Excerpt from the Sterling Corp. Employee Handbook: Section 4: Use of Company Resources and Conduct
Welcome to Sterling Corp! We are delighted to have you on our team. This handbook serves as a guide to our company policies and expectations. Please familiarize yourself with its contents.
4.1 Company Property: All equipment, software, and materials provided by Sterling Corp are company property. They are intended for business use only. Unauthorized personal use, modification, or removal is strictly prohibited. Employees found in violation may face disciplinary action, up to and including termination. This includes company-provided laptops, mobile devices, and access to networks.
4.2 Internet and Email Usage: Company networks and communication systems are to be used for professional purposes. Limited, incidental personal use may be permissible during non-work hours, provided it does not interfere with job duties or violate other company policies. Excessive personal use, or any use for illegal, inappropriate, or offensive content, is strictly forbidden.
4.3 Professional Conduct: Sterling Corp expects all employees to maintain a professional and respectful demeanor at all times. Harassment, discrimination, or any form of disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated. We strive to foster a collaborative and inclusive work environment. Employees are also expected to adhere to all applicable laws and regulations, including those pertaining to non-disclosure agreements and the ethical use of proprietary information.
4.4 External Agreements: Employees must not enter into any external agreements or commitments on behalf of Sterling Corp without explicit written authorization from their direct supervisor and the Legal Department. This includes, but is not limited to, vendor contracts, service agreements, and any commitments that could create a financial or legal obligation for the company. For instance, while the company offers resources to help employees secure suitable housing, any individual apartment lease agreement entered into by an employee is a personal contract, and company authorization is not required unless the lease involves company property or assets in some capacity.

📖 지문 해석 — Sterling Corp. 직원 핸드북 발췌: 섹션 4: 회사 자원 및 행동 강령 사용. 4.1 회사 재산: Sterling Corp.에서 제공하는 모든 장비, 소프트웨어 및 자료는 회사 재산입니다. 이들은 비즈니스 용도로만 사용됩니다. 승인되지 않은 개인적 사용, 수정 또는 반출은 엄격히 금지됩니다. 위반 시 징계 조치를 받을 수 있으며, 이는 해고에 이를 수 있습니다.
📝 정답 이유 — 질문은 회사 재산 오용의 결과를 묻고 있습니다. 지문 4.1항에는 "Employees found in violation may face disciplinary action, up to and including term[ination]"라고 명시되어 있습니다. 이는 위반한 직원이 징계 조치를 받을 수 있으며, 그 수위가 해고까지 이를 수 있다는 의미로, 선택지 'Potential disciplinary action, possibly including termination'와 정확히 일치합니다.
💡 실전팁 — Part 7에서는 'consequence', 'result', 'effect'와 같은 질문 키워드를 발견하면, 지문에서 'lead to', 'result in', 'cause', 'consequence', 'disciplinary action', 'termination' 등 결과나 처벌과 관련된 어휘를 빠르게 찾아보세요.
📊 오답분석 — X) A formal warning and a review of internet usage. — 지문에 "formal warning"이나 "review of internet usage"에 대한 언급이 전혀 없습니다. X) Mandatory attendance at a company property seminar. — 지문에서 세미나 참석 의무에 대한 언급은 없으며, 이는 단순히 징계의 한 형태일 수 있습니다. X) A temporary suspension of network access privileges. — 네트워크 접근 권한 일시 정지는 가능한 징계 중 하나일 수 있지만, 지문은 더 광범위한 'disciplinary action'과 'termination'을 명시하고 있어 가장 포괄적이고 정확한 답이 아닙니다.

📝 정답 이유 — 質問は会社所有物の誤用の結果について尋ねています。本文のセクション4.1には、「違反した従業員は、解雇を含む懲戒処分の対象となる可能性がある」と明確に記載されています。これは、選択肢「Potential disciplinary action, possibly including termination.」(解雇の可能性を含む懲戒処分の可能性)と正確に一致する内容です。

📊 오답분석 — X) A formal warning and a review of internet usage. — 「正式な警告」や「インターネット使用状況のレビュー」については本文中に全く言及されていません。 X) Mandatory attendance at a company property seminar. — 本文ではセミナーへの出席義務については触れられておらず、これは単なる懲戒の一形態である可能性があります。 X) A temporary suspension of network access privileges. — ネットワークアクセス権の一時停止は、考えられる懲戒処分の1つかもしれませんが、本文ではより広範な「懲戒処分」と「解雇」を明記しているため、最も包括的で正確な答えではありません。

Phần 4.1 của tài liệu ghi rõ: "Nhân viên vi phạm có thể đối mặt với hành động kỷ luật, có thể bao gồm cả việc chấm dứt hợp đồng lao động" (Employees found in violation may face disciplinary action, up to and including term[ination]).

📊 Phân tích lựa chọn sai — X) A formal warning and a review of internet usage. — Đoạn văn không hề đề cập đến "hình thức cảnh cáo chính thức" hay "xem xét việc sử dụng internet".

📖 Tradução da Passagem — Trecho do Manual do Funcionário da Sterling Corp.: Seção 4: Uso de Recursos da Empresa e Conduta. 4.1 Propriedade da Empresa: Todo equipamento, software e material fornecido pela Sterling Corp. são propriedade da empresa. Eles destinam-se apenas para uso comercial. O uso pessoal não autorizado, modificação ou remoção é estritamente proibido. Funcionários que violarem podem enfrentar ação disciplinar, até mesmo incluindo demissão.
📝 Razão da Resposta — A pergunta busca as consequências do uso indevido da propriedade da empresa. A seção 4.1 do texto afirma claramente: "Funcionários que violarem podem enfrentar ação disciplinar, até mesmo incluindo demissão" (Employees found in violation may face disciplinary action, up to and including term[ination]). Isso corresponde exatamente à opção "Potential disciplinary action, possibly including termination." (Ação disciplinar potencial, possivelmente incluindo demissão).
💡 Dica de Prova — Na Parte 7, ao encontrar palavras-chave como 'consequence', 'result', 'effect' na pergunta, procure rapidamente por vocabulário relacionado a resultados ou punições no texto, como 'lead to', 'result in', 'cause', 'consequence', 'disciplinary action', 'termination'.
📊 Análise de Opção Incorreta — X) A formal warning and a review of internet usage. — O texto não menciona "advertência formal" ou "revisão do uso da internet". X) Mandatory attendance at a company property seminar. — O texto não estabelece a obrigatoriedade de participar de um seminário sobre propriedade da empresa; isso pode ser apenas uma forma de disciplina. X) A temporary suspension of network access privileges. — A suspensão temporária dos privilégios de acesso à rede pode ser uma ação disciplinar possível, mas o texto declara 'ação disciplinar' e 'demissão' de forma mais abrangente, portanto, esta não é a resposta mais completa e precisa.

📖 文章翻譯 — 歡迎加入 Sterling Corp!我們很高興您成為我們團隊的一員。本員工手冊旨在作為公司政策與期望的指南。請務必熟悉其內容。 4.1 公司財產:所有 Sterling Corp 提供的設備、軟體和材料均為公司財產,僅供商業用途。嚴禁未經授權的個人使用、修改或攜出。違反規定的員工將面臨紀律處分,最嚴重可能包括終止僱傭關係。
📝 答案解析 — 正確答案是「潛在的紀律處分,可能包括終止僱傭關係」。文章明確指出,「違反規定的員工將面臨紀律處分,最嚴重可能包括終止僱傭關係」(Employees found in violation may face disciplinary action, up to and including termination)。這直接對應了選項 C 的內容。
💡 應試技巧 — 尋找原文中的「程度限定詞」或「嚴重性詞語」。在此題中,「up to and including」表明了處分的最高級別,是解讀「後果」的關鍵。
📊 錯誤選項分析 — A) 正式警告和網路使用審查 — 雖然可能是紀律處分的一部分,但原文的「up to and including termination」顯示了更嚴重的後果。 B) 必須參加公司財產研討會 — 手冊中並未提及此類強制性研討會。 D) 暫時中止網路存取權限 — 這也是一種可能的紀律處分,但原文的「termination」(終止)是最嚴重的結果,選項 C 涵蓋了最嚴重的潛在後果。

📖 Passage Translation — Excerpt from the Sterling Corp. Employee Handbook: Section 4: Use of Company Resources and Conduct. 4.1 Company Property: All equipment, software, and materials provided by Sterling Corp. are company property. They are intended for business use only. Unauthorized personal use, modification, or removal is strictly prohibited. Employees found in violation may face disciplinary action, up to and including term[ination].
📝 Why This Answer — The question asks for the consequence of misusing company property. Section 4.1 of the passage states explicitly, "Employees found in violation may face disciplinary action, up to and including term[ination]." This directly matches the meaning of the correct option, "Potential disciplinary action, possibly including termination."
💡 Test-day Tip — For Part 7, when you encounter question keywords like 'consequence', 'result', or 'effect', quickly scan the passage for vocabulary related to outcomes or penalties, such as 'lead to', 'result in', 'cause', 'consequence', 'disciplinary action', or 'termination'.
📊 Wrong-Option Analysis — X) A formal warning and a review of internet usage. — The passage makes no mention of a "formal warning" or a "review of internet usage." X) Mandatory attendance at a company property seminar. — The passage does not specify mandatory seminar attendance; this might be one possible form of disciplinary action, but not the explicit consequence stated. X) A temporary suspension of network access privileges. — While possible, the passage clearly indicates broader consequences: "disciplinary action, up to and including termination," making this option too narrow and specific compared to the stated possibilities.
