Having good etiquette (礼节) at the workplace is very important to be a favorite in an office. However, it's observed that many people aren't aware of the workplace etiquette and this creates a very bad impression in the office. So it's important to know some workplace etiquette tips.

Among all the workplace etiquette guidelines, the most important is to be punctual to your office. Though going late due to an emergency is okay, habitual late comers are never appreciated in any organization.

A knowledge of telephone etiquette in the workplace is very important as well. While talking on the telephone, be polite and listen to what they're saying carefully. Only then should you say what you feel. Speak in a voice which would be heard clearly at the other end.

The workplace guidelines are important even while you're dining or celebrating with your co-workers. If you get a call in between, receive it after you're permitted by the others by saying \me\Don't talk loudly while eating. Greeting people well and try to make them feel comfortable while, being in your company. These guidelines will help you become the best employee of a company.

No one else knew about the extra club （高尔夫球杆） in Zach Nash's golf bag．It belonged to a friend, and Zach forgot it was there as he played his way to victory in a junior tournament （锦标赛） this summer in Wisconsin, US． The 14-year-old accepted his medal, and celebrated with grandparents who had come from a long way to watch．But when he stopped by his country club to share the news, a professional player noticed something wrong．\． Fifteen—one more than allowed．Zach's eyes filled with tears． If Zach had just won a basketball championship or a soccer game and someone had discovered an offence after the win, it would not have mattered． Bending the rules has become acceptable, if not encouraged, in many sports．It is nothing unusual for soccer players to dive to the turf （假摔） in hopes of drawing fouls （造成对方犯规）．

Golf is different．In a win-at-all-costs world, the game holds itself to a higher standard． Golf isn't a game where referees watch closely．In golf tournaments, dozens of competitors are spread across acres of land, so officials cannot hope to see each shot．Competitors call penalties on themselves． Players feel the weight of history．Golf dates to at least the 15th century, but it became popular as a pastime （消遣） for the wealthy who seemed to have strict codes for every occasion, even when it came to shooting at each other in fights． \．They cared about doing the right thing,\York． Honesty became a symbol of honor．When one of the game's early stars, Bobby Jones, was praised for calling a penalty on himself at the 1925 US Open．He replied: \praise a man for not robbing a bank．\ So even the error had no effect on Zach's final score—he never used the extra club．The teenager packed up his medal and dropped it in the mail．\．I just knew what I had to do,\． Then came another tournament．Before teeing off, Zach counted his clubs—four times． 66．How many clubs is a player allowed to take along in a golf tournament?

It is pretty much a one-way street. While it may be common for university researchers to try their luck in the commercial world, there is very little traffic in the opposite direction. Pay has always been the biggest deterrent, as people with families often feel they cannot afford the drop in salary when moving to a university job. For some industrial scientists, however, the attractions of academia (学术界) outweigh any financial considerations.

Helen Lee took a 70% cut in salary when she moved from a senior post in Abbott Laboratories to a medical department at the University of Cambridge. Her main reason for returning to academia mid-career was to take advantage of the greater freedom to choose research questions. Some areas of inquiry have few prospects of a commercial return, and Lee’s is one of them.

The impact of a salary cut is probably less severe for a scientist in the early stages of a career. Guy Grant, now a research associate at the Unilever Centre for Molecular Informatics at the University of Cambridge, spent two years working for a pharmaceutical (制药的) company before returning to university as a post-doctoral researcher. He took a 30% salary cut but felt it worthwhile for the greater intellectual opportunities.

Higher up the ladder, where a pay cut is usually more significant, the demand for scientists with a wealth of experience in industry is forcing universities to make the transition (转换) to academia more attractive, according to Lee. Industrial scientists tend to receive training that academics do not, such as how to build a multidisciplinary team, manage budgets and negotiate contracts. They are also well placed to bring something extra to the teaching side of an academic role that will help students get a job when they graduate, says Lee, perhaps experience in manufacturing practice or product development. “Only a small number of undergraduates will continue in an academic career. So someone leaving university who already has the skills needed to work in an industrial lab has far more potential in the job market than someone who has spent all their time on a narrow research project.”

71. By “a one-way street” in Paragraph One, the author means ________. A. university researchers know little about the commercial world B. there is little exchange between industry and academia C. few industrial scientists would quit to work in a university D. few university professors are willing to do industrial research

72.The underlined word “deterrent” most probably refers to something that ________.

A. keeps someone from taking action B. helps to move the traffic C. attracts people’s attention D. brings someone a financial burden

73. What was Helen Lee’s major consideration when she changed her job in the middle of her

career?

A. Flexible work hours. B. Her research interests.

C. Her preference for the lifestyle on campus. D. Prospects of academic accomplishments. 74. Guy Grant chose to work as a researcher at Cambridge in order to ________.

A.. do financially more rewarding work B. raise his status in the academic world C. enrich his experience in medical research D. exploit better intellectual opportunities 75. What contribution can industrial scientists make when they come to teach in a university? A. Increase its graduates’ competitiveness in the job market. B. Develop its students’ potential in research.

C. Help it to obtain financial support from industry. D. Gear its research towards practical applications.

第II卷 （共35分）

第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分35分）

第一节： 阅读表达（共5题，每题2分，满分10分）

阅读下面短文，并根据短文后的要求答题 (请注意问题后的词数要求)。 When you are far away from home for the first time and have a lot to adjust to，you can't do it alone. However independent you are，it is good to have a roommate during your first year.

Living with someone helps ease your loneliness. Sure it may seem appealing to be able to play your music and turn up your TV as loud as you want, but coming home to an empty room every day can be depressing. If you have a bad day, you may want to talk to someone.

Friends are great sources of venting (宣泄), but friends can't always be there. Even worse, they may be self-centered and show no interest in your problem. It's not that roommates aren't like

this, but even just small talk can help you feel better.

Having a roommate teaches you how to get along with people and settle conflict. You two should set up rules immediately and discuss what to do when there is conflict. If you two don't like each other，you still study，relax，and sleep in the same room. You must find a way to get along. Finally，having a roommate exposes (使接触) you to different ways of living. Your roommate may come from a different city，and have different living habits. He or she also has different interests and personalities. You don't have to end up liking the same things your roommate does，but_______________________. You will be surrounded by many different people in college and have the chance to try things you never have before. Why not start learning from your roommate？

Having a roommate gives you the skills and personal background you will need to utilize (利用) when you are out on your own. Make the most of living with a stranger and besides，there will be plenty of opportunities for you to have your own room later in your college years. 76. What is the main purpose of writting the text. (no more than 10 words) 77 Complete the following statement with proper words. (no more than 8 words).

Even if you can__________, you can still benefit from the freshmen sharing the same dormitory with you.

A Ten-minute Break

As a Senior Three student, time seems much limited. As a result, more and more students try to study from early morning till late afternoon, even during the ten-minute break.

In my opinion, to take a ten-minute break between classes is definitely necessary. Otherwise we will feel tired both physically and mentally. During the ten-minute break, we do something to get rid of tiredness. What we need is to have a real rest, instead of getting more tired. So doing nothing tiring in that period is really good for us.

My ten-minute break is always pleasing. Sometimes I do some simple exercises. Sometimes I have a free chat with my classmates or just take a walk outside. When the next class begins, I feel fresh again.

Experience tells me that making progress needs a thorough and persevering process, but we all know people who can’t find time for recreation are obliged sooner or later to fail.
