一、阅读理解（共1道小题，共25.0分） We are sorry that we had to ask the young man to leave the job. It was not that he was unpopular with the other people in the office. Everyone liked him. Nor was it that he was incapable. He had plenty of abilities. The problem was that so much of his work was unsatisfactory; it wasn’t good enough. Sometimes he would leave a job unfinished, and never come back to complete it. Other times, his writing would be so illegible that you couldn’t read it. Or he might disappear from the office for an hour or so with no explanation of where he had been. Once or twice he sat unoccupied for a while, doing nothing at all, until someone noticed him and gave him some work. I supposed he felt that we had mistreated him, that we had not been fair to him, but I didn’t think we had misjudged him. We didn’t make up our minds until we had given him every chance to show what he could do. However, I confessed that it made me uncomfortable to have to tell him that he had lost his job. A person sent to us by an employment agency would replace him the next week.
