He used to be so appreciative that I didn t mind doing a little extra, but about two months ago, he started being rude and demanding. Now he even yells when I don t have time to bring his
27、favorite wine to his home after work. This change started when we met a wealthy new customer, who is a huge jerk (古怪的人 ) - my boss s new behavior is just like his. My boss is a good man; he and his family have treated me like a little sister. Is there a good way to discuss this with him? Karla: Soun
28、ds like your new customer has set a bad example to your boss. You ne ed to remind your boss that you re in his corner- but you re not his slave. My suggestions are as follows. Start with a simple question in a calm moment: “ Is everything okay?” . State the truth: “ Until recently, I ve felt like a
29、valued teammate. But our relationship has become tense. Your expectations of me seem to have changed. Although I used to do occasional personal businesses for you as a favor, now it seems expected.” Draw your lines: “ If you think my job description needs to change or my performance is not good enou
30、gh, let s discuss that. Otherwise, I need you to stop yelling at me and to respect my personal time.” Ideally, you ll get an apology and a promise to do better.

31、is request and add, “ Is that correct?” For the unreasonable request, such as fetching his favorite wine after work: “ I m afraid I can t take care of that for you.” If he keeps acting like a jerk, there are bosses out there who will better respect your time and talent.

32、ear your work dramas. Send your questions to . 28. We can infer that the reader s boss used to be _.

34、 solved by Karla L. Miller? A. How do I make a friend? B. How do I kill my personal time? C. How can I get along well with my workmates? D. How can I get rid of wine? D Nearly 19 percent of teachers of color(有色人种教师) left their jobs after the 2014-2015 school year. Some left for personal reasons like
35、 taking care of their families. But 50 percent said they left because they were dissatisfied with their employment situation, such as poor working conditions, student discipline problems and large class sizes. Thus, taking immediate measures to improve it is our top priority. For years, researchers
36、have proved the benefits of increasing the share of minority teachers in schools, especially as our public school system has turned to one that is made up mostly of minority students. Teachers of color, who are more likely than their white counterparts to choose to work in racially diverse(多种多样的 ) s
37、chools, offer particular benefits to their students. Graduation rates increase among minority students when they are taught by racially similar educators, research shows. They can also serve as positive role models, and their presence reduces the chance of racial discrimination at school. The Shanke
38、r Institute report suggests that the rate of minority teacher hiring is not the whole problem. The problem is what happens after these teachers enter the classroom. These teachers often work in high-poverty rural schools. They are more likely to have less-desirable working conditions. Diversity is a
39、 key component to equality and opportunity. Where there s a diverse teaching workforce, all kids thrive. So solutions must be found at once to turn this trend around. Firstly, schools should develop mentorship programs that support minority teachers once they are in the classroom. Secondly, more mon
40、ey should be spent in improving working conditions in these schools. Of course, school headmasters should also be evaluated on their ability to retain teachers of color. 32.

41、d to move to other places C. they eventually found better-paid jobs D. their employment situation was unsatisfactory 33. Which of the following is the main idea of the second paragraph? A.

42、 of minority teachers in schools. C. The reasons for teachers of color leaving their jobs in many schools. D. The ways to decrease the possibility of racial discrimination at school. 34. Which of the following components is vital to equality and opportunity? A. Honesty B. Variety C. Ability D. Safet
43、y 35. How did the author feel when writing the passage? A. He felt angry about the government. B. He was satisfied with the present situation. C. He felt it urgent to solve the problem. D. He didn t care about diverse teaching workforce. 第二节（共5 小题；每小题2分，满分10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余
44、选项。 Humor plays an important role in relationships. In new relationships, humor can be an effective tool not just for attracting the other person but also for overcoming any awkwardness or embarrassment. 36 Sharing the pleasure of humor creates a sense of connection between two people.
