Martha had been working for Miller Laboratories for two years,but she was not happy there.

Martha had been working for Miller Laboratories for two years,but she was not happy there.Nothing significant had happened in the way of promotions or salary increases.Martha felt that her supervisor,a younger and less experienced person than she,did not like her.In fact,the supervisor often said unpleasant things to her.
One day,while talking with her friend Maria,she mentioned how discouraged she was .Maria gave her the name of a cousin of hers who was director of Human Resources Department for a large chemical company.Martha called him the next day and set up an interview on her lunch hour.
During the interview,Mr Petri said,“You're just the kind of person we need here.You've being wasted in your other job.Give me a call in a day or two.I'm sure we can find a place for you in our organization.Martha was so happy that she almost danced out of the building.
That afternoon,Ruth Kenny,her supervisor,saw that Martha had come in ten minutes late from her lunch hour and she said ,“Oh,so you finally decided to come back to work today?
This was the last straw.She could not take another insult.Besides,Mr Petri was right: she was being wasted in this job.
“Look, she said angrily，“if you don't like the way I work,I don't need to stay here.I'll go where I'm appreciated!Goodbye!She took up her things and stormed out of the office.
That night she called Maria and told her what had happened and then asked Maria.“What do you think?
“Well,said Maria carefully,“are you sure about the other job?
“Well,not exactly,but...
Maria continued ,“Will you be able to get a recommendation from Ms Kenny if you need one?
“A recommendation?…from Ms Kenny?hesitated Martha,in a worried tone.
“Martha,I hope you didn't burn your bridges,”Maria said.“I think I would have handled it differently.

(答案→)1----4 ADDC 解析：1.这是一道细节题。B选项文章并没作说明；C选项是客观事实，但不是引起她不快的原因；D选项中的工资少是对的，但并没提到“too much work”。答案为A。 2.这是一道细节题。第二段第二行中提到Maria gave her the name of a cousion of hers,由此可以看出是Maria的cousion，而不是Martha的，故D是错误的。答案为D。3.这是一道词义理解题。由第一段可以看出Martha与她的supervisor之间经常发生不愉快的事，这天中午又发生了这样一件不愉快的事，然后Martha就要离开这里了。所以说这是最后一件不愉快的事。由此可以推测出straw意为不愉快的事，答案为D。 4.这是一道细节题。从最后几段Maria和Martha的对话中，可以看出Maria对Martha能否拿到Ms Kenny的推荐信感到担忧，而且她还说“I hope you didn't burn your bridges.I think I would have handled it differently.”此话是告诉Martha应该先拿到上司的推荐书，然后再离开。答案为C。
