Don’t Share Too Much Information with Co-Workers There are several reasons for not sharing personal information with your co-workers. You may not want to burden your co-workers. As I alluded to, also, did not trust your co-workers to keep your secret. There are people around, and we all know someone like this, who will think nothing of talking about you. Some people are very matter-of-fact about it and just assume there’s nothing wrong with telling others whatever you told them. Some may be malicious and intend to cause harm by spreading information. By the time you find out you’ve shared your story with the wrong person, it’s usually too late. Those of you who have been around dogs know that a dog will show its submissiveness to a more dominant dog by exposing its belly. When you share personal information, especially information that shows your weaknesses, you may be "exposing your belly" to your co-workers. If your position at work requires you to exhibit strength and control, such as a managerial position, you may be showing just the opposite by sharing certain information. Here’s what Elizabeth Mitchell, a senior editor, had to say about this," Decisions are made and impressions formed about us while at work that are used for different reasons than those with our families and friends. For example, a person being considered for a promotion would benefit from having an image of strength, excellent judgment and good interpersonal skills. How might your recent disclosure to your colleagues that you are divorcing your alcoholic husband, just obtained a restraining order in fear for your life and are worried about making your house payments, affect your chances for promotion You can’t sleep, fear you are depressed and need support from friends during this trying time. In this situation, a wise employee would make an appointment with an Employee Assistance Program counselor and use his or her friends and family for support, letting colleagues at work know, perhaps, that he or she is divorcing but keeping the details scant. " As mentioned earlier, revealing too much about yourself may give people the wrong impression or rather the impression you don’t want them to have. In general, you do want to preserve some level of privacy. Susan Heathfield says, "When you have worked in a particular work place for a long time, people will tend to know more about your personal world, simply from longevity. As an example, they know when you took a week off work when your mother died. They know you left for the day when your son got sick at school. This level of knowledge about each other is fine and, depending on the work place, almost unavoidable ..." Brian Mairs, a career expert, gets straight to the point, "If you don’t want to hear it in the neighborhood pub, don’t mention it around the water cooler. If it is a thing of pride (new car, new house, new baby, etc), go ahead and share the joy. If it is a thing of privacy (family problems, etc. ) keep it to yourself at work. Find a professional therapist, or somebody you trust to keep a confidence (such as a Priest or Rabbi), to discuss such things. " As with anything else, you are the only one who can decide what, and how much information you want to share with your co-workers. The words of wisdom provided by my colleagues certainly give you something to think about. In the end, though, the decision is yours. And the consequences are yours to deal with. If opening up your personal life is what you feel comfortable to do, realize that there will be no line between the "work you" and the "real you". That may be fine for some people, and as a matter of fact preferable for many. A lot of people would feel uncomfortable and unhappy exhibiting a different persona at work than they do at home. Do what you need to do, as long as it doesn’t interfere with doing your job. To deal with the information-sharing-at-work problem, it is important to

A set a line between the "work you" and the "real you".
B be a different one at work from the one at home.
C do your own way and make yourself comfortable.
D decide what, and how much information you want to share.

阅读下面的文字,回答下题。读书断想钟长江书和太阳一样,能够给人带来光明和温暖,是我们须臾不可或缺的精神食粮。塞缪尔说过,好书可以引为诤友。好书与我们亲善相处,年轻时从中汲取乐趣与教诲,到鬓发染霜,则带给我们以亲抚和安慰。一窗明月的夜晚,远离了纷繁喧嚣的尘世、是是非非的人群,一书在握,热茶一杯,静心读了下去,渐渐便觉茶香满口书香满纸,尽可以刘伶醉酒,放浪形骸——开心处开怀大笑,伤心处黯然神伤,激奋处拍案而起……仰观苍天,俯察大地,一种腋生双翼的感觉油然而生。精骛八极,思接千载,神游古今,可以大荒无限,咫尺千里,豆芥巨观缩龙成寸。自由自在晶莹剔透的灵魂啊,分明已化作奔月的嫦娥。静很美的冬夜,就着火炉,温一壶酒,读那些又静又美的书:可以是《红楼梦》,可以是《瓦尔登湖》、《追忆似水年华》,可以是张岱的《西湖梦寻》、袁枚的《小仓山房尺牍》、蒲松龄的《聊斋志异》,也可以是周作人的小品,唐弢的书话。当然,日本古代作家的随笔也可以,英国作家包斯威尔的《约翰生传》也可以,《板桥杂记》、《香艳丛书》也没什么不可以。古人刘向云:书犹药也,善读之可以医愚。列夫·托尔斯泰说:理想的书籍是智慧的钥匙。忧愁烦恼袭来时,不妨读唐诗,吟宋词,看艾芜的《南行记》。如此,春天的风秋天的雨,会渐渐冷却你急躁的情绪;弯弯的小桥潺潺的流水,可慢慢松弛你绷紧的神经。不知不觉中,你悠悠南行,那溪头卧剥莲蓬的小儿,那岭南见客羞遮面的村姑,无一不使你怡然自得,超然物外。此时烦恼何在!忧愁何存!一个生活得丰富圆满的人,是不会没有寂寞的。对于每个人来说,他人永远是水,自身永远是鱼。即或能在水里自由地游弋,也不能够溶于水,更不能与水合一。固然有挚友的安慰,情人的蜜语,但是所有的思想与情感,只能被理解,无法被分享。无论一人独处,还是朋友聚会,那一丝半缕的寂寞之感,都会不召自来,你泪流满面,读了又读,身外的一切有如潮水般退去,袒露出一片宁静而安详的心灵的沙滩。世界尽管像大海一样在周围起伏汹涌,你却可以仰观星空,俯察贝石,安之若素,处之泰然。这是一个孤独的境界,也是一个充实的境界。读千赋则善赋。读的书多了,便有了写作的欲望。没有为文造情的浮华,没有少年强说愁的伪善,一切顺其自然,有如小河小溪的水满了,就要向外溢。虽稚嫩但不失清纯,虽浅显而不失率真,我想,这样“言为心声,发而为诗”的文字就有其存在的价值。生活是一本大书,生存是一种哲学,行万里路读万卷书是智者所为。倘若能不囿于书,进而举一反三,引发出独到的思考和见解,则是一种生存之上的大境界了。 下列对这篇散文的赏析,不正确的选项是()。 ①作者认为书可以给人精神上的营养,好书可为诤友,好书可以相处一生。 ②静美的冬夜,火炉温酒,读静美的书,这是读书的乐趣所在。 ③“他人永远是水,自身永远是鱼”,是说一个人不能离开他人,但又要有自己独有的思想与情感。 ④作者认为读书多了,就会顺其自然地写出虽稚嫩但不失清纯、虽浅显而不失率真的文字。 ⑤作者认为读书而能不囿于书,体会生活而引发独到的思考和见解,才是人生的高境界、大境界。

A. ②④
B. ①②
C. ④⑤
D. ②③

Passage Two In general, our society is becoming one of giant enterprises directed by a bureaucratic management in which man becomes a small, well-oiled cog (齿轮) in the machinery. The oiling is done with higher wages, well-ventilated factories and piped (播送的) music, and by psychologists and "human-relations" experts; yet all this oiling does not alter the fact that man has become powerless, that he does not wholeheartedly participate in his work and that he is bored with it. In fact, the blue-and the white-collar workers have become economic puppets (木偶) who dance to the tune of automated machines and bureaucratic management. The worker and employee are anxious, not only because they might find themselves out of a job, they are anxious also because they are unable to acquire any real satisfaction or interest in life. They live and die without ever having confronted the fundamental realities of human existence as emotionally and intellectually independent and productive human beings. Those higher up on the social ladder are no less anxious. Their lives are no less empty than those of their subordinates. They are even more insecure in some respects. They are in a highly competitive race. To be promoted or to fall behind is not a matter of salary but even more a matter of self-respect. When they apply for their first job, they are tested for intelligence as well as for the right mixture of submissiveness and independence. From that moment on they are tested again—by the psychologists, for whom testing is a big business, and by their superiors, who judge their behavior, sociability, capacity to, get along, etc. This constant need to prove that one is as good as or better than one’s fellow-competitor creates constant anxiety and stress, the very causes of unhappiness and illness. Am I suggesting that we should return to the pre-industrial mode of production or to nineteenth century "free enterprise capitalism" Certainly not. Problems are never solved by returning to a stage which one has already outgrown. I suggest transforming our social system from a bureaucratically managed industrialism in which maximal production and consumption are ends in themselves into a humanist industrialism in which-man and full development of his potentialities—those of love and reason—are the aims of all social arrangements. Production and consumption should serve only as means to this end, and should be prevented from ruling man. The author’s attitude towards industrialism might best be summarized as one of ______ .

A. approval
B. dissatisfaction
C. suspicion
D. tolerance
