When it comes to selecting candidates through interview, more often than not the decision is made with the first five munutes of a meeting. Yet employers like to {suggest; convince; advise} themselves that they are being exceptionally thorough in their selection processes. In today's marketplace, the {worth; credit; quality} of staff is fundamental to the company's success and, as a result, recruiters use all means at their disposal to secure the best in the field.

One method in particular that has risen in popularity is testing, either psychometric testing(心理测试), which attempts to define psychological characteristics, or aptitude testing. The idea is that those testing provide an organization with an extra way of establishing a candidate's suitability for a role.

The employment of psychometric or ability testing as one {component ; member; share} of the recruitment process may have some merits, but in reality there is simply no real {extent; measure; amount} . The answer to this problem is experience in interview techniques and a strong definition of the elements of each position to be filled. The instinctive decision that many employers make, based on a CV and the first five minutes of a meeting, are perhaps no less valid than any other tool employed in the {business; topic; point} of recruitment.

Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go to their offices, factories or schools every day by train or by bus, even though this means they have to get up earlier in the morning and {arrive; get to; go} home later in the evening.

One benefit of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London {without; with; near} a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the {city; place; country} with a garden of his own.

Then, in the country one can be free {out of; from; without} the noise and hurry of the town. Although one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or bused, one can sleep better at night, and, during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh clean air of the country. If one likes gardening, one can spend one's spare time digging, planting, watering and doing a lot of other jobs which are needed in the garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of a person who has shared the secrets of {working; nature; gardening} .

Joachim's vision is based on an idea called pleaching (编织), where tree branches are grown so that they naturally weave together. Since the growth patterns of trees are {effected; affected; attempted} by wind and sunlight, it may be possible to control the way a tree develops.

These Fabricated Tree House Habitats would use trees grown into shapes as housing. One of the {purposes; disadvantages; advantages} of these designs is that trees would not have to be cut down for lumber.

"A 100 percent treehouse would take years to create," Joachim said.{Depending on; Judging by; Protected from} the climate, a house could take anywhere from 5 to 30 years to grow. Fortunately, there's a way to speed up the process. Joachim suggests including ecological materials such as sod (草皮), grasses and living branches in the housing designs. "This material would be able to move as the house grows," Joachim said.

A home would become an actual ecosystem, a community of plants, animals, and bacteria working together. The trees would also give off water vapor that would assist in {cleaning; heating; cooling} the homes. Solar panels and wind would help provide energy. The tree homes might even have soil pockets, where plants could grow from the structure itself.

Work has already begun on Joachim's first design—a house made from 50 percent recycled and 50 percent living things. Joachim is confident about the {happiness; benefit; importance} of his work, as he uses natural products without destroying nature.

"The environment and its study are very important. We need to respect nature, don't take it for granted," he said.

THE HISTORY OF THE INTERNET

Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was{set up; set off; set forth}in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer network didn't work well. If one computer in the network{broke out; broke through; broke down} , then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through{another; the other; other}part. In this way computer network system would keep on working on the time.

At first the Internet was only used by the government, but in the early{nineteen seventy; 1970s; 1970}, universities，hospitals and banks were allowed to use it too. However, computers were still very expensive and the Internet was difficult to use. By the start of the 1990s, computers became{more expensive; smaller; cheaper}and easier to use. Scientists had also developed software that made “surfing” in the Internet more convenient.

Mary, the 17-year-old daughter of a rich textile(纺织品) owner was freed(释放) by her kidnappers(绑匪) after 118 days. She said she spent most of the time in a tent in the woods{with; and; although}one foot tied to a tree. She was freed late on Friday{so; after; unless}her family paid a total of $1.8 million, the largest ransom (赎金) ever paid in Italy.

“I was treated{good; bad; well},” the girl told the reporter during the interview, “Biscuits, cakes, often hot food and at times beef.” She said her nearly four months in trouble was spent in a tent set up in a wooded area.

“I never saw their faces and{when; that; which}they spoke, they changed their voices in nasal tones (speaking through nose passage) on purpose ,” she said. “They kept repeating that the only thing they wanted was the money and that they didn't want to have{nothing; something; anything}to do with me or my family.”

The high school student, who was seized by three face-covered and armed men on July 2, 1983 from her family's country villa in Tuscany, said she still had no idea where exactly she had been held.

MY VOLUNTEER EXPERIENCE AT THE YOUTH SERVICES CENTER LIBRARY

My experience at the library included{assisted; assisting; assist}kids during their library visit in a number of ways—reader's advisory, working with the kids during library skills sessions, and checking{out; up; in}books. Of all of these experiences, working through problems with the kids during library skills sessions was{/; more; most}rewarding. Some of the library skills sessions were on the computer and others were using print sources like newspapers and encyclopedias.

Reader's advisory for the kids was also rewarding. Through the recommendations of Jill Morrison, the YSCL's head librarian, and also talking with the kids themselves, I read quite a few young adult titles. Doing this reading and also reading other reviews of juvenile literature{enabled; made; let}me to give the kids recommendations for books they might enjoy.

One afternoon a high school-aged girl approached me{asking for; asking about; asking}books about college. She wanted to get all of the information that she could on college admission processes. Together using the library's webcat, we found some useful books for her. We also found some relevant websites. At the beginning of my experience at the YSCL, I felt that if I came away making a difference for only one person, I had succeeded. This young woman was so appreciative and enthusiastic about the information we found together that I think I met my goal.
