Dear Hamilton,
     We are fortunate that in such a large, high-pressure office we all get along so well. You are one of the
people who keep the social temperature at such a comfortable setting. I don't know anyone in the office
who is better liked than you.
     You can perhaps help with this. The collection of contributions towards gifts for employees' personal-life
events is becoming a little troubling. Certainly, the group sending of a gift is reasonable now and then. In the
past month, however, there have been collections for two baby shower gifts, one wedding shower gift, two
wedding gifts, one funeral (葬禮) remembrance, four birthday gifts, and three graduation gifts.
     It's not only the collected-from who are growing uncomfortable (and poor), but the collected-for feel
uneasy receiving gifts from people who don't know them outside the office, who wouldn't even recognize
their graduating children, their marrying daughters and sons, or their dead relatives.
     This is basically a kind gesture (and one that people think well of you for), but the practice seems to have
become too wide-ranging and feels improper in today's office setting.
     Thank you for understanding.

2. Hamilton is expected to _____.
A. show more kindness
B. discontinue the present practice
C. quit being the organizer for gift giving

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

If you need extra employment support because of a disability, your local job center put you in touch with one of their Disability Employment Advisers(DEA). Disability Employment Advisers can give you help and support regardless of your situation. They can help you find work or gain new skills even if you have been out of work for a long time, or if you have little or no working experience.

   Referral service

   Your DEA can offer you an employment assessment to identify what type of work or training suits you best and also offer you a work program designed to help disabled people, like the Job Introduction Scheme, WORKSTEP or Access to Work. The DEA can let you know about jobs that match your experience and skills and offer you more work information.

   Employment assessments

   An important employment assessment can help you identify your abilities. Your employment assessment will usually take place at your local Job centre. You will have an interview with your DEA, which is an opportunity for you to talk about your skills and abilities and any previous working experience you may have. As part of the assessment, you may be asked to carry out some practical tasks and written work. These tasks will be similar to common tasks involved in various types of work. The assessment may take half a day or longer, depending on your individual needs. The DEA will discuss the length of your assessment with you beforehand.

   After the assessment

   You and your DEA will talk about your assessment and agree on an action plan to help you achieve your job goals. Your action plan may include training or taking part in the “Work Preparation” program.
