Question

阅读下面短文，根据短文内容完成句子。

Recently a TV programme Secret Boss caught my eye. The programme invites company directors (董事) to spend a week working in their own companies — as a new employee (雇员). And no one knows who the new person really is.

At the start of the programme, we met Amy Lowen, director of the big—name restaurant group, Caters. She would work at one of Caters’ restaurants in London. After just a few hours of training, Amy was serving customers. However, anyone who has done the same job knows that a busy restaurant isn’t an easy place to work at. Just minutes after starting on tables, Amy dropped a bowl of food, which made her very sad.

The programme is not just about finding problems, though. Amy said she was surprised at how hard—working some employees were. They worked long hours, but always stayed cheerful to even their most “difficult” customers.

One day Amy was very pleased when a customer left her a ₤20 tip (小费). “If I could get five or six more of these a day,” she said, “this wouldn’t be a badly paid job.” But minutes later, she felt surprised when the restaurant’s manager told her to give the money to the company. The company didn’t allow employees to keep tips over ₤10. It was a rule.

It isn’t difficult to guess how Secret Boss ends. Amy told others at the restaurant that she was the director of Caters. And then she told them she had decided to allow employees to keep all of their tips.

1.In the programme Secret Boss, company directors are invited to ________ for a week.

2.Amy had only ________ of training, and then she started work at a restaurant.

Answer
