Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A) When having an interview, its not just words you have to think about, but also how you express them. Avoid a flat monotone(单调的) voice that people sometimes get when they are nervous. And it can add so much if you show your excitement and your eagerness to work for that company, and that is where past performance will indicate future performance. So good interviewers will ask you very detailed questions where theyll put you on the spot and theyll want to know specifically your role in what you did for a particular project. And so the key to giving a good answer to a behavioral interview question is to do what I call a STAR, S-T-A-R. The S and T stand for explaining a situation or a task that you were given, the A is the action you took and the R is the results. In addition, you need to be prepared before you walk in the door. Go through some mock interviews, if you can have friends ask you questions. Practice in the mirror, answering questions. Go in with three or four things you really want to stress about yourself. And then you can bring those out no matter what question is asked. To follow up after the interview, you can send a thank-you letter. And you can do it by e-mail. In that thank-you letter you do a couple of things. You make sure that you show sincere appreciation for the time that they spent interviewing you. You have another chance to make that case as to how your skills match their needs. 65. What should you think about when having an interview? A. How to express what you want to say. B. How to use a flat monotone voice. C. How to ask very detailed questions. D. How to hide your excitement and eagerness.66. To give a good answer to a behavioral interview question you neednt explain _. A. the action you took B. the results you got C. your eagerness to carry out the project D. a situation or a task that you were given67. Whats the main purpose of this passage? A. To give suggestions on having an interview. B. To introduce some keys to being a successful interviewer. C. To encourage people to send a thank-letter before interview. D. To advise people to ask friends some questions before interview.(B) Dear Lee, As I told you, Ill be gone until Wednesday morning. Thank you so much for taking care of my “children” while Im away. Like real children, they can be kind of annoying sometimes, but Im going to enjoy myself so much more knowing theyre getting some kind human attention. Remember that Regina (the “queen” in Latin, and she acts like one) is teething. If you dont watch her, shell chew anything, like the sofa, chairs, including her “sister”, the cat. There are plenty of chew toys around the house. Whenever she starts biting on anything illegal, just divert her with one of those. She generally settles right down to a good hour-long chew. Then youll see her wandering around whimpering(低吠) with the remains of the toy in her mouth. She gets really frustrated because what she wants is to bury the thing. Shell try to dig a hole between the cushions of the couch. Finding that unsatisfactory, shell wander some more, discontent, until you solve her problem for her. I usually show her the laundry basket, moving a few clothes so she can bury her toy beneath them. I do sound like a parent, dont I? You have to understand, my own son is practically grown up. Reginas food is the Puppy Chow in the same room, where the other pet food is stored. Give her a bowl once in the morning and once in the evening. No more than that, no matter how much she begs. Regina likes to eat bones best and she is likely to be an overeater, but I dont want her to lose her girlish figure. She can share water with Rex (the King), but be sure its changed daily. She needs to go out several times a day, especially last thing at night and first thing in the morning. Let her stay out for about ten minutes each time, so she can do all her business. She also needs a walk in the afternoon, after which its important to romp with her for a while in the yard. The game she loves most is fetch, but be sure to make her drop the ball. Shed rather play tug of war with it. Tell her, “Sit!” Then, when she does, say, “Drop it!” Be sure to tell her “good girl,” and then throw the ball for her, I hope youll enjoy these sessions as much as I do.Now, for the other two, Rex and Paws(letter continues) Yours, Linda68. Linda uses the word children to describe her pets because _. A. she believes her pets possess childlike qualitiesB. the pets have taken the place of her childrenC. she dresses them in childrens clothing D. the pets all have a lovely girlish figure 69. If the pet sitter doesnt supervise her, _.A. Regina will play with the cat B. Regina will spend an hour wandering C. Regina will solve her problem herselfD. Regina will damage her owners furniture70. The pet sitter is advised to tell Regina “good girl” _. A. after Regina finds the ball B. after Regina drops the ballC. when Regina brings the ball back D.
