Researches show that many people do not leave all organizations but leave a boss.So it

is vital that when you apply for a position, you not only look at the organization and the role, but also interview your future boss.Applying for a new job is a two-way street—they select you and you select them. Before you go to the interview, write clown what your selection standards are for an effective boss.You can make a list of selection criteria, such as: What made your last boss "good" for you？ How do you like to be trained？ How do you like your boss to communicate with you？

Then you place them in order of importance.The most important should be on top of the list.Once you are clear on your standards, you may get some idea of how your future boss operates by the way the interview is conducted.For example, did it start and finish on time？ How formal or informal was the room？

When the interview gets to the "Do you have any questions？" stage, you might like to ask some questions.With well-prepared questions, you can develop a very good idea of your future boss's management style.

第5题

You're busy filling out the application form. for a position you really need, let's assume

you once actually completed a couple of years of college work or even that you completed your degree. Isn't it tempting to lie just a little, to claim on the form. that your diploma represents a Harvard degree？ Or that you finished an extra couple of years back at State University？

More and more people are turning to utter deception like this to land their job or to move ahead in their careers, for personnel officers, like most Americans, value degrees from famous schools. A job applicant may have a good education anyway, but he or she assumes that chances of being hired are better with a diploma from a well-known university. Registrars at most well-known colleges say they deal with deceitful claims like these at the rate of about one per week.

Personnel officers do check up on degrees listed on application forms, then. If it turns out that an applicant is lying, most colleges are reluctant to accuse the applicant directly. One Ivy League school calls them "impostors". Another refers to them as "special cases". One well-known West Coast school, in perhaps the most delicate phrase of all, says that these claims are made by "no such people".

To avoid complete lies, some job-seekers claim that they "attended" or "were associated with" a college or university. After carefully checking, a personnel officer may discover that "attending" means being dismissed after one semester. It may be that "being associated with" a college means that the job-seeker visited his younger brother for a football weekend. One school that keeps records of false claims says that the practice dates back at least to the turn of the century--that's when they began keeping records, anyhow.

If you don't want to lie or even stretch the truth, there are companies that will sell you a fake diploma. One company, with officers in New York and on the West Coast, will put your name on a diploma from any number of nonexistent colleges. The price begins at around twenty dollars for a diploma from "Smoot State University". The prices increase rapidly for a degree from the "University of Purdue". As there is no Smoot State and the real school in Indiana is properly called Purdue University, the prices seems rather high for one sheet of paper.

The main idea of this passage is that ______.

A．employers are checking more closely on applicants now

B．lying about college degrees has become a widespread problem

C．college degrees can now be purchased easily

D．employers are no longer interested in college degrees

No one knows how man learned to make words. Perhaps he began by making sounds like those m

ade by animals. Perhaps he grunted like a pig when he lifted something heavy. (78)Perhaps he made sounds like those he heard all round him—water splashing, bees humming, a stone falling to the ground. Somehow he learned to make words. As the centuries went by, he made more and more new words. This is what we mean by language.

People living in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fifteen hundred different languages in the world. Each contains many thousands of words. A very large English dictionary, for example, contains four or five hundred thousand words. But we do not need all these. Only a few thousand words are used in everyday life.

The words you know are called your vocabulary. You should try to make your vocabulary bigger. Read as many books as you can. There are plenty of books written in easy English for you to read. You will enjoy them. When you meet a new word, find it in your dictionary. Your dictionary is your most useful book.

From this passage, we know that ______.

A．man never made sounds

B．man made animal sounds

C．man used to be like animals to make sounds

D．man learned from the animals to make sounds

Contrary to its rather negative reputation in the West, pigs in Chinese culture are a sign

of kindness and generosity. Pigs care a great deal about friends and family and work hard to keep everyone in their life happy. Chinese people view the pig as a smart and prosperous animal. Western ideas tend to be a little more negative.

When talking to a Westerner, however, you have to be a little careful when you talk about pigs. A pig in the West is seen as a dirty, lazy, and fat animal. If anyone ever called you a pig, you wouldn't be smiling. When a person doesn't like someone, sometimes he will call that person a pig.

If you ever meet a Westerner who was born in the year of the pig, don't say, "Oh, you're a pig!" Most Westerners will be quite understanding. They will be sure that you made some kind of a mistake. However, don't take any chances. You might just offend someone who does not share your positive ideas about pigs.

You have to be careful when you talk to a Westerner about pigs because______.

A．they worship pigs best of all

B．they consider pigs as bad animals

C．they aren’t used to talking about pigs

D．they don't like the topic about pigs at all

Which of your two hands do you use more？ Very few of us can use both hands equally well. M

ost of us are right-handed. Only about five people out of a hundred are left-handed. New-born babies can take hold of things with either of their hands, but. in about two years they usually use their right hands. Scientists have found that monkeys like to use one of their hands more than the other, but it can be either hand. There are as many right-handed monkeys as there are left-handed ones. Next time when you visit a zoo, you'll see that some of them will use their right hands and others will use their left hands. But most of the people use their right hands better and this makes life difficult for those left-handed people. We live in a right-handed world.

Most people ______.

A．are left-handed

B．are right-handed

C．can use both hands equally well

D．never use left hands

Passage Four If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season

Passage Four

If you are like most people, your intelligence varies from season to season. You are probably a lot sharper in the spring than you are at any other time of year. A noted scientist, Ells- worth Huntington (1876-1947) concluded from other men's work and his own among peoples in different climates that climate and: temperature have a definite effect on our mental abilities.

He found that cool weather is much more favorable for creative thinking than summer heat is. This does not mean that all people are less intelligent in the summer than they are during the rest of the year. It does mean, however, that mental, abilities of large numbers of people tend to be lowest in the summer.

Spring appears to be the best period of the year for thinking. One reason may be that in the spring man's mental abilities are affected by the same factors that bring about great changes in all nature.

Fall is the next best season, then winter. As for summer, it seems to be a good time to take a long vacation from thinking!

46. According to the passage, your mental ability ______.

A. depends on your attitude towards people in different time of the year

B. changes for the worst when you dislike most people in hot season

C. will be best in winter and worst in summer if you want to be creative

D. turns to be more powerful in spring than in any of the other seasons
