五、阅读理解题 (30) 分
passage 1
the key to a good interview is thorough preparation. if you have prepared yourself well， the interview will most likely run smoothly ａnd you will present yourself confidently.
as soon as you are invited to attend an interview，start researching facts about the company， such as the number of persons the company employs，specific fields in which it is involved. work for which it is particularly well known，its major products ａnd services， location of branch offices，ａnd the company’s involvement in community activities. such knowledge can be extremely ｕｓｅful during the interview， because it permits you to ask intelligent questions at appropriate places--questions that indicate to the interviewer that you have done your homework.
you also need to prepare for difficult questions an interviewer may ask to test your readiness for the interview ａnd the sincerity(真诚) of your application. you may be asked: 1) why do you want to join our ｏrganization? 2) how do you think you can contribute to our company?
3) why do you want to leave your present employer? 4) what do you expect to be
doing in five years? ten years?
if you have not prepared for such questions，ａnd so hesitate before answering， an interviewer may interpret your hesitation to mean you find a question difficult to answer ｏr there are factors you would rather to hide. in either case， you may inadvertently(非故意地) provide an entirely misleading impression of yourself.

passage 2
do you know how to ｕｓｅ a mobile phone without being rude to the people around you?
talking during a performance irritates(激怒) people. if you are expecting an emergency call， sit near the exit doors ａnd set your phone to vibrate(振动). when your mobile phone vibrates， you can leave quietly ａnd let the others enjoy the performance. think twice before using mobile phones in elevators， museums， churches ｏr other indoｏr public places--especially enclosed spaces. would you want to listen to someone’s conversation in these places? wｏrse yet， how would you feel if a mobile phone rang suddenly during a funeral(葬礼)! it happens mｏre often than you think. avoid these embarrassing situations by making sure your mobile phone is switched off.
when eating at a restaurant with friends， don’t place your mobile phone on the table. this conveys the message that your phone calls are mｏre impｏrtant than those around you.

many people believe that they can’t live without their mobile phone. owning a mobile phone definitely makes
life m ｏre convenient ， but limit your conversations to urgent ones ａnd save the personal calls until you are at home. CBDCC

e. passage 3
the human body has developed its millions of nerves(神经) to be highly
aware of what goes on both inside ａnd outside of it. this helps us adjust to the outside wｏrld. without our nerves ａnd our brain， which is a system of nerves，we couldn’t know what’s happening. but we pay fｏr our sensitivity. we can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. the histｏry of tｏrture(折磨) is based on the human body being open to pain.
but there is a way to handle pain. look at the indian fakir(苦行僧) who sits on a bed of nails. fakirs can put a needle right through an arm，ａnd feel no pain. this ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.
the big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude toward it. if the dentist says，“this will hurt a little，” it helps us to accept the pain. by staying relaxed，ａnd by treating the pain as an interesting sensation(感觉)， we can handle the pain without falling apart.
after all，although pain is an unpleasant sensation，it is still a sensation，ａnd sensations are the
stuff of life.
