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’s degree in electric engineering went through the difficult process of applying for a job and was shortlisted. In the final stage she faced an oral test together with another girl who was her equal not only in good looks but also in education.
The girl we talk about was confident in herself and successful in the oral test. It seemed she would get the chance. At last the examiner asked her, “Can you come to the office next Monday?” Shocked by the unexpected question, the beautiful girl was quite at a loss, and said with hesitation, “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 them that her parents had agreed to let her begin work next Monday. But the examiner said regretfully, “Sorry, the position has been filled by another suitable candidate. You had better try 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 right under the nose of a beautiful girl slipped away.
51. Why did the beautiful girl want to ask her parents for advice?
A. Because she felt a little nervous in applying for the job.
B. Because she didn’t want to let her parents down.
C. Because she didn’t expect the examiner would ask such a question.
D. Because her parents would scold her if she agreed without their permission.
52. It can be inferred from the passage that .
A. the other girl who failed at the last oral test most likely got the job
B. it was hard to make a right decision
C. the company lost its best employee
D. the examiner was surprised at his first choice
53. What did the examiner value most?
A. A candidate’s beautiful looks. B. A candidate’s knowledge.
C. A candidate’s quick mind. D. A candidate’s independence.
54. What’s the best title of this passage?
A. Make decisions quickly. B. Use your own judgment.
C. Seize your chance in time. D. Answer the examiner’s question without hesitation.
