本文是一篇说明文。主要讲述在你的职业生涯中，你除了要掌握关键的工作技能，还要知道一些有关工作的关键事情，并具体叙述了这些关键事情。

1.根据第一段During your first year in the workforce, you can expect to have a huge learning curve-not just about the details of your job, but about broader issues of how to manage your career and operate successfully in an office.在你工作的第一年，你会有一个巨大的学习曲线——不仅仅是关于你工作的细节，而是关于如何管理你的职业生涯和在办公室成功运作的更广泛的问题，可知本句空中要引出你要学习的除了工作以外的事情。D选项 but here are some key things that you should know about work by the time you're 30但是这里有一些你在30岁之前应该知道的关于工作的关键事情，切题，故选D。

2.根据第二段It's pretty common to be intimidated （使失去信心）by company higher-ups or industry experts when you're just starting out in your career. But if you let yourself stay intimidated, it will keep you from forming relationships and that can hold you back professionally.当你刚刚开始你的职业生涯时，被公司高层或行业专家吓到是很常见的。但是如果你让自己保持胆怯，这会阻碍你建立人际关系，也会阻碍你的职业发展。由此可知本段的主题就是如何高层或者专家沟通。A选项How to talk to people much more senior than you如何与比你高得多的人交谈。符合主题，故选A。

3.根据上文If you lose control of your meetings, let conversation go in any direction and don't start or finish on time, people will quickly begin to be afraid of attending any meetings you're running. 如果你对会议失去了控制，让谈话朝着任何方向进行，没有按时开始或结束，人们很快就会开始害怕参加你主持的任何会议。下文应该描述的是如何控制你的会议方向和时间，E选项Instead, always have an agenda, be clear about what results you're aiming for相反,总是有一个议程,明确你的目标，切题，故选E。

4.根据下文But if you've been working for most of your 20s, by the end of then you should have the information about what you're better at than others, what you're much better at than others, what you want to work on improving in and what you should probably avoid altogether.但是，如果你已经工作了20多年，到那时，你应该了解你比别人更擅长什么，你比别人更好在哪里，你想改进什么，你应该完全避免什么。由此可知上文应该是写你刚开始工作时候应该的情况。C选项Early in your career, it's normal not to know where you shine and where you don't在你职业生涯的早期，不知道你在哪里发光，在哪里不发光是很正常的，符合语境，故选C。

5.根据上文Your reputation is what will let you avoid bad jobs and bad bosses and what will give you a safety net when you need to leave a job quickly or find a new one across the country. 你的声誉能让你避开糟糕的工作和老板，当你需要迅速离开一份工作或在全国各地找到一份新工作时，它能给你提供一张安全网。所以下文应该是关于名声的建立的，G选项That means you shouldn't leave a job without notifying your boss这意味着你不应该在没有通知老板的情况下就离职，切题，故选G。
