If you fall into the latter category, (由于失業(yè)率處于大蕭條以來的最高水平，許多人沒有工作的特權(quán)，而那些人確實對這個機會能持續(xù)多久感到緊張。如果你屬于后一種情況)可知，C. I can appreciate your concern.

【4】

根據(jù)下文Although you don’t want to overload yourself with extra work, look for ways to make your boss’s life easier.(雖然你不想讓額外的工作讓自己超負荷，但是想辦法讓你老板的生活更輕松)及These little things can help reduce the pressure on your boss. (這些小事可以幫助你減輕老板的壓力)可知，B. Help your boss (幫助你的老板)適合做本段主旨。故選B。
