way for potato chips to rise quickly from a small specialty item to a top-selling snack food.
