You might ask, what is Chinglish, anyway? It depends on whom you ask. Chinese parents

Part B

［A］ You may have to impress the company HR representatives as well.

HR reps are typically trained to ask very specific and personal questions,

like what salary you expect and what you’ve made in the past.

They might ask you about your impressions of the company and the people who

interviewed you. They might also ask if you have other offers. If so,

chances are good that they are willing to compete for you.

But if you say that you have other offers,

be prepared to back it up with the who, what and when,

because they might challenge you.

The HR reps are also the people who will conduct or arrange reference and background checks.

They might have the final say.

［B］ Besides management, you might also interview with one or more of your future coworkers.

Regardless of the questions they ask, what they most really want to know is how well you’

ll fit into the team, if you’ll cause them more work instead of less,

and if they should feel threatened by you. When answering,

be eager enough to show that you are a good team player and will pull your load,

but not so eager as to appear to be a back- stabbing ladder climber!

［C］ Always research a company before you interview, and remember that attire,

body language and manners count, big time. Try to avoid common mistakes.

You may think that this is common sense, but crazy stuff really happens!

［D］ Job interviewing is one of the most popular career topics on the Web.

But no career advisor can tell you exactly what to say during a job interview.

Interviews are just too upclose and personal for that.

About the best that career advisors can do,

is to give you some tips about the typical questions to expect,

so you can practice answering them ahead of time. But,

while there are many canned interview questions, there are few canned answers.

The rest is up to you.

［E］ Be prepared to attend a second interview at the same company,

and maybe even a third or fourth. If you’re called back for more interviews,

it means that they’re interested in you. But, it doesn’t mean you’re a shoo- in. Most likely, they are narrowing the competition, so keep up the good work!

［F］ To put you somewhat at ease, many interviewers really don’t know how to interview effectively.

Frontline interviewers are typically managers and supervisors

who have never been or are barely trained in interviewing techniques.

They’re a little nervous too, just like you. Some don’t even prepare in advance.

This makes it easier for you to take control of the interview,

if you have prepared. But in controlling an interview, it’s not a good idea to try to dominate.

Instead, try to steer it toward landing the job.

［G］ After interviewing, immediately send a thank you letter to each of your interviewers.

It’s professional and expected, and might even be the deciding factor in your favor.

［H］ Remember, it’s a two- way street. It’s the employer’s chance to judge you,

but it’s also very much your chance to judge the employer. In fact,

if you handle yourself well and ask the right questions,

you’ll put the interviewer in the position of selling the company to you.

If this happens, you’re probably doing well.

Receiving Visitors at the Airport

Do you, sometimes, need to go to meet some visitors at the airport？ What should you do when you meet them？ What should you talk about？ On their arrival, you should pay attention to the following points:

Going up to meet the visitors

Asking about their journey

Helping with their luggage

When going to the visitors and making introduction at the airport, you should remember that the person of less importance, regardless of gender, is introduced to the person of greater importance and the visitor is always more important than anyone in your organization. The introduction is usually followed by a brief and firm handshake.

To break the ice, after introduction, you can ask about their journey, like: “Did you enjoy your journey？” , “How was your trip？” etc. If you want to be more friendly and helpful, you may offer to take the luggage.

When you get to the hotel, accompany your visitors to the hotel front desk and help them with the check-in. After check-in, ask a bell boy to help carry the luggage.

When your visitors have settled down, discuss the schedule with them to see if there might be any changes. If there are changes, don't forget to let the related persons know.

1.When making introductions, the introduction is usually starting with a brief and firm handshake.

2.In order to break the ice, you may ask visitors about their journey after the introduction.

3.If you want to be more friendly and helpful, you'd better help carry the luggage.

4.You should discuss the schedule with the visitors before they've settled down.

听力原文：W: Oh, Larry, I have been meaning to talk to you.

M: Hi, Jenis. What's up？

W: I have this great job lined up to manage the clothing store at the mall.

M: So what's the problem？

W: Well, one of the professors in my department just told me about a summer internship program that's available. She thinks I might be able to intern in the office of the Way fare Hotel here in town.

M: That sounds like a great opportunity too. Why not take advantage of it？

W: I'd love to, especially since I'm studying hotel management. It would be a great way to get some practical experience in my field.

M: And you never know, it might lead to something with them after graduation. They are on of the biggest hotel chains in the area.

W: You're right. But the drawback is I wouldn't be making nearly as much money as I would be working in the clothing store, not to mention the discount I could get on clothes there.

M: How much is the internship paid？

W: They pay their internship a small stipend and give them free room and board for the sum- mer.

M: Well, if I were you, I would take the internship anyway. You could always get a job during the school year to make a few extra bucks.

Everyday we go to school and listen to the teacher, and the teacher will ask us some questions. Sometimes, the classmates will ask your opinions of the work of the class. When you are telling others in the class what you have found out about these topics, remember that they must be able to hear what you are saying.

You must speak so that they can hear you—loudly enough and clearly enough but without trying to shout of appearing to force yourself.

Remember, too, that it is the same if you are called to an interview whether it is with a professor of your school or a government official who might meet you. The person you are seeing will try to put you at your ease(轻松)but the situation is somewhat(一点儿)different from that of an ordinary conversation. You must take special care that you can be heard.

Silent Listening

If something bad just happened (happen) to your friend, what would you do？ Would you mention it to him and say you feel sorry about it？ Would you offer support or advice？ According to Ruth Clark, such 41 (treat) could mean well, but it might not be what he 42 (real) wants or needs.

Clark asked some college students to imagine some 43 (pleasant) situations, e.g., a low exam grade or the dad’s 44 (lose) of his job.The students were then 45 (ask) how they would like to be treated by a friend who learned of the bad situation from someone else.The results were a little 46 (surprise).Some said they would want and expect their friend to mention the 47 (annoy) situation, but most of the students in the study 48 (respond) that they would like the friend not to do it.The students made the 49 (decide) for themselves whether to discuss their problem with a friend.So, there is value in being a silent 50 (listen) around a troubled friend.

听力原文： Ask the average American,"What is freedom？"You will probably hear,"It's being able to do what I want to do." When Americans think of freedom, they often think of individualism.They see themselves more as individuals than as members of a family or social group.

In American culture.freedom means equality.The Declaration of Independence states that"all men are created equal."That does not mean equal in abilities or status.For Americans,equality refers to equal worth and equal opportunity. Every individual should have an equal chance to improve his life.True,America has not always lived up to that ideal.For many years,Native Americans,African Americans and immigrants have protested their unequal treatment. But American culture still teaches that people can work hard and fulfill their dreams.Whether this idea is true or not,people hear rags-to-riches stories often enough to confirm it in the minds of many people.

Freedom arouses strong feelings for Americans.The idea of liberty binds people together in this"land of the free." However,problems still exist.One individual's freedom can conflict with the rights of others. Someone once said,"You have the freedom to swing your fist around if you want.But your freedom ends where my nose begins."People can also become too concerned about their own rights.They might demand special treatment.However,the path to freedom is not completely smooth.Even so,for Americans,no other road is really worth traveling.

What do Americans often think of when thinking of freedom？

A．Collectivism.

B．Equality.

C．Social group.

D．Individualism.

If you want to get to know Americans, one important piece of advice is this: make the first move yourself. In the United States, it is common and acceptable to start conversations, even with strangers or casual acquaintances. Don' t wait around for an American to talk to you. Start a conversation yourself. Ask questions. Show that you are interested in getting to know them. Of course, not every conversation will result in a friendship, but if you don't start conversations, you will have much less chance of making friends.

If someone seems friendly but you have only exchanged greet/rigs, try starting a conversation. There are a number of possible subjects for casual conversation. Americans talk about their work if they are employed, their classes and majors if they are students, their families, their hobbies and leisure time activities, sports, cur- rent events, and the weather, among other topics. If you are talking to a stranger, you can ask, "What kind of work do you do？" or "Where do you work？" If you know that the other person is a student, you can ask, "What classes are you taking？" and "What is your major？" You should also be prepared to answer questions like these in a conversation. Also, many Americans are interested in China, so you should be able to talk about China and Chinese culture in English.

When you ask questions in a conversation, don't skip around from one topic to another. Follow up one question with a related one. You might ask an American, "Do you have any children？" If the American says, "Yes," don't follow up with a question about work. Ask another question about the children, such as how many children there are or how old they are.

Which of the following is the reason why Chinese people feel awkward talking to Americans？

A．They don't like to talk to strangers.

B．They don't know enough about some topics.

C．They often speak English with a strong accent.

D．They don't talk to them in an appropriate manner.

But, you know, it is very possible that in the future the question will disappear, and we might very well ask instead, "What do you play？"

Computers and other technological, equipment are making jobs more automated and less personally demanding. Scientists tell us that one day in the foreseeable future, very few people will have to work. Our society will be operated by computers and we will have much more free time, so that our games will become more important than our jobs.

At the beginning of this century, almost everybody believed in work. But by the end of this century, we might be thinking quite differently. Today, people are divided into social classes in accordance with the types of work they do; tomorrow, it is more than likely that we will be divided according to the types of games we play.

This change in the use of our time may give rise to a new race of therapists (治疗学家) called "fun specialists," who will fill the same functions as our current career specialists. They will show us how to get the most fun and enjoyment out of our leisure time. Someday people will no longer be known primarily by the work they do.

What is the main idea of the passage？

A．Work plays an important part in our general lifestyle.

B．People are divided into social classes according to how much they earn each month.

C．It is very possible that game will replace work as the most important part in our life.

D．Game players know how to get the most fun and enjoyment out of our leisure time.

What gets in the way of accurate listening？ When we're worried about what we're hearing or might hear next or what we might have to do about what we hear, we may very well receive a【C9】______ message.【C10】______ that we will have to "fix it" or "control it" causes us to listen with "filters". We may want to express our own point of view. We may also want to avoid being【C11】______ or being drawn into a conflict, so we【C12】______ . what we hear, because we're already thinking about what we'll say next. It then becomes impossible to hear the speaker's true meaning. Clearly in our workplaces, families and friendship, if we【C13】______ what we think we heard instead of what was actually said, the【C14】______ of the message we received will result in responses that aren't【C15】______ . On the other side, if others don't hear us accurately, we won't feel valued.

If you want to connect with others and take appropriate actions, you must learn to listen with curiosity, empathy and a deep appreciation for the feelings, reality and creativity of another. You need to ask for【C16】______ and not【C17】______ conclusions. You need to pay close attention and "mirror" back what you hear rather than listening【C18】______ while thinking of other things or listening through filters,【C19】______ or expectations that limit or distort the message's【C20】______ meaning. We build trust when others know we understand and value them.

【C1】

A．result in

B．lead to

C．stem from

D．bring about

Belief is not a mechanical action, brought about by invariable rules of nature. It is a human activity, the exercise of judgment. With this in mind, we might say that we perform. this action better when we know what the reasons are that have led to our belief, and why they are good reasons. These observations do not deprive us of our ability to believe in what we read. They are not intended to transform. you from credulous believers into stubborn doubters.

The process of weighing beliefs against the quality of reasons is one that you already go through all the time, whether you are aware of it or not. We all do. The practice of critical reading is the exercise of this kind of judgment on purpose. By doing it, we protect ourselves from being led into belief for inadequate reasons, but at the same time we open up our minds to the possibility of arriving at belief for adequate ones. If we decide to grant or withhold consent based on the quality of the reasons that we are given, we admit at the same time that two things are possible: We admit that we might consent less in the future if we discover that the reasons are not so good after all; and we admit that we might consent more if we are ever presented with better reasons than we had formerly known. This attitude is not pure skepticism any more than it is pure credulity. It is somewhere in between. It is the attitude of an open-minded thinker, of someone who wishes to be responsible for deciding for herself or himself what to believe.

The author's use of the bathtub hoax is meant to suggest that ______.

A．belief is nothing but a light switch

B．facts must be believed unconditionally

C．nothing should be believed or disbelieved

D．belief is more than a simple yes or no choice
