?Look at the article below about getting along with the boss and following questions.
?For each question (13 - 18), mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet for the answer you choose.
Getting Along with the Boss
You know that a positive relationship with your work superiors is essential to your success. But how do you ensure you stay on their right side? Your boss holds 2 our future prospects in his or her hands. Expect very few favors from a boss who does not like you, Bad relationship with the boss also means missed advancement opportunities: it is one of the major reasons for high staff turnover. If you resign because of the boss. you may also expect a dent in your professional reputation, Imagine having to provide such an "ex" boss as the contact referral person at your next interview !
The relationship you have with your boss can be a major factor in determining your rise up the ladder. Your boss isn't only your supervisor. He or she is also the person best equipped (or should be I to help you do the job you are paid to do. He/she is privy to the company's goals and knows what the company is looking for in future executives. He/she can inform. you of company direction that may affect your future aspirations, He/she can put in a good word for you in the right eats. He/she is also your ally when you need back up, support or cooperation from other departments.
But how does this help you establish a meaningful working relationship with your boss? The key is communication. Know your boss' priorities and try to anticipate his/her needs before he/she asks. Don't think narrowly in terms of your own immediate position. Try to understand where what you do ties in with the bigger picture.
What other things can you discover about your boss? Is he/she conservative or informal? Does he/she prefer to be greeted as Mr. Ms. Miss or Mrs. or prefer first names? Is his/hers an "open door" policy or does he/she prefers you setting appointments with them? Respect your boss' time. Never barge into their office expecting or demanding an hearing immediately. Does he/she prefer to be kept informed with progress reports, or prefer you show initiative and get on with the job?
Don't be a "yes man" and don't offer false flattery in the hope of' getting somewhere. It won't work! And don't aim for "closeness" in the working relationship because this can also backfire. If your boss depends upon you too much. he/she won't recommend you for promotions because you are needed too much where you are. Another possibility is that if he/ she is not a good manager, he/she may be given their marching orders. If you are seen to be a part of his/her management mishaps, you may be marching out the door with him/her! Do what you can to stay in his/her good books. Don't take "sickies" unless you are sick! Be an effective, cooperative, responsible and courteous employee and team player.
It is possible that you are already these things, and you are working for somebody whose management style. disagrees with your needs or expectations. Maybe friction cannot be avoided. Then, you may be better off looking for a new job in a new department or company. In short, getting along with your boss entails getting to know his/her likes and dislikes and learning to work with his/her personality and management style. And the upside about mastering communication and people skills with your own boss is that one day, those skills will pay off in your own management role with your own team.
The writer says that a bad relationship with your boss may result in all of the following except
A.less favors from your boss.
B.the loss of your job.
C.a dent in your reputation.
D.the loss of your opportunities for promotion.
A.I don’t expect to see her here
B.I didn’t expect to see her here

M: Do you mean that she doesn't seem ready for college? Then you'd better have a serious talk with her about college. To my mind it's quite normal for girls of her age to show a lot of interests in fashion and dating, but as a mother you have a right to expect her to pay attention to her studies too. You should ask her how serious she is about college and how hard she's willing to work for it. Jane may be much firmer than you realize. But if not, tell her she should think about putting college off for a while. That could give her the push she needs to take her education seriously. And if you decide she should wait, she can get a job or take classes at a community college. She may be just one of those who need to see a bit of real life before they settle down.
W: Sounds like a good idea.
What's the woman's problem?
A.Her daughter shows no interest in going to college.
B.Her daughter is not interested in her studies and has poor grades.
C.Her daughter does not think going to college: is the best choice for her.
D.Her daughter wants to get a job.

B: Yes. They made him stop working after 50 years at sea. He's pretty upset about it, but what can you do? He has to accept that.
A: He's all alone, isn't he?
B: Yes. His wife's been dead for years. They had one daughter, Doris, but she went off to town as soon as she left school, and he hasn't heard from her since. I hear she's making good money as a model.
A: Maybe someone should get in touch with her, get her to come back for a bit to help?
B: I don't suppose she'd come. She never got on with her father. He's a bit of a tough character, and she's as selfish as before. Oh, I expect old Jake will get by. He's healthy at least, comes into the clinic for a check regularly.
A: Are you his doctor?
B: No. My colleague, Dr. Thomas is.
A: That bad-tempered old man?
B: Oh, no. Dr. Thomas is not really bad-tempered. He just looks like it. He's an excellent doctor. He teaches me a lot. And he has a very nice family--his wife invites me over there to supper every week, very pleasant.
A: I know his daughter, a bit careless but bright and popular with her age-group.
B: I like that little girl, too.

听力原文: At the theater, she disrupts the first act as she climbs over your knees toward her seat. When your doorbell rings on a Saturday night, long after your other guests have begun eating, you know he has arrived for dinner. At work, you don't expect her at your 9:00 a.m. meeting.
They are the latecomers and it doesn't matter if they wear a watch or use an alarm dock. Lateness is their way of life.
Chronic lateness has spoiled friendships, and a habit that has caused people to lose their job. Why, then, are so many people late?
"Not arriving on time can be a form. of avoidance," says Dr. Richard Kravitz, a psychiatrist at Yale New Haven Medical Center in Connecticut. "You are late for a party, or coming home from work, because you don't want to be where you're supposed to be." Other reasons for chronic lateness are more complex. Dr. Kravitz suggests that some latecomers know that their lateness will cause anger, and this serves their deep need to be punished. Alternatively, some latecomers have a tendency to force someone to wait, which is a way of expressing anger or resentment.
As for those of us who wait, if we can set limits as to how long we will stay before leaving when appropriate, we can make our anger known. And though it is true that being prompt can be as compulsive as being late, Shakespeare advised this: "Better three hours too soon than a minute too late."
