How Not to Succeed in Your Job

Many magazines have articles on how to be a success, but here at Business Monthly, the
Magazine for Busy Businesspeople, we thought it would be helpful if our readers knew how to
fail.
Step One: Don't come to work on time. If you want to fail at work, then don't be on time.
Punctuality, or being where you should when you should, is a common trait of successful
people. If you don't want to succeed, be late for all of your appointments.
Step Two: Don't ask questions. Successful people often try to learn what they don't already
know. They ask questions if they are unsure of a situation or a procedure. If you want to fail,
make sure you keep your questions to yourself.
Step Three: Never learn new things. In order to get ahead in your career, it is necessary to keep
yourself updated on current information in your field. Information changes quickly; if you want
to be left behind, then don't keep up with the changes.
Step Four: Don't mind your own business. MYOB, or Mind Your Own Business, means not
getting involved in office gossip. If you talk about others behind their backs, then you can
expect that others are talking about you as well. So if you want to fail, stick your nose where it
does not belong.

Question 42. According to the article, what does punctuality mean?

A. Having good punctuation when writing
B. Being where you should
C. Being successful
D. Being where you should, when you should
Question 43. According to this article, what is true about successful people?
A. They are late, don't ask questions, and never learn new things.
B. They are late, don't ask questions, and try to learn new things.
C. They are late, ask questions, and try to learn new things.
D. They aren't late, ask questions, and try to learn new things.
Question 44. What does MYOB mean?
A. That you should study about business in school
B. That you should not get involved in office gossip
C. That you should prepare to own your own business
D. That you should talk a lot about other people

fifteen past eleven they have a quarter of an hour’s break in which they drink milk. Some pupils

Questions 51 – 55 refer to the following passage.

Chess must be one of the oldest games in the world. An Arab traveler in India in the year
900 wrote that it was played “long long ago”. Chess was probably invented in India and
it has been played everywhere from Japan to Europe since 1400. The name “chess” is
interesting. When one player is attacking the other’s king he says in English “check”.
When the king has been caught and cannot move anywhere he says “check mate”. These
words come from Persian. “shah mat” means “ the king is dead”. That is the game is over
and one player has won.
Such an old game changes very slowly. The rules have not always been the same as
they are now. For example, at one time the queen could only move one square at a time.
Now she is the strongest piece on the board. It would be interesting to know why this

Page 9 of 11
 has happened! Chess takes time and thought but it is a game for all kinds of people. You
don’t have to be champion in order to enjoy it. it is not always played by two people
sitting at the same table. The first time of the Americans beat the Russians was in a
match played by radio. Some of the chess masters are able to play many people at the
same time. The record was when one man played 400 games! It is said that some people
play chess by post. This must make chess the slowest game in the world.

Question 51. Which of the following is known to be true?

A. Chess was played in India long before 900.
B. Chess is an old Indian traveling 900
C. Chess is the oldest game in the world.
D. Chess was played in Japan and Europe before 400
Question 52. One player has won the game when
A. he says “ check” to the other player.
B. the other player’s king cannot move anywhere.
C. he attack the other player’s king.
D. he says some Persian words.
Question 53. Which of the following will you hear when one player has won the game?
A. “Check mate” B. “Shah mat” C. “The King is dead” D. “check”
Question 54. Which following is NOT correct of the passage?
A. All kinds of people can play chess
B. Some people write each other playing chess.
C. The Russian lost the game played by radio.
D. Only two people can play chess sitting at the same table.
Question 55. According to the old rules of the game
A. the queen could move no more than one square at a time.
B. the king could not move anywhere.
C. the queen was the strongest piece on the board.
D. the king had to be attacked all the time.

Questions 56 – 60 refer to the following passage.

If you want to advance in your career you will have to make some careful decisions
about which jobs you take. Evaluate a job offer for the value it has to your career. It may mean
sacrifices at first. You may have to move to a different region or a different country to get a job
that is right for you. You may have to work late hours at least temporarily. You might even
have to take a lower salary for a job that offers you the experience that you need. But you should
never accept a job if it is not related to your career goals. Accepting a job that it not within your
career path will not give you the training or experience you need or want. You will find yourself
frustrated in such a position and consequently will not perform your best. This will have an
effect on the people around you who will not feel as if you are being part of the team. The best
advice is to think carefully before accepting any position and make sure the job is one you want
to have.
