Question

    “Hire me! I’ll do the best for your company,” Lucas Stewart, with a sign on his back, shouted loudly on Bay Street in Toronto. Now it’s becoming more and more difficult to find a job. Do you want not to look foolish or do the wrong things at your new job?

It is important to make the right impression（印象）from the very first day. You will be in a new place. You will face new people. It may be difficult to know what to do. Here are five tips to help you make it through the first day at a new job.

First impression can last forever. Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day, find out if your new job has rules about what you can wear to work. If so, be sure to follow them. No matter what, always be neat and clean.

Get to work on time. Give yourself an extra（额外的）15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time. Pay attention to introductions. One of the first things that your supervisor may do is to introduce you to your co-workers. These co-workers will be important to you. They are the ones who will answer your questions when the boss is not around.

Ask questions. Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you. If he or she has not told you about your duties, ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals（目标）for yourself.

Never be the first one to leave. Look at what your co-workers do. It does not look good for you to be eager to leave.

【解析】

本文讲述了可以帮助你度过新工作的第一天的五个小贴士。

1.细节理解题。根据第三段中“Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day, find out if your new job has rules about what you can wear to work.”可知，在你上班之前，你要根据工作的要求打扮得体。故选A。

2.细节理解题。You should be the first to arrive at work.你应该是第一个来上班的。根据第四段中“Give yourself an extra（额外的）15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time.”可知，你要确保你准时上班，而不是第一个来上班的，所以A项表述错误。You should ask your co-workers for your duties.你应该向你的同事询问你的工作职责。根据第五段中“Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you. If he or she has not told you about your duties, ask for a list.”可知，是你的上司告诉你工作的职责，而不是你的同事，所以B项表述错误。You should not be eager to leave at the end of the day.你不应该在一天结束的时候急着离开。根据最后一段中“It does not look good for you to be eager to leave.”可知，一天结束后，急着离开可不是什么好事，所以你不应该急着离开，所以C项表述正确。You are required to arrive 15minutes earlier.你被要求提前十五分钟到达。根据第四段中“Give yourself an extra（额外的）15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time.”可知，你要给自己留出额外的十五分钟，确保你能准时到达，而不是提前十五分钟到达，所以D项表述错误。故选C。

3.词意猜测题。visitor游客；friend朋友；workmate同事；leader领导。根据第四段中“One of the first things that your supervisor may do is to introduce you to your co-workers.”和第五段中“Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you.”可知，把你介绍给同事认识，也会告诉你工作职责的人最有可能是你的领导，所以此处supervisor与leader意思相同。故选D。

4.选择最佳标题。根据第二段中“It is important to make the right impression（印象）from the very first day.”和“First impression can last forever. Get to work on time. Ask questions. Never be the first one to leave.”可知，文章讲述了第一天上班很重要，同时给出了第一天上班的提示，所以最佳的标题应为Tips on the First Day at Work。故选C。
