What will it take to 1. that person to hire you? For example, I have a Masters degree in 2. . However, having all of this knowledge in my field does not 3. help. Some 4. managers prefer other things. They want you to possess more 5. qualifications. They term these 6. Emotional Intelligence. In my view, this just a 7. to disguise another fact. They are hiding the fact 8. unfair practices are involved. The person who makes the 9. call on the candidates selection is not basing his decision on your skills. That is, he is not choosing you based on your abilities, 10. , whether he likes you or not. If he actually 11. this, others would get angry. It would be considered an illegal hiring 12. . Candidates with far less experience and only an undergraduate degree have 13. me out for jobs. This is because I apparently am too 14. . That really means the hiring manager didnt like my 15. as much as the other guys. This practice is ridiculous.

To suggest that psychologists and educators might be able to 1. a persons worth based on a couple of tests is silly. It is simply 2. to try the impossible task. One is that we havent even begun to 3. the surface of our learning when it comes to the brain. Setting up tests to tell how far a person gets in life is irresponsible 4. our lack of knowledge. Those who measure Emotional Intelligence are attempting to determine how well a person can 5. to particular changes. The questions have been designed according to their own understanding, and biases (偏差) are inevitable. The world is far too vast to ever 6. for even a fraction of the possibilities. Truly, to believe that the questions for such a test could be made to be 7. , not influenced by ones culture and educational background, is simply wrong. Tests that are not objective have a real 8. for harm. It is really doubtful that we should rely heavily upon test results from a series of questions which are 9. in nature. Testing a persons ability to solve 10. math problems is a good thing. However, thinking that we can score a persons EQ is wrong.o my profession. I have learned the most 17. techniques.

That compulsion (强制) has resulted in attempts to make robots, machines with human capabilities. And if scientists have yet to create the mechanical version of science fiction, they have begun to come close. As a result, the modern world is increasingly full of intelligent gizmos whose presence we barely notice but whose universal existence has removed much human labor. Our factories hum (忙碌) to the rhythm of robot assembly arms. Our banking is done at automated teller terminals that thank us with mechanical politeness for the transaction. Our subway trains are controlled by tireless robot drivers. And thanks to the continual miniaturization (小型化) of electronics and micro-mechanics, there are already robot systems that can perform some kinds of brain and bone surgery with perfect accuracyfar greater precision than highly skilled physicians can achieve with their hands alone. But if robots are to reach the next stage of laborsaving utility, they will have to operate with less human supervision and be able to make at least a few decisions for themselves-goals that pose a real challenge. While we know how to tell a robot to handle a specific error, says Dave Lavery, manager of a program at NASA, we cant yet give a robot enough common sense to reliably interact with a dynamic world. Indeed the quest for true artificial intelligence has produced very mixed results. Despite a spell of initial optimism in the 1960s and 1970s when it appeared that transistor (晶体管) circuits might be able to copy the action of the human brain by the year 2010, researchers lately have begun to extend that forecast by decades if not centuries. 1.Human ingenuity was initially demonstrated in _.A. the use of machines to produce science fictionB. the wide use of machines in manufacturing industryC. the invention of tools for difficult and dangerous workD. the clever tackling of dangerous and boring work2.The word gizmos (paragraph 2) most probably means _.A. programsB. expertsC. devicesD. creatures3.According to the text, what is beyond mans ability now is to design a robot that can _.A. fulfill delicate tasks like performing brain surgeryB. interact with human beings orallyC. have a little common senseD. respond independently to a changing world4.What does the author think?A. Robots will always require supervision.B. People have both successes and failures with robots.C. The making of robots will always meet mixed successes.D. Robots and people should never be mixed.5.What made people optimistic about robots?A. Transistor circuits.B. The 60s and 70s.C. Researchers.D. The human brain.Questions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog.Could the bad old days of economic decline be about to return? Since OPEC agreed to supply-cuts in March, the price of crude oil has jumped to almost $26 a barrel, up from less than $10 last December. This near-tripling (几乎三倍) of oil prices calls up scary memories of the 1973 oil shock, when prices quadrupled (四倍的), and 1979-1980, when they also almost tripled. Both previous shocks resulted in double-digit inflation and global economic decline. So where are the headlines warning of gloom (沮丧) and doom (厄运) this time? Yet there are good reasons to expect the economic consequences now to be less severe than in the 1970s. Rich economies are less dependent on oil than they were, and so less sensitive to swings in the oil price. Energy conservation, a shift to other fuels and a decline in the importance of heavy, energy-intensive industries have reduced oil consumption. Software, consultancy and mobile telephones use far less oil than steel or car production. For each dollar of GDP (in constant prices) rich economies now use nearly 50% less oil than in 1973. The OECD estimates in i
