Is complaining harming you or your team? If complaining is holding you back, I know how you feel.I used to be a complainer.Thats why I knew what Rachel needed to hear.I was in a similar situation 10 years ago.But Ive learned that when you stop complaining and take positive action, you start winning.Give it a try!【語篇解讀】在作者的建議下，Rachel改變態(tài)度不再抱怨，工作業(yè)績也提高了。1The writer wrote this passage to_.Aexplain the harm of complainingBshow how proud he is of himselfCsay sorry to Rachel for what he didDencourage readers to get rid of the habit of complaining【解析】作者意圖題。通讀全文可知，作者主要是講不抱怨的好處，故可推斷，他主要是想鼓勵(lì)我們改變抱怨的習(xí)慣。【答案】D2Whats the writers advice to Rachel?ATo start a business of her own.BTo stop complaining in front of him.CTo stop talking to him for a few months.DTo find a new job or change her attitude towards her present job.【解析】細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第二段的“.Either change your job or change your attitude towards your job.”，可知應(yīng)選D?！敬鸢浮緿3What do we learn about Rachel?AShe is very easy to deal with.BShe is the best friend of the writer.CShe has benefited from what the writer said.DShe doesnt like following other peoples advice.【解析】推理判斷題。根據(jù)第三段的“.she decided to take my advice.She stayed in her job, stopped complaining and started selling more.”可知，Rachel采納了作者的建議，改變了抱怨的習(xí)慣，終于把業(yè)績提上去了，故選C。【答案】C4How does the writer make his point clear?ABy telling stories of famous people.BBy referring to scientific data.CBy following the order of time.DBy giving examples.【解析】文章結(jié)構(gòu)題。通讀全文可知，作者主要是通過舉Rachel和他自己的例子來說明他的觀點(diǎn)的。【答案】DBAbout ten men in every hundred suffer from colour blindness in some way.Women are luckier;
