The interview has 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 love?”
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 who are skilled, enthusiastic and devoted. So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicant will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are. In response, employers are increasingly using the questions which try and show the applicant’s true personality.
The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Kersey Temperament Sorter. It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems, rather than what they know. This is often called aptitude（天资）test.
According to Mark Baldwin of Alliance, many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult. “When a Chinese fills out an aptitude test, he or she will think there is a right answer but 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 the honest answer.
What is the purpose of the passage?

 Now employers want to hire workers_______.

 According to the writer, in an aptitude test, Chinese
job applicants should_______.
A. not tell the truth
B. offer a complete answer
C. learn to tell what they really think
find out what the examiner wants to know
 From the passage we know that_______.

It was a village in India. The people were poor. However, they were not unhappy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.
Then one day. Some visitors from the city arrived. The told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog’s legs. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other place.
This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were no use to the villagers. All they had to do was catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. For the first time, the people were able to dream of a batter future. But the dream didn’t last long.    
The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops were not doing so well. More worrying was that the children fell ill more often, and, there seemed to be more insects around lately.
The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides(杀虫剂) and medicines. Soon there was no money left.
Then the people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job---eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.
Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.
From paragraph I we learn that the villagers __________.

Why did the villagers agree to sell frogs?

What might be the cause of the children’s sickness?

What can we infer from the last sentence of the text?

D
Thousands of people began pouring into Pennsylvania from other states.
They wanted to buy lottery tickets (彩票). The tickets cost only $ 0.9
each. But that small spending could bring them a reward of $ 90 million
.That was the second largest lottery jackpot (积累奖金) in history .  
More than 87 million tickets were bought for the Pennsylvania lottery
drawing. Those who bought tickets had to choose seven numbers from 1 to
80．The chance of winning was one in 9.6 million, but that little
chance certainly didn’t affect ticket sales. In the last few days
before the drawing , tickets were selling at the unbelievable rate of
500 per second .  
Experts say many people buy lottery tickets because they just want to
have a piece of the action . Others say the lottery is a stock market
for poor people. It allows them to dream about wealth they’ll probably
never have.  
But many people believe lotteries are no better than legalized (合法化
的) gambling . Some critics note that most people who play are poor and
may not be able to afford the tickets. There are also many addicts who
take the game seriously. They may pour their life savings into lottery
tickets. Some clubs have been formed to help them kick the habit.
Politicians like lotteries because they provide money that would
otherwise have to come from new taxes. The profits from lotteries are
usually used to pay for education or programs for senior citizens. But
critics say this arrangement just allows states to legalize vice (恶
习), under the name of social progress . No matter whether you regard
state lotteries right or not, you cannot refuse to accept their extreme
popularity with many Americans.
They main idea of the passage is that __________.  

Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?  

In just one hour in the last few days, the Pennsylvania lottery
sold tickets totaling_______.

When difficult people express themselves orally, they generally want at least two things: they’ve been heard and they’ve been understood should be a good listener, five steps are advocated toward good listening.
The first step is cooperating（合作）. How does a difficult person know that you’ re listening and understanding? In fact, it’s through the way you look and sound while he is talking. You may help him to fully express his thought and feelings. You do this by nodding your head in agreement, making certain sounds of understanding.
When the person begins to repeat what’s been said, it’s signal of step two: turning back. It means that you repeat back some words he is using, sending a clear signal that you’re listening carefully and that you think what he is saying is important.
Having heard what he has to say, the next step is clarifying. At this point, you start to gather information about what is being communicated. Ask some open-ended questions, which will allow you to figure out what intention he is hoping to satisfy.
The fourth step is to summarize（概括） what you’ve  heard. This allows you to make sure that both you and the difficult person are on the same page. When you do this, two things happen. First, if you’re missed something, he can fill in the details（细节）. Second, you’ve  shown that you’re making an effort to understand completely. This increases the possibility of gaining cooperation from him.
Having listened carefully, you’ve now arrived at the point of confirming with the person that he feels satisfied that his thoughts have been fully voiced. Ask if he feels understood.
When enough sincere listening, questioning, and remembering are brought together, understanding is usually achieved and a difficult person becomes less difficult and more cooperative.
