　　[1]My daughter did an experiment for me two summers ago．She applied to job openings she’d found on a couple of big online job boards．She mailed the applications and waited．And waited．After sending out 100 resumes(履历表), specially addressed to each organization’s human resources(HR) manager, fewer than five HR departments took the time to reply, or acknowledged receipt．

　　[2]What happened?

　　[3]Maybe in the thirty seconds or so of attention that her resume received, each HR person made a snap decision．It seemed that 95 of them were unimpressioned．

　　[4]Or, maybe, out of the 300 other resumes HR had received that morning, they had already scheduled a requisite(必要的) number of interviews．Or, maybe HR simply forwarded her resume to the hiring manager who was supposed to call her for an interview．

　　[5]Or, maybe they thought her resume was fairly generic(一般的) and they didn’t have time to figure out if she might be a good fit, with the necessary skills, attitudes, and the desire to do the job．

　　[6]Most likely, the real reason why she didn’t get an interview was the last one．HR didn’t have time to figure out how she would work in their company．

　　[7]This happens all the time．I think most job seekers make the serious mistake of thinking that all they need to do is tell the HR department what they did in the past．

　　[8]That might be OK for some hiring managers, but most want to know the answer to one question：How can this applicant help us right now?If your resume does not answer that question, or sufficiently tell a story about how you may be able to help, you won’t have a shot at the job in this market．

　　[9]Before you can answer that question, however, you need to do some research on the company．Find out everything you can about the company, including the departments, the people, the products, markets, and the plans for the future．

　　[10]Information is power, and it is available quite easily．Don’t expect HR to figure out how you might fit into their organization．You ________ instead．This is the surest way to get the interview．

1．What’s the main idea of this passage?(within 20 words)

________________

2．Which sentence in the text is the closest in meaning to the following one?

　　[1]Hi, I write this letter to you, my parents, to let you know what I’m thinking．

　　[2]Running a business, raising three children, then raising all three into self-sufficient college graduates is difficult to do．While loving each child individually and fairly, strict house rules have also developed…going out late is difficult to accomplish．I would like to suggest setting a later curfew(宵禁), maybe midnight, or even one o’clock in the morning．

　　[3]While working up to twenty hours a week, my social life has been on the decline since school started．Naturally, you understand how important my friends are to me．Looking back to the summer, there have been many nights that I have wanted to go out, but if it was past nine o’clock, I would not be allowed to．You tell me to go to the party until my curfew, but if the rule continues, I will see my friends for an hour．Seeing my friends for an hour is better than nothing, but not enough to communicate with others．

　　[4]Gaining confidence and trust from you both are things I look forward to, and hopefully I am at an age where I can live up to your expectations．I acknowledge that you are watching over me, and don’t want your little girl to be hurt, and I appreciate that fully．But I can ________ now that I am older．

　　[5]For the time and effort it has taken you to raise me, I sincerely thank you, but letting freedom into my teenage years will be beneficial to all of us．Please feel free to talk to me whenever you have made a decision．I’ll always be around．

　　After achieving a 9 percent GDP growth, hosting a successful Olympic Games and carrying out its first space walk the year before last, you’d think China would be happy．________．That, at least, is the opinion of a new book written by a group of Chinese authors．

　　China Is Not Happy was published in March, 2009．It is a follow-up to the 1996 work China Can Say No, a bestseller that complained about the influence of the West, and the US in particular, on China．Thirteen years later, the authors of China Is Not Happy list their dissatisfaction with how China is being treated in the world today．

　　They argue that China needs to use its growing power and economic resources to build its own position of preeminence(卓越)．“From looking at the history of human civilization, we are most qualified to lead this world．”the book says．

　　The authors, single out the US for special scorn(轻蔑)．“The economic problem has shown the Chinese people that America does have problems, that what we’ve been saying is right,”said one of the authors．

　　The book has become a bestseller in many Chinese bookstores．Yet much of the response to the book has been negative．Several reviews in the Chinese media have criticized the book’s radical(激进的)opinions．The book is a way to“fish money from the pockets of the angry youth and angry elderly,”wrote one critic in the China Youth Daily．Meanwhile, a well-known sociologist, Li Yinhe, has said that China needs patriotism(爱国主义), but there is a limit．In her blog she wrote,“If we are to bully(欺负)other countries, take the world’s resources and try to lead it, we’re going over the top．”

　　The unsteady housing market is showing a rare sign of strength：waiting home sales were up significantly in February, a report released Monday said, suggesting that Americans took advantage of a tax credit for home buyers．

　　Sales rose 8.2 percent in February, the National Association of Realtors(房地产经纪人)said．Analysts had expected sales to stay flat．

　　Economists said Monday’s data suggested buyers were re-entering the market as the April 30 deadline approached for a government tax credit of up to ＄8,000．The tax credit drove up sales rapidly in the fall, when it was originally set to end, but it has been slow to push the market this spring．

　　Lawrence Yun, chief economist for the association, said Monday’s report“may signal the early stages of a second wave of home sales．”

　　A separate report on Monday showed the service division in the United States was improving, driven in part by gains in employment．

　　The Institute for Supply Management’s non-manufacturing barometer(晴雨表)rose to 55.4 in March, up from 53 in February, going beyond expectations．Much of the energy came from a rush in new orders and business activity．

　　It was the highest reading(测量或调查的读数)for the survey since May 2006．While employment rose, it was short of the break-even point, signaling the service division was still losing jobs．Exports also rose significantly．

　　“This is a very encouraging report, which indicates acceleration in demand growth from both domestic and foreign customers,”Barclays Capital researchers wrote in a note on Monday．

　　The jump in waiting home sales was a rare bit of good news for the housing market, which remains in a deep rut(车辙)．Home prices have shown little change．

　　Analysts expect the housing market to gradually improve as unemployment becomes less and the broader recovery gains steam．But so far, relief has been slow to come．

　　Monday’s report showed sales rose even in areas hit hard by poor weather in February．Sales climbed 9 percent in the Northeast and South, which were blanketed by snow in February．

　　The Realtors association bases its data on signed contracts, which usually take one or two months to translate into final sales．

1．What is the effect of the government tax credit?(No more than 5 words)

2．Who is chief economist for the National Association of Realtors?(No more than 2 words)

3．What could be a surprise according to Monday’s report?(No more than 10 words)

　　Directions：Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit．

　　He could have been president of Israel or played the violin at Carnegie Hall, but he was too busy thinking．His thinking on God, love and the meaning of life grace our greeting cards and day-timers．

　　Fifty years after his death, his shock of white hair and hanging mustache still symbolize genius．Einstein remains the foremost scientist of the modern time．Looking back 2,400 years, only Newton, Galileo and Aristotle were his equals．

　　Around the world, universities and academies are celebrating the 100th anniversary of Einstein's "miracle year" when he published five scientific papers in 1905 that basically changed our grasp of space, time, light and matter．Only he could top himself about a decade later with his theory of relativity．

　　Born in the age of horse-drawn carriages, his ideas launched a technological revolution that has made more change in a century than in the previous two thousand years．Computers, satellites, telecommunication, lasers, television and nuclear power all owe their invention to ways in which Einstein exposed a stranger and more complicated reality underneath the world．

　　He escaped Hitler's Germany and devoted the rest of his life to human rights and peace with an authority unmatched by any scientist today, or even most politicians and religious leaders．He spoke out against fascism and racial prejudice．His FBI file ran 1,400 pages．

　　His letters expose a disorderly personal life -- married twice and indifferent toward his children while absorbed in physics．Yet he charmed lovers and admirers with poetry and sailboat outings．Friends and neighbors fiercely protected his privacy．

　　What do a 15-year-old high school sophomore named Tanja Vogt and Thomas Paine have in common?The answer is that both inspired major changes in their societies by writing an essay．

　　In October 1988, Vogt － a student at West Millford High School in New Jersey － read an article in her local newspaper that disturbed her．The article reported that the Board of Education had decided to use polystyrene(聚苯乙烯) trays in the lunchroom because they were less expensive than paper．

　　Vogt knew from her science class that polystyrene can have harmful effects on the environment．In the first place, it is not biodegradable, meaning that it can’t be broken down by natural biological processes．In addition, some polystyrene products release gases called chlorofluorocarbons(CFCs) into the air．Scientific evidence indicates that these CFCs break down the protective ozone layer (臭氧层)of the atmosphere．

　　Vogt decided to write a paper for her social studies class on the issue of polystyrene．Her teacher, Carl Stehle, read her paper to the class．After reminding students that Thomas Paine had had to persuade many hesitant colonists to support the American Revolution, Stehle challenged his class to do something about the polystyrene problem．

　　Vogt and her classmates immediately conducted a survey in the high school and middle school．They discovered that a large majority of students said they wanted to switch back to paper goods in the cafeteria．When they presented their findings to the Board of Education, the board’s business administrator did a survey of his own．He found that roughly 80 percent of the students in the two schools would be willing to pay an extra nickel to eat their lunch from paper trays．As a result, the board voted in December to change to paper trays in all the township’s schools as of February 1, 1989．

　　Almost half of French people believe it is acceptable for workers facing layoffs to lock up their bosses, according to an opinion poll published on Tuesday．

　　Staff at French plants run by Sony, 3M and Caterpillar have held managers inside the factories overnight, in three separate incidents, to demand better layoff terms – a new form of labor action called“bossnapping(老板劫持)”by the media．

　　A poll by the CSA institute for Le Parisien newspaper found 50 percent of French people surveyed disapproved of such acts, but 45 percent thought they were acceptable．“They are not in the majority…．but 45 percent is an enormous percentage and it demonstrates the extent of exasperation among the public at this time of economic crisis,”Le Parisien said．

　　On March 31, billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault was trapped in a taxi in Paris for an hour by staff from his PPR luxury and retail group who were filled with anger about layoffs．Riot police had to be called in to intervene to free him．

　　Le Parisien found that 56 percent of blue-collar workers polled approved of bossnappings while 41 percent disapproved．Among white-collar workers, 59 percent were against the practice while 40 percent thought it was acceptable．“These hostage(人质)takings, we know how it starts but no one knows how far it can go,”said Xavier Bertrand, a former labor minister now secretary-general of the ruling UMP party．“Our country must avoid entering a wave of violence,”he said in reaction to the opinion poll．Some high-ranking government official also expressed the view that bossnappings cannot be tolerated．

　　Shopping for clothes is not the same experience for a man as it is for a woman．A man goes shopping because he needs something．His purpose is settled and decided in advance．He knows what he wants, and his objective is to find it and buy it; the price is a secondary consideration．All men simply walk into a shop and ask the assistant for what they want．If the shop has it in stock, the salesman promptly produces it, and the business of trying it on proceeds at once．All being well, the deal can be and often is completed in less than five minutes, with hardly any chat and to everyone’s satisfaction．For a man, slight problems may begin when the shop does not have what he wants, or does not have exactly what he wants．In that case the salesman, as the name implies, tries to sell the customer something else, he offers the nearest he can to the article required．No good salesman brings out such a substitute without least consideration; he does so with skill and polish：“I know this jacket is not the style you want, sir, but would you like to try it for size．It happens to be the color you mentioned．”Few men have patience with this treatment, and the usual response is：“This is the right color and may be the right size but I should be wasting my time and yours by trying it on．”

Now how does a women go about buying clothes?In almost every respect she does so in the opposite way．Her shopping is not often based on need．She has never fully made up her mind what she wants, and she is only“having a look round”．She is always open to persuasion：indeed she sets great store by what the saleswoman tells her, even by what companions tell her．She will try on any number of things．Uppermost in her mind is the thought of finding something that everyone thinks suits her．Contrary to a lot of jokes, most women have an excellent sense of value when they buy clothes．They are always on the lookout for the unexpected bargain．Faced with a roomful of dresses, a woman may easily spend an hour going from one rail to another, to and fro often retracing her steps, before selecting the dresses she wants to try on．It is a tiresome process, but apparently an enjoyable one．Most dress shops provide chairs for the waiting husbands．

1．What does a man usually do when he is buying clothes?

2．What does the passage tell us about women shoppers for clothes?

3．What does a man do when he can not get exactly what he wants?

4．Many jokes make fun of women shoppers by saying that

5．What is the most obvious difference between men and women shoppers?

Directions：Read the following passage．Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit

　　As the distance from Yellow Sky grew shorter, the husband grew more restless．As a matter of fact, Jack Potter was beginning to get very nervous．He, sheriff(司法执行官)of Yellow Sky, a man known, liked and feared, a well-respected person, had gone to San Antonio to meet a girl he believed he loved and there, after the usual prayers, had actually married her, without telling anyone in Yellow Sky．Because he knew everyone in the community would be surprised and shocked, he was not looking forward to bringing his bride back home．

　　Of course, people in Yellow Sky were free to marry, and the town often celebrate their marriages, but Potter, a bachelor(单身)of long standing, thought of his duty to his friends．He had promised to them he would remain a bachelor forever, but face to face with this woman in San Antonio, he had gone head over heels in love．Because no one knew him in San Antonio, he found it easy to get married．But now they were approaching Yellow Sky．

　　He knew full well that his marriage was an important thing in his town．The men in town would not forgive him．Frequently he had thought of telling them by telegraph, but even though as sheriff he had often faced the guns of offenders without fear, he was afraid to do it．And now the train was hurrying him towards his friends, who would laugh at him, curse him, and never drink with him again．

　　Knowing that soon the train would leave them standing by the tracks in Yellow Sky, he planned the trip from the station to his house．They would get to his home as fast as possible, so no one would see them．Then, once home, he would quietly go out alone, tell someone－anyone－the awful news, and retreat to his house to hide until the citizens got tired of talking about him and his new bride．
