You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Finding a good work-at-home job is not easy. Although you see all the online advertising, there aren't that many of them. Those that are available may require that you live in a certain area or spend at least some time in the office. Others may be only part-time jobs. Keep in mind that the skills needed for home employment are similar to those needed for working in an office. You'll also need a home office with a high speed Internet connection, phone, fax, computer, printer, and other basic office equipment. To get started, consider your job search as your job. Spend as many hours per week on your job search as you would spend working. If you're looking for full-time work, you should be spending full-time hours seeking a job. Networking (人际联系) remains the top way to find a job and it does work. Develop contacts—friends, family, even the other job seekers—anyone who might have the information you need. You can take a direct approach and ask for job information or try a less formal approach and ask for information and advice. Contact everyone you know and tell them you want to work from home. You may be surprised by the people they know and the job information they can provide.
1. According to the first paragraph, it is not easy to find good work-at-home jobs because ______.
A.they are seldom advertised online or in newspapers

Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 26 to 30. Running your small business requires good staff. Once you find them, you don't want to let them go elsewhere. During an employee's time with a company, there are a number of forces that influence his or her behavior. I like to refer to them as "push" and "pull". You're either pushing an employee towards the door, or pulling them deeper into your organization. Suppose that you've made a good hire and you want to keep the employees, the trick is to recognize individual needs of employees and satisfy those needs, within reason, in order to keep pulling them away from the door. Even if you can't pull them away from the door, at least don't do things to push them out the door. Recognize that some employees will lose interest and need something fresh to keep their interest. If you can't continually provide challenges, opportunities for promotion and other interesting and rewarding opportunities, then you'll have some employees leave through no fault of your own. The important thing is to identify your key employees and make certain they are being treated well. Communicate with them on a regular basis to make certain that you understand what makes them behave in a particular way, and be aware of concerns they may have about job satisfaction.
1. The author uses the word "push" (Para.2) to mean the force that ______.
A.makes employees satisfied with their work
B.drives employees to work more efficiently
C.causes employees to leave their company
D.keeps employees to remain in their company
A B C D
C
2. To keep your employees, you are advised to ______.
A.recognize and meet their needs
B.identify and overcome their faults
C.offer them a salary as high as possible
D.provide them with a better working condition
A B C D
A
3. According to the passage, when is it possible for some employees to lose interest? ______.
A.They have no rewarding opportunities.
B.The company is located in a remote area.
C.They make many mistakes in their work.
D.The company is not big enough for development.
A B C D
A
4. How should you deal with your key employees according to the last paragraph? ______.
A.Make them behave well
B.Meet with them every day
C.Pay regular visits to their family
D.Make sure they are well-treated
A B C D
D
5. The passage is mainly about ______.
A.how to keep your employees
B.the importance of key employees
C.how to challenge your employees
D.the difference between "push" and "pull"
A B C D
A
