Question

【題目】 Even if you wake up every day with a perfect smile on your face, it can easily be ruined by the difficult people you meet at your workplace. You can’t avoid them because they are already part of your daily life. They make your day stressful which gives you a terrible feeling to leave the work immediately. 【1】 I will share a few effective strategies which will help you to deal with these difficult people.

Don’t take it personally.

Difficult people see others’ opinion as conflicting (沖突) to their belief. Their behaviour is already a habit to them so if you take it personally, they may even plan to make your life more terrible. Remember the problem is not only with you.【2】

Listen to what they say.

Sometimes what difficult people want is someone’s attention and love. There are also difficult people who don’t even speak but will just throw you with sullen ( 慍怒的) looks to make you feel uneasy. 【3】 The thought of you standing there and waiting for a response will make them feel uncomfortable and they will just decide to speak up. If they do, listen carefully and analyze it.

Don’t get discouraged.

I have already told you that it would be really difficult for you to change their behaviour but never give up. It should be you affecting them and not them affecting you.【4】 They would not interfere (干擾) with you again. If they realize that, you can already enjoy your stay in the office or in the school.

【5】

Instead of dealing with their pessimistic attitude every day, try to look at what advantages these people have. That way, they will start to like and appreciate you. Also, they won’t give you cold stares any more.

A.See what’s good in these people.

B.Choose topics that you both like.

C.Difficult people are sometimes suffering from low self-esteem (自尊).

D.If this happens, ask them and wait for a minute until he or she speaks.

E.What’s worse is that they can even make your enjoyable day unhealthy.

F.There must be many people who feel annoyed with their unpleasant behaviour.

G.Once they feel that you are different and they can’t beat you, they’ll learn to become distant.

這是一篇應用文。文章介紹了四個有效的策略來幫助你對付這些工作中難對付的人：別往心里去、聽聽他們說什么、不要氣餒、看看這些人的優(yōu)點。

【1】根據(jù)上一句They make your day stressful which gives you a terrible feeling to leave the work immediately. 他們讓你的一天充滿壓力，讓你有一種要立即離開工作的可怕感覺�？芍�，此處內(nèi)容也與上句的They（也就是the difficult people you meet at your workplace）帶來的影響有關，選項E“更糟糕的是，他們甚至會讓你愉快的一天變得不健康�！狈�合題意。故選E項。

【2】根據(jù)上一句Remember the problem is not only with you. 記住，不只是你一個人的問題。可知此處內(nèi)容與他人有關，F選項“一定有許多人對他們不愉快的行為感到煩惱。”符合題意。故選F項。

【3】根據(jù)上一句There are also difficult people who don’t even speak but will just throw you with sullen ( 慍怒的) looks to make you feel uneasy. 也有難纏的人，他們甚至不說話，只是用陰沉的表情看著你，讓你感到不自在。下一句The thought of you standing there and waiting for a response will make them feel uncomfortable and they will just decide to speak up.一想到你站在那里等待回應，他們就會感到不舒服，他們就會決定說出來�？芍�，此處內(nèi)容與那些用陰沉表情看著你但是不說話的人有關，該怎么做呢？選項D“如果發(fā)生這種情況，詢問他們并等待一分鐘，直到他或她開口�！狈�合題意。故選D項。

【4】根據(jù)下一句They would not interfere with you again. 他們不會再干涉你了�？芍�此處內(nèi)容與他們不會繼續(xù)攻擊你有關，選項G“一旦他們覺得你與眾不同，他們無法打敗你，他們就會學著疏遠你�！狈�合題意。故選G項。

【5】根據(jù)下一句Instead of dealing with their pessimistic attitude every day, try to look at what advantages these people have. 與其每天處理他們的悲觀態(tài)度，不如試著看看這些人有什么優(yōu)勢�？芍�，此處是本段小標題，內(nèi)容應該與看看這些人有什么優(yōu)點有關，選項A“看看這些人的優(yōu)點�！狈�合題意。故選A項。
