However, its observed that many people arent aware of the workplace etiquette and this creates a very bad impression in the office. So its important to know some workplace etiquette tips.Among all the workplace etiquette guidelines, the most important is to be punctual to your office. Though going late due to an emergency is okay, habitual late comers are never appreciated in any organization. By arriving at your office on time, you show that youre aware of your responsibilities and have respect for the organization. In case you feel that you would be late, call the concerned authority and report the matter to him or her.Also, a proper knowledge of the workplace email etiquette is a must. In the official emails, you need to mention the subject briefly, while at the same time include all the important details which are to be shared. You should use good and grammatically correct language while writing emails.A knowledge of telephone etiquette in the workplace is very important as well. While talking on the telephone, be polite and listen to what theyre saying carefully. Only then should you say what you feel. Speak in a voice which would be heard clearly at the other end.The workplace guidelines are important even while youre dining or celebrating with your coworkers. If you get a call in between, receive it after youre permitted by the others by saying “excuse me”. Dont talk loudly while eating. Greet people well and try to make them feel comfortable while being in your company.These guidelines will help you become the best employee of a company. All the best!60. The intended readers of the passage are _.A. managers in charge of a company B. students of a business classC. people who are hunting for jobs D. ordinary employees in a company61. Why should you try to be punctual?A. To prove you are not a habitual late comerB. To respect the rules of the organizationC.

Mountain air contains less oxygen than air at lower altitudes(海拔), so breathing it causes the heart to beat faster and the body to burn more energy. Studies have found that athletes training at high altitudes tend to lose weight. Doctor Florian Lippl in Germany wondered how the mountain air would affect obese（肥胖的） individuals if they werent doing any more physical activity than usual.Lippl and his colleagues invited 20 obese men to an environmental research station about 300 meters below the summit of Zugspitze, a mountain around 2,970 meters near the Austrian border. This was no hiking expedition. They were allowed to eat as much as they liked. The men also gave blood so that researchers could test for hormones (荷尔蒙) linked to appetite（食欲）and obesity. At the end of the week, the men, whose weight starting out was 105 kilograms, had lost about 1.5 kg on average. The mens blood pressure also dropped, which the researchers owed to weight loss.Exactly what caused the weight loss is uncertain. Loss of appetite is common at higher altitudes, and indeed the men ate significantly less than usual about 700 calories fewer per day.Appetite loss at high altitudes could certainly be key, notes Damian Bailey, a physiologist, who himself recently lost 11 kg during a 3month expedition to the Andes in Chile.Lippl says, half jokingly, “If obese people plan their holidays, they might not go to the sea, but maybe to the mountains.”64Hormones were tested in the research because they could affect _.Aones body weight Bones blood pressure Cones way of living Dones heartbeating rate65What was found about the 20 obese men in the process of the research?AThey were controlled what to eat. BThey took in fewer calories than usual.CThey lost appetite because of lack of physical activities.DThey were provided with a healthier diet than before.66Why does Damian Bailey agree with the idea of appetite loss at high altitudes?AHe experimented with the new weight loss plan in the Andes.BHe found no other reasons for his loss of weight in the Andes.CHe researched the related subject in the Andes.DHe lost much weight in the high altitude of the Andes. (D)Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along. With any relationship, you need to let other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesnt solve anything.Communication begins with the concerns (关心) of another. It means that you cant just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore (不理睬) everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance(表达)of information, correspondence(通信), means of communication: a letter or a message”. To maintain (保持) a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if its just by writing a note.When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that youll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party
