解答 EDFAG
36．E 上下文 語境．根據(jù)后句If your work is unsatisfying or if you make a lot of mistakes，you will have to change your ways．可知，如果你的工作不令人滿意，你最好改變你的方法，大多數(shù)老板不喜歡工作表現(xiàn)不好的員工，故選E．
37．D 上下文 語境．根據(jù)該段的標題Not completing work on time可知，是從時間方面來分析原因，對應了選項里的by improving your time management skills，故選D．
38．F上下文 語境．從前句Are you always getting into disagreements with your coworkers？可知，分析的是和同事相處的問題，當有分歧或意見不一致的時候，沖突也會導致工作效率低下，故選F．
39．A上下文 語境．根據(jù)該段的標題A very quick temper容易發(fā)脾氣，而選項里的Do you get angry very easily？也是從脾氣上來分析原因，故選A．
40．G上下文 語境． 根據(jù)最后一段的大意可知，不要在工作的地方談論消極的事情，建議我們要有積極的態(tài)度，故選G．
