And my primary responsibilities were to maintain the company’s ties with the e xisting customers and try to find new cargo sources.M: And what did that experience teach you?W: I learned that communication skills are extremely important.

However, I know I still have a lot to learn.The woman went from Guilin City to the east coast city of Qingdao to attend college. She was impressed by the latter’s dynamic economy. N ow shi is being interviewed for a job. She says she once worked as an intern for a small shipping company to maintain the company’s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources. There she learned the importance of communication skills. She has realized that book knowledge is indeed necessary, but it is equally essential to persuade potential clients to trust her. Her former employer said her ability to find customers was an asset to the company. He appreci ated the loyalty and team spirit. The interviewer finds her mature fo r her age and very goal-oriented. And she believes that she has acqui red many good qualities form her parents, but still has a lot to lear n.Task 2: A Work Qualification TestMurphy applies for an engineering position at an Irish firm based in Dublin. An American applied for the same job. Quite by coincidence, t he two amplifications, and were asked to take the same test by the ma nager of the Human Resource Department. Upon completion of the test, both men missed only one of the questions. The manager went to Murphy and said, “Thank you for your interest, but we’ve decided to give the American the job.”Bewildered by the manager’s decision, Murphy asked, “Why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish, I should get the job!”The manger answered calmly, “We have made our decisions based on the correct answers, but on the question you missed.”Unconvinced and somewhat indignant, Murphy question, “And just how w ould one incorrect answer be better than the other?”The manager’s maser took him by surprise, “Simple, on QuestionNo.5, the American put down ‘I don’t’ know’, and you put down ‘Neither do I’.”Keys: FTTTFTFor Reference1. He made his decision based on the wrong answers to the one question one missed, rather than on the correct answers. 2. By writing “Neither do I”, it seems that Murphy copied the American answer on the test.Task3: A Guide to a Successful Job InterviewThere are times that you will be asked a hard question during a job i nterview. Don’t panic, they just want to see how you handle a diffic ult situation. Being prepared is always the best policy. Here are som e samples of questions and some advice on how to handle them properl y.Why should we choose you? To this question, you can ask yourself why you applied, what makes you suitable for this question, what the comp any can gain from hiring you, what you have to offer, how you would h andle this jib, etc.Often they ask you to tell them about yourself. You can split your an swer into two, the professional and the personal level. Both are impo rtant, and how you move from one to the other depends on what you hav e to say. You can give a brief summary of your life, professional and personal, with less emphasis on the early past, and more emphasis on the present and the future.When asked “What are your weakness?”, don’t say, “I don’t have a ny.” Everyone has weakness, and it takes something positive like, “I haven’t had a lot of exposure on the on-site work, but I’m looking forward to being more involved in dealing with customers directly and learning their needs.”Another common question is: “What are your strengths?” You should c ustomize your answer to meet the position requirement. Keep in mind t he things they asked for in the advertisement. Tell them your strengt hs, but also show them how they how they would apply to this job. To show how your strengths were valuable, use the “Why, where, when, ho w” to demonstrate and prove your strengths.16. What is the passage mainly concerned with?17. What does the speaker NOT mention as an answer to the question, “Why should we choose you?”?18. What does the speaker say you should stress when introducing yourself?19. What does the speaker advice you NOT to say when asked,“What are your weaknesses?”20. What should you say when asked about your strong points?Kes: 1C 2.C3. B 4.A 5.DFor Reference“Why should we choose you?”, “Tell me about yourself.”, “What ar e your weaknesses?”, and “What are your strength?”IV.

Don’t look too shy, nor should you so und too aggressive.Susan: I’m not sure what kind of questions they’ll ask.John: They’ll probably want to know a little about your work experie nce.

If you look too shy, they ma y suspect you are not capable of dealing with a challenging task. A: I’m not sure what kind of questions they’ll ask.B: They’ll probably want to know something about your work experience. Companies usually don’t want an entirely new hand.

I hope he’ll help us start a recruitment drive.Bill: Certainly. And it’s a good time, too. A number of firms have been downsizing.Helen: Good.

Let’s TalkGood afternoon, everyone. The university’s Career Office asked me to give a talk on the topic of how to prepare for job interviews. This i s probably the most important aspect in securing a job. Here are some tips I believe to be useful.First, do some research are. Once you have this information, make a l ist of what skills or knowledge you have that would be valuable to th em. You cannot sell yourself to them if you don’t know what it is yo u are selling.The next thing to consider is your physical appearance. You have to d ress right for job interviews. Don’t wear anything too flashy; being neat and clean is more important than wearing the latest fashion. The aim is to look professional without overdoing it. Also, it is import ant that you feel comfortable. If you are not comfortable with a tie, it might be best not to wear one, unless the job requires you to dre ss this way. The last thing you want is to be worried about your appe arance during the interview. It will only make you nervous, and you w ill quickly lose confidence.Mover over, you have to work out what you need to take with you: A co py of your CV, originals and copies of your qualification paper, copi es of reference, samples of your work, if applicable, and anything el se that they may want to see. Again, make sure everything is well org anized and neatly presented. Don’t take a pile of paperwork that you have to sift through for ten minutes to find something. That will giv e them the impression that you are disorganized. If you are well prepSAMPLEA: After listening to the career officer’s talk, I’ve now realizes the importance of getting prepared for an interview.B: Quite true. First of all, we should never be late for an interview.If you’re not punctual, they’ll suspect that you’ll be late fo r work in future.A: Before going to the interview, we had better pay attention to our dress. We must look professional without overdoing it. Careless cl othes will lead them into thinking that you’re likely to do your job carelessly.B: During the interview, it is important to look confident without be ing too pushy. It’s necessary to maintain eye contact. This showsyour interest in the conversation, and helps to maintain the commu nication between you and the interviewer.A: Many employers attach importance to the education you’ve received.We need to highlight those courses especially valuable to the com pany.B: Book knowledge is not enough. We must show them we have practical experience in the field. Tell them about our internship, and empha size the skills that are useful in the job we’re seeking.A: How clever you are! These days many students want to tell the pros pective employer that they have a good command of English and have obtained a College English Test Band 4 Certificate.B: They’re also eager to tell interviewer about their computer skill s with PowerPoint, office automation, and so on. Students from non -key universities especially need certificates to shoe they’ve ac quired those skills before they can hope to compete against studen ts from prestigious universities.A: Character is considered an important factor in contemporary societ y, where teamwork is a must.B: But too many students are saying more or less the same thing. If e verybody says, “I’m warm-hearted and cooperative, get along well with my classmates, and have good team spirit,” the boss will soo n get fed up.A: Perhaps we should let the work we’ve done shoe our character. B: Right on. Participation is important. If you can show them you’re an important official of the Student Union of the university or the department, or you’ve organized a singing competition and won an award, obviously you’re a good team player.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: The Role Memory Plays in Our Life16. Why does the speaker say the resume is important?17. According to the passage, why should you emphasize the most important point about yourself?19. How many resumes would the speaker advise you to write ifyou applied for three jobs?5. Which of the following makes a good title for the passage?Keys: 1.C 2.A 3.A 4.C 5.BTask 2: Two Essential Factors in an InterviewWhen applying for a job, especially a job you really want. It’s not usually to feel nervous and anxious. Sometimes it’s this anxiety, no t our qualifications, that keeps us from obtaining our dream job. So you must overcome your nervousness and build up confidence. This o ften involves two factors: one mental and the other physica l. Mentall y, it’s important to prepare yourself for the interview without obse ssing over it. Remember, it might be your dream job, but it won’t bethe end of the world if you don’t get it. Tell yourself that the com pany would be lucky to get you; and if they choose someone else, it w ill be their loss. In essence, you need to build your self-confidence. Your ability to answer all questions without hesitation will certain ly impress the interviewer.Now that you are mentally ready for any question that might be thrown your way, it’s time to work on your physical presentation. No matte r what position you are applying for, your physical appearance at the interview will be a big factor in the final determination. It’s alw ays a good idea to wear a suit; it doesn’t have to be a designer sui t, but something plain and conservative. Do not dress too informally. For example, don’t wear a red fashionable jacket for your interview. Make sure, too, that it is clean and pressed. This may seem like com mon sense, but you’d be surprised how careless some applicants are. While it’s not necessary to visit the beauty salon before your inter view, make sure that your nail are well-manicured, and your hair is s tyled carefully and neatly.Task3: An Interview That Upsets the BossJohn was in a terrible accident at work and lost both of his ears. Si nce he was permanently disfigured, he settled with the company for a fairly large compensation and decided to invest the money in a small but growing telecom business. After weeks of negotiations, he bought the company. Then he realized that he knew nothing about running such a business and quickly set out to hire someone who could do that for him.So he set up three job interviewers. The first guy was great. He knew everything the company needed and was very interesting. At the end o f the interview, John asked him, ”Do you notice anything different a bout me?” And the gentleman answered, “Why yes, I couldn’t help no tice you have no ears.” John got very upset and threw him out.The second interview was with a woman, and she was even better than t he first guy. He asked her the same question, “Do you notice anythin g usually about me?” and the she replied, “Well, you have no ears.” Again John got furious and tossed her out.The third and the last interview was the best of all three. It was wi th a very young man who was fresh out of college. He was smart and ha ndsome. And he seemed to be a better businessman than the firs two pu t together. John was anxious to employ him, but asked him the same qu estion, “Do you notice anything different about me?”And to his surprise, the young man answered, “Yes, you wear contact lenses.”John was amazed, and said, “What an incredibly observant young man! How in the world did you know that?”The young man laughed and replied, “Well, it’s pretty hard to wear glasses with no ears!”For Reference1. He lost both of his ears.2. Because he realized that he knew nothing about running the business after he bought it.3. Because the interviewee said he noticed that John had no ears, and John got upset.4. He said he noticed John wore contact lenses.5. He thought it was pretty difficult to wear glasses with no ears.News ReportA Galaxy of Film Prize WinnersThe European Film Awards—First Hollywood, then Cannes, and now Pair s?The European Film Awards ceremony was held in Pairs in early December, honorin g the best in European and world films.Lars von Trier’s Dancer in the Dark was the overall winner of the ev ening, receiving awards for the best European film and best actress—Bjork..The audiences was disappointed, however, as neither von Trier, Bjork, nor the Oscar-winning Italian director Roberto Benigni showed up to accept awards.Still, other prize winners did come. The Irish actor Richard Harris, who was given an award for lifetime achievement, gave a humorous than k-you speech that was the high point of the evening.Another internationally known actor, Jean Reno, also gave an enthusia stic thank-you speech. The French actor received an award for Europea n achievement in world cinema, for his international firm career. Other VIPs from around Europe also attended. But most of the prizes a t the ceremony, which people have been calling“the European Oscars”, went to French films.There was one international film award, which went to a French-Hong K ong co-production, Wong Karwai’s In the Mood for Love.文档。

Conflicts occur when their children fail to reach their expectations. But why do parents tend to expect so much from their children?The harsh reality may be one reason for the high expectations. We can see such logic behind parents' expectations: If their children can study hard, then they will be admitted to key universities, and then they will be much more competitive in job hunting after graduation.The peer pressure is also a contributing factor. Parents tend to compare their kids to other kids interms of academic performance. Parents consider it a shame if their children always lag behind other children. So it is often the case that parents spare no efforts to send their children to expensive training centers.Parents' love for their kids provides another explanation for their burning desire to see the best of their kids. Parents will be proud if their children make great achievements. But sometimes such love becomes a heavy burden on their kids.The harsh reality, peer pressure and parents' love all account for the unreasonable expectations for the kids. To set reasonable expectations for the kids is not easy, but is worth trying; after all, parents don't want the heavy pressure to crush their children.9威尼斯是意大利北部一座世界闻名的岛城：威尼斯建立于公元5世纪，在公元10世纪时成为一支重要的海上力量。

We both got nine questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish, I shouldget the job!”The manger answered calmly, “We have made our decisions based on the correct answers, but on the question you missed.”Unconvinced and somewhat indignant, Murphy question, “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?”The manager?s maser took him by surprise, “Simple, on QuestionNo.5, the American put down ,I don?t?know?, and you put down ,Neither do I?.”Keys: FTTTFTFor Reference1.He made his decision based on the wrong answers to the one question one missed,rather than on the correct answers.2.By writing “Neither do I”, it seems that Murphy copied the American answer onthe test.Task3: A Guide to a Successful Job InterviewScriptThere are times that you will be asked a hard question during a job interview.

During the long vacation I was accepted as a trainee bus conductor. I found the job fiercely demanding even on a short route with a total of about two dozen passengers. I pulled the wrong tickets, forgot the change and wrote up my log (行程记录) at the end of each trip in a way that drew hollow laughter from the inspectors. The inspectors were likely to check at any time. A conductor with twenty years' service could be dismissed if an inspector caught him accepting money without pulling a ticket.It was hot that summer: 100° Fahrenheit (华氏) every day. Inside the bus it was 30° hotter still. It was so jammed inside that my feet weren't touching the floor. I couldn't blink (眨眼睛) the sweat out of my eyes. There was no hope of collecting any fares.In these circumstances I was scarcely to blame. I didn't even know where we were, but I guessed we were at the top just before Market Street. I pressed the bell, the doors closed, and the bus surged forward. There were shouts and yells from down the back, but I thought they were the angry cries of passengers who had not got on. Too late I realized that they were coming from within the bus. The automatic doors at the back of the bus had closed around an old lady's neck as she was getting on. Her head was inside the bus. The rest of her, carrying a shopping bag was outside. I knew none of this at the time.When I at last signaled the driver to stop, he crashed to a halt and opened the automatic doors. The woman dropped to the road. Unfortunately, the car behind turned out to be full of inspectors. Since it would have made headlines if a university student had almost half-killed a woman of an advanced age, I was given the opportunity to leave quietly.1.What do we learn about the inspectors in the first paragraph?A. They found the writer amusing.B. They never wore uniforms.C. They were feared by employees.D. They distrusted older employees.2.Why was the writer unable to do his job properly?A. He wasn't tall enough.B. The buses were too fast.C. People avoided paying.D. He couldn't move.3.The old lady in the incident described ________.A. was injuredB. faintedC. was draggedD. hit her head4.When the incident with old lady happened, ________.A. the writer had already decided to give up the jobB. the writer's employers wanted to avoid publicityC. the writer was offered the chance to continueD. the consequences were as the writer expected5.What is the writer's attitude now to the job?A. He feels responsible for the incident that ended it.B. He thinks that he was unfairly treated by the inspectors.C. He is ashamed that he was incapable of doing it properly.D. He believes that it was an impossible job to do well.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog. Urban (城市的) life has always involved a balancing of opportunities and rewards against dangers and stress; its moving force is, in thebroadest sense, money. Opportunities to make money make competition stressful; it is often at its most intense in the largest cities, where opportunities are greatest. Crime has always flourished in the relative anonymity (人所不知) of urban life, but today's ease of movement makes its control more difficult than ever; there is much evidence that its extent has a direct relationship to the size of communities. City dwellers (居民) may become trapped in their homes by the fear of crime around them.As defense against these developments, city dwellers tend to use various strategies to try and reduce the pressures upon themselves: contacts with other people are generally made brief and impersonal; doors are kept locked; telephone numbers may be ex-directory (未列入电话号码簿的); journeys outside the home are usually hurried, rather than a source of pleasure.Inner areas of cities tend to be abandoned by the more successful and left to those who have done badly in the competitive struggle or who belong to minority groups; these people are then geographically trapped because so much economic activity has migrated to the suburbs and beyond.Present-day architecture and planning have enormously worsened the human problems of urban life. Old-established neighborhoods have been ruthlessly (无情地) swept away, by both public and private organizations, usually to be replaced by huge, ugly, impersonal structures. People have been forced to leave their familiar homes, usually to be re-housed in tower blocks which are inconvenient, and fail to provide any setting for human interaction or support. The destruction of established social structures is the worse possible approach to the difficulties of living in a town or city. Instead, every effort should be made to conserve (保护) the human scale of the environment, and to retain familiar landmarks.6.According to the author, living in a city causes stress becausethere are so many people who are ________.A. anxious to succeedB. in need of helpC. naturally aggressiveD. likely to commit crime7.The author thinks that crime is increasing in cities because________.A. people do not communicate with their neighborsB. criminals are difficult to trace in large populationsC. people feel anonymous thereD. the trappings of success are attractive to criminals8.The majority of people who live in inner cities tend to quit fromthe inner areas because they ________.A. dislike having to travel far to workB. have been forced by circumstances to do soC. don't like the idea of living in the suburbsD. have turned against society9.Architectural changes have affected city life by ________.A. scattering long-established communitiesB. giving the individual a say in planningC. forcing people to live on top of each otherD. making people move to the suburbs10.The author's general argument is that urban life would beimproved by ________.A. moving people out of tower blocksB. restoring old buildingsC. building community centersD. preserving existing social systemsQuestions 11 to 15 are based on the same passage or dialog.My love of nature goes right back to my childhood, to the times when I stayed on my grandparent's farm in Suffolk. I think it was my grandmother who encouraged me more than anyone: she taught me the names of wildflowers and got me interested in looking at the countryside, so it seemed obvious to go on to do Zoology at university.I didn't get my first camera until after I'd graduated, when I was due to go diving in Norway and needed a method of recording the sea creatures I would find there. My father didn't know anything about photography, but he bought me an Exacta, which was really quite a good camera for the time, and I went off to take my first pictures of sea anemones (海葵) and starfish (海星). I became keen very quickly, and I learnt how to develop and print.I've tried from the beginning to produce pictures which are always biologically correct. There are people who will alter things deliberately: you don't pick up sea creatures from the middle of the shore and take them down to attractive pools at the bottom of the shore without knowing you're doing it.There can be a lot of ignorance in people's behaviour towards wild animals and it's a problem that more and more people are going to wild places: while some animals may get used to cars, they won't get used to people suddenly rushing up to them. The sheer pressure of people, coupled with the fact there are increasingly few places where no-one else has photographed, means that over the years, life has become much more difficult for the professional wildlife photographers.Nevertheless (然而), wildlife photographers play a very important part in educating people about what is out there and what needs conserving. Although photography can be an enjoyable pastime (消遣), as it is to many people, it is also something that plays a very important part in educating young and old alike.11.The author decided to go to university and study Zoologybecause ________.A. she wanted to improve her life in the countrysideB. she was persuaded to do so by her grandmotherC. she was keen on the natural worldD. she wanted to stop moving around all the time12.How is the author different from some of the other wildlifephotographers she meets?A. She tries to make her photographs as attractive aspossible.B. She takes photographs which record accurate naturalconditions.C. She likes to photograph plants as well as wildlife.D. She knows the best places to find wildlife.13.The author now finds it more difficult to photograph wildanimals because ________.A. there are fewer of themB. they have become more nervous of peopleC. it is harder to find suitable placesD. they have become frightened of cars14.According to the author, wildlife photography is importantbecause it can make people realize that ________.A. photography is an enjoyable hobbyB. we learn little about wildlife at schoolC. it is worthwhile visiting the countrysideD. it is important to look after wild animals15.Which of the following describes the author?A. Proud.B. Sensitive.C. Aggressive.D. Disappointed.Questions 16 to 20 are based on the same passage or dialog. Real policemen, both in Britain and the United States, hardly recognize any resemblance (相似) between their lives and what they see on TV-if they are even able to watch TV.The first difference is that in real life a policeman has been trained in criminal law. He has to know exactly what actions are crimes and what evidence can be used to prove them in court.He will spend most of his working life typing millions of words on thousands of forms about hundreds of sad, unimportant people who are guilty-or not-of stupid, petty (不重要的) crimes.Most television crime drama is about finding the criminal: as soon as he's arrested, the story is over. In real life, finding criminals is seldom much of a problem. Except in very serious cases like murders and terrorist attacks-where failure to produce results reflects on the standing of the police-little effort is spent on searching.A third big difference is between the drama detective and the real life ones. Detectives are subject to two opposing pressures: first, as members of a police force they always have to behave with absolute legality (合法); secondly, as expensive public servants they have to get results. They can hardly ever do both. Most of the time some of them have to break the rules in small ways.If the detective has to deceive the world, the world often deceives him. Hardly anyone he meets tells him the truth. And this separation the detective feels between himself and the rest of the world is deepened by the simplemindedness-as he sees it-of citizens, social workers, doctors, law-makers, and judges, who, instead of stamping out crime, punish the criminals less severely in the hope that this will make them reform. The result, detectives feel, is that nine-tenths of their time is spent re-catching people who should have stayed behind bars. This makes them rather cynical.16.It is essential for a policeman to be trained in criminal law________.A. so that he can catch criminals in the streetsB. because many of the criminals he has to catch aredangerousC. so that he can justify his arrests in courtD. because he has to know nearly as much about law as aprofessional lawyer17.The everyday life of a policeman or detective is ________.A. exciting and mysteriousB. full of dangerC. devoted mostly to routine mattersD. wasted on unimportant matters18.When murders and terrorist attacks occur the police________.A. prefer to wait for the criminal to give himself awayB. work hard to track down the criminalsC. try to make a quick arrest in order to keep up theirreputationD. usually fail to produce results19.The real detective lives in an unusual moral climate because________.A. he is an expensive public servantB. he must always behave with absolute legalityC. he is obliged to break the law in order to preserve itD. he feels himself to be cut off from the rest of the world20.Detectives are rather cynical because ________.A. nine-tenths of their work involves arresting peopleB. hardly anyone tells them the truthC. society does not punish criminals severely enoughD. D too many criminals escape from jail。

From the tone of his voice and the expression on his face, it's obvious he's enjoying this moment. He says, "Honey, I've got a surprise for you. I know we've been marriedfor 20 years, but I want a divorce."The wife says nothing, but slowly increases the speed to 70 mph.He then says, "I don't want you to try to talk me out of it because I don't love you any more."Again the wife stays quiet, but speeds up as her rage increases."I want the house," he insists, pressing his luck.The wife speeds up to 80 mph.He says, "I want the car, too," but she just drives faster and faster.

They have to learn the art of blending. A happy remarriage is possible with preparation, patience and prayer. Here are some tips for you.Firstly, slow down. Do not rush your children into trying to like someone. A person you're dating should not even be introduced to your children unless you are sure he or she can get along well with your kids. Your children won't understand the concept of "we're just friends", so they will see every date as a potential replacement for mom or dad.Secondly, you should seek advice. Talk to your close friends or a psychiatrist. After listening to their advice, you may see some new light and act in a more sensible way.Thirdly, you should expect difficulties. Understand that your children have the dream of reuniting their original family. They must be sad about their losses. Surprisingly, older children need even more time to overcome their sadness than younger children. Just as it takes time to heal, it also takes time to build and rebuild relationships. Although you'd expect that most readjustments would need to be made by the stepparent, the biological parent has adjustments of his or her own, including issues of authority within the new household as well as communication with the other parent.Finally, proceed with caution. Although it is not impossible to have a happy and satisfying stepfamily, you should know that there will be some difficult days ahead. Don't impose friendship on the kids who arenot yet ready to accept it.。
