And the cmpany chse t stand by the custmer and tried t meet his unreasnable requirements rather than stick t what we had riginally ffered in the cntract. As yu can imagine, this led t a lt f unexpected prblems and arguing with sme f the staff wh refused t d anything utside their scpe (范围) f wrk. I remember walking int my ffice ne mrning, pening my laptp and staring at the blank screen fr lng, thinking t myself: What shuld I d? That was a difficult time in my life and then I finally had t give up my first jb and left that cmpany sadly.
Perhaps, I thught then, I culd find the jb that didn’t invlve dealing with difficult peple and difficult situatins. But later I realized: Is this pssible in ur mdern wrld? N, it is impssible. Nw, I knw, I shuldn’t run away frm the challenges I faced in life: I had t learn hw t deal with them. I regret nt persevering (坚 持 ) in my jb. We shuld train urselves t lk at things frm a psitive pint f view, because that is far better than being trapped in the bad circle depressin. I’ve cme t see that when faced with difficulties, I shuld nt give up, but persevere.

【解析】选D。细节理解题。根据第二段第二句“I tk n the assignment happily, thinking that this might be my time t shine. ”可知, 第一段中作者就自述了是个好强的人, 之所以欣然接受委派, 就是觉得到自己大显身手、证明能力的时候了, 与D选项描述相符。故选D。

【解析】选B。词义猜测题。根据第二段可知, 公司选择站在客户一边, 努力满足客户不合理的要求, 而不是坚持我们在合同中最初的报价。由此推断, 画线词所在句表示“此举”导致了一系列问题的出现, 而问题的根源就是前句中指出的公司的错误决策——罔顾合同承诺, 而一味迎合客户的不合理要求, 所以第二段中画线的“this”指满足客户不合理的要求。故选B。

8. What’s the best title f the text?

B. Persevering instead f giving up.
C. Refusing t argue with custmers.

【文章大意】这是一篇说明文。远程办公, 也称为在家工作, 或电子通勤, 是一种工作安排, 员工在办公室外工作, 经常在家或离家近的地方工作。文章说明了一些不能够通过远程办公进行的职业以及远程办公的优势。
1. 【解析】选G。根据后文可知医生、牙医和世界上无数的医疗工作者总是需要亲自与病人打交道。由此可知, 并不是所有的工作都适合远程工作。故选G。
2. 【解析】选F。根据下文 Scientists need t be in labs. 可知科学家们需要待在实验室里。由此可知, 此处在列举必须在工作场所进行工作的职业, 故F选项“建筑工人需要在建筑工地工作”符合上下文语境, 故选F。
3. 【解析】选D。根据后文可知有时你可能很容易被洗衣机等家用电器分散注意力, 或者你实际上需要老板的监督才能专心工作。由此可知, 上文中提到的“在家办公可以让你更有效率”并不一定是真的。故选D。
4. 【解析】选C。根据后文可知远程通勤者也可能对工作更满意, 因此更有可能留在公司。远程办公甚至可以节省公司的办公费用(如租金和办公用具)。由此可知, 此处是在说明远程工作对于公司的好处。故选C。
5. 【解析】选A。根据后文可知有些人还觉得在家工作有点孤立, 因为你不在同事身边。那些喜欢团队合作的人可能会因为单独的电话会议而失去与同事建立联系的机会。由此可知, 本段是在说明对于那些喜欢团队合作的人来说, 可能会感觉远程工作会让他们失去与同事建立联系的机会, 从而可能会导致员工感觉孤立的心理健康问题。故选A。
