8.The interview had been going on for about 20minutes and everything seems to be going well.Then,suddenly,the interviewer asks an unexpected question,"Which is more important,law or Dove?"
Job applicants in the West increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this.And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.
Employers want people skilled,enthusiastic and devoted.So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicants will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are.In response,employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant's true personality.
The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Keirsey Personality Sorter.It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems,rather than what they know.This is often called an aptitude test (能力傾向測驗).
According to Mark Baldwin,many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult.When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test,he or she will think there is a right answer and they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see.
This is sometimes called the prisoner's dilemma.Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest.But they fail because they don't understand what the interviewer is looking for.Remember that in an aptitude test,the correct answer is always the honest answer.
28.The writer wrote the passage toA.
A.give you a piece of advice on a job interview
B.tell you how to meet a job interviewer
C.describe the aptitude test    
D.a(chǎn)dvise you how to find a job
29.Why do the interviewers ask such questions?C
A.They want to discover what the interviewees know.
B.They are curious about the answers.
C.They try to discover the ability of the interviewees solving problems.
D.They just ask questions without thinking much.
30.According to the writer,in an aptitude test,Chinese job applicants shouldB.
A.not tell the truth        
B.learn to tell what they really think
C.be more enthusiastic
D.try to find out what the examiner really want to know
31.From the passage we know thatD.
A.job applicants are always asked such questions
B.more Chinese applicants fail to find a job
C.a(chǎn)pplicants should not act as reasonably as a prisoner
D.the aptitude test is becoming popular worldwide.

18.When I was about twelve,I headed to a restaurant for dinner with my family.It was winter,and on that particular night,the wind was really blowing.As my mom and I headed towards the restaurant from our car,a girl about my age and her mother came up to us.They asked if we had any spare change.My mom immediately asked where they kept their things.They pointed to an old car in a parking across the street.The girl said there were six of them living in that car,which was the same size as my own family.
My mom said she had something to do after handing the people a few dollars.She sent me inside the restaurant with my dad and my three siblings(兄弟姐妹).But she didn't come.
Later,I found out she had gone home and practically emptied our cupboards into a few bags.Then,she brought that food over to the car and handed the bags to the family.I wasn't there when that part happened,but I can only imagine the joy it brought to their faces.
A few days later,when I actually found out about what she had done,I asked her why she helped those people.She told me that they were not lucky.I remember the face of that girl who had asked us for change; she was the same age as me,yet we looked so different.
Here I stood,dressed in almost new clothes,headed to dine in a restaurant and then back home to the bedroom I shared with my younger sister.I remember thinking that the girl didn't have any food to eat and that she was heading back to a cold car shared with five other people.After painting this picture in my mind,I understood why my mom had done what she did.I will never forget what she did that night,and how she taught me one of the best lessons I ever learned.

19.Some people believe that international sports creates goodwill between the nations and that if countries play games together they will learn to live together.Others argue that international contests encourage false national pride and lead to misunderstanding and hatred.There is probably some truth in both opinions,but in recent years the Olympic Games have done little to support the view that sports encourage international brotherhood.Not only was there the tragic incident involving the murder of athletes,but the Games were also ruined by some unfortunate incidents happening in minor national contests.
One country received its silver medals with great anger after the hockey final.There had been noisy scenes at the end of the hockey match since the loser refuse the final decisions.They were convinced that one of their goals should not have been disallowed and that their opponents'victory was unfair.Their manager was in a rage when he said:"This wasn't hockey.Hockey and the international Hockey Federation are finished."The president of the Federation said later that behavior could result in the suspension of the team for at least three years.
The American basketball team announced that they would not yield first place to Russia,after a doubtful end to their contest.The game had ended in disturbance.It was thought at first that the United States had won,by a single point,but it was announced that there were three seconds still to play.A Russian player then threw the ball from one end of the court to the other,and another player popped it into the basket.It was the first time that the USA had ever lost an Olympic basketball match.An appeal jury(申訴仲裁) debated the matter for four and a half hours before announcing the result would stand.The American players then voted not to receive the silver medals.
Incidents of this kind will continue as long as sport is played competitively rather than for the love of the game.The suggestion that athletes should compete as individuals,or in non-national terms,might be too much to hope for.But in the present organization of the Olympics there is far too much that encourages aggressive patriotism(愛國).

32.According to the author,recent Olympic Games haveC.
A.created goodwill between the nations
B.brought only false national pride
C.hardly showed any international friendship
D.led to more and more misunderstanding and hatred
33.What did the manager mean by saying,"Hockey and the International Hockey Federation are finished"?B
A.His team would no longer take part in international games.
B.Hockey and the Federation are both ruined by the unfair decisions
C.There should be no more hockey matches organized by the Federation
D.The Federation should be canceled
34.The basketball example suggested thatA.
A.too much patriotism was shown in the incident
B.the announcement to restart the match for three more seconds was wrong
C.the appeal jury was too bad at making the decision
D.the American team deserved to get the silver medals.
35.What conclusion can be drawn from the passage?A
A.The organization of the Olympic Games must be improved.
B.Athletes should compete as individuals in the Olympic Games.
C.Sports should be played competitively rather than for the love of the game.
D.International contests are unfair for misunderstanding between nations.
