If you are 25 to make them see something as you see it, tell them that youll listen to what they have to say, but ask them 26 to listen to you.

For American Idol competitors, the judges and voting (投票的) public are the audience; for job hunters, its the hiring manager. Just as talented American Idol competitors lack confidence when singing the wrong song, job hunters can fail to be chosen when they fail to present their skills according to the employers needs. “Difference” is how Mr. Turner describes the way American Idol competitors stand out among singers who may be equally good.In the real world, the right skills, education and experience still make ones ability different or memorable. But its important for the job hunter to present “something special” that he or she has to offer. A recent survey suggests that managers often sense whether theyll hire someone within minutes after the first handshake. Just as an Idol competitor prepares for performances, a job hunter should prepare carefully to make the first good impression. Job hunters also can learn from past American Idol winners who proved an ability to recover from setbacks. If they can take feedback (反馈), make improvements and make sure theyre better prepared the next go-round, that will pay off eventually.36. The purpose of the passage is _.A. to persuade readers to take part in American IdolB. to praise the winners of American IdolC. to advertise for American Idol D. to tell job hunters what they can learn from American Idol37. It can be inferred from the passage that _.A. if a job hunter fails to be chosen for one job, he or she will never succeedB. job hunters should distinguish themselves from other applicants when interviewingC. the skills, education and experience are the keys to your successD. an American Idol competitor is never the same as a job hunter 38. The underlined word “setbacks” in the last paragraph means _. A. failures B. successesC. performances D. advantages39. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?A. The reason that you are planning to change your job.B. The best singer may not win on American Idol.C. An employer may have the opinion on a job hunter within minutes.D. How an American Idol competitor can stand out among singers.BIt happened to be a beautiful summer afternoon, and Mr. Phillip was taking a walk in the downtown area of Paris, capital of France.When he turned to a street corner, he heard the voice of a lovely French singer coming from a nearby restaurant. The sweet music attracted him, so he went into the restaurant to hear it better. Mr. Phillip sat down quietly at a table near the door. Noticing the waiter come over, he ordered a glass of French wine.The waiter returned with the glass of wine and put it on the table. Mr. Phillip started drinking the wine slowly and watching other people in the restaurant. There were three customers sitting at a table near him. He could tell by their accents that one of them was an American, one an Englishman and the third man was a funny-looking stranger. The polite waiter served each of the three men a glass of beer. By chance, each glass had a fly in it.Out of curiosity, Mr. Phillip watched carefully what they were going to do. To his amusement, he found that each of them took a quite different attitude. The American picked up his glass, took a hard look at the fly, and then poured the fly and half of his beer on the floor. The Englishman looked into the glass, noticed the fly and reached for a spoon, with which he took the fly out of the beer and drank the rest of it. And the stranger noticed the fly in the beer, picked it with his fingers, squeezed (挤压) it carefully in order to save every drop of beer, then drank it up.40. Mr. Phillip went into the restaurant to _.A. have something to eat after the walkB. wait for a friend thereC. meet his three friends thereD. enjoy the pleasant music41.The restaurant where Mr. Phillip had a drink must be _.A. a first-class oneB. a rather dirty placeC. expensive and comfortableD. a place where only beer was served42.

In personDBrian and Martha were classmates in their high school. While Brian was considered the most popular student because of his friendliness, Martha was not popular but she was a very smart student with high hopes for her future. Years later, Martha is a lawyer ; however, she still has a problem with forming relationships. Though she is professionally sound, yet not many of her customers like her and she is still single. On the other hand, Brian is a happy married man and running his own business. He did not go to college but is happy and content with his life and he is welcomed by all the people around him. Martha is intelligent but her lack of EI is a hindrance to her being a popular lawyer while Brian, with an average IQ, is happy and successful in life because of his excellent EI skills.Emotional Intelligence(EI), is a term that describes the ability to recognize, assess and manage ones emotions and appropriately react to others.Hiring the right person with the right skill is of concern for head hunters. Nowadays, the hiring process has become increasingly complicated(复杂的); companies not only focus on the hard skill(e.g., technical skills, work experience and education) but also personality features. Qualities like stress management and assertiveness(果断自信) skills are important factors in success.Ever since the researchers found out that those with high EI are more successful, the importance of EI in the workplace has been accepted. Since the workplace includes groups of people with various ideas and higher EI is necessary to achieve goals. Good management of emotions improves the quality of our decisions. People with high EI are the best performers and have high levels of ability to create good relationships with others and thus are more satisfied at work. Emotionally balanced employees are self-confident, optimistic and good at managing disagreements and stress.Unlike IQ which does not change after our teens, EQ can continue to grow and develop as it is largely a learned skill.48. Which of the following statements about Brian and Martha is true?A. Both are greatly liked by people around him.B. Brian has a higher EI while Martha has a higher IQ.C. Martha has a higher EI while Brian has a higher IQ.D. Brian is single while Martha is happily married.49. Brian and Marthas examples are used to show that_.A. intelligence plays no role in in peoples successB. IQ determines whether you are successful or notC. EI is very important to peoples successD. different people have different abilities50. The underlined word “hindrance” in the first paragraph refers to_.A. something that is very popular B. something that is very stressfulC. something that helps you to achieve your goalD. something that makes it difficult to achieve your goal51. Emotional Intelligence refers to peoples ability to_.A. get respect and love from all people around themB. assess ones mood and say “yes” to people on all occasionsC. pretend to be happy all the time though they dont feel soD. manage their own mood and react appropriately to others.EThere is no point destroying your peace of mind and happiness by taking the wrong job. Society may pressure you into grabbing whatever you can get. If you do not have a set path that must be taken, then you have the opportunity to choose something you will not only be paid for doing, but enjoy.One of the best ways of finding a suitable career is to determine your personality type. It may seem obvious that the creative type does not really find much pleasure in a job as a butcher or dry cleaning assistant, and that a weak character may not find happiness in a career based on teaching or leading a team.To find the best job for your personality type, the first step is to know what and who you really are. If you already know your style, you can search for suitable employment; however, if you are uncertain, there are ways that will help you discover who and what you are. For example, an employment center, career adviser, or online quiz can help you. Taking my own situation for example, I am definitely a creative type. Besides, I prefer to be my own boss or, if I cannot, at least I want to rely on a boss I truly both respect and admire. I do not like telling people what to do, or being told what to do. I do not relate well to regular 9-5 hours. I do not feel satisfied being paid a high wage for a bad job. I feel much more at hom
