8、ugh sometimes amusing, while the Chinese panel members paid hardly any attention to such errors as, for example, misuse of phrasal verbs and similar usages: “When I saw the job description, I decided to apply the position.” “I expect to find out a lot of challenge in the job.” “I can deal the emerge

9、ncy situations efficiently.”Errors of idiom or appropriateness caused more comment, during the post interview discussion, from the native speakers than from the Chinese panel members, on whom the errors were sometimes lost. For example, one candidate, when asked what salary he expected, replied: “I

10、dont care about it.” The message was clear enough, namely that he was primarily interested in the job, but the formulation of the message was not quite right. Even such ribticklers(笑话)as “I am a well planned person .”and “I would like to expose myself in another field”(both actually heard at intervi

11、ews) tended to cause lipbiting among the expatriate rather than the Chinese interviewers.Panels with two Chinese and one expatriate used to be more common, but are becoming less common. The reason is that with more of the interview now being conducted in Chinese, the non Chinese speaker does not kno

12、w what has already been asked and is liable to repeat in English questions that have already been covered in Chinese. This caused, naturally enough, confusion in the interviewee and can adversely affect the whole interview.The sensible procedure would seem to be to open the interview in the mother t

13、ongue of the candidates, to put them at their ease, then at a later stage turn to English, to test English proficiency. In practice, however, possibly because of the problem mentioned in the previous paragraph when the panel contains a foreigner, it is often the reverse, with a few, fairly standard,

14、 opening questions in English, and if these are successfully answered, then the job interview properly gets underway in Cantonese.One of the worst interview scenarios(方案)is when a foreigner who thinks she/he can speak Cantonese (but does so, in fact, badly) decides to question the interviewee in Can

15、tonese. In other circumstances of a social nature the interviewee would no doubt politely compliment the foreigner on his or her good Cantonese, but in the seriousness of a job interview situation, the Chinese is confused and slightly embarrassed for the foreigner. These forays(初步尝试)into Chinese usu

An estimated 90 percent of all illnesses may be

23、 preventable if individuals would make sound personal health choice and do not like to see it restricted when it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society. The structure of American society allows us to make almost all our own personal decisions that may concern our health. If we so desire

24、, we can smoke, drink excessively, refuse to wear seat belts, eat whatever foods we want, and live a completely sedentary life style without any exercise. The freedom to make such personal decisions is a fundamental aspect of our society, although the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned. Per

25、sonal choices relative to health often cause a difficulty. As one example, a teenager may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be pressured by friends into believing it is the socially accepted thing to do.A multitude of factors, both inherited and environmental, influenc

26、e the development of health related behaviors, and it is beyond the scope of this text to discuss all these factors as they may affect any given individual. However, the decision to adopt a particular health related behavior is usually one of personal choices. There are healthy choices and there are

27、 unhealthy choices. In discussing the morals of personal choice, Fries and Grapo drew a comparison. They suggest that to knowingly give oneself over to a behavior that has a statistical probability of shortening life is similar to attempting suicide. Thus, for those individuals who are interested in

28、 preserving both the quality and quantity of life, personal health choices should reflect those behaviors that are associated with a statistical probability of increased vitality and longevity.71The concept of personal choice concerning health is important because _.Apersonal health choice help cure

29、 most illnessBit helps raise the level of our medical knowledgeCit is essential to personal freedom in American societyDwrong decisions could lead to poor health72To “live a completely sedentary life style”(L7,Para.1)in the passage means_.Ato “live an inactive life” Bto “live a decent life”Cto “live

30、 a life with complete freedom” Dto “live a life of vice”73Sound personal health choice is often difficult to make because _. Acurrent medical knowledge is still insufficientBthere are many factors influencing our decisionsCfew people are willing to trade the quality of life for the quantity of lifeD

31、people are usually influenced by the behavior of their friends74To knowingly allow oneself to pursue unhealthy habits is compared by Fries and Crapo to _.Aimproving the quality of ones lifeBlimiting ones personal health choiceCdeliberately ending ones lifeDbreaking the rules of social behavior75Acco

32、rding to Fries and Crapo sound health choices should be based on _.Apersonal decisions Bsocietys lawsCstatistical evidenceDfriends opinions concept boundary restrict fundamental statistical 任务型阅读Without most people realizing it, there has been a revolution in office work over the last ten years. Bef

33、ore that time, large computers were only used by large, rich companies that could afford the investment. With the advancement of technology, small computers have come onto the market, which are capable of doing the work that used to be done by much larger and expensive computers, so now most smaller

34、 companies can use them The main development in small computers has been in the field of word processors (处理器) , or WPS as they are often called. 40% of British offices are now estimated to have a word processor and this percentage is growing fast. There are many advantages in using a word processor

35、 for both secretary and manager. The secretary is freed from a lot of daily work, such as re-typing letters and storing papers. He or she can use this time to do other more interesting work for the boss. From a managers point of view, secretarial time is being made better use of and money can be sav

36、ed by doing daily jobs automatically outside office hours. But is it all good? If a lot of daily secretarial work can be done automatically, surely this will mean that fewer secretaries will be needed. Another worry is the increasing medical problems related to work with visual display units (显示器).

37、The case of a slow loss of sight among people using word processors seems to have risen greatly. It is also feared that if a woman works at a VDU for long hours, the unborn child in her body might be killed. Safety screens to put over a VDU have been invented but few companies in England bother to b
