How to Handle a Bad Performance Review Getting a bad performance review can make you feel angry, unappreciated, defeated, and hopeless. But it's not the end of the world. Remember that the way you respond to this appraisal can make all the difference in the next one. Even if you believe that the review is inaccurate and that your boss is completely wrong, you will benefit by reacting in a mature, adult manner. Here are some suggestions: Stay calm. Relax. Breathe. Do not overreact and be objective. Especially, do not say things that will likely be regretted later. Besides, the person giving the performance review may or may not be the one who has written the bad review. What to Do When Receiving a Bad Performance Review It's best to listen attentively. And make comments or remarks only when asked for them. Besides, during the performance review, you will be given the chance to respond and may disagree. What to Do After Receiving a Bad Performance Review Don't be intimidated by the bad performance review and want to quit the job; instead, learn from it. Also, if the organization allows their employees to make a written statement on their own behalf, do make one. It is important for the worker to show why she does not agree with the bed performance review; for instance, an employee may express their different understanding and, at the same time, a willingness to comply with any constructive suggestions. Ways to Improve a Bad Performance Review A way to improve a bad performance review is to set self-reviews, that is, establish performance standards. Another way to improve a bad review is to learn more about what the manager, supervisor, or boss wants or expects from his/her employees. Learning what it was that caused a bad performance review helps to improve professional growth and encourages as well as motivates the worker to do better in order to receive a good review next time. 操作提示：通过题目后的下拉选项框选择正确答案。1.What should you do when you are given a bad performance review?A.

Man's first roan invention, and one of the most important inventions in history, was the w

heel. All transportation and every machine in the world depend on it. The wheel is the simplest yet perhaps the most remarkable of an] inventions, because there are no wheels in nature no living thing was ever created with wheels. How, then, did man come to invent the wheel？ Perhaps some early hunters found that they could carry it. However, the logs themselves weighed a lot.

It must have taken a great prehistoric thinker to imagine two thin slices of log connected, at their centers by a string stick, this would roll along just as the logs did, yet be much lighter and easier to handle, thus the wheel and axle came into being and with them the first cart.

The wheel is important because ______ .

A．it was man' s first real invention

B．all transportation depends on it

C．every machine depends on it

D．both B and C

A moment's drilling by the dentist may make us nervous and upset.Many of us cannot

stand pain.To avoid the pain of a drilling that may last perhaps a minute or two, we demand the “needle”-a shot of Novocain (奴佛卡因) - that deadens the nerves around the tooth.

Now it's true that the human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it.This helps us adjust to the world.Without our nerves and our brain, which is a bundle of nerves, we wouldn't know what's happening.But we pay for our sensitivity.We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body.The history of torture is based on the human body being open to pain.

But there is a way to handle pain.Look at the Indian fakir (苦行僧) who sits on a bed of nails.Fakirs can put a needle right through an arm, and feel no pain.This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.

The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude towards it.If the dentist says, “This will hurt a little,” it helps us to accept the pain.By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation we can handle the pain without falling apart.After all, although pain is an unpleasant sensation, it is still a sensation, and sensations are the stuff of life.

26.The passage is mainly about().

A.how to suffer pain

B.how to avoid pain

C.how to handle pain

D.how to stop pain

27.Th e sentence “But we pay for our sensitivity.” in the second paragraph implies that ()

A.we should pay a debt for our feeling

B.we have to be hurt when we feel something

C.our pain is worth feeling

D.when we feel pain, we are suffering it

28.When the author mentions the Indian fakir, he suggests that().

A.Indians are not at all afraid of pain

B.people may be senseless of pain

C.some people are able to handle pain

D.fakirs have magic to put needles right through their arms

29.The most important thing to handle pain is ()

A.how we look at pain

B.to feel pain as much as possible

C.to show an interest in pain

D.to accept the pain reluctantly

30.The author's attitude towards pain is().

Silent Listening

If something bad just happened (happen) to your friend, what would you do？ Would you mention it to him and say you feel sorry about it？ Would you offer support or advice？ According to Ruth Clark, such 41 (treat) could mean well, but it might not be what he 42 (real) wants or needs.

Clark asked some college students to imagine some 43 (pleasant) situations, e.g., a low exam grade or the dad’s 44 (lose) of his job.The students were then 45 (ask) how they would like to be treated by a friend who learned of the bad situation from someone else.The results were a little 46 (surprise).Some said they would want and expect their friend to mention the 47 (annoy) situation, but most of the students in the study 48 (respond) that they would like the friend not to do it.The students made the 49 (decide) for themselves whether to discuss their problem with a friend.So, there is value in being a silent 50 (listen) around a troubled friend.

One friend once said to me, "Do you know that most college students can't even put semi-co

lons(分号) in the right place？" Emphatic voices like his have recently made writing courses popular, strangely popular because of their hard-nosed attitude toward correct writing. Most administrators and teachers extend this medicinal metaphor (隐喻), they agree that students are suffering from a serious disease. Many tests identify increasing numbers of student writers as skills cripples (跛子), and they need treatment. Remedial courses are given everywhere. More writing labs are appearing and expanding.

Many students are willing to believe that there is really something wrong with them. More students than ever before tell me and my colleagues that they are indeed bad writers and need lots of help with grammar and punctuation. I feel like a doctor, my job is to diagnose (诊断) the disease and prescribe cures whenever I read student writing, It would be easy enough for me to circle spelling errors, cross out unnecessary commas, line out wordy sentences. And knowing that this sort of marking can sting, I would of course write, onto the end of the paper, something about how I know the student really tried hard, something about his rich imagination or his clear potential for doing well.

But I wonder whether all these well-intentioned scrawls (潦草写几句话) would do little more than confirm my student’s fears about how crippled he is.

According to the passage, a "skills cripple" is someone who ______. ()

A．is seriously ill

B．has a rich imagination

C．is a bad writer

D．has a serious injury to the leg

Faces, like fingerprints（指纹) , are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us

Faces, like fingerprints(指纹) , are unique. Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people？ Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the features that make one face different from another. Yet a very young child—or even an animal, such as a pigeon—can learn to recognize faces. We all take this ability for granted.

We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone's personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts, speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others.

Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone's personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what a "nice face" looked like, you probably would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a" nice person" , you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate (考虑周到的) , friendly, warm, and so forth.

There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels and acts. Gordon an Ports, an American psychologist, found nearly 18, 000 English words characterizing differences in people's behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military types—people are described with such terms.

People have always tried to" type" each other. Actors in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain's (坏人) or the hero 's role. In fact, the words "person" and" personality" come from the Latin persona, meaning " mask " . Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the "good guys" from the "bad guys" because the two types differ in appearance as well as in actions.

The main idea of this passage is ______.

A．how to distinguish people's faces

B．how to describe people's personality

C．how to distinguish people both inward (内向的) and outward (外向的)

D．how to differ good persons from bad persons
