I prefer Lynne Truss's phraseology: I am a grammar “stickler”．And，like Truss—author of Eats，Shoots & Leaves—I have a “zero tolerance” approach to grammar mistakes that make people look stupid.
Now，Truss and I disagree on what it means to have“zero tolerance”．She thinks that people who mix up basic grammar “deserve to be struck by lightning，hacked up on the spot and buried in an unmarked grave”，while I just think they deserve to be passed over for a job—even if they are otherwise qualified for the position.
Everyone who applies for a position at either of my companies，iFixit or Dozuki，takes a compulsory grammar test.If job hopefuls can't distinguish between“to” and “too”， their applications go into the bin.
Of course，we write for a living.iF is the world's largest online repair manual(指南)，and Dozuki helps companies write their own technical documentation，like paperless work instructions and step­by­step user manuals.So，it makes sense that we've made a strong strike against grammar errors.
But grammar is relevant for all companies.Yes，language is constantly changing，but that doesn't make grammar unimportant.Good grammar is credibility，especially on the Internet.And，for better or worse，people judge you if you can't tell the difference between “their”“there” and “they're”．
Good grammar makes good business sense—and not just when it comes to hiring writers.Writing isn't in the official job description of most people in our office.Still，we give our grammar test to everybody，including our salespeople，our operations staff，and our programmers.
Grammar signifies more than just a person's ability to remember high school English.I've found that people who make fewer mistakes on a grammar test also make fewer mistakes when they are doing something completely unrelated to writing—like stocking shelves or labeling parts.It is the same with programmers.Applicants who don't think writing is important are likely to think lots of other things also aren't important.

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
LEEDS, England—A Leeds University psychology professor is teaching a course to help dozens of Britons forgive their enemies.
"The hate we hold within us is a cancer, " Professor Ken Hart said, adding that holding in anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease.
More than 70 people have become members in Hart's first 20-week workshop in London—a course he says is the first of its kind in the world.
These are people who are sick and tired of living with a memory. They realize their bitterness is a poison they think they can pour out, but they end up drinking it themselves, said Canadian- born Hart.
The students meet in groups of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with an adviser every fortnight.
The course, ending in July, is expected to get rid of the cancer of hate in these people. "People have lots of negative attitudes towards forgiveness," he said, "People confuse forgiveness with forgetting. Forgiveness means changing from a negative attitude to a positive one."
Hart and his team have created instructions to provide the training needed.
"The main idea is to give you guidelines on how to look at various kinds of angers and how they affect you, and how to change your attitudes towards the person you are angry with," said Norman Claringbull, a senior expert on the forgiveness project.
Hart said he believes forgiveness is a skill that can be taught, as these people "want to get free of the past".

A. high blood pressure and heart disease are caused by hate
B. high blood pressure can only be cured by psychology professors
C. without hate, people will have less trouble connected with blood and heart
D. people who suffer from blood pressure and heart disease must have many enemies
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。文章其次段“......holding in anger can lead to problems such as high blood pressure and heart disease.”说明心怀生气可能导致如高血压和心脏病之类的问题。所以没有仇恨，人们将有更少和血液心脏有关的麻烦。故选C。
37. If you are angry with somebody, you should________.
A. attend Hart’s course
B. never meet him or her any longer
C. persuade him or her to have a positive talk with you
D.treat him or her positively instead of negatively
【答案】D
【解析】细节理解题。通过文章第6段可知，假如你生某人的气，你应当以一种乐观的态度去对待他（她），而不是消极的。
38. In Hart's first 20- week workshop, people there can ________.
A. meet their enemies B. change their attitudes
C.enjoy the professor's teaching D. learn how to quarrel with others
【答案】B
【解析】细节理解题。通观全文，我们可以看出人们在Hart的工作室能够学会原谅，转变他们对仇恨的态度。故选B。
39. If you are a member in Hart's workshop, you'll________.
A. meet in eight or ten groups B. get rid of the illness of cancer
C.attend a gathering twice a month D. pour out everything stored in your mind
【答案】C
【解析】细节理解题。第五段“The students meet in groups of eight to ten for a two-hour workshop with an adviser every fortnight.”说明成员们每两周聚集一次，也就是一个月两次。

A. persuade Britons to go to Hart's workshop
B. tell us the news about Hart's workshop
C. tell us how to run a workshop like Hart's

In my memory, thousands of times, I 15 the night my young voice complained. Catching Mom’s hand in hand, I told her how 16 I was for that night. I thought she’d remember 17 I did. But Mom didn’t know what I was talking about. She had already forgotten and 18 long ago.
That night, I fell asleep with a new 19 for my gentle mother and her caring hands. And the guilt that I had carried around for so long was 20 to be found.
