    For young workers, holiday parties can be a wonderful opportunity to celebrate a successful year gone by, catch up with colleagues and hobnob with senior executives to try to get ahead. But a host of challenges confront young employees—from figuring out whom to bring to walking the fine line between being friendly and being flirty. Some do’ s and don ’ts when it comes to these events:
    【R1】______
    If you’ re new to the company, talk to co-workers who have attended previous office functions to get a sense of what you should wear. Dress conservatively, not "like you’re going to a club in Vegas, "says Tom Gimbel, CEO of staffing firm LaSalle Network in Chicago. But, he adds, don’t take it "to the point where(you’re)wearing a suit where everybody else is wearing jeans."
    【R2】______
    Steer clear of talking about those layoffs or pay freezes that have hit morale, experts advise. "Try to keep the conversation upbeat," says Barbara Pachter, president of Pachter & Associates, a business-etiquette and communications firm in Cherry Hill, N.J. "If you’re merging, that could be an exciting thing,(or if)you’re adding new product lines, that could be an exciting thing" to talk about.
    【R3】______
    While it’ s fun to indulge in rumors about colleagues, you don’ t want to be known as the person who’ s always spreading juicy gossip. "You want to be known for your work ethic, you want to be known for the work product that you put out, and at a holiday party, you don’t want to be the one telling everybody who’ s making out with whom and who’ s fighting with whom," says Mr. Gimbel. Instead, he encourages people to stick to safe topics like sports, entertainment and what’ s going on in the world.
    【R4】______
    Even if you’re intimidated by the clique of VPs huddling in their own circle, don’t pass up the opportunity to meet these people, who could be interviewing you when you’ re up for your next promotion. Look for an opening to chime in on a topic that you know about.
    If they don’t already know you, introduce yourself and say how long you’ve been with the company and what you do. Afterward, if you feel like you connected with someone senior, send them a follow-up email saying it was nice to meet them, says Ms. Pachter. "What have you got to lose?"
    【R5】______
    Holiday parties are one of the few workplace events where imbibing is allowed and even encouraged to get people relaxed. However, just because alcohol is free-flowing at the bar doesn’t mean you should take that as a license to reprise your college frat parties.
    "Most people head toward the bar and the buffet when they get to a holiday party, and if they drink on an empty stomach they tend to get inebriated and then they could say the wrong thing or do the wrong thing," says Ms. Whitmore. "No. 1 rule is: Don’t drink too much, monitor your alcohol intake. Usually, one or two drinks is plenty."
【R2】
选项
答案E
解析 全段由两句话构成，均是Barbara Pachter给出的建议。本段首句的steer clear of意为“避免，绕开”，全句意为“专家建议要避免谈论类似解雇、工资冻结这种煞风景的话题”。故本段的中心思想为在公司节日聚会上，我们应该谈论些轻松愉快的话题，避免一些敏感和负面的话题。故E项“聊天内容要轻松”符合题意，为正确答案。
