11、ing to the candidates application and CV. So candidates need to prepare just as carefully. Here are some useful tips on answering interview questions.

12、. The important thing is talking positively about how you deal with problems at work. Where does your employer think you are today? Be honest.

17、book called The Bosses Speak. For each question (23-28) , choose the correct answer. Mark one letter (A, B or C) on your Answer Sheet. The Bosses Speak Adam Rogers is an executive recruitment specialist who has turned to writing. The result is this book, based on interviews with twenty Chief Executi
18、ves. Each top manager - none of them famous names, surprisingly - is .given a short chapter, and there is some introductory material and a conclusion. This means you can jump from one person to another, in any order, which is good for people who are too busy to read a book from cover to cover. For a
19、 management book it isnt expensive, although whether its good value for money is doubtful. Some of the twenty interviewees started their own businesses, while others joined a company and worked their way up. Some are fairly new in their position, and others have had years of experience, though, stra
20、ngely, Rogers doesnt seem interested in these differences. The interviewees work in everything, from retailing to airlines to software, and it is this variety that forms the main theme of Rogerss book. I have to say that Rogerss approach annoys me. He rarely stays at a distance from his interviewees
21、, who are mostly presented in their own, positive words. If this were always the case, at least you would know where you were. But he seems to dislike certain interviewees. As a result, I dont know whether to accept any of his opinions. It also means that the book gives no clear lessons. At the very
22、 least, I expected to learn what makes a successful Chief Executive. But these people seem to share two types of qualities. Some of them are very common, suggesting that anyone can be equally successful, which is definitely not the ease. And the other qualities are ones which most successful bosses
23、Ive seen definitely do not have. So in the end Im no wiser about what really goes on. Perhaps Im being unfair. As long as you dont think about whether youd like them as friends, and pay no attention to most of the advice they give, the most readable parts are where the bosses describe their route to
24、 their present position. Rogers seems to think that his book would be useful for people aiming for the top, and that it might even make a few want to start their own company; but, in fact, what they could learn here is very limited. Seen as light business reading for a doctor or teacher, though, thi
25、s book would provide some good entertainment. 23 The reviewer suggests that one advantage of the book is that （ A） it is better value than other management books. （ B） it does not need to be read right through. （ C） it is about well-known people. 24 The book concentrates on the fact that the twenty
26、executives who are interviewed （ A） work in a number of different industries. （ B） started their companies. （ C） have worked for different lengths of time. 25 The reviewer cannot accept Rogerss opinions because Rogers （ A） makes unreasonable complaints about the interviewees. （ B） writes too positiv
27、ely about the interviewees. （ C） has different attitudes towards different interviewees. 26 Reading the book made the reviewer think that （ A） there are certain qualities which all Chief Executives need. （ B） it is difficult to discover how people really run a company. （ C） running a company is easi
28、er than many people think. 27 Which parts of the book did the reviewer most enjoy reading? （ A） How the interviewees became Chief Executives. （ B） What sort of people the interviewees are. （ C） The advice given by tile interviewees. 28 The reviewer recommends the book for people who （ A） intend to s
29、et up in business. （ B） want to become senior managers. （ C） are outside the field of business. 六、 PART SIX 28 Head tile newspaper article below about new alliance in the packaging industry.
