(2013·江西省丰、樟、高、宜四市联考)Having good etiquette (礼节) at the workplace is very important to be a favorite in an office. However, it's
observed that many people aren't aware of the workplace
etiquette and this creates a very bad impression in the office.
So it's important to know some workplace etiquette tips.
Among all the workplace etiquette guidelines, the most important is to be punctual to your office. Though going late due to an emergency is okay, habitual late comers are never appreciated in any organization. By arriving at your office on time, you show that you're aware of your responsibilities and have respect for the organization. In case you feel that you would be late, call the concerned authority and report the matter to him or her.
Also, a proper knowledge of the workplace email etiquette is a must. In the official emails, you need to mention the subject concisely, while at the same time include all the important details which are to be shared. You should use good and grammatically correct language while writing emails.
A knowledge of telephone etiquette in the workplace is very important as well. While talking on the telephone, be polite and listen to what they're saying carefully. Only then should you say what you feel. Speak in a voice which would be heard clearly at the other end.
The workplace guidelines are important even while you're dining or celebrating with your co­workers. If you get a call in between, receive it after you're permitted by the others by saying “excuse me〞. Don't talk loudly while eating. Greet people well and try to make them feel comfortable while being in your company.
These guidelines will help you become the best employee of a company. All the best!
1．The intended readers of the passage are ________.
A．managers in charge of a company
B．students of a business class
C．people who are hunting for jobs
D．ordinary employees in a company
2．Why should you try to be punctual?
A．To prove you are not a habitual late comer.
B．To respect the rules of the organization.
C．To show that you are a responsible worker.
D．To win other workers' respect.
3．How should you write an official email?
A．Write the subject clearly and simply.
B．Include all the details in the email.
C．Make the language as beautiful as possible.
D．Make emails as brief as possible.
4．Which of the following is considered NOT acceptable about making phone calls in the workplace?

(2013·湖州高三质检)When Boris left school, he could not find a job. He tried hard and pestered (纠缠) his relatives, but they had problems of their own. He answered advertisements until he could not afford to buy any more stamps. Boris grew annoyed, then depressed, then a little hardened. Still he went on trying and still he failed. He began to think that he had no future at all.
“Why don't you start your o wn business？〞one of his uncles told him. “The world is a money­locker. You'd better find a way of opening it.〞
“But what can I do？〞
“Get out and have a look round，〞advised his uncle in a vague sort of way.“See what people want; then give it to them, and they will pay for it.〞Boris began to cycle around the town and found a suitable piece of waste ground in the end. Then he set up his business as a cycle repairer. He worked hard, made friends with his customers and gradually managed to build up his goodwill and profit.
A few months later, he found that he had more work than he could deal with by himself. He found a number of empty shops but they were all no good: in the wrong position, too expensive or with some other snags (障碍). But at long last, he managed to find an empty shop on a new estate where there were plenty of customers but no competition.
Boris and his assistant taught themselves how to repair scooters and motorcycles. Slowly but surely the profits increased and the business developed. At last, Boris had managed to open the money­locker and found bank notes and gold coins inside.
6．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
