You can teach someone to be c

24、ompetent in the skills you need, but you cant teach someone to have an appealing personality. No matter what the person talks about for thirty minutes-really, much fewer than thirty-you can figure out if you like them. 1. Learn how to conduct an interview. You need to understand what is driving the

25、interviewer and how he or she is thinking. So know enough about the interview process to put yourself in your counterparts shoes. If the person is bad at interviewing, you can run the show. If the person is good, you have to figure out how to meet their agenda, make your points, and still be likeabl

26、e. 2. Learn from other peoples mistakes. The best way to see people making errors in interviews is to interview them yourself. But you can also read about other peoples interviewing incompetence. J shows how candidates misread a seemingly innocuous question. And CareerB lists some examples of extrem

27、ely bad judgment. 3. Know your agenda. What is the image you are trying to convey in the interview? Match that to the kind of job you are trying to land. You should have three points about yourself that you aim to get across in the interview. Before I became a full-time writer, mine were: great at e

28、xecuting a plan, a manager who everyone loves to work for, very reliable. I wanted those points to come across because I wanted to be hired to a position where I would have a lot of responsibility to execute a visionary plan and manage a large team. 4. Practise. You can find lots of lists about how

29、to interview well. Take a look at them and youll notice that they are all about practising: Avoid too much information, cut the puffy stuff, know your strengths and weaknesses. These are all things you can practise. If you think you can wing it in an interview, youre wrong. There are no questions th

30、at cannot benefit from preparation, so any question you look unprepared for makes you look clueless about the interview process at best and lazy at worst. 5. Be comfortable with silence. People who can remain calm during silence look powerful and comfortable with themselves. People who have to fill

31、silence end up saying stupid things. Part of your interview practice should be to sit, saying nothing, so you are comfortable when that happens in an interview. 1. It is essential in an interviewA.to figure out whether you like the person or not.B.to teach the person needed skills.C.to teach the per

32、son to have a lovable personality.答案:A题干意为：面试的关键要素是什么?A项意为：确定你是否喜欢这个人，B项意为：教给这个人需要的技能，C教这个人如何有吸引人的个性。文章开篇提到：“在你面试某人的时候，最重要的是确定自己是否喜欢这个人”，由此可知A项正确；并说明原因：“你可以教会一个人你所需要的技能，但是你不能教一个人如何拥有吸引人的个性。”由此可知B、C两项错误，故答案为A。2. When learning how to conduct an interview, it is importantA.one should learn how to be li

33、keable during the process.B.an interviewee should know the process of an interview.C.the person needs to figure out how to control the pace of the interview.答案:B题干意为：对学习如何面试来说，重要的是什么?A项意为：学会如何在面试过程中让他人喜欢你，B项意为：被面试者要知道面试的过程，C项意为：学会如何控制面试的步调。文中第三段提到：“你要知道面试的程序以便从对方的角度思考”，由此可知学会面试意味着知道面试的过程是怎么开展的，B项与此一

34、致，所以正确；原文接着指出：“如果这个人不擅长面试，则可由你控制局面。如果对方做得还不错，你就需要判断怎样做符合其需要、表明你的观点、且不让人反感”，由此可知，只有在对方不擅长面试的时候，你才有可能控制面试的局面、步调，故C项片面，不正确；而A项是对文中这句话的断章取义，所以也不正确，故答案为B。3. What is the function served by CareerB?A.to help you accumulate experience in interviewB.to show you bad interview examplesC.to offer lists of innoc

35、uous questions答案:A题干意为：CareerB网站的功能是什么?A项意为：能帮助你积累面试方面的经验，B项意为：给你提供失败面试的例子，C项意为：给你提供无关紧要的面试问题的清单。原文第五段第二行提到：“J给你展示应试者如何误解看似无关痛痒的面试问题。CareerB给你提供严重的错误判断的例子。”根据文意可知CareerB的例子是关于应试者严重的错误判断看似无关痛痒的面试问题的。C项与此不符，故错误；B项虽然提到例子，但是面试失败的例子和错误判断问题的例子不是同一概念，所以B项也错误；而通过所提网站提供的例子，应试者可以了解如何避免误解问题并积累相关经验，A项与此吻合，故答案为A

36、。4. Which is Not correct concerning the authors three points mentioned in the article?A.They are mentioned to explain how you can project a favorable image in an interview.B.He expressed these points when he managed a large group of people.C.He used these points to help with his interview.答案:B题干意为：文

37、中关于作者的三个要点的叙述哪一个不正确?A项意为：提及此三点的目的是为了说明你怎样在面试中留下好印象，B项意为：他在管理一大组员工时表述了这三点，C项意为：这三点曾帮他应对面试。原文第七段第一行提到：“面试者需要使自己在面试中表现出来的形象与想要获得的工作相匹配，他们需要在面试中传达三个要点。”随后作者提到自己的例子，这些都是用来说明面试者可以通过阐明三个要点的方式在面试中留下与所聘职位相匹配的好印象。故A项正确。由作者自己的例子可知，他是在应聘管理一个大的团队的时候表述他的三个要点的，所以C项正确，而B项与此有出入，不正确，故答案为B。5. What is the authors view

38、on practice?A.All that need to be practised can be found on lists about how to interview well.B.It is not necessary to practise everything.C.The more questions are prepared, the better.答案:C题干意为：作者对练习的看法是什么?A项意为：所有需要练习的内容都可以在介绍怎样做好面试的名单里找到，B项意为：没有必要什么都练习，C项意为：准备的问题越多越好。原文第九段第三行提到：“介绍进行面试方法的列表里有很多内容是可

39、以练习的，但是如果你认为练习了这些就能够驾驭面试，那你就错了。”由此可知，A项提到的内容不全面，故不正确。文中接着提到：“没有任何问题是你经过练习后不能从中有所收获的，任何你看到而没有去准备的问题会让你在面试时看起来不知所云或懒散。”由此可知作者的观点是：在面试前准备的问题越多越有利，故C项正确；而B项的内容在文中没有明确说明，故不选，故答案为C。6. Why is it useful to practise sitting without saying anything?A.It helps you fill silence.B.It helps you be comfortable wit

40、h silence.C.It prevents silence in interview.答案:B题干意为：为什么练习静坐不说话会有益处?A项意为：能帮你填补无人说话的空缺，B项意为：帮你在无人说话时不感到局促，C项意为：能防止面试出现沉默的局面。文中提到在无人说话时不得不填补空缺而讲话的人通常最后会说些傻话，因此需要练习静坐、不说话来让自己适应无人说话的情形。因此，A项不正确，B项与文意相符，而C项内容文中没有提及，故答案为B。PART SIX This years Corporate Travel exhibition will take place on 13 and 14 Octobe
