If you have prepared yourself well, the interview will most likely nm smoothly and you will present yourself confidently.As soon as you are invited to attend an interview, start researching facts about the company, such as the number of persons the company employs, specific fields in which it is involved. Work for which it is particularly well known, its major products and services, location of branch offices, and the company's involvement in community activities. Such knowledge can be extremely useful during the interview, because it permits you to ask intelligent questions at appropriate places—questions that indicate to the interviewer that you have done your homework.You also need to prepare for difficult questions an interviewer may ask to test your readiness for the inter- view and the sincerity(真诚)of your application. You may be asked: 1) Why do you want to join our organization? 2) How do you think you can contribute to our company? 3) Why do you want to leave your present employer? 4) What do you expect to be doing in five years? Ten years?If you have not prepared for such questions, and so hesitate before answering, an interviewer may interpret your hesitation to mean you find a question difficult to answer or there are factors you would rather to hide. In either case, you may inadvertently(非故意地)provide an entirely misleading impression of yourself.36.

The 5 questions or unfinished statements are numbered 41 through 45.Advertising informs consumers about new products available on the market. It gives us information about everything from toothpaste to computers and cars. But the "information" it provides is actually very often "misinformation". It tells us the products' benefits but hides their disadvantages. Advertising not only leads us to buythings that we don't need and can't afford, but it also confuses our sense of reality.Advertisers use many methods to get us to buy their products. One of their most successful methods is to make us feel dissatisfied with ourselves and our imperfect lives. Advertisements show ns who we aren't and what we don't have. Advertisements make us. afraid that people won' t like us if we don' t use the advertised products.If fear is the negative(消极的)motive for buying a product, then wanting a good serf-image is the positive reason for choosing it. Each of us has a mental picture of the kind of person we would like to be. Advertises get psychologists to study the way consumers think and their reasons for choosing one brand instead of another. These experts tell advertisers about the motives of fear and self-image. They also inform them about recent studies with colors and words.Many people believe that advertising does not affect them. They know that there is freedom to choose. Unfortunately, they probably don't realize the powerful effect of advertising. They may not understand advertisers spend billions of dollars each year on aggressive(过分的)competition for our money, and they are extremely successful.41. What's the purpose of advertising?A. To introduce people the feature of the goods.B. To have people buy new products on the market.C. To make people know how to use the products.D. To tell people how to save money while buying goods.42. One of the disadvantages of advertising is to ______.A. lead people to buy bad-quality thingsB. make people confused about choosing goodsC. make people buy more things than neededD. inform people of the products' benefits43. Advertisement may make people think that ______.A. their lives are not good enoughB. their behaviors are imperfectC. they don' t have enough money to buy thingsD. they look poor without buying advertised goods44. What can psychologists tell the advertisers?A. The reasons for bad sale of some goods.B. What brand is better than others.C. How to control the qualities of goods.D. People's opinions about current colors.45. It is implied in the last paragraph that those who don't believe advertising ______.A. should refuse to buy goodsB. may also be influenced by advertisingC. have more freedom to buy things than othersD. can save money without buying the advertisedTask 3Directions:After reading the following introduction to the course on First Certificate in English, you are required to complete the outline below it (No. 46 through No, 50).

For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A , B, C and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.The holiday shopping season got off to a flying start over the Thanksgiving (感恩节)weekend in the U. S. Retailers(零售商)attracted discount-hungry consumers with specials (物价商品) of televisions, DVD players and other gifts. Discounters like Wal-Mart and Target had the greatest success, offering customers early bird specials, while major department stores and clothing chains only met modest sales goals. Online sales were also strong."It was as expected, it wasn't a source of great prosperity, but it was a good start," said Nevill, amah in a US retail consulting firm. He said, "One thing we often heard was that only things marked down(降价) were selling. Consumers want a bargain, especially around the holiday." Shoppers did seem to like the many markdowns. A lady in the State of Connecticut said, "I've never seen so many sales. I feel like a kid in a candy store."Nevill estimated that discounters had a 4% gain over last year's Thanksgiving figure, while sales at de- patient stores and mall-based clothing chains were up 2% for the weekend. However, the Thanksgiving weekend is not necessarily a good way to judge how retailers will be successful for the season. Over the past few years, the weekend accounted for less than 10% of sales.Online merchants also had a good weekend. Sales were up 61% last Friday, compared to the day after Thanksgivinga year ago.36. Over the Thanksgiving weekend, people bought a lot more than usual because ______.A. Wal-Mart and Target offered birds as giftsB. shopping was the major weekend activityC. people had time to go shopping onlineD. they were allowed special discounts37. Retailers have the experience that consumers seem to ______.A. feel eager to buy discounted goodsB. be hungry for special kinds of goodsC. like to buy new DVD players as giftsD. be interested in major department stores38. From the context we know that Wal-Mart and Target are the names of two ______.A. food storesB. large retailersC. online servicesD. clothing chains39. By saying "I feel like a kid in a candy store," the lady in Connecticut probably means that ______.A. she has difficulty choosing from such a wide variety of goodsB. she cannot decide whether she should buy some candyC. she is quite interested in buying candyD. she recalls her happy childhood days40. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the-passage?A. Online sales were 61% higher than retailers.B. Online merchants had an average weekend sale.C. Retailers lost much profit because of the discounts they offered.D. Retailers had an increase in sales in the Thanksgiving weekend.Task 2Directions:This task is the same as Task 1.

The idea is that after being presented with a word or expression the reader can see how it is used by reading two or more clear examples. Each example contains at least one word or even two or three which have beenstudied on earlier pages.Information on Newly-published BooksName of the series: 46Number of the books: 47Intended readers: 48 students studying EnglishPurposes: 1. to enlarge the students' everyday 49 of English2. to help understand the meaning of practical, everyday expressionsContent: a collection of 50 used every day in various situationsTask 4Directions: The following is part of a list from a book on WTO.

There are 5 tasks for you to fulfil. You should read the reading materials carefully and do the flasks as you are instructed.Task 1Directions:After reading the following passage, you will find 5 questions or unfinished statements, numbered 36 to 40. For each question or statement there are 4 choices marked A , B , C and D. You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.The human body has developed its millions of nerves to be highly aware of what goes on both inside and outside of it. This helps us adjust to the outside world. Without our nerves and our brain, which is a system of nerves, we couldn't know what's happening. But we pay for our sensitivity. We can feel pain when the slightest thing is wrong with any part of our body. The history of torture(折磨) is based on the human body being open to pain.But there is a way to handle pain. Look at the Indian fakir (苦行僧) who sits on a bed of nails. Fakirs can put a needle right through an arm, and feel no pain This ability that some humans have developed to handle pain should give us ideas about how the mind can deal with pain.The big thing in withstanding pain is our attitude toward it. If the dentist says, "This will hurt a little," it helps us to accept the pain. By staying relaxed, and by treating the pain as an interesting sensation (感觉), we can handle the pain without falling apart.
