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!【语篇解读】在作者的建议下，Rachel改变态度不再抱怨，工作业绩也提高了。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】作者意图题。通读全文可知，作者主要是讲不抱怨的好处，故可推断，他主要是想鼓励我们改变抱怨的习惯。【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】细节理解题。根据第二段的“.Either change your job or change your attitude towards your job.”，可知应选D。【答案】D3What 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】推理判断题。根据第三段的“.she decided to take my advice.She stayed in her job, stopped complaining and started selling more.”可知，Rachel采纳了作者的建议，改变了抱怨的习惯，终于把业绩提上去了，故选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】文章结构题。通读全文可知，作者主要是通过举Rachel和他自己的例子来说明他的观点的。【答案】DBAbout ten men in every hundred suffer from colour blindness in some way.Women are luckier;
