這篇短文講述的是作者工作的公司里有一個同事，整體不工作，干私事，可老板對此卻置之不理。作者一開始不明白是為什么，后來公司的主機(jī)出現(xiàn)了問題，是這個同事修理好，為公司節(jié)省了數(shù)億美元。通過這件事作者意識到這個人也是有他自己的價值的。

【1】根據(jù)短文第一段中Most of the time ，he would receive and send his private emails or listen to the music可知，大部分時間里，這個同事都在收發(fā)私人郵件或者是聽音樂。由此可知答案。

【2】根據(jù)文意和短文第二段中I was quite curious (好奇的).How come he could laze away while the competition was so fierce可知，作者覺得他的這個同事非常的懶，什么也不做。由此可知答案為He was lazy.

【3】根據(jù)短文第三段中The colleague tested the machines and began to fix it silently.Twenty minutes later, the host computer reworked.可知，這個同事花費了20分鐘的時間，修好了公司的主機(jī)。由此可知答案為Twenty minutes.

這篇短文中作者通過講述自己的一個同事的故事，告訴我們每個人都有自己的價值，老板不會養(yǎng)閑人。文章是記敘文，敘述清晰，比較容易理解。題型是任務(wù)型閱讀，題目都是回答問題，考查我們對文章細(xì)節(jié)的理解。做題時，應(yīng)先通讀短文，了解大意；然后根據(jù)題目所問，在原文相關(guān)的地方搜索信息作答。例如第3小題，題目問的是這個同事用了多長時間修理公司的主機(jī)，這個細(xì)節(jié)是在文章第三段中講到的，搜索時需要注意表示時間的單詞或短語，根據(jù)Twenty minutes later, the host computer reworked.可知，這個同事花費了20分鐘的時間，修好了公司的主機(jī)，由此可知答案。
