VI. Внимательно прочитайте текст. К каждому абзацу (26-33) подберите наиболее подходящий заголовок (a-I). Один заголовок лишний.

26. At the start, everything will be new and you will probably be nervous about answering the telephone and dealing with customers. You will become more assured as you develop knowledge and experience - set about gaining that knowledge about your company as soon as possible.

27. Good timekeeping and regular attendance are vital qualities for every office worker. If there is no one available to answer the telephone or type up invoices, the system will soon grind to a halt. If you are genuinely ill, phone your employer as early as possible so they can arrange for someone to cover for you. If you think you are going to be off sick for more than one day, let them know.

28. Assess a situation and try to assist in any way you can. First impressions of a company are often gained from someone answering the telephone or sitting at a reception desk. If that person is you, then your company's reputation can hinge on how you deal with customers.

29. Even if you know a customer is wrong, never be rude in return. If necessary, refer them to a senior staff member or to your employer to deal with.

30. You should be able to work on your own and find solutions for simple problems which happen throughout the day. If you have finished your current task, don't sit and gaze around an untidy office. The time you have spare could be used in clearing up or sorting through old files. Management decisions should still be passed through your employer. If a salesman has arrived with brochures for new office equipment, it is not up to you to order yourself a new office chair - this is a decision you leave to your employer.

31. It is important not to gossip about your employer or the people you work with. If someone shares a confidence with you, don't spread it around the rest of the office. People will soon learn whether they can trust you or not.

32. If you deal with petty cash, make sure the cash tin is not left around for anyone to help themselves. Regularly double-check that the amount in the tin ties in with the amount in your petty cash book. Don't 'borrow' from the petty cash. This is a bad habit and one you should not get into.

33. Be aware of potential dangers and follow safe practices strictly. Avoid having trailing leads from typewriters or kettles, which people could trip over. Check fire extinguishers regularly. Ensure fire exits are not blocked by boxes or filing cabinets.
