When you quit a job, you typically give two weeks' notice. But at KIND Healthy Snacks they do things differently.

Founder and CEO Daniel Lubetzky asks employees, whom he calls“team members,” for at least two months, and in some cases two years' notice.

In return, Lubetzky focuses on their professional growth until the day they leave.

It may sound extreme, unrealistic even, to ask for two months' notice-or two years' notice from those who work with him directly-but his reasoning makes perfect sense.

“Well call the KIND team a‘family’, so major life transitions (转变) like changing jobs aren't meant to be kept in secret until the last minute. ”Lubetzky tells Business Insider. No one should be scared to talk about what's next for them.“I would rather a team member come to me months in advance, letting me know what will be happening in their life,” he says,“whether it is a baby on the way, a relocation for personal reasons, or a plan to go back to school. ”

Lubetzky doesn't expect his employees to accept a job elsewhere and ask the new employer to delay their start date by two months or two years. He simply wants anyone who is exploring new opportunities to be open about it.

36. How long in advance does Lubetzky ask his employees to give their job-quitting notice?

A) Two weeks. B) One month.

C) At least two months. D) More than two years.

37. For his employees, Lubetzky cares most about

A) their health conditions B) their further education

C) their retirement pension D) their professional growth

38. One of the reasons given by Lubetzky for his job-quitting notice is that 。

A)he treats his team as a “family”

B) he can save a large amount of money

C) changing jobs is regarded as a life transition

D) the news of changing jobs should be kept in secret

39. What does the underlined phrase “a baby on the way”mean?

A)A baby is going to be born. B)A baby is growing healthily.

C)A baby is going to be adopted. D)A new-born baby is coming home.

40.What is the actual purpose of Lubetzky's requirement of job quitting?

A) The employees should be loyal to the company.

B) The employees should be open about their leaving.

C)The employees may get enough time to search for a new job.

D)The employees may save enough money to support their family.

【参考范文】.

Dear Mr. Johnson，

I am writing in reference to the company's marketing report of the first half year I received. According to the report, in recent months our product sales have decreased 20%, with some areas even down by 50%. It may due to the lack of media presence.

In the view of above, a department-manager meeting will be held next Monday morning. The marketing department is required to propose specific improving measures, so as to raise the product sales.

Regards

Smith
