It's difficult not to become involved in gossip at work. After all, people like gossip and interesting bits of information: you only have to look at the number of celebrity-focused publications to realize that we have a huge appetite for discussing other people's lives. At work, however, this type of interaction is harmful and costly. It wastes time, damages reputations, promotes divisiveness(分歧), creates anxiety.
Rumors often grow because people like to be "in the know." Knowledge is power, and that's why the people with the least amount of power in an organization can often be the ones to start and spread rumors. It can make them feel important if they're seen to know things that others don't.
This knowledge is at the center of why and how rumors start and spread. Insufficient（不足） knowledge or incomplete information are often to blame. Consider these examples:
◆People don't know why a colleague was fired, so they make up a reason based on some limited knowledge or insignificant fact. "I saw John override（推翻） the cash register the other day without a supervisor present. Maybe he stole some money and that's why he went."
◆People see a pattern of behavior between two individuals and they add their own explanation. "Joseph and Samantha spend a lot of time together after hours ‘catching up on paperwork.' And just yesterday, they were sitting awfully close to each other in the meeting. I bet paperwork isn't all that's getting done after work!"
These rumors are typical of the things you'll face at work, and they spread because of a lack of accurate information. So, the best way to fight rumors is with good communication. When you communicate well, your team knows what's happening, and they trust that you'll keep them informed. Good communication within your team also means that you will become aware of any rumors that are starting, and you'll be able to address them quickly and effectively.
1.The huge number of celebrity-focused publications reveals that_______.
A. celebrities depend on publications to achieve fame

A. The ones who have a large circle of friends

3.The passage is developed mainly___________.
A. by using time order. B. by making comparisons
C. by giving figures D. by giving examples
4.What is the relationship between Joseph and Samantha in the eyes of the people spreading rumors?
A. They are lovers. B. They are work partners.
C. They are rivals. D. They are old friends.
5. What is mainly discussed in the last paragraph?

When buying from a dealer, the law says that a car must be:
As described:
This includes the history of the car as well as its specification. For example, if the dealer described the car as previously having “one careful lady owner”, it shouldn’t turn out to have had several previous “boy racer” owners.
Of satisfactory quality:
It must meet the standard that a reasonable person would regard as acceptable and be free from any quality problem. Also, bear in mind that a second-hand car will have a slightly different definition of what is considered “satisfactory, because there’s certainly an element of wear and tear.
Fit for the purpose:
It must be reasonable fit for any normal purpose and this includes any purpose that you specify to the seller.
●If any of the above is violated, then in theory, you may have the right to reject the vehicle and get your money back if you’re reasonably quick. Alternatively, the dealer might offer to replace or repair the car; reduce the price of offering a partial refund(退款). Once you’ve informed the dealer that you wish to reject the car, you must stop using the vehicle.
●If the rejection is not accepted, then it’s up to you to prove your case. You’ll need to pay for an independent assessment of the car and sue for damages. If you do choose a repair, insist the dealer provide you with a hire car or pay any reasonable traveling expenses thus produced while your new car is in the garage.
●If the car is new, it’s likely that the claim will be too high to be fought. Using the small claims procedure to you may have to pay for legal representation. All this can be pretty daunting and expensive. You need to weigh up the pros and cons before rejecting a car. Would a repair do just as well? Selecting a dealer who offers a clear exchange policy may help.
1.After the above writing, you will be better at .
A. choosing a car B. dealing with car sellers
C. making a claim D. suing for damages
2.According to the text, what is essential after you inform the dealer of your wish to reject the car________?
A. Suing for damages. B. Demanding traveling expenses.
C. Stopping using it. D. Proving your case.
3.If the dealer offers to repair the car you have bought, which of the following is acceptable_______?
A. Asking the dealer to provide you with a hire car.
B. Asking the dealer to provide you with repair tool sets.
C. Asking the dealer to pay all of your traveling expenses.
D. Asking the dealer to return all your money.
4.Which of the following words has the closest meaning to the underlined word “daunting” in the last paragraph________?
A. Different. B. Effective. C. Discouraging. D. Convenient.
5.What does the writer want to say in the last paragraph_________?
A. Buyers should select a dealer that offers to repair the car.
B. Rejecting a new car is not necessarily the best choice.
C. It’s necessary that a new car should be repaired.
D. Buyers should never reject a new car.

Flight cancellations(取消) and loss of luggage can ruin even the best-planned holiday. The key to a stress-free trip is having a backup plan.
Fly non-stop. The worst problems involve connections, so it is important to take non-stop flights whenever possible. If you do have to make a connection, try to route through a southern city, where snowstorms and de-icing delays will be less likely. Always allow at least two to three hours for flight connections.
Check the weather. Check the weather in your connecting city, not just the arrival and departure city. If your departure flight is cancelled because of weather, you can go home or back to your hotel. Airlines promise to get you on the next available flight, not the next flight. That could be several days later on a sold-out holiday weekend.
Go early. The earlier in the day you fly, the better your chance of getting rebooked the same day after a missed connection. It will also put you ahead of stranded(滞留的) passengers who arrive later.
Rebook immediately. As soon as your flight is delayed or cancelled, get on the phone and rebook your flight instead of waiting at the ticket counter. If your rebooking is delayed, call or ask your travel agent to find a seat on another carrier, and then ask your original carrier to endorse your ticket to the new airline. Airlines are not required to do this but often do. Learn more at www. dot. gov/ airconsumer/ fly-rights.
Ship bags. A few days before your flight, ship suitcases or holiday gifts to your destination by a documented express service. It’s preferable to losing bags because of re-routed flights and sometimes cheaper than paying airline overweight bag fees.
Know your rights. Airlines are not required to compensate passengers for delayed or cancelled flights, but it never hurts to ask for goodwill vouchers(折扣) for meals, taxis or a room.
1.When making a flight connection, it’s common that you’ll___________.
A. stop in the south
B. choose a good city without snowstorm
C. be trapped in the storm
D. wait for two or three hours
2.The suggested way for you to rebook your flight is___________.
A. through the phone
B. by waiting at the ticket counter
C. by changing another airline
D. by surfing the Internet
3.According to the passage, we can infer____________.
A. it will take long to rebook the tickets
B. your luggage is easy to be lost
C. you will pay more for your overweight luggage
D. with the same ticket you can take the next flight
4.The underlined word “compensate” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “___________”.
A. pay B. ask C. host D. treat
5.What’s the best title of the passage?
A. The Worst Problem in the Trip.
B. The Preparation Before the Flight Trip.
C. How to Book the Plane Ticket.
D. How to Plan the Holiday.
