    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 Kiersey 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 （窘境）．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．

    1．What is the purpose of the passage?

        A．To give a piece of advice for job interviewees．

        B．To tell you how to deal with job interviews．

        C．To advise you how to find a good job．

        D．To describe an aptitude test．

    2．Now employers want to hire workers ________．

        A．who know much more than others               B．who will work harder than others

           C．who are able to solve the problems        D．who are better educated than others

    3．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         D．find out what the examiner wants to know

    4．From the passage we know that ________．

           A．job applicants are always asked such questions

         B．applicants should not act as cleverly as possible

         C．more Chinese applicants fail to find a job

           D．aptitude test is becoming world-wide popular

         However important school life may be, we can't ignore the fact that children spend more time at home
    than in the classroom.Therefore the great influence of parents can't be ignored or discounted by the teacher.  They can become strong supports of the school or they can consciously or unconsciously prevent the
    school from accomplishing its aims.
         Administrators have been aware of the need to keep_parents_apprised_of the newer methods used in
    schools.Many principals have conducted workshops explaining such matters as the reading readiness
    program and developmental math.
         Moreover, the classroom teacher can also play an important role in explaining to parents what they
    should do.The informal tea and many interviews carried on during the year, as well as new ways of
    reporting pupils' progress, can significantly aid the interchange of ideas between school and home.
         Suppose that a father has been drilling Junior in arithmetic processes night after night. In a friendly
    intervie  w, the teacher can help the parent change his method.He might be persuaded to let Junior
    participate in discussing the family budget, buying the food, using a measuring cup at home, setting the
    clock, calculating mileage on a trip and engage in scores of other activities that have a mathematical basis.
         If the father follows the advice, it is reasonable to assume that he will soon realize his son is making
    satisfactory progress in math and at the same time, enjoying the work.
         Too often, however, teachers' conferences with parents are devoted to unimportant accounts of
    children' s wrongdoing, complaints about laziness and poor work habits, and suggestions for punishments
    and rewards at home.
         What is needed is a more creative approach in which the teacher, as a professional advisor, plants
    ideas in parents'minds for the best use of the many hours that the child spends out of the classroom.In
    this way, the school and the home join forces in fostering the fullest development of youngsters'
    competence.
    1. The underlined phrase"keep parents apprised of"in Para.2 probably means to let parents________.

    A. judge  
    B. know
    C. design  
    D. develop

    2. What is the purpose of the schools' informal tea and interviews?

    A. To improve the relationship between teachers and parents.
    B. To explain to parents the change of the school curriculum.
    C. To report students' misdoings and suggestions for punishments.
    D. To help develop good communication between school and home.

    3. Why does the author provide the example in Paragraph 4?

    A. To help parents know the importance of home activities.
    B. To show how the teacher can guide in home training.
    C. To prove parents are nonprofessional advisors.
    D. To advice parents to teach kids math at home.

    4. From the passage we learn that the author________.

    A. thinks teachers should do better as professionals
    B. is worried about children' s performance at home
    C. is satisfied with the present state of school education
    D. believes time spent out of the classroom has been wasted
