【题目】 A headache is the feeling you get when your head hurts. Headaches can differ from very mild to incredibly powerful. They can last anywhere from 10 minutes to hours. Very bad headaches are called migraines. People who suffer from migraine headaches often need to take the day off from school or work and lie in bed all day.

Why do people get headaches? There are many possible causes. People who drink too much caffeine (in coffee or soft drinks, for example) or alcohol can end up with headaches. This is because these kinds of drinks take water away from the body. If the brain doesn’t have enough water, it gets smaller and pulls away from the head. This can be extremely painful. The best way to get rid of this kind of headache is just to drink lots of water.

Tension headaches happen when the body's muscles are too tight. When people feel stress, it is common for the muscles near the head to become tense. Tension headaches might also be caused by not getting enough sleep. Some people suffer from tension headaches for only short times but for other people, these kinds of headaches are a chronic problem that happens again and again. A massage (按摩) might help to stop a tension headache. If that doesn't help, you might need to see a doctor.

Headaches can also be caused by much bigger health problems. For example, a head or neck injury can cause them. Headaches can also be a warming sign of a heart attack.

1In the article, how long can a headache last?

A.at least 10 hours.B.about 10 minutes.

C.from minutes to hoursD.more than 10 hours.

2Why can caffeine cause headaches?

A.Because it makes the head gets smaller.

B.Because it makes the skull gets bigger.

C.Because it takes water away from the body.

D.Because it gives the body too much water.

3The word 'chronic' in paragraph 3 have the same meaning with______.

A.terrificB.repeated

C.rareD.interesting

4Why should someone with lots of headaches visit a doctor?

A.They might need to drink water.B.They might need to talk.

C.They might have a bigger problem.D.They might need more medicine.

【题目】 Telling someone they are not hired is never an easy job, but all hiring managers will face this difficult situation many times in their careers. While everyone fears denial on some level, it is important to understand that not everyone will fit in every job. Further, there are times when the applicant quality will be so great, a decision to reject an applicant may not reflect on that applicant's abilities but the overall quality of the field.

There are a number of methods that can be used to get the message across that a person is not hired. In many cases, especially for those who were never called for an interview, a simple form letter may be sufficient. In other cases, where someone may have been called for an interview, a phone call or letter could be chosen to deliver the message that they were not hired. In cases where there may be an ongoing relationship with the person not hired, it may be best to break the news in person, though this has the obvious potential of being more uncomfortable. Above all, it is best to always be honest with those who didn't get the job. Lying is never acceptable.

Generally, it is not a good idea to tell someone specific reasons why they are not hired for a job. This can only lead to resentment(怨恨)and regret. However, there may be specific times when this could be a good idea. For example, if an applicant is promising and the hiring manager believes another position will be opening up that suits the applicant's skills, this could be a way to let that person know they may soon have another opportunity.

In all cases, even if you feel someone has cheated to obtain an interview, never behave in a way which shows you are superior to them. This is unprofessional and reflects very poorly not only on the hiring manager, but the organization as a whole.

1Why are some applicants refused according to Paragraph 1?

A.They are interested in other fields.

B.They don't qualify for the position.

C.They are afraid of making decisions.

D.They lack the courage to face failures.

2How may a not-interviewed applicant be informed of the rejection?

A.By receiving a formal phone call.

B.By getting a simple form letter.

C.By checking a message online.

D.By attending a personal meeting.

3In what case will applicants be told exactly why they are not hired?

A.They regret applying for the job.

B.They demand specific explanations.

C.They may be capable of another post.

D.They have submitted false information.

4What can be inferred about the position of hiring managers?

A.It calls for professional skills.

B.It attracts the applicants most.

C.It doesn't allow for any mistake.

D.It requires honesty and ambition.
