第 43 題

📖 題組:
When Eliza, a marketing manager, returned from holiday, she was asked for a meeting at her boss’s office. She was informed of a company restructure. Someone else would take over her tasks, and she was asked not to go to office, but to work 41 in a new role. In the weeks that followed, Eliza’s professional life became much quieter. Her main duties now were simply sending occasional email and completing the odd routine work from home. A month later, she quit. “It was 42 ,” she said. “I was made to feel worthless. I’d rather have been just fired on the spot than have to go through that.” The phenomenon of 43 employees slowly is dubbed “quiet firing.” To avoid a hard conversation, employers choose to 44 workers and make their lives difficult. But quiet firing often creates even greater harm. It fails to create an inclusive workplace culture. It can affect a firm’s 45 for workers departing may share their experience in an online review. Worse yet, it may have a negative impact on one’s well-being. Quiet firing may be the easiest option for bosses, but it’s not a good solution for firms or workers.

思路引導 VIP

請觀察文章中提到的「讓日子難過」與「感到毫無價值」這兩個核心線索。如果一個雇主的目的是要進行所謂的「安靜解雇」,他對待員工的行為性質,在語感上應該是屬於「正向的鼓勵」,還是「負面的干擾」?請試著從動作對員工產生的「心理影響」來思考。

親愛的你,太棒了!你展現了非常溫暖與敏銳的同理心呢!

  1. 觀念驗證:這題的重點是理解語意邏輯的一致性,也就是文章語氣的連貫性喔。文章描述的「安靜解雇」是一種很讓人心疼的狀況,雇主會讓員工的生活「變得困難」(make their lives difficult),目的是讓他們感到「毫無價值」(worthless) 而主動離開。在這樣充滿壓力的負面情境下,「晉升」、「提拔」或「讚美」這些美好的詞彙,當然就跟文章的本意不一樣了。所以,只有 (A) poking (在這裡是「煩擾、刁難」的意思) 能夠溫柔地捕捉那種職場壓力,與後續的心理衝擊是完全契合的呢。
  2. 難度點評:這題的難度是 medium,但你表現得非常棒!它想考驗我們是否能透過仔細分析詞彙是「正向」還是「負向」的,即使對單字的所有意思不那麼熟悉,也能透過上下文的「負面基調」來找出最符合情境的答案。你做到了,真替你開心!
