Love, success, happiness, family and freedom----how important are these values to you? Here is one interview which explores the fundamental questions in life.

Question: Could you introduce yourself first?

Answer: My name is Misbah, 27 years old. I was born in a war-torn area. Right now I’m a web designer.

Q: What are your great memories?

A: My parents used to take us to hunt birds, climb trees, and play in the fields. For me it was like a holiday because we were going to have fun all day long. Those are my great memories.

Q: Does your childhood mean a lot to you?

A: Yes. As life was very hard, I used to work to help bring money in for the family. I spent my childhood working, with responsibilities beyond my age. However, it taught me to deal with problems all alone. I learnt to be independent.

Q: What changes would you like to make in your life?

A: If I could change something in my life, I’d change it so that my childhood could have taken place in another area. I would have loved to live with my family in freedom. Who cares whether we have much money, or whether we have a beautiful house? It doesn’t matter as long as I can live with my family and we are safe.

Q: How do your get along with your parents?

A: My parents supported me until I came of age. I want to give back what I’ve got. That’s our way. But I am working in another city. My only contact with my parents now is through the phone, but I hate using it. It filters(過濾) out your emotion and leaves your voice only. My deepest feelings should be passed through sight, hearing and touch.

In Misbah’s childhood,      .

A. he was free from worry              B. he liked living in the countryside

Dog walkers provide a 20 to 60-minute daily walk for a client’s（客戶）dog, making sure the dog answers the call of nature and gets proper exercise. They often walk more than one dog at a time. Some walkers work for dog-walking services, especially when starting out. Others have their own businesses, and build by word of mouth and advertising. Dog walkers often work part-time, and some provide other services like pet sitting or transporting.
In N.Y.C., dog walkers usually earn about $25 an hour. If you work for a dog-walking business, you may earn less-if you are on your own dealing with several dogs at the same time, it may be more.
What do you have to do to be a dog walker?
First, have a real love of dogs, and have a good knowledge of how to get on with dogs. Try calling dog-walking services to find out about openings. If you’re on your own, you’ll need to network and market yourself. You might advertise your services in pet offices, grooming businesses, or neighborhood papers. You will need business cards and a mobile phone, and have good references and a clean background. You’ll also have to deal with taxes and insurance. You should be physically fit, friendly, neatly dressed and extremely dependable. Many dog walkers are bonded（被擔(dān)保的）and insured, and this is a definite selling point to clients.
Of course, you will be cleaning up dog waste! You will also be outside in all kinds of weather. You may have to deal with dogs that don’t like each other ,and difficult owners. It’s also an up and down kind of business-clients can come and go.
For pet lovers, spending the workday with dogs instead of navigating office politics is its own reward! You are your own boss-you can dress casually, your doggy clients will love you unconditionally, and you’ll get some great exercise!
71. By writing the passage the writer tries to         .
A. introduce you to a job           B. enrich your knowledge about pets
C. advertise for a business         D. tell you more about life in New York
72. The passage offers no information about how to         as a dog walker.
A. find a client                    B. train a dog
C. get prepared                     D. make more money
73. One who wants to         may find the passage helpful.
A. take up a weekend job            B. keep a good pet dog
C. make money in his daily spare time  D. be a part-time office worker
74. The last paragraph but one (beginning with “Of course”) is meant to tell you         .
A. what dog-walking is like         B. why dog-walking is worth trying
C. the unknown part of dog-walking  D. the bad side of dog-walking
75. What does the underlined word casually in the last paragraph possibly mean?
A. as you like                      B. like a boss   
C. in a dog-friendly way            D. in nice clothes

Happiness is for everyone. You don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and a lot of money and so on. Why? Because those who have big houses may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads at their free time.

In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good

to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you.

Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like a revolving(旋轉(zhuǎn) ) door. When it closes, it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.

1. When you do something wrong, _______________.

A．you may correct it

B．you will have no chance to challenge yourself

C．a(chǎn)nybody will laugh at you

D．you will be happy

2. Which is TRUE according to the passage?

A．When you get success, your friends will be very proud of you.

B．You can get help from others when you make mistakes.

C．You can still be a happy person even if you have little money.

D．All the above.

3. Why do we say “Happiness is not the same as money”? Because _______________.

A．money always brings happiness

B．money doesn’t always bring happiness

C．everything can be bought with money

D．only rich people have happiness

4. Which is the title of the passage?

A．Do Something Good to Others

B．Happy and Lucky

C．Happiness

D．Life and Success

科目：高中英語 來源：2012-2013學(xué)年江蘇省如東縣高三12月四考英語試卷（解析版） 題型：其他題

請認真閱讀下列短文，并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一個最恰當?shù)膯卧~。  

注意：每個空格只填1個單詞。

Interviewing someone for a job is not as easy as it looks. First, as the interviewer, you're tasked with finding the person who will not only do the job well but also fit in well with the other employees.

You have to make an evaluation of abstract qualities that can't be found on a résumé. Because you have to repeat the process for every potential employee, you end up asking question after question, applicant after applicant.

Still, interviewers need to be told something，“What is your biggest weakness？” is not a good question. It just isn't.

Now, job seekers have to understand that interviewers want to find some way to know what makes an applicant different from others. Asking questions that are seemingly impossible to answer is one way to see who can think creatively. Then what may be a proper way to respond to such a question?

Honesty, with a twist(新手法)

“‘What are your three strengths and three weaknesses？’ is a classic,  but not too many people know how to answer this，” says Kenneth C. Wisnefski,  founder and CEO of WebiMax, an online marketing company.

“As an interviewer, we want to hear strengths that describe initiative(主動性), motivation and dedication. The best way to respond is to include these qualities into specific ‘personal statements’．”

“Similarly, weaknesses should be positioned as a strength that can benefit the employer.”

“I like to hear applicants state an exaggerated strength, and put an interesting twist on it. An example of this is, ‘My initiative is so strong, that sometimes I take on too many projects at a time.’”

This answer leads with a strength that employers want—initiative—and still acknowledges that you're not perfect.

Although you might consider this acknowledgement too honest, it works because it proves you're being honest.

Honesty, with progress

When you consider what your weaknesses are, think about how you have attempted to overcome them. No one is perfect, so pretending that you are a perfectionist will come across as insincere.

Debra Davenport, author of “Career Shuffle”， believes citing(引用) examples are the best approach.

“My preferred response for this question is to tell the truth without damaging the applicant's image.” Davenport explains.

“A better response might be, ‘I've had some challenges with work­life balance in the past and I realize that a life out of balance isn't good for me, my family or my employer. I've taken the time to learn better time and project management, and I'm also committed to my overall wellness.’”

The answer adds some dimension to the question, and proves you're thought beyond the answer. You've actually changed your behavior to address the situation, even if you haven't completely overcome the weakness.

Put yourself in the interviewer's shoes

However you decide to answer, Debra Yergen, author of “Creating Job Security Resource Guide”， recommends job seekers imagine themselves sitting on the other side of the desk.

“If you were doing the hiring, what would you be looking for? What would be your motivation for asking certain questions? Who whould you be trying to weed out? If you can empathize(共鳴) with the interviewer, you can better understand what they want and need, and then frame your qualifications to meet their needs for the position you seek.”

Once you consider what the goal of the question is and figure out what your honest answer is, you'll be able to give the best possible answer to a tricky question.

Job Interviews

Tasks for a job interviewer

☆ Find the person both doing the job well and (1)________ along well with other employees.

☆ (2)________ abstract qualities of applicants by asking one question after another.

(3)________ to interviewees for replying to a tricky question

☆ Understand that the interviewers want to (4)________ between applicants and that asking a question seemingly impossible to answer is one way to see an applicant's (5)________．

☆ Be (6)________ and inventive when asked about your weaknesses, and respond properly.

☆ Never (7)________ you are perfect, which may be believed to be insincere.

☆ Try to show that you've changed a lot (8)________ you haven't completely get rid of your weaknesses.

☆ Put yourself in the interviewer's shoes and have a better (9)________ of their needs for the job.

Conclusion

☆ With the goal of the question (10)________ into account and the honest answer in your mind, you will be able to give the best possible answer.
