Simple living doesn’t mean that you give up your job and start living in the countryside, but it means that we spend our time, energy and efforts on important things in life. It can be good for us in some ways.
Firstly, simple living can keep your mind peaceful. It makes sure that unnecessary things are out of your life and you concentrate on the real factors that affect the quality of life. Through simple living you can see the positive side of life and won’t feel jealous and greedy.
Secondly, simple living can make you have time for your loved ones. Most of us become so busy in our lives that we forget to spend time with our dear ones. People who believe in simple living value the time spent with their loved ones.
Thirdly, simple living is helpful in the improvement of health. By choosing to be simple, you feel less stressed in daily life. Simple living gives you a new view on things and helps you join in creative activities. It allows you to devote some time to recreational activities（娱乐活动）, physical exercises, etc., which help you in leading a healthy lifestyle.

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。
小题1: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.
小题2: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.
小题3: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.
小题4: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.
小题5: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.
