问题     You’ve landed the job of your dreams--the next thing to worry about is getting through the first day.
    Starting a new job can cause the same anxieties as the first day at a new school did when you were small. It’s natural to have worries such as "Can I cope with the work load?", "Will anyone speak to me at break-time?" and "Where are the toilets?"
    Make sure you dress appropriately and follow the dress code if there is one. If you can’t remember what it is, phone up and ask. Different work places have varying dress requirements and it pays to be prepared. Make sure you turn up on time. Punctuality impresses and nothing annoys bosses or new colleagues more than late starters. Check out your route into work and do a dry run if possible.
    Don’t bring in a packed lunch at first. A friendly soul may invite you for lunch and getting to know your colleagues socially is always a good move. Spend the first couple of days listening and checking out who’s who and who does what. Be especially aware of the social order, queue jumping the managing director when buying lunch probably won’t put you on a fast track to promotion.
    If you’re not sure about something, ask, even if it’s just how to answer the phone. You can
avoid embarrassing mistakes and everyone needs a little on-the-job training. Nobody expects you to know everything on day one.
    Stay at your desk as much as possible and look busy. Try not to cause offence— it’s better to be painfully politically correct for a few days than thought of as the office somebody. One last tip— offer to get the coffee. It’s a good way for niceness and it helps in getting to know everyone’s names.
选项 A、to run to work
B、to test the route in advance in person
C、not to make your feet wet on the way work
D、to walk as quickly as possible
答案B
解析 利用上文的信息punctuality impresses and nothing annoys bosses or new colleagues more than late starters．“准时给人留下好印象，没有比迟到的新人更让老板和同事恼火的了”，所以作者建议 check out your route into work and do a dry run if possible“查看你的上班路线，如果可能的话，走一遍试试(看要多长时间)”。所以答案为 [B]。
