Question

3．Here are two letters in WORKWORRIES，a column（欄） in a newspaper：

Dear Ariel， I got a job offer from a high-tech company with a fairly satisfactory paycheck and benefits．Even the work environment is cool．But I heard that the job requires a lot of overtime and even weekends．I know it's important for newcomers to work hard to get their feet planted firmly on the ground，but I'm scared of the idea of having nearly no free time．I still need to find a girlfriend．So，shall I accept the job or give it up for another one with much less pay and more freedom？ Amoretto

Dear Amoretto， I have two things to say：First，you're lucky to have such an excellent offer，especially at a time when so many qualified（勝任的）people are struggling to find any work at all； and second，you can't figure out your work-life balance until you're actually working． Take the job．You'll be learning，doing interesting things，working in a cool environment，and making money．If you're given a contract （合同），make sure you understand the terms before you sign．Ask your boss how many hours a week you're expected to work．If they tell you a number that is much lower than what you find once you're working，you'll be in a better position to talk to them about it． Give your wor k 100 percent．Work energetically and efficiently．If you're dedicated（敬業(yè)的）and focused，you might accomplish more than your co-workers in less time．Showing yourself to be a productive and talented worker for the beginning will give you more bargaining power．Finally，remember that taking a job doesn't have to be a life commitment．Try to give it at least a year （two is better）．If you're really miserable after that time，look for another job that will give you more freedom．By then，you'll have workplace experience，bosses and colleagues who can speak positively about your work and some savings．Good luck! Ariel

61．答案是D．細(xì)節(jié)理解題，從第二封信的句子：you can'tfigure out your work-life balance until you're actually working．可知只有通過自己的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)一個(gè)人才能平衡工作和生活．所以答案選D．
62．答案是C．細(xì)節(jié)理解題，從第二封信的第二段的句子：If you'regiven a contract （合同），make sure you understand the terms beforeyou sign．可知A是對的，從第二封信的第三段的句子：Giveyour wor k 100 percent．Work energetically and efficiently．If you're dedicated（敬業(yè)的）andfocused，可知B是對的，F(xiàn)inally，remember that taking a job doesn't have to be a life commitment．Try to give it at least a year 可知D是對的，沒有提到C項(xiàng)，所以答案選C．

點(diǎn)評 本文考查細(xì)節(jié)題為主，細(xì)節(jié)題可以在文章中直接找到與答案有關(guān)的信息？或是其變體．搜查信息在閱讀中非常重要它包括理解作者在敘述某事時(shí)使用的具體事實(shí)、數(shù)據(jù)、圖表等細(xì)節(jié)信息．在一篇短文里大部分篇幅都屬于這類圍繞主體展開的細(xì)節(jié)．做這類題一般采用尋讀法？即先讀題，然后帶著問題快速閱讀短文，找出與問題有關(guān)的詞語或句子，再對相關(guān)部分進(jìn)行分析對比，找出答案．
