Whilst changing employers from time (33) time is something we probably all need to do to advance our careers in the directions we want them to take, it is nevertheless an activity that carries quite definite risks. Irrespective of (34) well we research prospective employers, a new job is still largely a step into the unknown . It may turn (35) to be a good move or it could prove to be a complete disaster : most of us (36) had experience of both. The point here, though, is that changing employers is not something we want to be doing all the time and certainly not (37) time we feel the urge for better pay . Wed (38) taking more risks than we needed to just to achieve a pay rise. Getting a pay rise should always be viewed (39) a serious business. There are no quick fixes or gold methods with “ guaranteed “ results. Quick fixes only serve to trivialize the issues and could (40) some circumstances get you into very serous trouble indeed.答案及解析關(guān)于加薪的文章，教你怎么樣實(shí)現(xiàn)加薪。這道題目不難，但是拋開題目，單說文章里談的加薪的方法，各位還是要辯證的看。要想人生第一份工作就找到自己滿意的，是挺難，可是以加薪為目的跳槽，也未必是什么明智的好辦法。31題，太明顯的定語(yǔ)從句，前面是someone，那么當(dāng)然填入表示人的關(guān)系代詞who。32題，in line with，和什么一致，固定搭配，在中級(jí)的選詞版完型里?？嫉竭@個(gè)詞組。這句的意思是，找個(gè)一個(gè)愿意給你提供和你才能更加一致的薪水的人。33題，from time to time，時(shí)不時(shí)的。changing employers from time to time，時(shí)不時(shí)的換老板。34題，Irrespective of，同regardless of一樣，后面接讓步狀語(yǔ)從句，不管我們對(duì)可能的雇主研究的多么好，新的工作都是一個(gè)未知數(shù)。用how well。35題，turn out to be，固定用法。36題，換工作，要么是個(gè)好的舉措，要么將成為災(zāi)難。而我們大多數(shù)人這兩種經(jīng)歷都有。有這種經(jīng)歷，是過去完成時(shí)，用have+done
