Question

Before you accept a job offer, it’s important to really think about the offer. Here are some suggestions about the things you need to consider.

1.

Firstly, is the salary (薪水) listed on your contract and documents the same as you were offered? Secondly, are you happy with the amount? Do you think that the pay you’ll receive is fair for your skill sets and experience? Be sure to do a little market research to ensure you’re being paid a reasonable amount.

Will the location work for you?

No matter how good a role, there’s no point accepting a job offer that is too far from your home. If you’re already spending 40 hours a week at work, adding three hours a day commuting (来回上下班) is far from ideal. 2.

Is there any career development?

It’s all very good if the job you’ve been offered is exactly what you want at the moment, but what about the future? 3. We recommend asking your potential employer before  accepting.

Will you like the work culture?

As previously mentioned, you’ll most likely be spending 40 hours a week at this new job.4. Does the company promote a good work / life balance? Do they agree with your environmental / social values? Essentially, will this be a company that you enjoy working for?

How does the new job compare with your current one?

This is relatively simple. If the job you’re being offered doesn’t have as good a role, salary or satisfaction level as your current one, then why are you considering it at all?  5. Have a think about why you want to leave your current job before deciding on the next one.

A. Be realistic & consider whether or not the job’s location is going to work for you in the long run.

B. There’s a big difference between just doing your job and doing your job well.

C. Although change is good, sometimes it’s not always smart.

D. So it’s important that the company’s culture meets your values.

E. Is the salary reasonable?

F. It is very important that you understand exactly the duties in your new job.

G. Whether or not you have the opportunity to grow within a business is an important thing.

【解析】试题分析：如何评价你被给予的工作？你需要考虑的那些事情呢？本文给出了几项有效建议：考虑薪水是否合适；地位置是否适合你；职业发展前景如何；你喜欢那里的工作文化吗；新工作与你现在的工作比起来怎样等等。

1.考查段落大意。空格处是段落标题。通读本段可知，本段主要讲述要考虑协议上的薪水的数目与你被给予的一致吗；你满意这个数目吗？这个数目相对于你的技能和经验是公平的吗？确保你得到一个合理的薪水。因此推断本段主要讲述要考虑薪水合理吗？故选E。

2.考查上下文理解和推理判断。根据段落标题Will the location work for you?和空格上文If you’re already spending 40 hours a week at work, adding three hours a day commuting (来回上下班) is far from ideal.可知，本段建议考虑工作地点，如果总是一星期工作40个小时，还要每天增添3个小时的上下班时间是非常不理想的。因此推断A项“要现实一点，考虑一下这个职位的位置从长远来看是否适合你。”符合语境。故选A。

3.考查上下文理解和推理判断。根据段落标题和空格上文It’s all very good if the job you’ve been offered is exactly what you want at the moment, but what about the future?可知，本段建议要考虑职业发展前景，建议在接受这项工作之前向雇主询问，因此推断G项“无论你是否有机会在企业中成长，这都是一件很重要的事情。”符合语境。故选G。

4.考查上下文理解和推理判断。根据段落标题Will you like the work culture?和空格上文As previously mentioned, you’ll most likely be spending 40 hours a week at this new job.可知，如同上文提到的，你很可能每周花40个小时在这份新工作上。因此推断D项“因此公司的文化符合你的价值观是重要的”符合语境。故选D。

5.考查上下文理解和推理判断。根据空格上文If the job you’re being offered doesn’t have as good a role, salary or satisfaction level as your current one, then why are you considering it at all?可知，如果你所提供的工作没有你现在的工作、薪水或满意度那么高，那么你为什么还要考虑换工作的问题呢?因此推断C项“尽管改变是好的，但有时候并不总是明智的”符合语境。故选C。

【名师点睛】

七选五旨在考查学生对全文整体理解和对信息辨析的能力，做此题时需要先了解文章的整体结构，再综合上下文进行判断。其中，重点是：在浏览选项、理解全篇逻辑关系后找出关键词。 例如第3小题，根据上下文进行判断，结合选项，可得知答案。

具体的如下：第3小题，根据段落标题Is there any career development?以及空格前的“It’s all very good if the job you’ve been offered is exactly what you want at the moment, but what about the future?” 可知，此处所填内容应是与职业发展有关的，结合选项D“无论你是否有机会在企业中成长，这都是一件很重要的事情”可推断，D项符合语境。
