Questions 170-172 refer to the following diary entries.
Diary entries for a new employee
Day 1: I hate being new! All first days are the same. All I did was fill in countless forms and watch the person who I will be replacing do his job. Hope tomorrow will be better. Got to see the boss a couple of times. He put his head around the door once or twice to see how I was getting on. Seems like a nice guy.
Day2: Still not doing anything. Just trying to learn everyone’s names and who does what.
Day 3: Hard to remember who’s who, but slowly getting there. All I did today was make a few copies and keep watching other people work.
Day 4: The boss seems to be concerned that I am already getting a little frustrated. Assured him that I am not. Need to do a better job at disguising my feelings.
Day 5: Finally given some work to do. Been checking payments all day. Very boring, but just happy to have finally been given something to do. Could have done this on my first day instead of all the watching. A big relief to be doing something that I know I can do well, and to be contributing something. Looking forward to next week!

Part7. 單篇/雙篇文章理解
第170-172題
一名新進員工的日記
第一天:我討厭當新人!所有的第一天都一樣。所有我做的事就是填寫數不清的表格,還有看著我將替補他職位的人做些什麼。希望明天會比較好。必須去見老闆幾次。他探頭在門邊偷看我一兩次,好看我適應的如何。似乎是個很好的人。
第二天:仍然沒有做什麼事。只是試著學每個人的名字與工作內容。
第三天:很難記得誰是誰,但是有慢慢地記起來。今天我做的事只有影印幾張資料,以及繼續看別人工作。
第四天:老闆似乎擔心我已經有點沮喪。我向他保證我沒有。我需要把我的情緒掩飾得更好。
第五天:終於給了我一些工作做。整天都在檢查支付的款項。非常乏味,但是就是很開心終於給了些東西讓我做。大可在第一天就做這件事,而不是只在一旁觀看。知道我能做某件事很好,並貢獻一些心力,讓我鬆了一口氣。期待下星期!
170. 答案:(A) 在第四天,這位新進員工認為他/他應該把什麼做得更好?
(A) 假裝他/她滿意
(B) 記得人的名字
(C) 更努力工作
(C) 看起來更沮喪
解說:原文第四段第一句,“The boss seems to be concerned that I am already getting a little” frustrated,表示老闆擔心他沮喪;第二句,“Assured him that I am not. Need to do a better job at disguising my feelings”,他向老闆保證他沒有沮喪,然後他說自己應該把情緒掩飾的更好,意味他的情緒是沮喪的,要掩飾成相反的滿意樣子,故選(A)。
171. 答案:(B) 新進員工在整個前四天主要的沮喪是什麼?
(A) 他/她不能記得每個人的名字
(B) 他/她沒有真正的工作可作
(C) 老闆擔心他/她
(D) 其他員工不喜歡被盯著看
解說:原文第一段第二句,“All I did was fill in countless forms and watch the person who I will be replacing do his job”,表示第一天只填表格和在一旁看;第二段第一句,“Still not doing anything”,表示第二天跟第一天一樣什麼也沒做;第三段第一句,“All I did today was make a few copies and keep watching other people work”,表示只印了幾張文件就又在一旁看;第四段第三句,“Need to do a better job at disguising my feelings”,他的沮喪是真的,因為他說必須把自己的情緒掩飾好一點,第五段第一句,“Finally given some work to do”,直到第五天他覺得終於有一些工作可做,代表在那之前他認為自己都沒有做些什麼工作,所以前四天的沮喪是因為這個因素,故選(B)。
172. 答案:(C) 這名新進員工在一週結束時有什麼感覺?
(A) 失望
(B) 擔心
(C) 放鬆
(D) 沮喪

If you want to achieve your ideal TOEIC score, you will need to take the test seriously, but that does not mean that the preparation needs to be so solemn. This book is written in the hope that the articles within it are sufficiently interesting to hold its readers’ attention, so that the preparation process is not a dull experience.
Completing these review tests is not meant to simply prepare you for TOEIC, but also to teach you something. I’m sure that you will meet some new things in this book, especially vocabulary, and my intention is for you to learn from it.
Don’t become disappointed from mistakes- learn from them. Many question types are repeated in later tests. If you get them right the second time, then you have accomplished the goal of this book.
I hope that this book helps you reach your desired TOEIC score.
Matthew Gunton
要達到自己理想中的多益(TOEIC)成績,就得以認真的態度準備這項測驗,但是並不代表準備過程必須是嚴肅的。本書內文題材充分展現趣味性,能成功抓住讀者的專注力,在準備測驗的過程中,不感到枯燥乏味。
做完這五回複習測驗,不只代表你已準備好應考多益(TOEIC)測驗,這些試題更是達到教授英語的目的。我確信你將在本書遇到一些沒學過的部分,尤其是字彙。本書的意涵,也是要讓讀者能從中獲得新知。
千萬別因為寫錯而感到挫敗──把它學會。會有很多類似題型在這五回測驗裡重覆出現。如果你能在第二次答對先前寫錯的類似題型,那麼你便達到了本書的目標。
我期盼本書,能助你達到心中理想的多益(TOEIC)測驗成績。
