As the economy begins to recover, salary increases should do the same.
In the past few years, employers have raised workers’ salaries by about 4 percent per year--except for 2009, when the figure dropped to a historically low 2.1 percent, according to a survey of World at Word. About one-third of companies froze raises altogether.
For 2010, World at Work’s survey projects an average salary increase budget of 2.7 percent, a figure that shows the situation has improved but the job market is still weak. Between 10 percent and 15 percent of companies said they would freeze raises--far fewer than in 2009, but still more than in most years.
How can you get a raise? Avalos and others offer the following tips:
* Do your job well. This means producing high-quality work, of course, but also keeping the big picture in mind.
“It really comes down to positioning yourself as a high performer, somebody who is aware of business goals and helps the company meet their goals as an organization”, Avalos said
* Be visible. When times are tough, some workers think. “I’m going to hunker down and hope that nobody notices me, because I don’t want to be on a layoff list,” said Richard Phillips, owner of Advantage Career Solutions. This is a mistake, because you’re unlikely to get a raise if no one knows what you have accomplished. “If anything, what you want to do is be more visible.”
* Make your boss’s life easier. This means everything from having a good attitude to taking on extra tasks. If you don’t know how you can help your boss, ask.
* Ask for a raise. Talk to your boss and present your case: Here’s what I’ve done, here’s how it fits with the company’s goals, and here is why I think it’s worth a salary increase. In some cases, even if your company has an official raise freeze, you can get a raise if you make good case.
If the answer is no -- or if you’re not ready to ask directly -- Phillips suggests asking, “What would you like to see from me that would put me in line for a raise?”
A question like this can improve your standing. “Just asking the question says to the boss, ‘I’m thinking about where I fit in here, what I can do,” Phillips said, “That in and of itself has value.”
The passage is mostly from a\an________.
A. novel B. science fiction
C. magazine D. biography
Employers have raised workers’ salaries by about _______percent in 2007.
A. 4 B. 2.1 C. 2.7 D. 10
If you want to get a raise, the most important thing you should keep in your mind is to ______.
A. have your job done well B. be visible everywhere as possible as you can
C. ask your boss for a raise directly D. change your job
All the statements are true except________.
A. the situation has improved but the job market is still weak
B. salary increases should recover as the economy does
C. producing high-quality work will surely help you get a raise
D. that in and off an employee makes no difference

科目：高中英语 来源：2015届安徽省高一第一次月考英语试卷（解析版） 题型：其他题
Some people succeed，while others may not．This is because some people possess certain qualities，which others do not．
The first thing you must remember is that in order to succeed，you must be optimistic(乐观的)．If you do not expect to win，you will not try as hard as those who do expect to win．You also need to have a clear aim and a reason for doing something because motivation(动力)is a key to achieving success．If you do not have an aim，then you will not be motivated to work hard and put your performance under the microscope to make sure that every detail is right．
Another quality that helps people succeed is creativity(有创造力)-thinking about things in a different way and wondering how others would do the same thing．Think about some successful people you know．They might be successful with a little creativity，but the most successful people are the most creative ones．
Reading is another to success，as it will help you learn about how other people have achieved success．If you want to learn how to set up a successful business，you should read books about people like Bill Gates and Jerry Yang，who have achieved amazing success in their areas of business．
Practicing is also important if you want to succeed because practice makes perfect．Practise every day at whatever career you are in，and by doing so，you will see yourself，your business and your self-confidence begin to grow．If you feel confident about what you do，this confidence will make other people believe in you as well．Your colleagues will be happy to work with you，and your boss will give you more responsibility．Finally if you are a successful person，you will be able to look people in the eye and smile confidently．
Success is yours for the taking! Cheers!
