    What should you think about in trying to find your career? You are probably better at some school subjects than others. These may show strengths that you can use in your work. A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work. So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school. On the other hand, you may not have any specially strong or weak subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard. Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job, they may have indirect value. Knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details. This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.
    Your school may have taught you skills, such as typing or technical drawing, which you can use in your work. You may be good at metal work or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.
    If you have had a part-time job on Saturdays or in the summer, think what you gained from it. If nothing else, you may have learned how to get to work on time, to follow instructions and to get on with older workers. You may have learned to give correct change in a shop, for example. Just as important, you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in apart-time job. Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself. You may be all thumbs when you handle tools; perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures. It is bitter to face any weaknesses than to pretend they do not exist. Your school record, for instance, may not be too good, yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.

    The writer thinks that for a student to have a part-time job is probably__________.

    共用题干
    Research shows we make up our minds about people through unspoken communication within seven seconds of meeting them. Consciously or unconsciously,we show our true feelings with our eyes,faces,bodies and attitudes,causing a chain of reactions,ranging from comfort to fear.
    Think about some of your most unforgettable meetings:an introduction to your future spouse,a job interview,an encounter with a stranger. Focus on the first seven seconds.What did you feel and think?How did you"read"the other person?How do you think he read you?
    You are the message.For 25 years I've worked with thousands who want to be successful.I've helped them make persuasive presentations,answer unfriendly questions,communicate more effectively.The secret has always been you are the message.Others will want to be with you and help you if you use your good qualities.They include:physical appearance,energy,rate of speech, pitch and tone of voice,gestures,expression through the eyes,and the ability to hold the interest of others.Others form an impressiont about you based on these.
    Think of times when you know you made a good impression.What made you successful?You were committed to what you were talking about and so absorbed in the moment you lost all self-con-sciousness.
    Many books advise you to stride into a room and impress others with your qualities.They instruct you to greet them with"power handshakes"and tell you to fix your eyes on the other person. If you follow all this advice,you'll drive everyone crazy一including yourself.
    The trick is to be consistent at your best.The most effective people never change from one situation to another. They're the same whether they're having a conversation,addressing their garden club or being interviewed for a job.They communicate with their whole being;the tones of their voices and their gestures match their words.

    According to the author the most important is not to change from one situation to another.
    A:Right
    B:Wrong
    C:Not mentioned

    答案:A
    解析:
    从文章第一段我们知道研究表明人们会在相互之间的接触中通过眼神、面部表情等的沟通来对他人作出判断。因此本句表述是正确的。
    文章告诉我们要重视会面的前七秒钟,它能帮助我们读懂对方。因此本句的表述是正确的。
    文章第三段仅仅提到外貌是我们能够利用的特点之一,并没有提到它是最重要的,因此选择C项。
    从文章第三段我们知道别人对你的印象就是根据外表、活力、语速、语音语调、手势、眼神,以及使他人对你保持兴趣的能力等因素形成的。因此本句的表述是错误的。
    文章第五段明显告诉我们作者并不赞同有些书上建议的用有力的握手问候他人,并且用双眼注视对方。因此本句的表述是错误的。
    文章最后一段告诉我们诀窍在于要始终如一地保持最佳状态的自我,给人印象最深的那些人从不随着情境的变化而改变自己。因此本句的表达是正确的。
    从文章最后一段我们知道沟通时应当使手势和话语匹配。因此本句的表达是正确的。

  • 第8题:

    Five Ways to Show Emotional Intelligence In a Job Interview The World Economic Forum,in its Future of Job Report,has indicated that Emotional Intelligence will be number six of the top ten job skills required by 2020.Awareness of this in organizations has greatly increased interest in hiring people with high emotional intelligence as well as boosting emotional intelligence amongst existing staff.Here are five ways to demonstrate emotional intelligence in a job interview:41.Take a cue from professional athletes when they are interviewed after a win or achievement.They always credit their team mates,their team,rather than taking personal accolades.When asked about a project that you are proud of,or that was successful!be sure to share credit with the team,unit and others that were involved in the project.Make it clear that you are proud to be a member of the group that was involved in the success.This gives more credibility to you being a team player than if you simply claim that you are;which everyone does.42.The typical answer that we were told in the past was to talk about something that is actually a strength.For example,claiming to be a perfectionist,or becoming too involved in your job,which can be seen as strengths by an employer.These answers do not cut it anymore,as interviewers are looking for something more substantial.When disclosing a flaw,be sure to indicate what you are actively doing to work on this and give examples of making progress.Interviewers know that we all have weaknesses and suspect that we may try to hide those in the interview.As long as your shortcoming does not raise any red flags,being honest,open and genuine will help gain their trust and respect.43 For this question,raiher than only focusing on your qualifications or technical ability,talk about your ability ro work well wiih others in a teamwork setting.Your ability to adapt to change,setbacks and work well with co-workers and customers is important to bring up.Instead of simply mentioning these things,be prepared to come up with examples of when you had to use those skills.Perhaps there was conflict within your unit,or you had to deal with a furious customer.Talk about how you used your soft skills to effectively deal with these situations.44.The worst thing you can do in this case is to blame others for the situation.State what happened but avoid casting blame.What the interviewer wants to know is how you reacted and if you did anything to improve the situation.ir asked what your part in it was,be prepared to accept your share of the responsibility but speak in terms of what you would've done differently looking back on the situation.Interviewers expect people to make mistakes,but wam to know if you are someone who learns from their mistakes and takes away the lesson.45.At the end of an interview,we are typically asked if we have any questions.Ask questions about the culture,values of an organization and what it takes for people to be successful in it.Bring up any positive experiences with people in their organization or their customers you have had in the past and your observations.It will show that you are not only interested in a job but are looking to see how you will fit into the company,42选?

    A.Are You a Team Player?
    B.What Did You Do When Things Went Off the Rails?
    C.What Are You Most Proud Of?
    D.What Are Your Strengths?
    E.What Questions Do You Have For Me?
    F.What Are Your Weaknesses?
    G.How Would You Deal With a Furious Customer?

    答案:F
    解析:
    本段首先举例指出“似贬实褒,借短说长”的典型做法不再有效,随后建议求职者应诚实坦露缺点,并着重说明自己如何努力改正缺点以及取得了何种进步。综合可知,本段针对“求职者如何谈论自身缺点”提议,[F]“你的缺点是什么?”与之相符,weaknesses在本段复现,且与flaw、shortcoming同义。[解题技巧]D.中.strengths在本段复现.形成干扰,但本段以已经过Ht的典型套路“谈论实为优点的所谓’缺点”’引出谈论缺点的正确方式,段落重点实为“缺点”,D.偏离段意重点。

  • 第9题:

    资料:The market is a concept. If you are growing tomatoes in your backyard for sale you are producing for the market. You might sell some to your neighbor and some to the local manager of the supermarket. But in either case, you are producing for the market. Your efforts are being directed by the market. If people stop buying tomatoes, you will stop producing them.
    If you take care of a sick person to earn money, you are producing for the market. If your father is a steel worker or a truck driver or a doctor or a grocer, he is producing goods or service for the market.
    When you spend your income, you are buying things from the market. You may spend money in stores, supermarkets, gas stations and restaurants. Still you are buying from the market. When the local grocer hires you to drive the delivery truck, he is buying your labor in the labor market.
    The market may be something abstract. But for each person or business that is making and selling something, it is very concrete. If nobody buys your tomatoes, it won’t be long before you get the message. The market is telling you something. It is telling you that you are using energies and resources in doing something the market doesn’t want you to do.

    Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?

    A.Selling and Buying
    B.What Is the Market?
    C.Everything You Do Is Producing for the Market
    D.What the Market Can Do for You?

    答案:B

    To: Mr. Walker, Human Resources Director
    From: Zhang Gao, Translating Coordinator
    Date: May 16, 2012
    Subject: Management Skills Most Suitable for Foreign Language Translators
    The Company has planned three training courses for all foreign language translators for the next three months and I have been required to recommend one course as being the most suitable.
    The three courses from which a choice may be made are as follows:
    (i)English Language Development; (ii) Changes in Technology; (iii) Management Skills.
    All translators in the Company have college degrees in English Language and a lot of colleagues in our field have postgraduate qualifications in Translation or Linguistics. Since English Language Training Course of the Company is only to Diploma level and contains nothing new to us, it is not useful for us and is best left to other colleagues.
    Two months ago all Company’s translators finished an excellent “Changes in Technology” course, which brought us up-to-date information on use of machine translating and personal computers. Obviously, there is no need for us to attend the “Changes in Technology” course again.
    Undoubtedly the “Management Skills” course is the best choice for the Company’s translators. Recently it has been announced that next year our department will be divided into four sections, each of which will serve a specific division of a much-expanded Company. We will recruit twenty new English Language graduates as new translators, five to each section. We four existing translators will be promoted as Heads of Section.
    All four of us are shortage of management skills and, when we manage our own sections, such skills will be indispensable. As a result, I will recommend without hesitation that all translators be enrolled for the “Management Skills” training course.

  • 第20题:

    资料:What if you were told there was a way you may strengthen your cognitive skills and heighten your intelligence, and all you had to do was was learn to strike up basic conversations in another language?
    It probably sounds great, because if you’re like most you would love to be able to speak a second language. But then, you recall your experience in high school foreign language-boring tote memorization and long hours with little progress-and perhaps it doesn’t sound so good any more.
    But, what if you were told it would take only 10 days to be on your way to becoming bilingual? Most people recognize the many benefits of learning a foreign language: You can travel to foreign countries and fell comfortable, be a more productive and enticing employee in today’s competitive job market, and immerse yourself in the vast cultures that surround you.
    But now, the collective evidence from a number of recent studies suggests that the bilingual experience improves the brain’s so-called executive function-a command system that directs the attention processes that we use for planning, solving problems, and performing various other mentally demanding tasks.
    These processes include the ability to ignore distractions to stay focused, switching attention willfully from one thing to another, and holding information in the mind-like remembering a sequence of directions while driving.
    Even better, new approaches to learning mean you can learn a new language without the endless repetition, homework, and memorization. One of the most powerful actually trains people to start speaking a new language in as little as 10 days! In fact, it’s so powerful, even the FBI has purchased it!

    Materials and Tools for Language Learning ① The range of materials and tools available to help you with your language studies is huge, from dictionaries to language courses. All of them can help you in different ways, and the appropriate use of these materials and courses will make your language learning much easier and more effective. ② Possibly the most useful tools there are for learning a language are dictionaries. Dictionaries come in a number of formats including bilingual, monolingual, illustrated, electronic and online. Bilingual dictionaries are perhaps the most useful ones for beginners and intermediate learners, while monolingual dictionaries, which are designed for native speakers, are also useful for advanced learners. Pocket dictionaries are good for quick reference and easy to carry around. Larger dictionaries are better if you want more definitions, examples of usage, and information about pronunciation, and grammar. Electronic dictionaries are available as handheld units, or as software. Handheld ones are portable, easy and quick to search, and often provide other functions, such as, text-to-speech, voice recognition and speech synthesis organizers, address books. They tend to be rather expensive though. Software dictionaries offer many of the same functions, and can be used on computers, and mobile phones. ③ The traditional courses tend to consist of textbooks containing dialogues, exercises, notes on grammar, and maybe cultural information. Accompanying cassettes, CDs and/or mp3s are often available. Most such courses are intended for complete beginners or people with only minimal knowledge of the language. Intermediate and advanced-level courses are available for some of the popular languages, such as French, German, Italian and Spanish. ④ Audio courses usually consist solely of cassettes or CDs, though some may also include a limited amount of printed material. All dialogues, exercises, instructions and explanations are recorded and the focus of these courses is teaching you to understand and speak the languages. They are very good at teaching you authentic pronunciation and a manageable amount of vocabulary. ⑤ Various computer-aided courses are available on CD-ROMs and DVDs. Each course is different but they generally include dialogues, audio, exercises and tests. Some also include phrasebooks, dictionaries, videos, games and provide online and/or telephone support. 1.Paragraph①() 2.Paragraph②() 3.Paragraph③() 4.Paragraph④() 5.Paragraph⑤() A.

    Candidate A=A Candidate B=B
    A: Since it is the first time for our company to attend a trade fair in Paris, I think we have to do a lot of preparations beforehand. What’s your view?
    B: I agree. I suppose we need to bring a lot of introductions, samples and brochures of our products with us. At the same time, it is advisable that we prepare free gifts printed with the name of our company so as to promote our products in the fair and pursue sales in the future. To make our exhibition special and attractive, I think it is important that we invite some experts to help us with the designing of the exhibition stand. We must make every endeavour to make our exhibition a success. What do you think?
    A: That is right. I think we should also arrange an appropriate schedule. For instance, we should get there several days earlier to have enough time to settle down and prepare for the trade fair. As is known, travel fatigue, climatic changes, jet lag, foreign food, etc. will all have some adverse effect on us.
    B: I wholly agree with you on that. And we need to book air tickets and reserve accommodations beforehand. As we all know, the accommodations will be difficult and more expensive due to the fair.
    A: Yes. Therefore, I think we need to contact a travel agency for it can offer a variety of choices and discounts to us, which will save us time to be better prepared for the trade fair.
    B: That’s just what I am thinking. Then, we must warn every member of the group of cultural differences, which may cause misunderstandings, so they should learn more about French culture before they go.
    A: Can you give some examples about the things the participants should do?
    B: Sure. For example, basic business customs that our participants should bear in mind include shaking hands with everyone present, inviting your customers to a lunch rather than a dinner, avoiding talking about business over the main course, etc.
    A: I can’t agree with you more. What do you think about us inviting some French people to give lectures and helping the participants know more about French culture?
    B: That’s great. I’ll make sure that our ideas known to the directors. Nice talking with you.
