Interviews are part of most people' s working life. Here are some handy tips on how to do your best at interviews.Interviews are part of most people' s working life. Here are some handy tips on how to do your best at interviews.
Don' t mistakenly think that your interviewers want to know about you. They are interested only in that small part of you that can or can' t do the job they have advertised.
sadly , many of us are so flattered by questions such as "Tell me about your strengths" that we take it as an invitation to chatter and make fools of ourselves.
Never think that lots of enthusiasm is enough. sit down with a pen , paper and the job description ，and work out the skills and qualities they are looking for.
Itemize your technical or professional skills as they match the requirements of the job. Then recall an incident to illustrate each of these skills. When you have done this
, you will be in a position to begin justifying your ability and suitability.
Remember that very few questions are lightly asked.
If your interviewers are interviewing more than a couple of candidates , they have probably worked up a list of eight to ten questions to put to each person. In well-organized businesses , they will be making marks in their notebooks as you give your replies. An imprecise answer will show that you do not appreciate the value of the question. s0 think through how you can give strong
, specific answers to questions such as "Can you work well in a team or on your own or in a small business?"
Avoid giving them reasons to exclude you. You want to appear the sort of person who will help out in a crisis. make the tea sometimes even if it is not your job. be tolerant of others. whatever their age ,sex , race or religion ,
and be easy to manage. Don't attack your previous employer as it suggests you might attack your now one.
Try asking them a few questions. If you ask what sort of projects you would be likely to start work on ,you might then get back some very useful feedback. If they start opening Up
to you , you can get into a more equal conversation and may have an opportunity to show that you can deal with the sort of situation they are describing.
31. The passage is to show the applicant how to ( )
A. prepare for a job interview
B. do their best at a job interview
C. impress the interviewers at a job interview
32. The applicant should not attack his previous boss at the interview because ( )
A. the interviewer and the applicant' s previous boss may be birds of a feather
B. a man who speaks ill of somebody else in the back is not reliable and trustworthy
C. the interviewer may think that， if one attacks his previous employer now , he might attack his new one later
33. Why is it good for the applicant to ask the interviewer a few questions? ( )
A. He can have more chance of demonstrating his ability.
B. He can learn more about the interviewer' s likes and dislikes.
C. He can make the interview run in the way in his favor.
34. According to the passage , which of the following is true? ( )
A. Y ou should answer every question raised by the interviewer as thoroughly as possible.
B. You should try your best to flatter the interviewer and never disagree with him.
C. It is foolish to take the question "Tell me about your strengths" as an invitation to chatter.
35. It can be inferred from the passage that ( )
A. interviewers always want to know as many as possible about the applicant
B. a careful analysis of your qualifications will better prepare you for the interview
C. one should give more attention to questions like ‘Can you work well in a team?"

第2题：
Five Ways to Win Over Everyone in the Office Is it possible to like everyone in your office?Think about how tough it is to get together 15 people,much less 50,who all get along perfectly.But unlike in friendships,you need coworkers.You work with them every day and you depend on them just as they depend on you.Here are some ways that you can get the whole office on your side 41.____If you have a bone to pick with someone in your workplace,you may try stay tight-lipped around them.But you won't be helping either one of you.A Harvard Business School study found that observers consistently rated those who were frank about themselves more highly,while those who hid lost trustworthiness.The lesson is not that you should make your personal life an open book,but rather,when given the option to offer up details about yourself or painstakingly conceal them,you should just be honest.42._____Just as important as being honest about yourself is being receptive to others.We often feel the need to tell others how we feel,whether it's a concern about a project,a stray thought,or a compliment.Those are all valid,but you need to take time to hear out your coworkers,too.In fact,rushing to get your own ideas out there can cause colleagues to feel you don't value their opinions.Do your best to engage coworkers in a genuine,back-and-forth conversation,rather than prioritizing your own thoughts.43._____It's common to have a“cubicle mate"or special confidant in a work setting.But in addition to those trusted coworkers,you should expand your horizons and find out about all the people around you.Use your lunch and coffee breaks to meet up with colleagues you don't always see.Find out about their lives and interests beyond the job.It requires minimal effort and goes a long way.This will help to gTow your internal network,in addition to being a nice break in the work day.44._____Positive feedback is important for anyone to hear.And you don't have to be someone's boss to tell them they did an exceptional job on a particular project.This will help engender good will in others.But don't overdo it or be fake about it.One study found that people responded best to comments that shifted from negative to positive,possibly because it suggested they had won somebody over.45.______This one may be a bit more difficult to pull off,but it can go a long way to achieving results.Remember in dealing with any coworker what they appreciate from an interaction.Watch out for how they verbalize with others.Some people like small talk in a meeting before digging into important matters,while other are more straightforward.Jokes that work one person won't necessarily land with another,So,adapt your style accordingly to type.Consider the person that you re dealing with in advance and what will get you to your desired outcome.44选？A.Give compliments,just not too many.
B.Put on a good face,always.
C.Tailor your interactions.
D.Spend time with everyone.
E.Reveal,don't hide,information.
F.Slow down and listen.
G.Put yourselves in others'shoes.答案：A解析：解析：根据段落转折句，“但是不要过度去做或者做假。应该做的内容就在下句，“一个研究发现，人们对于从负面到正面的评价反应最好，也许因为这个评价表明他们有比其他人做得好。因此这就是要称赞，但是不能太多。 -

How to Get Along Well With Your Boss
1 Before you argue with your boss,check with the boss's secretary to determine his mood.If he ate nails for breakfast,it is not a good idea to ask him for something.Even without the boss's secretary,there are keys to timing:don't approach the boss when he's on deadline,don't go in right before lunch,when he is apt to be distracted and rushed,don't go in just before or after he has taken a vacation.
2 If you're mad,that will only make your boss mad.Calm down first,and don't let a particular concern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration.The boss will feel that you think negatively about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind.Then maybe he will dismiss you.
3 Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss.Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear.The employee has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understand it.
4 Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more.If you can't put forward an immediate solution,at least suggest how to approach the problem.People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they can't get past the secretary.
5 To deal effectively with a boss,it's important to consider his goals and pressures.If you can put yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss,then he will be naturally more inclined to work with you to achieve your goals.If you want to ask the boss for anything,it is important to find out first______.
A:to give the boss your advice
B:how he is feeling
C:the boss may have
D:what you really want to talk to him about
E:without suggesting a way to solve it
F:how unhappy you are答案：B解析：文章第二段第一句话“If you are mad , that will only make your boss mad.”是本段的主题句，是说如果你在心情不好时去找老板，这样会把事情弄得更糟。故选D。
由文章第三段第一句和第二句话“Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss.Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear.”可知，当老板或员工不知道对方想探讨的问题是什么时，就会引发激烈的争吵，而当双方都清楚了之后就可能不会争吵。故选E0
由文章第四段第二句和第三句话“If you can ' t put forward an immediate solution , at least suggest how to approach the problem.People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they can ' t get past the secretary.”可知，如果你不能提出解决问题的即时方案，至少也要给老板建议可以解决问题的途径。那些只会不断向老板提出问题而不提供解决办法的人很快就会发现他们在老板秘书那都过不了关，更别提会被老板接见了。因此，在提出问题时也要提出问题的解决办法。故选C。
文章第五段第一句话“To deal effectively with a boss , it ' s important to consider his goals and pressures.”是本段的主题句，是说应该设身处地地从老板的角度看问题，这样老板才会愿意帮助你解决你所提出的问题。故选B。
由文章第一段第一句话“Before you argue with your boss , check with the boss ' s secretary to determine his mood.”可知，如果想要向老板询问什么，应该首先向老板的秘书确认老板此刻的心情。故选B。
由文章第三段可知，让老板明白你想要探讨的问题是很必要的。故选D。
由文章第四段可知，只向老板提出问题，而不提供解决办法是不明智的。故选E。
由文章最后一段第一句话“To deal effectively with a boss , it ' s important to consider his goals and pressures.”可知，应该设身处地地从老板的角度考虑老板所面临的问题和麻烦，才会取得有效的解决问题的办法。故选C。 -

【录音原文】
M: Hi! Are you busy right now?
W: Oh. Hi, Scan. There’s a meeting at two-thirty, but I have a few minutes. What can I do for you?
M: Well. I wanted to talk with you before I went to register for next semester. That’ll be my last term here’ cause I hope to transfer to the university next year.
W: Great! Have you applied to the university yet?
M: Not yet. The deadline’s not till March 1.
W: Right.
M: But I was, uh, I wanted to check with you to see if there are any other courses I still need before I transfer. I think I’ve filled all the requirements, but I, uh, just wanted to make sure before I register.
W: All right. Let me pull up your record. Let’s see now …Sean Howard. Here we are. Hmm. All right, it looks like you’ve got all of your English and math credits, so you’re OK there, as well as your humanities and uh, social sciences. But for natural science…hmm…you took biology in your first year, but I don’t see anything after that. You’re required to have at least one more natural science coupe before you can transfer.
M: Oh, really? I thought I needed only one science course.
W: No, sorry, you need at least eight credits in natural science, and that means two courses.
M: I didn’t know that. OK. Then I wonder which course I should take. What do you recommend?
W: Next semester…let’s see…it looks like astronomy, botany, and ecology are all being offered. There’s also a course in meteorology for non-science majors.
M: Meteorology? Do you mean, like, the weather?
W: That’s right.
M: Hey, that might be kind of interesting. I always wanted to know how they forecast the weather.
W: Then that’s the fight course for you. Oh, and, Sean, it looks like you also need two credits in physical education.
M: Physical!
W: Right. You’re required to have four credits, and you’ve only got two so far.
M: Oh, boy. Well, OK, that shouldn’t be too hard. Maybe I should take golf—that is offered in the spring, right?
W: Golf? Uh…yes, it is. Do you play?
M: Not very well, no. I’ve only played a couple of times, but I need to do better than that. My boss plays golf and he’s always talking about it. It would be nice to know what he’s talking about!
W: Then you’d better take golf. You’ve got to play golf with your boss!
M: OK, OK, you talked me into it! Hey, thanks for your time. I appreciate your help, and I’ll get out of your way now.
W: Glad to help, Sean. Good luck with registration!

Harmless Revenge
Revenge is one of those things that everyone enjoys.People don't like to talk about it,though.Just the
same,there is nothing more satisfying or more rewarding than revenge.The purpose is not to harm your vic-
tims but to let them know that you are upset about something that they are doing to you.Careful plotting can
provide you with relief from bothersome co-workers,gossiping friends,or nagging family members.
Co-workers who make comments about the fact that you are always fifteen minutes late for work can be
taken care of very simply.All you have to do is get up extra early one day.Before the sun comes up,drive
to each coworker's house.Reach under the hood of your coworker's car and disconnect the center wire that
leads to the distributor cap,the car will be unharmed,but it will not start,and your friends at work will all
be late for work on the same day.If you're lucky,your boss might notice that you are the only one there and
will give you a raise.
Gossiping friends at school are also perfect targets for a simple act of revenge.A way to trap either male
or female friends is to leave phony messages on their lockers.If the friend that you want to get is male,leave
a message that a certain girl would like him to stop by her house later that day.With any luck,her boyfriend
will be there.The girl won't know what's going on,and the victim will be so embarrassed that he probably
won't leave his home for a month.
When Mom and Dad and your sisters and brothers really begin to annoy you,harmless revenge may be
just the way to make them quiet down for a while.The dinner table is a likely place.Just before the meal
begins,throw a handful of raisins into the food.Wait about five minutes and,after everyone has begun to
eat,cover your mouth with your hand and begin to make odd noises.When they ask you what the matter is,

How to Get along Well with Your Boss
1 Before you argue with your boss,check with the boss's secretary to determine his mood.If he ate
nails for breakfast,it is not a good idea to ask him for something.Even without the boss's secretary,there
are keys to timing don't approach the boss when he's on deadline,don't go in right before lunch,when he
is apt to be distracted and rushed,don't go in just before or after he has taken a vacation.
2 If you're mad,that will only make your boss mad.Calm down first.And don'tlet a particular con-
cern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration.The boss will feel that you think negatively
about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind.Then maybe he will dismiss you.
3 Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem
the other wants to discuss.Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear. The employee
has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understand it.
4 Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more.If you can'tput forward an immediate
solution,at least suggest how to approach the problem.People who frequently present problems without solu-
tions to their bosses may soon find they can'tget past the secretary.
5 To deal effectively with a boss,it's important to consider his goals and pressures.If you can put
yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss,then he will be naturally more inclined to work with
you to achieve your goals.Paragraph 5__________
A:Keep Your Voice Low All the Time
B:Put Yourself in the Boss's Position
C:Propose Your Solution
D:Don't Go In When You Are Angry
E:Make the Issue Clear
F:Never Give In答案：B解析：文章第二段的第一句“If you are mad , that will only make your boss mad.”是本段的主题句，是说如果你在心情不好时去找老板会把事情弄得更糟。故选D。
从文章第三段的第一句和第二句“Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss.Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear.”一知，当老板或员工都不知道对方想探讨的问题是什么时，就会引发激烈的争吵。而当双方都清楚了之后就不会有争吵。因此，双方都应清楚对方要说什么。故选E。
文章第四段的第二句话和第三句“If you can' t put forward an immediate solution, at least suggest how to approach the problem.People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they can' t get past the secretary.”可知，如果你不能提出立刻就能解决问题的办法，也要至少给老板建议可以解决问题的途径。那些只会不断向老板提出问题而不提供解决办法的人很快就发现他们在老板秘书那就过不了关，更别提会被老板接见。因此，在提出问题时也要提出问题的解决办法。故选C。
文章第五段的第一句是本段主题句，"To deal effectively with a boss, it' s important to consider his goals and pressures.”意思是说应该从老板的位置看问题，设身处地，老板才会愿意帮助你。故选B。
从语法上看，这里需要的是一个宾语，现在填人的是一个宾语从句。再看本句的意义和文章第一句“Before you argue with your boss , check with the boss's secretary to determine his mood.”的意思相同。故选B。
这句话需要填人的是动词make的宾语，根据文章第三段的内容可知“让老板明白你想要探讨的问题是很必要的”,D选项的内容与之相同。
由文章第四段可知，只提出问题，不提供解决办法是不聪明的。故选E。
从本句的结构来看，the trouble后面需要有限定或修饰的成分，故填人一个定语从句。根据句意，从文章最后一段的第一句“To deal effectively with a boss,it's importantt。consider his goals and pressures"，可以找到答案，C为最佳答案。 -
