It was also clearly stated that applicants needed to take an aptitude test (能力倾向测试) and an interview. However, looking at the whole advertisement, one could not find any contact information of the pany. Most interested applicants thought that it was the panys HR departments carelessness or a printing error. They therefore waited patiently for the newspaper to publish an amendment. But instead of waiting for the newspaper to publish the pany details, another three applicants took the initiative(主动权) to find out the panys contact information themselves. Tim did a search on the Internet. By typing the panys name, he easily obtained all the information including its contact number. Lisa called up the local telephone number search service and found out the panys office number. She called up the office and got the required contact information. Donna put in a greater effort in her search. She remembered seeing a poster by the same pany in the city so she drove all the way down and made a few rounds to search for it. She finally found it together with the panys contact information. Three days after that advertisement was published in the newspaper, most interested applicants were still waiting eagerly for an amendment. On the other hand, the application letters and resumes of Tim, Lisa and Donna had already reached the hands of the panys HR manager. They were then called up for an interview. During the interview, all went well and immediately they were hired. The three of them were a little surprised at how fast things went on. They were expecting for an aptitude test as stated in the advertisement. The HR director answered them, smiling, “Our test is hidden in the advertisement itself. To be a good salesperson in this age, he or she has to be broad-minded and very importantly, does not follow rigid (死板的) steps or rules. You are all clever and agile. In a short time, youve managed to find ways of contacting us. It shows clearly that you have passed the test with flying colors!” The fools sit around waiting for their chances whereas the wise actively take actions with great initiative.5. According to the passage the pany wanted to test the applicants _. A. sales skills B. carefulnessC. attitudeD. initiative6. Whose search skill is the easiest of all?A. Tims. B. Lisas.C. Donnas. D.

The HR manager of the pany was unfit for his / her job.D. A printing error occurred in the advertisement in the newspaper.8. The writer wants to tell us through this passage that _.A. no contact information seen in an advertisement might not be the panys mistakeB. applicants should be careful not to be fooled by the panys advertisementC. opportunity always belongs to whoever is active and broad-mindedD. there are many successful chances to be found in this ageCTobacco is the second major cause of death in the world. It is responsible for the death of one in ten adults worldwide (about 5 million deaths each year). If current smoking patterns continue, it will cause some 10 million deaths each year by xx. Half the people that smoke today, which is about 650 million people, will eventually be killed by tobacco. Tobacco is the fourth most mon risk factor for disease worldwide. The economic costs of tobacco use are equally devastating (破坏性的). In addition to the high public health costs of treating tobacco-caused diseases, tobacco kills people at the height of their productivity, depriving (剥夺) families of breadwinners and nations of a healthy workforce. Tobacco users are also less productive while they are alive due to increased sickness. A 1994 report estimated that the use of tobacco resulted in an annual global net loss of 200 thousand million US dollars, a third of this loss being in developing countries. Tobacco and poverty are closely linked. Many studies have shown that in the poorest households in some low-ine countries as much as 10% of total household expenditure is on tobacco. This means that these families have less money to spend on basic items such as food, education and health care. It contributes to a higher illiteracy rate, since money that could have been used for education is spent on tobacco instead. 9. According to the passage, tobacco affects a family in the following aspects EXCEPT _.A. relationshipB. education C. healthD. economy10. The text uses a lot of figures to _.A. show we shouldnt smoke too muchB. tell people exactly the numberC. warn people of the harm of smokingD. indicate the writer had a careful investigation11.
