試題分析：盡管工作不稱心如意，許多人還是努力守住自己的飯碗而不愿意跳槽。但如果出現了文中的四個征兆，就意味著你該辭職了。

1. 考查理解概括能力。前面講到，很多人在努力地守住他們不想端的飯碗；后面又講到，越來越多的工作可供選擇，勞動力市場也逐漸完善，說明是時候為自己找份新工作了。由此判斷D項內容“However, now might be the time to find a new job.”符合，故選D。

2. 考查理解概括能力。本段是說，我們總有那么幾天不想上班，甚至可能不喜歡自己的工作。但是如果你真的一想到上班就頭疼，就說明你最好另尋新枝棲身，或是自己創業。由此判斷F項內容“If this is the case, it might be the time to find a new job, or even start a business.”符合，選F。

3. 考查理解概括能力。本段是說，然而，當你質疑周圍同事的價值觀和理想時，也預示著你是個局外人了。這時你會感覺自己與公司格格不入，可能該換個新環境了。由此判斷空缺處應為“我們都有自己的理想和價值觀”，C項內容“Many of us have our own values and ideals.”符合，選C。

4.考查理解概括能力�？杖碧幥懊嬲f，一些人更喜歡簡單的工作；空缺處后面說，然而，也許你更喜歡富有挑戰性的工作。故空缺處應為“打卡上下班，簡單平淡”，由此判斷B項內容“It’s a matter of working day in and day out.”符合，故選B。

5.考查理解概括能力。空缺處為該部分的小標題。該段是說，如果你感覺自己融不進同事的文化圈子，這就預示著你屬于其他別的地方了。你是個局外人了。由此判斷。A項內容“You feel like an outsider.”符合，故選A。
