unit 2 poems grammar课时作业第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(a、b、c和d)中，选出最佳选项。ado you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness，happiness，goodness，and self respect？the collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor” help you create this life of good feelings. heres an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. if we keep silent and profit from the clerks mistake，we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. on the other hand，if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item，the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. we would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.then，what is it to do with our sense of happiness？in the first case，where we dont tell the clerk，a couple of things would happen. deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. in the process，we would lose some peace of mind and selfrespect. we would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted，since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. we damage our own reputations by telling others. in contrast，bringing the error to the clerks attention causes different things to happen. immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. upon leaving the store，we feel honorable and our self respect is increased. whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.there is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. and its easy to think and act honorably again when were happy. while the positive cycle can be difficult to start，once its started，its easy to continue. keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind，which is important for our happiness.1.according to the

background, special skills and work experience, there is little, if anything, to choose between half a dozen candidates. how then does the employer make a choice？usually on the basis of an interview.there are many arguments for and against the interview as a way of selection. the main argument against it is that it results in a wholly subjective decision. as often as not, employers do not choose the best candidate. they choose the candidate who makes a good first impression on them. some employers, of course, reply to this argument by saying that they have become so experienced in interviewing staff that they are able to make a good assessment of each candidates likely performance. the main argument in favor of the interview is that an employer is concerned not only with a candidates ability, but with his or her suitable personality for the particular work situation. many employers, for example, will overlook occasional mistakes from their secretary if she has a pleasant personality.it is perhaps true to say, therefore, that the real purpose of an interview is not to assess the assessable aspects of each candidate but to make a guess at the things that are hard to measure, such as personality, character and social ability. unfortunately, both for the employers and applicants for jobs, there are many people of great ability who simply do not interview well. there are also, of course, people who interview extremely well, but are later found to be very unsatisfactory employees. candidates who interview well tend to be quietly confident, but never boastful(自夸的), direct and straight forward in their questions and answers; cheerful and friendly, but never over familiar; and sincerely enthusiastic and optimistic. candidates who interview badly tend to be either very shy or overconfident. they either talk too little or never stop talking. they are either over polite or a bit rude.5.people argue over the interview mainly because they have_.a.different purposes in the interviewb.different experiences in interviewsc.different standards of selectiond.different ways of selection答案c解析推理判断题。根据第二段第二句“the main argument against it is that it results in a wholly subjective decision.”及第三段第一句中的“.but to make a guess at the things that are hard to measure, such as personality, character and social ability.”可知，人们对于面试的争论在于他们对于应聘者的选择标准上，故选c。6.the underlined word “subjective” means “based on ones _rather than facts”.a.personalityb.characterc.opiniond.ability答案c解析词义猜测题。根据画线词后两句“as often as not, employers do not choose the best candidate. they choose the candidate who makes a good first impression on them.”可知，雇主们往往靠的是主观观点选人，故选c。7.the purpose of the last paragraph is to indicate_.a.a link between success in interview and personalityb.connections between work abilities and personalityc.differences in interview experienced.differences in personal behavior答案a解析推理判断题。最后一段主要叙述了成功的面试与个性之间的关系，故选a。8.what is the authors attitude towards the interview?a.he thinks it is a good way of selection.b.he doesnt quite agree with it.c.he is neither for nor against it.d.it is not clear.答案b解析观点态度题。纵观全文可知作者不是很同意面试的做法，故选b。cbritish teenagers look to the starswhen their parents were children，they imagined a future standing in front of a class of pupils or
