We chat with our colleagues all the time when we have lunch, gossip in the tearo

题型：不详难度：来源：
We chat with our colleagues all the time when we have lunch, gossip in the tearoom, or leave work together. Sharing your personal life brings you closer to your coworkers and builds trust within your team. But revealing too much about yourself to colleagues, managers or human resources staff can cause difficulties and even endanger your work.
It"s important to keep the right balance between getting along with colleagues and maintaining your privacy. “Communication in the office is tricky and complicated. You can neither spread chatter, nor be too silent and shut yourself off from others，” said Yang Yudan, deputy HR director at P&G.
According to her, there are several safe topics to talk about with colleagues during the break, such as the weather or movies. Women like to talk about makeup and clothing, while men are fond of sports and online games. But discussing your private life, such as relationship, habits or health conditions, is a potential minefield.
Liang Kun, 26, had to resign from his job at a trading company in Guangzhou last week after discussing his income with colleagues during a lunch break. “I didn"t realize it was such a serious issue until a senior member of staff went to find the boss, asking why I got a higher salary than her，” said Liang. “Then our HR told me that according to the employee handbook it is forbidden to talk about salary in the office.” HR expert Yang also reminds us that paychecks are your own business. It is unwise to share this information with others, no matter how close you are.
To summarize, Yang advises office workers to be more aware of the image they project when talking to colleagues, “When you share your personal life, it will be recorded on your invisible resume and may slow down your career progressing.”
小题1:The author quoted Yang Yudan in the text to ________.
A．show his admiration for her
B．make an argument with her

A．It was unwise for him to share information with others.
B．He broke the rules made by the company.
C．He was such an honest person that he told the truth.
D．He treated his colleagues as family members.
小题3:What is the author"s purpose in writing the text?
A．To draw people"s attention to their behaviors in public.
B．To advise office workers to be aware of the image they project.
C．To make you believe that communication in the office is complicated.
D．To warn you to be careful of invisible trouble while talking about your privacy to colleagues.

A．At Work, Keep It to Yourself
B．Keep the Right Balance
C．Share Your Personal Life with Others
D．Safe Topics to Talk about

小题3:答案：D　写作目的题。文章的最后一段总结全文，根据最后一句的“...‘When you share your personal life，it will be recorded on your invisible resume and may slow down your career progressing.’”可知，作者写本文的目的是提醒公司的员工留意因讨论私人生活而可能带来的负面影响。故答案选D项。

It"s such a happy­looking library, painted yellow, decorated with palm­tree stickers and sheltered from the Florida sun by its own roof. About the size of a microwave oven, it"s pedestrian­friendly, too, waiting for book lovers next to a sidewalk in Palm Beach Country Estates, along the northern boundary of Palm Beach Gardens.
It"s a library built with love.
A year ago, shortly after Janey Henriksen saw a Brian Williams report about the Little Free Library organization, a Wisconsin­based nonprofit that aims to promote literacy and build a sense of community in a neighborhood by making books freely available, she announced to her family of four, “That"s what we"re going to do for our spring break！”
Son Austin, now a 10th­grader, didn"t see the point of building a library that resembles a mailbox. But Janey insisted, and husband Peter unwillingly got to work. The 51­year­old owner of a ship supply company modified a small wooden house that he"d built years earlier for daughter Abbie"s toy horses, and made a door of glass.
After adding the library"s final touches(装点), the family hung a signboard on the front, instructing users to “take a book, return a book，” and making the Henriksen library, now one of several hundred like it nationwide and among more than 2,500 in the world, the only Little Free Library in Palm Beach County.
They stocked it with 20 or so books they"d already read, a mix of science fiction, reference titles, novels and kids" favorites. “I told them, keep in mind that you might not see it again，” said Janey, a stay­at­home mom.
Since then, the collection keeps replenishing(补充) itself, thanks to ongoing donations from borrowers. The library now gets an average of five visits a day.
The project"s best pay­off, says Peter, are the thank­you notes left behind. “We had no idea in the beginning that it would be so popular.”
小题1:In what way is the library “pedestrian­friendly”？
A．It owns a yellow roof.
B．It stands near a sidewalk.
C．It protects book lovers from the sun.
D．It uses palm­tree stickers as decorations.
小题2:Janey got the idea to build a library from ________.
A．a visit to Brian Williams
B．a spring break with her family
C．a book sent by one of her neighbors
D．a report on a Wisconsin­based organization
小题3:The library was built ________.
A．by a ship supply company
B．on the basis of toy horses
C．like a mailbox
D．with glass
小题4:What can we infer from the signboard?
A．It was made by a user of the library.
B．It marked a final touch to the library.
C．It aimed at making the library last long.
D．It indicated the library was a family property.
小题5:The passage tells us that the users ________.
A．donate books to the library
B．get paid to collect books for the library
C．receive thank­you notes for using the library
D．visit the library over 5 times on average daily

When the ____ started, he went to one end of the tightrope, ____ straight at the goal ahead, with open arms, walking slowly step by step to the opposite side of the mountain. Immediately, the audience ____ loud applause.
“If my hands dare tied, do you believe I can ____？” he asked the audience.
____， some people didn"t believe, but in order to know the ___， they said, “We believe you！”

He looked around and said, “If I"m blindfolded(蒙着眼睛的) with my hands tied, do you ____ believe I can go past？”
This time, the people said without ____， “We believe you！”
In this way, his eyes were ____ with a black cloth. He moved slowly to the tightrope and walked along it inch by inch. This time, he went past once again. The audience burst into ____.
Then, he ____ a child and asked all the people, “If I put him on my shoulders ___ I"m blindfolded with my hands tied as well, do you still believe I can make it？”
All the people replied before ____， “We believe you！”
“I ask you again. Do you really believe me？”
“Yes, we believe you completely！”
Then, he said, “Well then, since you believe me, ____ my child with yours. Who will？”
All of a sudden, the audience fell ____. The silence lasted for nearly ten minutes.
After ten minutes, the acrobatic master said nothing, just put the child on his shoulders and walked past along the tightrope. Sure enough, this time he ____ once more.
