This can be disheartening, but as an MBA, you know that perception(洞察力)is more important than reality. The key to getting hired is an employers perception of you. Many MBA graduates are guilty of unconsciously displaying signs that they are not the best fit for the job. Once you discover what these common mistakes are, you can put your MBA skills to use and strategize how to turn things in your favor and land the job youve been looking for.Employers feel more comfortable hiring MBAs with experience because there is less need for training. Many MBAs mistakenly apply for jobs they are obviously not qualified for or which require more experience than they have, leaving them scratching their heads at why theyre not getting interviews. Recruiters want MBAs who can prove their ability to increase revenues, decrease costs, and help their business succeed in some way. Show that you can help the company by providing concrete examples of relevant experience.MBAs often have great resumes showing all the right qualifications, but then blow the interview with inappropriate behavior, such as a lack of professional appearance, poor hygiene, or even a bad attitude. Its necessary to be on your best behavior, dress appropriately, and not seem cocky, bored, or disinterested in the company. A little enthusiasm wont hurt you, especially when it comes to a potential new job. Every business wants to put their most enthusiastic MBAs forward with important clients and customers, so be sure to show your passion for your work.Another mistake you may be making unknowingly is how you portray yourself on social media. As an MBA, you know how important networking is, and these days, most of it is done online. Dont assume that employers arent interested in your online profiles. Many employers now use social networking sites and online searches to check up on potential hires. Inappropriate photos and information, such as annoying material or implications of drinking and drug use are huge red flags to employers. Even discriminatory comments related to race, gender, or religion will leave employers with a bad impression. Make sure to remove any photos, content, or links that can work against you in an employers eyes.Dont forget that practice makes perfect when it comes to finding a great MBA job. Earning your MBA was a huge accomplishment, but theres always room for improvement. Ask your classmates, peers, family, and even past co-workers or managers for feedback. Show multiple, trusted resources the job posting youre interested in, your cover letter and resume. Take constructive criticism on how it can be better. Do mock interviews to help relieve any tension and gain a better idea of how youd like to present yourself. With a few minor changes to your resume and the way you interact with others, youll be hearing “youre hired” in no time!TitleWhy MBA graduates arenot getting hired(71) Commonly-madeMany of you MBA graduates unconsciously display unfavorable signs, and (72)to bring out the best in yourselves.While (73)for jobs, you do not take your qualifications and experience into consideration.You (74)inappropriately, thus losing a good opportunity to have an interview.You make the (75)that employers know nothing about your online profiles.Possible solutionsYou should make full use of your skills to take a turn for the (76).Try to show your (77)to help the company, providing concrete examples of relevant experience.Be well-behaved, and (78)to please the company.Remove from the Internet your inappropriate photos, information, and discriminatory comments that may (79)your employers unfavorably.ConclusionYou are bound to (80)in job hunting if you keep in mind that practice makes perfect and there is always room for improvement.【参考答案】71. mistakes72. fail73. applying74. behave75. assumption 76. better77. ability/capacity/qualifications78. enthusiastic/passionate 79. impress80. succeed阅读理解。On May 23, 1989, Stefania Follini came out from a cave at Carlsbad, New Mexico.

Recent research indicates that the mobile phone is changing not only our culture, but our very bodies as well.First, lets talk about culture. The difference between the mobile phone and its parent, the fixed-line phone, is that a mobile number corresponds to a person, while a landline goes to a place. If you call my mobile, you get me. If you call my fixed-line phone, you get whoever answers it.This has several implications（含义）. The most common one, however, and perhaps the thing that has changed our culture forever, is the “meeting” influence. People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet. Twenty years ago, a Friday night would need to be arranged in advance. You needed enough time to allow everyone to get from their place of work to the first meeting place. Now, however, a night out can be arranged on the run. It is no longer “see you there at 8”,but “text me around 8 and well see where we all are.”Texting changes people as well. In their paper, “Insights into the Social and Psychological Effects of SMS (Short Message Service) Text Messaging, two British researchers distinguished between two types of mobile phone users: the “talkers” and the “texters”those who prefer voice to text messages and those who prefer text to voice.They found that the mobile phones individuality and privacy gave texters the ability to express a whole new outer personality. Texters were likely to report that their family would be surprised if they were to read their texts. This suggests that texting allowed texters to present a self-image that differed from the one familiar to those who knew them well.Another scientist wrote of the changes that mobiles have brought to body language. There are two kinds that people use while speaking on the phone. There is the “speakeasy”: the head is held high, in a self-confident way, chatting away. And there is the “spacemaker”: these people focus on themselves and keep out other people.Who can blame them? Phone meetings get cancelled or reformed and camera- phones intrude（侵入）on peoples privacy. So, it is understandable if your mobile makes you nervous. But perhaps you neednt worry so much. After all, it is good to talk.41. The “meeting” influence of a mobile phone refers to the fact that _.A. people can arrange their meeting place and time more flexiblyB. people have to make a firm plan about when and where to meetC. people are able to meet someone at any place and any timeD. people have to attend phone meetings than ever before42. According to the two British researchers, the Social and Psychological Effects are most likely to be seen on _.A. talkersB. the “speakeasy”C. the “spacemaker” D. texters43.Wecaninferfromthepassagethatthetextssentbytextersare_.A. showing or making knownB.wellwrittenC.unacceptablebyothersD.shockingtoothers44. According to the passage, who is afraid of being heard while talking on the mobile?A. talkersB. the “speakeasy”C. the “spacemaker” D. texters45. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?A. The Influence of Short Message ServiceB. Changes Caused by Mobile Phone UseC. Changes in the Use of the MobileD. Body Language and the Mobile Phone41. A 从第三段People no longer need to make firm plans about when and where to meet.可知。42. D 从第四五段可知43. A 从第五段可知。44. C 从第六段最后一句可知45. B 从第一段可知阅读理解。Going green seems to be a fad(时尚) for a lot of people these days.Whether that is good or bad, we cant really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.On April 22，2020, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year.This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things.Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started.My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment.We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyles.We now shop at organic(有机的) stores.We consume less meat, choosing green food.We have greatly reduced our buying we dont need.We have given away half of what we owned through websites.Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners.We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of homemade fresh bread.In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year.We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others.We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.60What might be the best title for the passage?AGoing GreenBProtecting the PlanetCKeeping OpenMindedDCelebrating Our Green Year61It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because _Athey were expected to follow the green fadBthey didnt know how to educate other peopleCthey were unwilling to reduce their energyDthey needed to perform unusual green tasks62What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year?AThey tried to get out of their ungreen habits.BThey ignored others ungreen behavior.CThey chose better chemical cleaners.DThey sold their homemade food.63What can we infer from the last paragraph?AThe government will give support to the green project.BThe couple may continue their project in the future.CSome people disagree with the couples green ideas.DOur Green Year is becoming a national campaign.【要点综述】 本文是记叙文，主要讲一对夫妇在一年时间里做不同支持环保的事情，保护环境和地球。60A主旨大意题。文章第一段提出本文主题“对我们来说，支持环保 (Going green)不是时尚而是生活方式”，所以选A。61D细节理解题。第二段第二句“这意味着做365件不同的环保事情”，说明他们困难的原因是需要做不同的环保任务，所以选D。62A推理判断题。根据倒数第二段第一句“我们完全改变了生活习惯”及倒数第二段剩下的内容可知选A。63B推理判断题。根据最后一段中描述“我们思想已经在改变，我们相信我们的确有能力改变，帮助这个星球”，说明这对夫妇将来还会继续他们的计划。阅读理解。Sparrow is a fastfood chain with 200 restaurants. Some years ago, the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company. Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining, the chain was generally in an unhealthy state. With more and more fastfood concepts reaching the market, the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention. And to make matters worse, its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.Sparrow failed to grow for another two years, until a new CEO, Carl Pearson, decided to build up its market share. He did a survey, which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain, while customers of other fastfood chains were unwilling to turn away from them. Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand. The chains owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcys restaurants. Pearson resisted, arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun. Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time. Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success, rather than customers spending power. Finally, the owner accepted his idea.The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fastfood industry. The TV ads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars. Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product, the intension was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image. For example, he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover (营业额)These efforts paid off, and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fastfood chains in the regions where it operated.71Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?A. The number of its customers was declining.B. Its customers found the food unhealthy.C. It was in need of financial support.D. Most of its restaurants were closed.72What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?ACustomer
