Once starting an internship,make the most of it.Above all.be realistic.Some people approach internships with a sense of entitlement,said Mark Oldman,founder of Vault,a career Web site,and the author of several books on internships.He added.‘it’s hard to go from a campus hot stuff to a corporate layman,and it’s ridicuious when some interns want to come in and change everything.’ (9) . If you feel clueless,use that to your advantage. (10) .Interns generally have more freedom than the average employee to pass across departments and hierarchies in search of help.They can gain valuable knowledge and mentors,because most people enjoy sharing their experience with a younger generation. In general,Mr.Oldman said,‘It’s important for an intern to quickly decode the culture of the company and not step outside that.’That extends to the way you dress,Mr.Challenger said.‘A lot of times when you’re younger you want to show how unique you are rather than identify with others,’he said. (11) . In the opinion of Mr.Oldman,internships are an ideal way for employers to find out whether a new worker is suitable for a particular job. (12) .Therefore,as an intern,when you are asked to perform tasks that are boring and unimportant,you shouldn’t feel wronged by that.You should be willing to do such work because that shows you are a hard worker,said Mr.Oldman. (13) .‘Look for work,but do it gently or indirectly,and not too assertively,’Mr.Oldman added.‘do what’s asked of you optimally and then offer your services for additional projects.’ Last but not least,there’s something you can do to improve the chances that your internship will lead to a job offer.Before you leave,‘build a bridge to the future,’Mr.Oldman said.Go over what you learned with your managers.and tell them how much you appreciated the opportunity to work with them. (14) .That way,even if your internship does not lead to a job at that company,it will help clear a path to your eventual employer. A.They enable employers to see who works hard,who gets along with everybody,who seems to fit Into their culture. B.And ask whether your managers would be willing to write a letter of recommendation before you leave. C.It is much more appropriate to approach the internship with a learning attitude,as suggested by Mr.Oldman. D.Many interns don’t attach sufficient importance to this E.At the same time.be on the lookout for projects that will let you make good use of more advanced skills. F.The power of curious interns can’t be overestimated. G.In the workplace,however,you tend to be judged by your willingness to fit into the group’s norms. H.But now an internship is seen as a vital first career step,he said。

· Read the following a~icle about team work and answer the questions on the opposite page. · For each question 15-20,mark one letter(A,B,C or D)on your Answer Sheet for the answer you choose.Is your group really a team Teams are all the rage in the workplace today,and every organization speaks of the importance of teams.But just because a group of people work together does not necessarily make them a team.There are essential elements that identify teams,and nurturing them will help you become a good team leader. Let’s begin with a definition of what a team really is.Teams are groups of individuals who accomplish designated objectives by working interdependenlIy,communicating effectively,and making decisions that impact their day to day work.So the first question to ask yourself is,‘How close does my team come to this definton’If it doesn’t measure up to the definition,then you are not really leading a team.You are probably managing a work group.There is absolutely nothing wrong with a work group.A work group can achieve great results with your close supemision.The idea,however,in today’s changing organization and our competitive global marketplace,is to develop teams that can work autonomously without your close direction and support. In a team.members share decision-making and often build consensus,with two-way communication between manager and members.There are joint work assignments and accountability on both the individual and team levels.In a work group,the manager is the decision-maker,and there is a one-way,top-down pattern of communication。Each member has individual work assignments,and each person is held accountable and appraised by the manager. Whether you operate as a work group or a team depends on three factors.Firstly,the skill and motivational level of members.Skilled and motivated employees need to be able to make decisions on their own and communicate upwardly when they need to.This is a model for working as a team.Secondly,the nature of the work.Some work situations do not call for members to make decisions together,nor is there a need for much two way communication among team members and their manager.But if there is a need for both,you have a team.Thirdly,the manager’s belief that indMduals can work autonomously and interdependently.This attitude is essential for today’s workplace。When managers do not hold this belief,they will favor the work group over the team. To get a group of individuals to function as a team,it is necessary to highlight the following issues.As for team members.everyone of them needs to know what he or she is supposed to accomplish and how it fits in with what other team members do.And they must be allowed to make decisions that impact their work products and semices.When we give people ownership over what they are doing,they perform much better.Last but not least.team members cannot hold back on any comments that will help the team grow and prosper.As for the team leader,he or she should have the technical knowledge of what the team is doing,as well as be able to motivate and inspire the team.A qualified leader should always be ready to acknowledge team members’accomplishment.Members need ongoing reminders that their efforts are valued and appreciated so that they can sustain high levels of performance. According to the author,a good team leader

A. provides timely help to eVery member.
B. execs positive influence on team members’performance.
C. is a self-motivated person.
