An employee who contributes ideas to his or her evaluation will be much more likely to agree with the outcome and be willing to follow the suggestionsThe employee appraisal system is to improve employee performance. While areas needing improvement must be reviewed，this should always be done in the spirit of discovering goals the employee can work towardThis holds true for reviewing successes as wellWhile praise for past achievements may be used as a reward，at the time of the evaluation，the primary reason to look at a persons success is to determine areas in which he or she can continue to excelPerhaps the most effective way to make the evaluation a participatory event is to ask the employee to come prepared to the meetingThe employer and employee each should carefully review the job description prior to the evaluation meeting and should make notes on areas in which the employee had difficulty or has made a contributionIt is important that these notes be specific；Does a good job is not nearly as meaningful as“Increased productivity by 35”Both parties should also draw up a short list of goals for the employee to achieve during the next evaluation period Ideally，these goals should build upon the known strengths and successes of the employee However，areas needing improvement must also be addressed63According to the passage，employees being evaluated_A. are often those who have newly obtained the jobBoften feel fearful and anxiousCoften have the feeling of being looked down uponDare often proud and confident64One way to make the employee being evaluated relax is to_Aask the employee to contribute ideasBserve biscuits and coffee at the meetingC. make the mood of the meeting comfortableDfocus only on the employees accomplishments65The main purpose of the employee appraisal system is to_A. get the employee to agree with the goals setBcreate a relaxing and encouraging climateC. help the employees to do an even better jobDdismiss the employee who isnt working hard66The goals for the future work should_A. be in a new area needing improvementBrequire great strengths of the employeesC. be within the list of the company goalsD. be based on the employees past achievement67What is the main topic of the passage?A.
