6 (p57)
Possible answers:
(1) Many people will respond that it is unethical,however, it is also a cultural issue since people from some countries would take the attitude that if it gets you the job then it is acceptable. It may also be the case that an applicant doesn't have the right qualification but is still able to do the job well.
(2) You would expect that all managers should talk to the person in question about an issue and also to anyone involved such as colleagues of the person.
(3) Good communication can avoid problems before they get out of control. Staf

f problems can be caused by problems at home or difficulties with other members of the team. By regularly talking to staff a manager might be able to predict issues even before they arise and take action.
(4) This will often depend on the level of the post. Senior managers may often have three to six months as a notice period whereas the basic employee any only have as little as a week in which to find a new job.
(5) Response will include qualifications, references, character and personality, how they work with others, reasons for leaving the other job,etc.
(6) Many companies have a policy of one verbal warning, a written warning and finally the employee is fired. If your students work, find out from then what is normal in their company. Also discuss reasons for hiring. For example, are issues such as sexual harassment, lateness or being caught using the Internet for personal use grounds for sacking?
(7) Students might feel that if a company has not been honest with them that it is appropriate to leave.

考试攻略：本练习与BEC中级阅读考试的第五部分类似。
2(p60)
提示：本道练习的题型与BEC中级阅读考试第二部分的题型类似。该部分是句子填空题。真题中的文章被抽出6个句子，其中含一范例。考生从所给的7个句子中（含范例）选择适合的句子填入空白处。这题主要测试考生对整个语篇意义的理解能力以及对语篇衔接和连贯——即语篇逻辑关系的分辨能力。这个题型与传统的阅读题型不同。要做好这一道题，具备上下文意识、对语篇整体意义的理解能力以及对语篇衔接手段的判断能力至关重要。要注意所给的上下文之间是否存在词汇、语法和语义上的衔接，如：单词重复、词汇照应、替代、词汇组合、词语连接等，这些衔接手段往往为预测和判断要填空的句子内容提供了依据：另外要注意填入空格中的句子与其上下文的逻辑关系，特别要注意所给的备用句子中含有的衔接性词语。
(1)B(2)F(3)D(4)A(5)E(6)C

Writing: an email
4 (p63)
提示：学生可能需要用到练习2和练习3中的一些表达法来完成这一系列电子邮件。就像其他部分的角色扮演一样，学生结对练习，只是在本写作练习中每个学生要扮演两个角色。和其他学生交换电子邮件，意在让他们在交流中修改信件的某些部分。设定一个时间限制（大约每封邮件2分钟）这样可练习快速流利的写作。最后，他们要把自己的作品读出来，做出改进，或想想怎样提高邮件写作。
