1、Passage 10Your boss holds your future prospects in his hands. Some bosses are hard to get along with.
Some have excellent qualifications but no idea when it comes to dealing with people. Of course,
not all bosses are like that.
The relationship you have with your boss can be a major factor in determining your rise up
the career ladder. Your boss is not only your leader, he is also the person best equipped to help you
do the job you are paid to do. He can inform you of company direction that may affect your
professional development.
Your boss also needs you to perform at your best in order to accomplish his objectives. He
needs your feedback in order to provide realistic and useful reports to upper management. But
how does this help you establish a meaningful working relationship with your boss?
The key is communication. Learn and understand his goals and priorities (优先的事).
Observe and understand your boss‘s work style. If he has not been clear with his expectations, ask!
Likewise, ask for feedback and accept criticism gracefully. And if he understands that you do not
view your job as just something to fill the hours between 9 and 5, he may be more likely to help
you.
In short, getting along with your boss requires getting to know his likes and dislikes and
learning to work with his personality and management style. 4. The most important factor for establishing a good working relationship with the boss is
________.

A. 　 high expectations

1、Passage 5Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to
buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want. When they work,
they usually get paid in money.
Most of the money today is made of metal paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as
money. One of the first kinds of money was shells. Shells were not the only things used as money.
In China, cloth and knives were used. In the Philippine Islands, rice was used as money. In parts of
Africa, cattle were one of the earliest money. Other animals were used as money too.
The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the
center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place. Different countries have
used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin.
Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coins
of gold and silver.
But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. They began to use paper money. The first paper
money looked more like a note from one person to another than paper money used today.
Money has had an interesting history from the days of shell money until today.
2. Where were shells used as money in history?

A. 　In the Philippines.

B. 　 In China.

C. 　 In Africa.

D. 　 We don‘t know.
