A famous foreign company that invested in China wanted to employ a reception secretary for its public relation department.

A beautiful girl with a master degree in electric engineering became a winning candidate(候选人) through the difficult process of employment. At its last stage she faced an oral test together with another girl who was her equal not only in good looks but also in education standard. The girl we talk about was confident in herself and successful in the oral test. It seemed that she would get the chance. The examiner told her on behalf of the company that she could come to office of company next Monday as a new employee. At last he asked her, “Have you anything else to say? Shocked by the unexpected question, the beautiful girl was quite at a loss, saying with hesitation(犹豫不决),”“I have to talk with my parents before I give an answer.”Surprised, the examiner said calmly,“In that case, let’s wait till you are ready.”

The next day the girl came to tell that her parents agreed to her beginning work next Monday. But the examiner said regretfully,“Sorry, the job position is filled by another suitable candidate. You had better have a try in another place.”The beautiful girl was surprised. She asked for an explanation and was told,“What is needed here is a person who knows her own mind.”

That was how a good opportunity slipped away right under the nose of a beautiful girl.

What did the examiner value most?

A．One’s beautiful looks. B．One’s knowledge.

C．One’s young age. D．One’s independence.

It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

A．the other girl who failed at the last oral test was most likely to get the job

B．another girl chosen in next test held the company

C．the company lost its best employee

D．the examiner was surprised at his first choice

Why did the beautiful girl want to ask her parents for advice?

A．She didn’t know what to do.

B．She couldn’t answer the question.

C．She hadn’t expected the examiner would ask such a question.

D．Her parents would scold her if she agreed without their permission.

The best title of this passage probably is ________.

A．Make your decision quickly B．Have your own judgment

C．Seize your chance in time D．Hesitation leads to failure

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　One of the most fascinating questions about human behavior is that each person is different from all others．The answer to this question would explain the aspect of human nature called personality．Some theories assume that inborn characteristics determine human personality．Many observers have hypothesized that each person has a dominant temperament, present from birth, that influences his or her behavior during an entire lifetime．According to one of these theories, people can be classified into four basic types： sanguine, choleric, phlegmatic and melancholic．Each type or temperament is characterized by a unique set of possible strengths and possible weaknesses．

　　Sanguine people are described as the most outgoing of the four temperaments．They are warm, fun－loving, and like the company of others．Because of these strengths, it is said that sanguines often make good salesmen, actors, or public speakers．Sanguines, however, may have some serious weaknesses．Their problem often come from their lack of discipline．Easily distracted, they often lack the concentration to complete a job or other people may not trust them．

　　Choleric people, are quite different from the carefree, emotional sanguines．Because of their strong will, decisiveness(果断), and productivity, cholerics are natural leaders who are good at making vast plans and motivating other people to help them carry out their plans．They are often successful in business, industry, or politics．Choleric weaknesses can be very damaging, however．Because a strong desire to lead, they can be cruel and cold towards those who do not wish to follow．They often do not listen to advice from others, and once they make a decision, they may became hostile towards anyone who questioning that decision．

　　Phlegmatics are calm, easy－going people who strive for efficiency and organization．Very diplomatic and polite, they make people feel comfortable and generally help keep things running smoothly．For these reasons, they make good teachers, technicians, etc．Phlegmatics, however, often have weaknesses that keep them from becoming successful．Afraid to take chances, they may avoid taking any steps to improve their position in life．

　　Melancholics are often considered to be gifted persons who possess creative talent．They are very analytical and able to understand complicated processes and to note detail．These people can make good doctors, scientists, artists, writers, and musicians．Melancholics are also said to be loyal, idealistic and self－sacrificing．However, melancholics frequently make themselves miserable because they tend to be negative and critical, and put up inflexible standards．They attach importance to everything they do, so they worry too much and see problems everywhere, and complain too much．They often become disappointed because neither they nor the people around them can live up to their high standards．

　　Explaining human personality in terms of innate temperaments is a theory that has not been generally accepted by psychologists．They criticize it for being too simplistic and unscientific．This may be so：however, present－day psychologists have been unable to formulate a single theory．

(1)

The word “dominant” probably means ________．
[　　]
A．	primary
B．	great
C．	minor
D．	insignificant

(2)

What are said to be the most important feature of Choleric people?
[　　]
A．	Cruel but sympathetic．
B．	Decisive and cold．
C．	Hostile and fun－loving．
D．	Strong－willed and polite．

(3)

Who are likely to be rejected by a bright－future project?
[　　]
A．	Cholerics．
B．	Sanguines．
C．	Melancholics．
D．	Phlegmatics．

(4)

What is a problem of Sanguines?
[　　]
A．	others may not trust them
B．	They courage to take chances
C．	They don't listen to other's opinions
D．	they often complain
