Letter 1 January 28, 2018 | 3:31pm I work for an e-commerce Website. If one of our merchandisers has a question or wants to make a correction, they e-mail the entire department. In my opinion, this is rude and unnecessary. It seems to me that mass e-mail is appropriate for good or neutral news, rather than making a correction. Do you agree? Moreover, if you were the recipient of the correction, how would you respond? The only people who should be included in an e-mail are those who need to know or respond. Including everyone is rude and unprofessional as well as annoying to recipients. It’s not like we don’t have enough in our inbox already. I don’t agree that e-mail is only for good or neutral news, however. Sometimes you need to alert people or create a record of bad news. But no one should use e-mail to blame other people. If you’ve got a problem with someone, pick up the phone or take it outside (for a coffee, not a fist fight…geez). As for how to respond, e-mail is usually ineffective for resolving conflict. Have a conversation with the sender and explain why his or her approach isn’t the best and what you recommend.

Letter 2 January 14, 2018 | 9:24 pm It’s the start of a new year and I believe it’s time for a change. What’s the best way to explain to a prospective employer that you are in need of something new without seeming flighty and without complaining about your current employer? The new year is as good a time as any to take stock, but not the only reason for making a change. At least, that’s not what you communicate to a prospective employer. Your reason for looking for a new job is less important to your new employer than why you want to work there. Needing a change might be the catalyst(催化劑), but the job search is like dating, and you wouldn’t ask someone out and explain you’re just bored in your current relationship, right? At least I hope not, otherwise you’re likely to be as lonely as Barry Manilow sounds when he sings “It’s Just Another New Year’s Eve”.

【解析】

本文是一篇應(yīng)用文，就兩封信所反映的工作中的問(wèn)題給出了針對(duì)性的建議。

【1】主旨大意題。根據(jù)文體特點(diǎn)可知本文是針對(duì)來(lái)信反映的問(wèn)題給出建議，根據(jù)Letter 1中的“If one of our merchandisers has a question or wants to make a correction, they e-mail the entire department. In my opinion, this is rude and unnecessary.”可知，第一封反映的問(wèn)題是如果一個(gè)業(yè)務(wù)員有問(wèn)題或有需要改正的地方，他工作的單位會(huì)給整個(gè)部門(mén)發(fā)電子郵件，在他看來(lái)，這是粗魯和不必要的，再結(jié)合回復(fù)中的 “I don’t agree that e-mail is only for good or neutral news, however. Sometimes you need to alert people or create a record of bad news. But no one should use e-mail to blame other people. If you’ve got a problem with someone, pick up the phone or take it outside (for a coffee, not a fist fight…geez). As for how to respond, e-mail is usually ineffective for resolving conflict. Have a conversation with the sender and explain why his or her approach isn’t the best and what you recommend.”可知，我不同意電子郵件只用于好消息或中性消息。有時(shí)候你需要提醒人們或者創(chuàng)造一個(gè)壞消息的記錄。但是沒(méi)有人應(yīng)該用電子郵件來(lái)責(zé)怪別人。如果你和某人有問(wèn)題，拿起電話或帶到外面（喝杯咖啡，而不是拳打腳踢…天哪）。至于如何回復(fù)，電子郵件通常對(duì)解決沖突無(wú)效。與發(fā)信人交談，解釋為什么他/她的方法不是最好的，以及你推薦的方法，由此可知，第一封信主要討論的是如何處理工作中粗魯?shù)娜喊l(fā)郵件，故D項(xiàng)正確。

【2】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)Letter 2中的 “but the job search is like dating, and you wouldn’t ask someone out and explain you’re just bored in your current relationship, right? ”可知，格雷格認(rèn)為找工作就像約會(huì)，你不會(huì)約別人出去解釋你對(duì)現(xiàn)在的關(guān)系感到無(wú)聊，對(duì)吧？也就是說(shuō)她認(rèn)為，在面試中表達(dá)你對(duì)目前工作的不滿，就像在第一次約會(huì)時(shí)抱怨你的前任一樣，故B項(xiàng)正確。

【3】推理判斷題。根據(jù)Letter 1中的“If one of our merchandisers has a question or wants to make a correction, they e-mail the entire department. In my opinion, this is rude and unnecessary.”可知，第一封信給出了如何處理工作中粗魯?shù)娜喊l(fā)郵件的建議，根據(jù)Letter 2中的“What’s the best way to explain to a prospective employer that you are in need of something new without seeming flighty and without complaining about your current employer?”可知，第二封信給出的是換工作時(shí)怎樣向新老板解釋你換工作的原因而又不顯得輕浮和不抱怨現(xiàn)在的老板的建議，這兩封信反映的都是工作中的問(wèn)題，因此go to greg向人們提供如何處理工作中的問(wèn)題的建議，故C項(xiàng)正確。

本篇第3題推理判斷題難度較大，抓住兩封信所反映的問(wèn)題是關(guān)鍵，根據(jù)Letter 1中的“If one of our merchandisers has a question or wants to make a correction, they e-mail the entire department. In my opinion, this is rude and unnecessary.”可知，第一封信給出了如何處理工作中粗魯?shù)娜喊l(fā)郵件的建議，根據(jù)Letter 2中的“What’s the best way to explain to a prospective employer that you are in need of something new without seeming flighty and without complaining about your current employer?”可知，第二封信給出的是換工作時(shí)怎樣向新老板解釋你換工作的原因而又不顯得輕浮和不抱怨現(xiàn)在的老板的建議，這兩封信反映的都是工作中的問(wèn)題，因此go to greg向人們提供如何處理工作中的問(wèn)題的建議。
