&8226;Read this text from an article about job references.
&8226;Choose the best sentence from the opposite page to fill each of the gaps.
&8226;For each gap 9-14, mark one letter (A-H) on your Answer Sheet.
&8226;Do not use any letter more than once.
&8226;There is an example at the beginning, (0).
REFERENCES CANNOT ALWAYS BE TRUSTED BY
POTENTIAL EMPLOYERS
Dull, but reliable, will make a good parent' - so said a head teacher's reference which I was once sent for a school-leaver. (0) H
Most references are unreliable, although recruiters usually ask for them. Few ask for character references today, as these have proved useless. (9) However, these cannot always be trusted. A few may be biased. (10) This can also occur if there has been friction between boss and subordinate over personal or business matters.
On the other hand, there can also be positive bias. An employer who wants to get rid of someone may fail to mention any relevant failings or even give a glowing report to help the individual go quickly. (11) But if they do, the law in Britain says they owe a duty of care to both the employer to whom it is supplied and to the individual to whom it refers.
Most written references are unreliable because they are not specific enough. So how do you, and a potential employer, ensure that any reference given on your behalf is genuinely helpful? (12) Employers normally expect two: one, your immediate superior in your current or most recent job; the other, your boss in the post before, so long as it was in the last five years or so. For a senior post, more may be required.
For their part, no prospective employer should approach your current employer until you have an offer 'subject to references' and you have given permission. (13)
Once you get the offer, and before giving permission to make contact, tell your boss and explain that the prospective employer will be asking for a reference. Do this face-to-face and during the meeting describe the job for which you have applied. If you can provide a job description or the relevant job advertisements, even better. (14)
Even if your referee does express some doubts about your fitness for the post, don't worry, employers often prefer to back their own judgement.
A. It would also be wrong for anyone to contact your penultimate firm before then because word may reach your current employer on the grapevine.
B. In fact, employers do not have to give references at all.
C. These might include your boss's immediate senior and someone at the same level as your boss who is familiar with your work.
D. Your boss can then match the reference needs to the needs of the job.
E. What they seek are references from previous employers.
F. Some managers think it an act of disloyalty if an employee applies for a job elsewhere and will give poor references or only weak praise.
G. Firstly, as an employee, make sure you choose the right referees.
H. It amused me at the time, but said more about the referee than the candidate.

第6题
— Which company (A, B, C or D) does Bach sentence 1-7 refer to?
— For each sentence 1 - 7, mark one letter (A, B, C or D) on your Answer Sheet.
— You will need to use some of the letters more than once.
A
If you are a secretary, or personal assistant, getting a new manager means that your job will probably change, too. The new person is likely to have different ideas about how things should be done, and you may well find that some of these are changes for the better. But remember that the new manager might be feeling nervous. If you treat their first day in the job as though it's your own first day, too, it will ease the transition for them, and benefit you both.
B
Your new manager may have different ideas from your previous one about personal habits, such as eating at your desk, and you will have to accept that. Their changes may not always be appropriate or helpful, however. It could be that you are asked to open the post later on in the day, when you know that it is important to get it sorted first thing. In this case, rather than grumbling about it and spreading discontent around the office, explain if there is a genuine reason for a particular way of working.
C
If your new manager has joined the company from outside, they will be on a steep learning curve. You can really show your worth by bring them up to speed on the company history and culture. The appointment of a new manager is also the ideal opportunity for you to discuss your prospects for training and promotion with them, though raising the subject on their first day is unlikely to give them a good impression of you.
D
If you are concerned about changes that your new manager wants to make to your job, first check your job description, if you have one, then speak to him or her calmly about it. If work is being put your way that is someone else's responsibility, say so. Make it clear what you believe to be the limits of your job. Ideally, the two of you will come to an agreement that suits both parties. failing that, consider contacting the human resources department to see if it can act as mediator.
You may be able to explore your career development with your new manager.

Hi Kathy,
I saw this ad today and thought you would be interested. You have exactly the work experience they are looking for, and the office is close to your apartment. That new car you were talking about buying wouldn't be necessary. The position Is with a reputable company, too. My cousin Don Wade is the chair of the board. It's too bad you can't make it to my brother's wedding. Don will be there, and I could have introduced you.
If you decide to apply, let me know. I can at least send Don an e-mail and give a personal reference to him for you. He is usually in charge of conducting the interviews.
On the other hand, I haven't heard from you in a few weeks, so maybe you have already found some work. If you do apply, don't forget to attach your résumé after you fill in the online application.
Take care,
Althea
