Question

No one wants to look silly or do the wrong thing at a new job. It is important to make the right impression(印象) from the first day. You’ll face new people. You will be in a new place.

It may be difficult to know what to do. Here are five tips to help you make it through the first days at a new job:

1. First impressions can last forever. Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day, find out if your new job has a dress code (rules about what you can wear to work). If so, be sure to follow it. No matter what, always be neat and clean.

2. Get to work on time. Give yourself an extra 15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time.

3. Pay attention to introductions. One of the first things that your supervisor may do is to introduce you to co-workers. These co-workers will be important to you. They are the ones who will answer your questions when the boss is not around.

4. Ask plenty of questions. Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you. If he or she has not told you your duties, ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals for yourself.

5. Never be the first one to leave. Watch what your co-workers do around quitting time (下班时间).  It does not look good for you to be eager(急切) to leave.

试题分析：这篇短文告诉我们当你开始一份新工作的时候，你总是会有一些担忧，怕自己表现不好。那这篇短文就在这方面给我们提了几条建议，这些建议可以帮助我们在刚开始新工作的时候能够顺利。

1.细节理解题。根据文章的第一条建议Before your first day, find out if your new job has a dress code (rules about what you can wear to work). If so, be sure to follow it. No matter what, always be neat and clean.，在你第一天上班之前，你要查明你的新工作在穿着上是否有一定的要求，要遵循这些要求，不管你穿什么，要保证干净整洁。这一条建议是关于你的穿着的，这是在上班之前就要考虑到的。故选A。

2.细节理解题。根据文章的最后一条建议Never be the first one to leave. Watch what your co-workers do around quitting time (下班时间).  It does not look good for you to be eager(急切) to leave.，不要第一个离开。看一看你的同事们在快要下班的时候会做什么。急于离开对你来说是不好的，故C是正确的。A、D两个选项是关于你上班的时间，文章中告诉我们要准时到，不是做第一个或提前到。B选项与原文表达不符。

3.词义猜测题。这个单词出现在文中One of the first things that your supervisor may do is to introduce you to co-workers.，意为：你的主管做的事情之一就是把你介绍给你的同事们。这里supervisor 应该不同于co-workers,所以我们猜测supervisor 应该是你的上级。故选D。
