15、finished statements, numbered 36 through 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A, B, C, and D. You should make the correct choice. 29 The purpose of any selection interview is to choose the right person for the job in question or to select someone who shows potential for more
16、 senior posts. Interviews may not be the ideal method of selecting staff. For one thing, you will not know whether you have selected wisely until long after the interview. The period you have to wait will depend on the job in question. The lower the level of the job is, the quicker you will discover
17、 how good you were with your selection. Be clear what you are trying to achieve by the interview and how you intend to do it. Interviewing requires many skills which typically only develop with practice. Be careful that you are not being subjective in your judgments(判断 ); try to be objective whereve
18、r possible. An example may illustrate the point. If you interview a long-haired male applicant, you may be put off by the length of his hair; you may associate the long hair with untidiness, dirt or laziness. This is a subjective judgment another interviewer may not be affected by hair length in the
19、 same way. Subjective misjudgment is sometimes called the “halo and horn“ effect. We meet someone neatly dressed and well-spoken, and from this we assume that they are all things good; that they will be reliable, honest, hard working, etc. We are blinded by their halo. Conversely, on meeting a rough
20、ly-spoken, scruffy(褴褛的 )individual we decide they will be unreliable, careless and lazy. We only see their horns. This problem needs to be overcome, since we could so easily overlook first-class candidates(候选人 )for vital posts because we have not been objective. 29 Which of the following best summar
21、izes the main idea of the essay? （ A） Things to pay attention to when interviewing job applicants. （ B） Things to pay attention to when applying for a job. （ C） Advice to how to be subjective. （ D） The importance of a selection interview. 30 which of the following statements is TRUE? （ A） The best m
22、ethod of selecting staff is to interview job applicants. （ B） The results of an interview will often come out soon after the interview. （ C） It takes longer to find out the results of an interview for a vital post. （ D） If the interviewer is clear as to what he or she wants to achieve, he/she will a
23、chieve it. 31 What is the purpose of a selection interview? （ A） To choose someone who fits the post. （ B） To decide if the interviewer is objective. （ C） To discover how good the interviewer was with his selection. （ D） To overcome subjective judgments. 32 According to the passage, the image of a l
24、ong-haired male applicant _. （ A） is always associated with dirt and laziness （ B） often affects an objective interviewer in forming his judgment （ C） does not affect an interviewer in forming his judgment （ D） should not affect the interviewer in forming an objective judgment 33 Which of the follow

26、servation. Task 2 Directions: This task is the same as Task 1. The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45. 34 Advertising informs consumers about new products available on the market. It gives us information about everything from toothpaste to computers and cars. But the “in
27、formation“ it provides is actually very often “misinformation“. It tells us the products benefits but hides their disadvantages. Advertising not only leads us to buy things that we dont need and cant afford, but it also confuses our sense of reality. Advertisers use many methods to get us to buy the
28、ir products. One of their most successful methods is to make us feel dissatisfied with ourselves and our imperfect lives. Advertisements show ns who we arent and what we dont have. Advertisements make us. afraid that people won t like us if we don t use the advertised products. If fear is the negati
29、ve(消极的 )motive for buying a product, then wanting a good serf-image is the positive reason for choosing it. Each of us has a mental picture of the kind of person we would like to be.

30、ther. These experts tell advertisers about the motives of fear and self-image. They also inform them about recent studies with colors and words. Many people believe that advertising does not affect them. They know that there is freedom to choose. Unfortunately, they probably dont realize the powerfu
31、l effect of advertising.
