21、 Nobody likes to think they are "that guy" at work. 【1】 So, what are some of the rudest things that people do at work - and why shouldn't you do them?
• Behaving in an unacceptable way
The most common form of this is eating smelly foods at lunchtime. Other things alike include body smell and its opposite, the wearing of strong perfume, messy desks, or bad breath. 【2】
• Checking email on your phone when you're talking to other people
A recent survey shows that 49 percent of people said their bosses checked their phones while talking with them. 【3】 If you've ever wondered why your team members are unmotivated, this may be why. In fact, when you're talking to someone at work, you should reject any non-important calls.
• 【4】
Do you like the sound of your own voice? Great. Perhaps it's time you learned to like the sound of other people's voices too. If you interrupt others when they speak, they'll dislike you and discount whatever you're saying. However, if you listen to what others say and show interest by asking intelligent questions, they'll love you and be likely to give you their support when you speak,
• Boasting about how much you earn
【5】 If you show off your income to someone and then discover you get less than them, you'll look like a fool. If you earn more, they'll feel tired of you. So keep them guessing and hide your earning power in quiet ways 一 like always paying for the team coffees.
A.Talking all the time
B.Being a good listener
C.Team-working can never be ignored.
D.All these things will become part of your personal brand.
E.It's better to be modest when you talk about your incomes.
F.Bad behavior at work is common --and often we do it without thinking.
G.An interesting email seems more valuable than the person you are actually talking to.

23、Nick Vujicic was born with no arms or legs, but he doesn’t let this stop him.
The brave 26-year-old man plays football and golf, and swims, in spite of the fact that he has no arms or legs.
Nick has a small foot on his left side, which helps him balance and makes him able to kick. He uses his one foot to type, write with a pen and pick things up.
“I call it my chicken drumstick,” joked Nick, who was born in Melbourne, Australia, but now lives in Los Angeles. “I’d be lost without it. When I get in the water I float because 80 percent of my body is lungs and my drumstick acts as a propeller.”
“He’s very modest, but he gets marriage proposals from women all the time,” said Nick’s friend Steve Appel. “He would love to get married and start a family, but he’s waiting for the right girl to come along.”
When Nick was born, his father was so shocked that he left the hospital room. His distraught mother couldn’t bring herself to hold him until he was four months old.
His disability came without any medical explanation, which was a rare case. Nick and his parents spent many years asking why this cruel trick would happen to them.
“My mother was a nurse and she did everything right during pregnancy but she still blamed herself,” he said.
“It was so hard for them, but right from the start they did their best to make me independent. My dad put me in the water at 18 months and gave me the courage to learn how to swim.”
【1】We can learn from the text that Nick ________.
A．has a poor sense of balance
B．understands his mother very well
C．considers his small foot ugly
D．is disappointed with his health condition
【2】What can we learn from what Steve Appel said?
A．Nick Vujicic is serious about his marriage.
B．Nick Vujicic is not popular with women.
C．Nick Vujicic is afraid of starting a family.
D．Nick Vujicic is not willing to get married.
【3】The underlined word “distraught” in the text probably means ________.
A．cold-blooded
B．bad-tempered
C．really shy
D．extremely upset
【4】Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．Nick’s parents couldn’t afford the hospital bill.
B．Nick is living in Melbourne, Australia now.
