Section A
Directions:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.
Let's face it: while we go to the office to work, no one is expected to keep their head down the entire time they're there. Yet companies expect __51__ out of their employees: that's why they're paying you to be there. No talking or socializing at all is one __52__, while the other is being able to talk to whomever you want, whenever you want, about whatever you want, even if you never quite manage to make it to your desk until 11:00 a.m. Both examples are __53__ unrealistic. So first we have the entire gray area in between those two, and that's just during office time.
The phrase "people-oriented" is generally used to __54__ something that vaguely represents a company where everyone is pleasant and happy. It's fun to work there, everyone likes his or her job and each employee is __55__ well and fairly. Know any companies like that? People-oriented is a traditional and unclear phrase that needs __56__ to make sure your definition is the same as the company's and that you can spot a __57__ if there is one.
So what do you mean by people-oriented? Do you want a company that promotes from within and doesn't __58__ gathering at the water cooler? A company where management makes a practice of being __59__? A place where customers are of great __60__ both in philosophy and actuality, or one that is involved in its community and requires each __61__ to join or participate in a specific event once or twice each year? When you look closer at what this phrase means to you, you'll discover that some aspects are more important to you than others. Knowing what you mean by this phrase gives you the power to discover if the company's __62__ is the same as yours.
Why bother leaving a message that may not be __63__ for days when you can reach someone instantly with a text or instant message? That seems to be increasingly dominant viewpoint, anyway. When texting and instant messaging for __64__ needs, keep in mind some tips from workplace and career experts.
Marla Harr, a business etiquette consultant and trainer, says that when relying on texting and messaging for work, you should __65__ that the person you want to send a text message wants to receive and communicate in that way.
