　　Scottish men and kilts

　　Generally men do not wear skirts．But the Scottish native costume (服装样式)for men is a kind of skirt．It's called kilt(有褶短裙)．The Scottish like to be different．They are also proud of their country and its history, and they feel the kilt is part of that history．That's why the men still wear kilts at old-style dances and on national holidays．They believe they are wearing the same clothes that Scottish men always used to wear．

　　That's what they believe．However, kilts are not really so old．Before 1730, Scottish men wore a long shirt and blanket around their shoulders．These clothes got in the way when the men started to work in the factories．So in 1730, a factory owner changed the blanket into a skirt：the kilt．That's how the first kilt was made．

　　Then, in the late 1700s, Scottish soldiers in the British Army began to wear kilts．One reason for this was national feeling．The Scottish soldiers wanted to look different from the English soldiers．The British Army probably had a different reason：A Scottish soldier in a kilt was always easy to find!The Scottish soldier fought very hard and became famous．The kilt was part of that fame, and in the early 1800s, men all round Scotland began to wear kilts．

　　The British policemen

　　The British policemen have several nicknames．But the most popular are“copper”and“bobby”．The first name comes from the verb “cop”meaning to“take”or“capture”．and the second comes from the first name of Sir Robert Peel, a 19th century politician, who was the founder of the police force．An early nickname of the policemen was “peeler”, but this name has died out．

　　Visitors to England seem, nearly always, to be very impressed by the English police．In fact, it has become a joke that the visitor to Britain, when asked for his views of the country, will always say, at some point or other, “I think your policemen are wonderful．”

　　Well, the British bobby may not always be wonderful but he is usually a very friendly and helpful character．

　　There was a music-hall song of some years ago called“If you want to know the time, ask a policeman”．Nowadays, most people own watches but they still seem to find plenty of other questions to ask the policemen．In London, the policemen spend so much of their time directing visitors about the city that one wonders how they ever find time to do anything else!

The first is what I would call the traditional interview．This is usually just a series of standard questions about qualifications, work experience and expectations．So what you have here is basically a list of quite direct questions, like what duties did you have in your previous job．This is still the model for a lot of interviews today．In my view it's not the best to select staff．

Then there is the case interview．Here the interviewer presents a problem and a series of questions to find out how the candidate would approach the problem．It might go something like this, ‘A company wants to hire more graduates without spending more than its current budget．What would you advise them to do? ’This can be particularly challenging, for you need to analyze the problem and solve it．

The third type is known as the behavioral interview．The questions are usually designed to find out about how the candidates handle tricky situations in the past．A typical question might be ‘Can you give me an example of a situation where you had to follow orders that you didn't agree with? ’ This opens up a lot of information and the interviewer gets to see more of the candidate．

M：OK, go ahead．

W：I don't think the peace guardian will be big enough．We need a center that can seat at least 600．

M：That many? Any suggestions?

W：The Palace Center will be free that day, but it will mean increasing the registration fee by ＄50．From ＄800 to ＄850．

M：That won't be a problem．Anything else?
