The interview had been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well. Then，suddenly，the interviewer asks an unexpected question，“Which is more important，law or Dove？”
Job applicants in the West increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this. And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.
Employers want people skilled，enthusiastic and devoted. So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicants will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are. In response，employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant’s true personality.
The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Keirsey Personality Sorter. It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems，rather than what they know. This is often called an aptitude test (能力倾向测验)．
According to Mark Baldwin, many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult. When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test, he or she will think there is a right answer and they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see.
This is sometimes called the prisoner’s dilemma. Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest. But they fail because they don’t understand what the interviewer is looking for. Remember that in an aptitude test，the correct answer is always the honest answer.
1.The writer wrote the passage to________.
A. give you a piece of advice on a job interview
B. tell you how to meet a job interviewer
C. describe the aptitude test
D．advise you how to find a job
2.Why do the interviewers ask such questions?
A. They want to discover what the interviewees know.
B. They are curious about the answers.
C. They try to discover the ability of the interviewees solving problems.
D. They just ask questions without thinking much.
3.According to the writer, in an aptitude test, Chinese job applicants should________.
A. not tell the truth
B. learn to tell what they really think
C. be more enthusiastic
D. try to find out what the examiner really want to know
4.From the passage we know that________.
A. job applicants are always asked such questions

C. applicants should not act as reasonably as a prisoner
D. the aptitude test is becoming popular worldwide

As the labor market becomes more attractive, more companies are sending their employees to school. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is the latest company to use tuition assistance for employees – which for decades has been a part of many business’ benefits packages – as part of a renewed effort to bring in and cultivate talent. And while the impact of such programs has yet to be fully assessed, many see it as a positive – although gradual – movement.
“For workers, it gives them a better opportunity for development,” says Colleen Flaherty Manchester, a professor. “For firms, they are able to recruit the type of employees who have value education and are less likely to turn over, and thus have a higher level of retention(保留) .”
In all, 56 percent of US organizations offer undergraduate educational assistance while 52 percent offer graduate assistance.
Largely driving the trend are Millennials, who happen to be the fastest-growing people in the US workforce today and to whom the idea of tuition support from employers is especially appealing. Nearly 60 percent of Millennials surveyed said they would choose a job with strong professional-development potential over one with regular pay raises. Employers are absolutely adapting to Millennials in the workplace. They recognize that they need more experience, more knowledge, more mentoring to be successful. And they’re asking for it.
Of more than 140,000 Starbucks employees, only about 4,000 have signed up for the company’s College Achievement Plan. What the long-term effects such programs might have for companies’ retention and turnover rates remain unclear. But, the pluses of these programs are more important than the minuses. We’re going to see a lot more of this in the future.
1.Using tuition assistance for employees ________.
A. has attracted a large number of talents
B. is a trend that formed recently
C. has existed for scores of years
D. is well received by employees
2.What can we learn from what Colleen Flaherty said?
A. It is merely beneficial to employees
B. It is a win-win event for employees and employers.
C. Valuing education has become a trend for all companies.
D. It turns out to be tough for firms to find suitable employees.
3.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 4 refer to?
A. Regular pay raises.
B. More chances to be successful.
C. Educational support.
D. Professional–development potential.
4.Which of the following statements is TRUE about the programs?
A. The programs can guarantee the employees a good job.
B. The impact of the programs remains to be estimated.
C. Employees will benefit more from the programs than companies.
D. It’s less likely that employees will remain in the same company after receiving the programs.

Dar and I loved to dance. It was probably the first thing we did together, long before we would share our lives.
We grew up in a small Oregon mountain community where dances were held almost every Saturday night. Dar was seventeen and l was thirteen when we first danced. He was one of the best dancers on the floor, and so was I. We always jitterbugged. No slow dancing for us; nothing remotely romantic.
Our fathers would stand along the wall and watch. Every once in a while, Dar’s dad would smile a little and say, to no one in particular, but my dad could hear, “Boy, my kid can sure dance.” My dad never blinked an eye; he acted like he’d never heard. But a while later he would say, to no one in particular, “That girl of mine can sure dance.”
Our dancing together stopped for five years while Dar was in the South Pacific in World War II. When we met again, Dar was twenty-two, and l was eighteen. We began to date and dance again. We were as good together as we remembered, and this time we added slow dancing.
For us, life is a dance, a movement of rhythms, directions, stumbles, missteps, at times slow and precise, or fast and wild and joyous. We did all the steps.
Two nights before Dar died, the family were with us. We all ate dinner together, and Dar sat with us. He hadn’t been able to eat for several days. After dinner, I put on a Nat King Cole tape. Dar took me in his arms, weak as he was, and we danced and smiled. No tears for us. We were doing what we had loved to do for more than fifty years. It was our last dance---forever unforgettable. I wouldn’t have missed it for the world.
1.The author first danced with Dar when____.
A. they were still in their teens
B. they began to date each other
C. they began to share their lives
D. Dar returned from the South Pacific

A. Her dad didn’t like Dar's father.
B. Her dad was not interested in the dance.
C. Her dad was too focused on his daughter.
D. Her dad thought his daughter danced better.
3.How did the author feel when she danced with Dar for the last time?
A. Regretful. B. Content.
C. Heart-broken. D. Concerned.
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A. My Unforgettable Dancing Partner
B. Dance Together to the Last
C. My Last Dance with Dar
D. The Best Dancers
