根据短文内容，从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括一段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余项。
Nowadays more and more foreign enterprises and companies are no longer relying on interviews for recruitment(招募). Years of studying interviewing has made it clear that it is not a very objective process. Personnel officers often hire the person they like best or even the one they think most physically attractive. Looking good is no guarantee of doing the job well.
To get a more objective view，many companies are also using psychological tests，to hire both for relatively routine job and for positions at senior levels of management. It is impossible to say how many employers use tests，but estimates of test sales in the U．K.for 2001 were over one million.
Recruitment can involve steps in two ways. Step 1 is always the same：job application. The company decides whether you might be suitable based on your qualifications and your previous job experience. Step 2 can be screening. A specific test is given at this stage to rule out those who might not be worth interviewing. Some large employers use tests—especially IQ based tests precisely to eliminate the unsuitable. Only those who pass Step 2 go to the interview. Step 2 can also be testing and interview combined. If the company thinks you might be suitable after looking at your application，they ask you to come to be tested and to be interviewed. It is seen very much as part of the same step.
Tests claim to be scientific and objective. A large body of research has shown that interviews by themselves are not very reliable as a method of selection. People's judgments are often very subjective：whether they like the look of someone counts for more than almost anything else. But reliable and valid tests can offer rapid and more objective information about wouldbe employees. If a candidate talks well in an interview but his test results suggest that he is a careless person who cannot concentrate，and employer is likely to think twice about hiring him.
Taking a serious test for a job is rather different from taking a gamelike test. You can spend just a little time answering questions of that kind of test，and you can deny the answers and say they are not accurate. But you can not go to a serious test without enough preparation since you can not afford to be denied and eliminated again and again. What can you do to do justice to yourself in tests？Here are three tips：Understand，Analyze，Practice.

下面文章中有5个段落需要添加首句。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E和F）选出适合各段落的首句，并在答题纸上将相应选项的标号涂黑。选项中有一项是多余选项。
A. Time can run out.
B. Tomorrow won't be better.
C. Ideas need time to develop.
D. Your professor will be impatient.
E. You blow off your chances for help.
F. You are probably overestimating （高估）the pain.
Never Put off Tomorrow What You Can Do Today
Want to put off studying for the physics test? Or writing that thirty-five-page research paper on future uses of biotechnology? Sure you do? And who wouldn't? But it's still a silly idea to put off doing something until a future time. Here is why ....

1．

. The task will be still the same. It won't be any more fun and you still won't want to do it. As the deadline gets closer and closer, the task seems to become larger and larger if you haven't started the work. And the stress increases. Now not only do you have to write that paper, you have to do it under great pressure.

2．

. Before you start, it seems that the task is unlikely to be accomplished. But you know what? You're probably miscalculating. Get started -------- maybe on a small piece ------ And you will discover that you have more resources and know more about the subject than you thought. Result? You won't experience nearly as much suffering as you expected to. Things are guaranteed ------ 100 percent ------- to get better.

3．

. If you leave your work before the night before it's due, you give up the possibility of getting input from your professor. Professors regularly give advice ----- or at least a few useful tips ---- during office hours. Unfortunately though, they don't usually hold office hours at midnight, so you will be out of luck when you discover the night before the midterm that you have no idea how to do the questions that will count for two-thirds of your grade.

4．

. Ever wonder why the professor assigns the papers two weeks before it's due? It's because he or she expects you to be thinking about the issue, or doing the research, for two weeks. No, not every waking moment, but at least some of the time. After all, the professor could just as easily have given the assignment one week before it was due if he or she expected less thinking. When you throw together a paper or a report at the last minute, your ideas are half-baked. And your professor will know it.

5．

. If you put things off at the last minute, you might find that you haven't budgeted enough minutes to finish the necessary tasks. It's the easiest thing in the world to miscalculate how long it will take to do all the work especially when new issues arise ------ like illness, family problems, computer breakdowns, trouble at work, and all the other things ------- as you are thinking through your paper argument or preparing yourself for the coming test. If you keep delaying, you don't allow yourself time for those various life events that have an adverse(不利的) effect on your ability to complete your assignment.

Acts of terrorism have been a reality in many places for years. Terrorism scares everybody because no one knows when or where it will take place. So how do you deal with it all? Here are some things you can do:
Give yourself a fear reality check.    Even though your chances of being in an attack are very small, the images you see on TV or online make terrorist attacks seem close by.
Share your feelings. Anger, sadness, fear, and numbness are some of the reactions you might have.   Just talking and sharing your feelings with your parents, friends, teachers, and others can help them and help you.
Take care of yourself.  As much as possible, try to get enough sleep, eat right, exercise, and keep a normal routine. It may be hard to do, but it can keep you healthy and better able to handle a tough time.
Limit the time you spend watching the news.  But spending hours watching the news reports can make you feel more anxious and sad.
You may have heard certain countries, religions, or political causes blamed for terrorism. But very few people believe in killing and hurting innocent(无辜的) people to make their point. Don’t give in to prejudice by blaming a whole group, or disliking people just because of the country where they were born, the faith they practice, the way they dress, or the color of their skin.

A．Be respectful of others.

B．Do something to stop terrorism.

C．It’s good to be informed about what’s happening.

D．Terrorism may not happen everywhere around the world.

E. Don’t be embarrassed or afraid to express how you feel.
F. It’s normal to be worried about your safety and your family’s safety.
G. Losing sleep, not eating, and worrying too much can make you sick.

B．My dad taught me how to play basketball. Now I am a professional player at basketball. Although I sometimes didn’t play well, my dad always encouraged me not to lose heart. Now I have a dream of being able to play basketball on the Celtics. I love my dad!

C．The most important thing that my dad ever taught me was “Never do anything halfway”. He always told me to do my best to show my ability and character. “It shows what kind of person you are,” my dad would say. “People will remember and respect you for that.”

D．My dad has taught me love, hope, respect and the value of hard work. He has taught me never to be afraid; he has taught me the value of a job well done; he has taught me how to ride a bike, then to drive a car. He always tells me that he believes in me and that I can manage to deal with the things around me.

E. My dad and I have a funny company called “Priority”. He has taught me how to take care of the pool (Priority Pool), how to plan family birthday parties (Priority Parties), and how to clean the computer (Priority Computers). The list goes on. I’m proud of my dad and grateful for my time with him. We have a lot of fun doing daily housework together.

A． Drop-Bar Road Bikes

Generally lighter in weight than the typical mountain or comfort bike，road bikes are good for multiple pavement uses including fitness riding，commuting，long-distance/event rides，touring and racing．
Drop-bar handlebars are lightweight and aerodynamic and are a better choice if you want to go faster or are more concerned with efficiently transferring your energy into making the bike move forward． They also allow for a greater number of riding and hand positions than flat-bars．Their more aerodynamic riding position (bent over at the waist) may put more strain on your back if you are less flexible．
B． Flat-Bar Road Bikes

Flat-bar handlebars combine the efficiency of drop-bar road bikes with a slightly more upright riding position．This allows you to sit up in a higher and more relaxed position so you can better see the road and potential risks．An upright position also reduces strain on your hands，wrists and shoulders．This increased versatility comes with the tradeoff of being slightly less efficient (from an aerodynamic standpoint) than the typical drop-bar road bike．
C． Hardtail Mountain Bikes

Mountain Bikes are best for dirt or rocky trails and gravel roads; they are OK for pavement too (with tire change)．
Hardtail bikes feature a front suspension fork and a rigid back with no rear suspension shocks．This type of mountain bike is much less expensive and lighter in weight than a typical full-suspension mountain bike．A hardtail is the more versatile choice if you plan to use it for both paved and unpaved surfaces．The tradeoffs from a full-suspension mountain bike? A hardtail is less able to safely handle more technical singletrack trails，provides less overall shock absorption and，in some situations，delivers less rear wheel traction．
D． Full-Suspension Mountain Bikes

Full-suspension mountain bikes have both front and rear suspension shocks making them ideal for backcountry trails or technical (steep，bumpy，twisty) singletrack．They also stand up to more aggressive riding including jumps or drops of up to 5 feet．As mentioned above，full-suspension bikes are more expensive and generally heavier than hardtail bikes．
E．Folding bikes

These bikes can be folded up and placed in a carrying bag，which makes them handy for commuters with limited storage space at home or the office．They are lightweight yet strong and can be folded up quickly and easily．Folding bikes are also a good choice for those who want to travel with their bike．
F．Electric-assist bikes

These bikes feature a battery-powered motor that can help you climb hills easily or make your commute less strenuous．Built-in sensors can monitor how much pressure you're putting on the pedals and then apply battery power accordingly．
以下是一些用户信息，请把图片与相关介绍匹配起来。
Tom is a bike lover．He wants to buy a road bike that can go fast on the road． Speed is important but it is more important for him to see the road and stay safe，since the road on which he rides is often full of traffic．
Jack is an office worker．Every day he goes to work by subway．There is still a long way from where he lives to the subway station，so he decides to buy a bike，which can be easily put at home，on the subway train and his office．
Peter loves making long-distance journey by bike．When travelling，he has to climb hills or ride on rocky trails，which makes him too tired to go．He wants to continue his journey even when he is tired，but he doesn’t want to travel by car or ride his motorbike．
Mark is a bike enthusiast who often rides in the mountainous areas．Unfortunately，his bike was damaged when he was riding on the mountain．Now he is going to buy a new mountain bike．Being a rich man，Mark doesn’t care about the price of the bike，but it must be tough and flexible enough to jump and drop on the mountain road．
Jim needs a new mountain bike that can be ridden on both paved and unpaved surfaces．It doesn’t need to be too expensive．He hopes to buy a bike that is lighter in weight than a typical full-suspension mountain bike

Five Simple Ways to Increase Your Intelligence
Your brain needs exercise just like a muscle. If you use it often and in the right ways, you will become a more skilled thinker and increase your ability to focus.
Here are 5 simple ways anyone can squeeze a bit more productivity out of the old gray matter.
_______– This is a hard sell. People love vegetating in front of the television, myself included more often than I’d like. The problem is watching television doesn’t use your mental capacity OR allow it to recharge. It’s like having the energy sapped out of a muscle without the health benefits of exercise.
When you feel like relaxing, try reading a book instead. If you’re too tired, listen to some music. When you’re with your friends or family, leave the tube off and have a conversation. All of these things use your mind more than television and allow you to relax.
_______ – I used to think that I’d learn more by not exercising and using the time to read a book instead. But I realized that time spent exercising always leads to greater learning because it improves productivity during the time afterwards. Using your body clears your head and creates a wave of energy. Afterwards, you feel invigorated and can concentrate more easily.
_______– Many people like to read popular suspense fiction, but generally these books aren’t mentally stimulating. If you want to improve your thinking and writing ability you should read books that make you focus. Reading a classic novel can change your view of the world and will make you think in more precise, elegant English. Don’t be afraid to look up a word if you don’t know it, and don’t be afraid of dense passages. Take your time, re-read when necessary, and you’ll soon grow accustomed to the author’s style.
________– Nothing makes it harder to concentrate than sleep deprivation. You’ll be most rejuvenated if you go to bed early and don’t sleep more than 8 hours. If you stay up late and compensate by sleeping late, you’ll wake up lethargic(无精打采) and have trouble focusing. In my experience the early morning hours are the most tranquil and productive. Waking up early gives you more productive hours and maximizes your mental acuity(敏锐) all day.
If you have the opportunity, take 10-20 minute naps when you are hit with a wave of drowsiness. Anything longer will make you lethargic, but a short nap will refresh you.
________ – Often our lives get so hectic that we become overwhelmed without even realizing it. It becomes difficult to concentrate because nagging thoughts keep interrupting. Spending some time alone in reflection gives you a chance to organize your thoughts and prioritize your responsibilities. Afterwards, you’ll have a better understanding of what’s important and what isn’t. The unimportant stuff won’t bother you anymore and your mind will feel less encumbered.
Conclusion – I hope you aren’t disappointed that none of the techniques I’ve proposed are revolutionary. But simple, unexciting answers are often the most valid. The challenge is having the will to adhere to them. If you succeed in following these 5 tips, you’ll be rewarded with increased mental acuity and retention of knowledge.
