    Attitudes differed to small errors of grammar and usage, or inappropriateness of vocabulary and idiom, with the native speakers finding such errors a little irksome(令人厌烦的)，though 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 emergency 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 don’t 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 interviews) 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 know 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 tongue 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, 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 Cantonese. 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 usually end pretty quickly with one of the Chinese members of the panel rescuing the foreigner and continuing the interview in English.?
    64．Concerning misuses of phrasal verbs,____.
    A．both Chinese and the native speakers of English find them amusing
    B．the Chinese interviewers tend to be tolerant
    C．the Chinese interviewers and the English native speaker interviewers often have a discussion
    D．might sometimes become a laughing stock to the native speakers of English but draw hardly any attention from the Chinese
    65．It is implied in the passage that ____.
    A．Chinese are generally liable to make mistakes in English grammar and vocabulary usage
    B．expatriate interviewers are generally more friendly with interviews
    C．braver candidates can often get the upper hand
    D．the candidates often deliver an improper message for the use of inappropriate expressions
    66．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
    A．The non Chinese speaking interviewer might ask the questions which have already been asked by the Chinese and hence cause confusion.
    B．It is more practicable to start an interview with a few fairly standard questions in English before switching to Chinese.
    C．The best procedure of an interview would seem to be beginning in Cantonese and then testing English proficiency.
    D．The Chinese interviewee often politely compliments the foreign interviewer if he or she speaks cantonese if it is not actually so good in the interview.?
    67．This passage is mainly concerned with ____.
    A．whether language proficiency or work ability counts in job interviews
    B．how to avoid awkward situation in a job interview in HongKong
    C．the language used in a job interview with both Chinese and expatriate panel members
    D．the sensible procedure of getting on with an interview where the Chinese interviewee’s English is to be tested

    Self-esteem is all about how much we are valued, loved, accepted, and thought well of by others and how much we value, love and accept ourselves. People with healthy self-esteem are able to do better in school and find it easier to make friends. They tend to have better relationships with others, feel happier, find it easier to deal with mistakes and failures, and are more likely to stick to something until they succeed. People with low self-esteem may feel as if no one will like them or accept them or that they can’t do well in anything.   
    The following ways may help you improve your self-esteem.
    Try to stop thinking negative thoughts about yourself. If you’re used to focusing on your shortcomings, start thinking about positive aspects of yourself that outweigh them. It is good to aim high, but your goals for yourself should be within reach. That’s why you should set practical goals and never expect the impossible. Mistakes are part of learning, so view mistakes as learning opportunities. Accept that you make mistakes because everyone does.
    Also, you should recognize what you can change and what you can’t. If you realize that you’re unhappy with something about yourself, you can change and start from today. If it’s something you can’t change (like your height), start to work toward loving yourself the way you are.
    Feeling like you’re making a difference or that your help is valued can do wonders to improve your self-esteem. So don’t hesitate to make a contribution. You can lend a hand to a classmate who’ s having trouble, help your neighborhood clean up, or volunteer to do some other things.
    Self-esteem plays a role in almost everything you do. It’s never too late to build healthy self-esteem. It takes some work, and it’s a necessary skill you’ll have for life.
    1. The underlined word “them” in Paragraph 3 refers to “______”.
    A. your classmates                                   B. your shortcomings
    C. your strong points                                 D. your goals
    2. According to the passage, which of the following can help improve your self-esteem?
    A. Setting high goals similar to others’.
    B. Never forgiving yourself for your mistakes.
    C. Lending a hand to a classmate in trouble.
    D. Changing all the things that make you unhappy.
    3. We can infer from the passage that ______.
    A. the old tend to have healthier self-esteem than the young
    B. we should build healthy self-esteem when young
    C. there are more people with low self-esteem
    D. it is not easy to build healthy self-esteem
    4. The passage is mainly about ______.
    A. how people improve their self-esteem                  
    B. what self-esteem means
    C. what people with low self-esteem are like             
    D. what people with healthy self-esteem are like
    5. How many ways of improving your self-esteem are mentioned in the passage?
