37、on greatly raised the standard of living for the 【B2】 man.

41、iculties they experienced when were trying to 【B1】 themselves to the new medium were technical. When working on radio, for example, they had become 【B2】 to seeing on behalf of the listener. This 【B3】 of seeing for others means that the commentator has to be very good at talking. Above all, he has to

42、 be able to 【B4】 a continuous sequence of visual images which 【B5】 meaning to the sounds which the listener hears. In the 【B6】 of television, however, the commentator sees everything with the viewer. His role, therefore, is completely different. He is there to make 【B7】 that the viewer does not miss

43、 some point of interest, to help him focus on particular things, and to 【B8】 the images on the television screen.

45、sRecruiting(招募)the right candidate to fill a vacancy can be a difficult and costly task. 【31】 the wrong person could be an expensive mistake which could cause personnel problems for the whole department.

46、 than it is to 【32】 them. The HR managers first decision is 【33】 to recruit internal applicants or advertise the vacancy outside the company. 【34】 applicants are easy to recruit by memo, e-mail, or newsletter. Furthermore, they are easy to assess and know the company well. 【35】 , they rarely bring f

47、resh ideas to a position. Moreover, a rejected internal candidate might become unhappy and leave the company.

48、 place the 【37】 . Traditionally this has meant newspapers and professional journals but now the Internet is also very popular. The decision normally depends on the vacancy. Companies advertise blue-collar or clerical jobs in local newspapers and senior management 【38】 in national papers or professio

49、nal journals, 【39】 the Internet is one of the best ways of advertising IT vacancies or recruiting abroad. However, with the Internet there is a risk 【40】 receiving unsuitable applications from all over the world. （分数：-1.00）A.FindingB.SearchingC.PlacingD.AppointingA.fireB.applyC.dismissD.employA.whetherB.ifC.whichD.whereA.TerminalB.ExternalC.AdditionalD.InternalA.BesidesB.HoweverC.WhileD.WhereasA.useB.usingC.usedD.to useA.agencyB.jobC.advertisementD.companyA.positionsB.placesC.roomsD.seatsA.whenB.asC.whileD.onceA.atB.ofC.overD.inSome pe
