单选题
When you quit a job, you typically give two weeks' notice. But at KIND Healthy Snacks they do things differently.
Founder and CEO Daniel Lubetzky asks employees, whom he calls "team members," for at least two months, and in some cases two years' notice.
In return, Lubetzky focuses on their professional growth until the day they leave.
It may sound extreme, unrealistic even, to ask for two months' notice—or two years' notice from those who work with him directly—but his reasoning makes perfect sense.
"We call the KIND team a 'family', so major life transitions(转变)like changing jobs aren't meant to be kept in secret until the last minute," Lubetzky tells Business Insider. "No one should be scared to talk about what's next for them." "I would rather a team member come to me months
in advance, letting me know what will be happening in their life," he says, "whether it is a baby on the way, a relocation for personal reasons, or a plan to go back to school."
Lubetzky doesn't expect his employees to accept a job elsewhere and ask the new employer to delay their start date by two months or two years. He simply wants anyone who is exploring new opportunities to be open about it.
单选题
How long in advance does Lubetzky ask his employees to give their job-quitting notice?
【正确答案】
C
【答案解析】解析:事实细节题。根据题干中的Lubetzky ask his employees定位到第二段,该段提到,鲁贝茨基要求他的员工至少提前两个月(at least two months)给出通知(notice)。这里的notice没有明确指出是离职通知,但第一段提到quit a job“辞职”,这里承接上文,应该也是指离职通知。故答案为C项at least two months。
单选题
For his employees, Lubetzky cares most about_____.
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】解析:事实细节题。题干中的care most“最关心”与第三段中的focuses on“专注于,集中于”意思相近,由原文可知,鲁贝茨基关注员工的职业发展(professional growth),因此D项their professional growth正确。
单选题
One of the reasons given by Lubetzky for his job-quitting notice is that_____.
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】解析:推理判断题。本题询问原因,第四段提到鲁贝茨基要求员工提前两个月给出离职通知的理由非常有道理。接着第五段首句具体解释,他们把团队称为一个“家庭”,因此像换工作这种重大的生活转变不应该保密到最后一刻。由此可推断鲁贝茨基要求员工提前那么久通知,是因为A项he treats his team as a“family”,其中treat…as是原文call的同义替换。
单选题
What does the underlined phrase "a baby on the way" mean?
【正确答案】
A
【答案解析】解析:词义判断题。短语a baby on the way出现在倒数第二段末句,这是鲁贝茨基说到员工生活中将要发生的情况时提及的例子。on the way本义指“在路上”,a baby on the way直译是“一个婴儿在路上”,即“一个婴儿马上要到来了,要出生了”。所以A项A baby is going to be born是同义表达。
单选题
What is the actual purpose of Lubetzky's requirement of job quitting?
【正确答案】
B
【答案解析】解析:推理判断题。本题要求判断用意。末段提到了鲁贝茨基对员工的期望,末句中的He simply wants…表明是他的真实用意(actual purpose),即希望探索新机会的人对此坦诚(be open about it),其中it指的是exploringnew opportunities,也就是leaving。B项be open about their leaving是该句的同义表达,为正确答案。
