29、is changed to Department of Human Resources, or HR. HR is such a fashionable title, but few of us really understand it as it is, which refers to the individuals within the firm, and to the portion of the firms organization that deals with hiring, firing, training, and other personnel issues.

30、 hiring part will be the focus of what we talk about here.

31、ortant to consider the factors outside of the corporation that would make a difference about the recruiting, such as current and future trends of the labor market e. g. skills, education level, government investment into industries etc After analyzing the job, it comes to the stage of providing a cl
32、ear and easy-to-understand job description. When it comes to recruiting, several ways could be used, such as job centers, employment agencies/consultants, headhunting, and local or national media. Choosing a suitable media is crucial here, you definitely do not want to advertise your opening positio
33、n on a national media if it is a position of sales manager assistant in a remote county distribution center. Though human resources have been part of business and organizations since the first days of agriculture, the modern concept of human resources began in the early 1900s. By 1920, psychologists
34、 and employment experts in the United States started the human relations movement, which viewed workers in terms of their psychology and fit with companies, rather than as interchangeable parts. Nowadays, more factors are considered when choosing a suitable employee, not only should the candidate ha
35、ve the proper abilities and qualifications, personalities are also evaluated to predict how well the candidate will interact with the others employees.

41、ment. To make meaningful progress, we need to consider one other aspect of change as it is used only by human our thought. In the words of Madame, “The voice of thought is so soft that it is easy to forget about it, but it is also so clear that it is impossible to misunderstand it.“ Just as the educ
42、ation of nerve is most important to the excellent athlete and education of the mind is vital to the scholar, education of the thought is vital to the truly highly effective person. Training and educating the thought, however, requires even greater concentration, more balanced discipline, more consis
43、tently honest living. It requires regular feasting on inspiring literature, thinking noble thoughts and, above all, living in harmony with its still small voice. Just as junk food and lack of exercise can ruin an athletes condition, those things that are not decent, crude, or unhealthy can lead to a
44、n inner darkness and make us wonder “What is right and wrong?“ In the words of Dag Hammarskjold, You cannot play with the animal in you without becoming wholly animal, play with falsehood without losing your right to truth, play with cruelty without losing your sensitivity of mind. He who wants to k
45、eep his garden tidy doesnt reserve a plot for weeds. Once we are self-aware, we must choose purposes and principles to live by; otherwise the hole will be filled, and we will lose our self-awareness and become like groveling animals that live mainly for survival. And there is no easy way in developi
46、ng them. The Law of the Harvest governs; we will always reap what we sow-no more, no less. I believe that as we grow and develop, an increasingly educated thought will push us along the path of personal freedom, security, wisdom, and power. Moving upward requires us to learn, commit, and do on incre
47、asingly higher planes. To keep progressing, we must learn, commit, and do-learn, commit, and do-and learn, commit, and do again. 51 What is the topic the author is trying to get to in paragraph 1? （ A） Continuous improvement. （ B） Upward growth and change. （ C） Change of thought. （ D） The voice of t
