29、ne wants to look silly or do the wrong thing at a new job. It is important to make the right impression（印象）from the very 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 five tips to help you make it through the first day in a new job:

30、 First impression can last forever. Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day, find out if your new job has a dress code (rules about what you can wear to work). If so, be sure to follow it. No matter what, always be neat and clean. Get to work on time. Give yourself an extra 15 minutes t

31、o make sure you arrive on time. Pay attention to introductions. You may be introduced to your workmates. They will be important to you. They are the ones who will answer your questions when the boss is not around. Ask plenty of questions. Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected

32、of you. If you are not told your duties, ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals for yourself. Never be the first one to leave. Watch what others do at the end of work hours. It does not look good for you to be eager(急切的) to leave. 4. What does the writer think you should do on your first-day wor

33、k ? A. We should dress in a right way. B. We should learn how to introduce ourselves. C. We should know our duties. D. We should know our workmates well. 5. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? A. You should be the first one to arrive at work. B. You should ask your wo

34、rkmates for your duties. C. You should not be eager to go back home at the end of work hours. D. You are required to arrive 15 minutes earlier. 6. From the passage, your supervisor is most likely your _. A. visitor B. teacher C. workmate D. leader CIs your mobile phone directory full of phone number

35、s of people you dont really want to talk to? Do you go out with people from work or school more often than with your real friends? Do you say “yes” to invitations because you think you should, not because you want to? If you answered yes to at least two of these questions, then perhaps you need to “

36、edit your friends”. Nowadays people like to spend a lot of time with people at work or classmates at school. The result is that we dont have enough time to see our real, close friends. As our lives get busier, it becomes more important to spend the little free time we have with people we really want

37、 to see, people we love and who really love us.Who are the friends you need to edit? A few years ago, I read a book about how to get rid of unnecessary possessions (物品). It said you should ask yourself about each thing you have: Is it useful? Do I like it? Do I feel better every time I look at it? I

38、f the answer is no to any of those questions, you should throw it away. Maybe we should ask similar questions about our friends. What kind of friends will you probably need to edit? Sometimes its an old friend. Somebody who you used to have a lot in common with, but who, when you meet now, you have

39、very little or nothing to say to. Or it might be a new friend who you get on quite well with, but who is taking up too much of your time. Next time one of these people calls you and suggests a meeting, think “Do I really want to see this person?” and if the answer is no, say no, and make an excuse.

40、In that way youll have more time to spend with your real friends.7. When do people need to edit their friends?A. They have moved to a different area.B. They have no time with their real friendC. Some of their friends dont talk very much.D. Their friends are people from work or school.8. Which kind o

41、f friends dont people need to edit?A. Real friends.B. Old friends.C. Young friends.D. New friends.9. What does the word “edit” in the passage mean?A. Examine and choose.B. Believe and help.C. Miss and see.D. Call and meet.10. What does the writer want to tell us in Paragraph 3?A. We should often thr

42、ow some possessions.B. Most of our friends are not necessary at all.C. We shouldnt treat our friends as possessions.D. We should ask ourselves who our real friends are. DEach year Ben is glad when school is closed on Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Ben knows that this day honours an important man, but B

43、en does not feel connected to him. However, the small-world theory (理论) connects Ben to Dr. King. Bens mom has a close friend, Amy. Amys uncle, Mark, once met and spoke to John Carter, the son of President Jimmy Carter. Jimmy Carter knew Dr. King. In a way, Ben is only “five people away” from Martin

44、 Luther King Jr.The small-world theory says that everyone in the world is connected through a short chain (链条) of people they know. Another name of this chain is degrees of separation. Each degree is a step that separates a person from someone he or she does not know. There are zero degrees of separ

45、ation between a person and the people he or she knows directly. This means that there are zero degrees between Ben and his mom. There is one degree of separation when just one person separates someone from a person he or she does not know. Ben knew his mom but he hasnt met her close friend Amy. Ther

46、efore Ben is one degree away from Amy. As the chain continues Amys uncle Mark is two degrees. John Carter is three degrees and his father is four degrees. Dr. King is five degrees away from Ben. The theory says that there are no more than six degrees of separation between any two people in the world

47、. The small-world theory has a lot to do with math. The theory assumes (假定) that each person knows 100 people. Each one of those 100 people knows 50 different people. Each of those 50 people knows another 50 people and so on. When someone continues the calculation（计算） to six degrees it is like this:

48、 1005050505050 = 31.25 10 .This number is greater than 31 billion (a billion = a thousand million). There are over 6 billion people in the world. These numbers show it is possible that six degrees of separation could include everyone in the world.Does the small-world theory work? No one has ever pro

49、ved it. Maybe the theory just invites people to think a little more about their places in the world.11. After reading the article, do you think what connects Ben to Dr. King?A. Bens mom and her friend, AmyB. the small-world theoryC. Bens schoolD. Martin Luther King Jr. Day12. Ben is four degrees awa

50、y from _.A. Jimmy CarterB. John CarterC. AmyD. Mark13. What is the meaning of “degrees of separation” in Paragraph 2?A. The chain to connect people.B. The relations between people.C. The steps of knowing strangers.D. The separation between strangers.14. What is the small-world theory mainly about?A.

51、 How far Ben is away from Dr. King.B. How many people one can get to know.C. How people are connected in the world.D. How the degrees of separation are set up.15. We can learn from the article that _.A. the small-world theory worksB. more research is needed to prove the theoryC. six degrees are need
