Don't be an idiot quite frankly. Don't answer back, take your time, listen, watch and be vigilant i.e. health & safety. It will be better to take your time, than completely fuck up something because you've been rushing.

Tea is always good if you see that people are allowed to drink it in the work shop everyone hates making big rounds of tea

I'm sure you'll make a big impact If you fail don't let it dent your pride.

good luck mate 
like others have said, ALWAYS look busy 
i always make sure i pick all bolts and shit up off the floor when i've got no engines to build and give my area a quick tidy up as it shows that you are pro-active and are willing to do more than your job requires of you.
also, make sure you ask questions on anything you don't understand, over and over again until you understand it. nothing like do a job which you don't really have a clue about. it won't make you look stupid by asking, it will make them see that you care about the job you are doing 
all the best mate

Good luck mate.
As others have said, always make yourself busy, ask a lot of questions and seem genuinely interested and keen.
