听力原文：Interviewer: Can you still remember the thrill of it？ I mean the first time you actually ride out there, out in front must be ...

Man: Yeah, yeah, it was certainly a big thrill, but it was an evening event. It was the last race and it was almost dark by the time we'd finished and when I got home it was about ten or eleven o'clock, so there was very little time to think about it or do anything. And I had to be up at about half five the next day for my job, so unfortunately it was straight back to work really.

A．He found it rather disappointing.

B．He didn't have a chance to celebrate.

C．He was too tired to care.

听力原文：M: The smart job－seeker should rid herself of several standard myths about interv

听力原文：M: The smart job-seeker should rid herself of several standard myths about interviewing before she really starts job-hunting. The following talk lists some of these untruths and offers some tips to help you succeed at your next interview. The first myth is that the aim of interviewing is to obtain the job you want.

This is only half correct. The real aim of an interview is to obtain the job you like; and it also implies turning down the job offer you don't want. The reason for some job-seekers'failure is that they become so used to meeting employers'expectations that they often take up the job they don't really want.

The second one, always please the interviewer is also not true. Instead of pleasing the interviewer, you should please yourself. You'll get nowhere if you try to give answers that will suit a potential employer without considering your own feelings. Of course, don't be hostile.

Nobody wants to hire someone disagreeable.

Take a middle ground between being too agreeable and being hostile. An effective interview is like an exciting encounter in conversation with your seatmate on an airplane.The next myth is to try to control the interview. Nobody "controls" an interview,neither you nor the interviewer. Actually, it is an exchange of two parties, like making a telephone call. So hang loose when interviewing., never dominate an interview. The fourth myth is never to interrupt the interviewer. An exciting conversation always makes us feel free-free to interrupt and show different opinions. So when interviewing, try to be relaxed and natural.

The last myth, don't disagree with the interviewer is another silly myth. If you don't disagree at times, you consent in fact. Don't hesitate to disagree with your interviewer in an agreeable way. And also feel free to change your mind.

Questions 16-22

？Look at the notes on how to succeed in a job interview.

？Some information is missing.

？You will hear part of a presentation by the advisor from a job advising center.

？For each question 16-22, fill in the missing information in the numbered space using one or two words.

？After you have listened once, replay the recording.

听力原文：M: Are you looking forward to your job interview tomorrow？

W: I'm a bit nervous about it. When you interview people, what do you look for？

M: Well, a lot of people think it's about your qualifications and experience, but actually they aren't so important in the interview.

W: Really？ Why not？

M: Well, your qualifications and experience have already been listed on your CV and in your cover letter. The interviewer might want to know how you think your previous experience relates to the job offer, but...

W: I see. So what's the main purpose of the interview？

M: The interviewer wants to see what kind of person you are and decide whether you will fit in with the other employees. The interviewer wants to see if you have the right personality for the job.

W: You also have to give the right answers to their questions.

M: Usually, there are no "right" answers. Obviously, you don't want to say anything silly, but each question can be answered in different ways. The important thing is to be articulate.

W: Articulate？

M: Yes. Communication skills are valued by almost all employers nowadays. A person who can express themselves clearly and successfully is considered a real asset.

W: Why's that？ Surely communication skills can't outweigh qualifications and experience.

M: Good communication skills are vital because if there are breakdowns in communication, it would cost the company time and money. Communication skills might not outweigh qualifications and experience, but as I've said before, the interviewer has already seen those on your CV.

W: So, you mean your CV shows you have the qualifications and experience and gets you into the interview room. After that, other factors take over — particularly communication skills and your personality.

M: Right.

W: I was always told that the way you look is a key factor, too.

M: Well, of course you should always look smart, clean, and fairly formal. Whatever some people say, the way you look does create an impression on others.

W: I'll be sure to wear my best outfit then!

Questions 19 to 22 are based on the conversation you have just heard.

19. What does the interviewer want to know during the interview？

20. What will happen if you do not give the right answers to questions during the interview？

21. Why are good communication skills important for companies？

22. What is more important in a job interview according to the conversation？

(23)

A．If you are punctual.

B．If you are not lying on your CV.

C．If you are experienced.

D．If you have good communication skills.

听力原文：If you are going to create a TV show that plays week after week, it needs an acto

听力原文： If you are going to create a TV show that plays week after week, it needs an actor who can play a believer, you know, a person who tends to believe everything. Tonight in our show we have David Duchovney, who has starred in the popular TV series, The X-Files. Thanks to his brilliant performance in the TV series, David has become one of the best-known figures in the country. Interviewer: Good evening, David, I'm so glad to have you here.

David: It's my pleasure. Thank you for inviting me on the show.

Interviewer: David, have you often been on the radio shows？

David: Oh, yes, quite often. To be frank, I love to be on the show.

Interviewer: Why？

David: You know, I want to know what people think about the TV series and about me, my acting, etc.

Interviewer: OK, David, let's first talk about the character you played in The X-Files. The character, whose name is Mulder is supposed to be a believer. He deals with those unbelievable, wild and often disastrous events. He must be, I mean, Mulder, someone who really believes in the things he meets in order to keep on probing into those mysteries.

David: That's true. Remember those words said by Mulder. What is so hard to believe？ Whose intensity makes even a most skeptical viewer believe the paranormal and our rigorous government conspiracies, without every reason to believe that life in the persistent survey is driving us out of our territorial sphere, etc.

Interviewer: I believe, I guess, David, your contribution to the hot series is quite apparent. Now let's talk about your personal experience. From what I have read, I know that starting from your childhood, you were always a smart boy, went to the best private school, and were accepted at most of the Ivy League colleges. Not bad for a low middle class kid from a broken family on New York's Lower Eastside. It's even more surprising when you, who were on your way to a doctorate at Yale to took a few acting classes and got beaten by the book.

David: You bet. My mother was really surprised when I decided to give up all that in order to become an actor.

Interviewer: Sure. But talking about Mulder, the believer in The X-Files, what about you, David？ Do you believe at all in real life, the aliens, people from outer space, you know, UFOs, government conspiracies, all the things that the TV series deal with？

David: Well, government conspiracies, I think, are a little far fetched. Because I mean, it's very hard for me to keep a secret with a friend of mine. And you can tell me that the entire government is going to come together and hide the aliens from us？ I find that hard to believe. In terms of aliens, I think they are real. They must be.

Interviewer: So you could believe in aliens？

David: Oh, yeah.

Interviewer: The character you played in The X-Files, Fox Mulder, is so dark and moody. Are you dark and moody in life？

David: I think so. I think what they wanted was somebody who could be this hearted, driven person, but not behave that way and therefore be hearted and driven but also appear to be normal and not crazy at the same time. And I think that I could, I can, I can afford that.

Interviewer: What haunts you now？ What drives you now？

David: What drives me is failure and success and all of those things, so ...

Interviewer: Where are you now？ Are you haunted and driven, failed or successful, which？

David: Yeah, both.

Interviewer: All of the above？

David: I always feel like a failure.

Interviewer: Do you mean now you feel like a failure？

David: Yeah, I mean, sometimes you know, like I come back to New York, so it's like, everything is different. So I lie on bed and think, two years ago, three years ago, very different. Maybe I'm doing well, but then I think, you know there are just so many other things that I want to do and...

Interviewer: Your father and mother divorced when you were eleven. Does that have effect on your life to

A．He had excellent academic records at school and university.

B．He was once on a PhD program at Yale University.

C．He received professional training in acting.

D．He came from a single-parent family.

听力原文：Interviewer:With us today is Steve Thomas, a 23 year-old chef who delights TV aud

听力原文：Interviewer: With us today is Steve Thomas, a 23 year-old chef who delights TV audiences with his imaginative cooking programme. Steve, what's the secret of your success？

Steve: Well, I think I'm different from other TV chefs in that I want people to see how I prepare a dish from the word go, so I don't present them with a dish that's half prepared already. If anything should go wrong during the programme, know, suppose something gets burned, well, that's part of the experience. When they try preparing it themselves, then they'll see the beauty of the finished product, but not on the screen.

Interviewer: So how did you come to get your own TV series？

Steve: I was working in a restaurant called the Gala in December last year when they came to make a documentary about the place. I didn't even look at the camera.I was too busy making pasta and cooking fish. But the producer spotted me and the following week they phoned me to offer me a job... The Gala owner wished me all the best and let me go without a complaint.

Interviewer: Wow!! Now, is it true that you come from a family of cooks？

Steve: Well, you could say that ... I started cooking at the age of eight. My mum and dad have a restaurant and Dad used to do all the cooking back then. My mum was too busy looking after us ... Dad insisted that if I wanted some money, I should work for it. And it seemed a lot more interesting to help out in the kitchen and see how things were made than to earn my money washing Dad's car ...

Interviewer: You attended a catering course at college. How did you like that？

Steve: At school I wasn't very good at anything much. At that time, my mind wasn't on anything other than cooking. I found sitting in a classroom trying to pay attention to things very very trying. I managed to get to college though and there I was fine, because when it came to the actual cooking, I knew what I was doing. I realised that a bit of academic work didn't do you any harm either and I found it much easier when I was interested in the subject, and so I've no regrets, really.

Interviewer: And now you have a TV programme and several cooks working under your orders. How do you get on with them？

Steve: Oh, I love working with them. But on my programme everyone has to be really special. They need to have gone through college training before they even apply for the job. I suppose the problem is that fairly frequently I tend to raise my voice if they don't work emciently ... but I'm just as likely to praise them if they do well ... What I say to them is, you want the audience to say we are the best, so we need to make a special effort ...

Interviewer: Is there any chef celebrity that you admire especially？

Steve: I definitely think that Ron Bell is the best, and I'm pleased that he's now got his own food column in a newspaper. I had the great privilege of working with him for a while. What's so special about him is that he's always been enthusiastic about using ingredients that come from the area where he works ... For example the fish of the day would be the catch from the river close to his restaurant. He's been criticised for sticking to old-fashioned recipes, maybe that's a weakness, but I think that's his decision ...

Interviewer: I heard that you are also going to write a book.

Steve: Yes, I’m writing it at the moment. It may disappoint readers who expect a lot of glossy pictures, as most cookbooks nowadays seem to be things to look at rather than read ... I've gone for a style. that may be less attractive with fewer colour pictures but it will be more useful for most types of reader. What I say in my book is that we must remember the success of a meal does not depend on how it looks ... it's what it tastes like and the company of the friends you'll share it with that matters ...

Interviewer: Well, thank you, Steve, I look forward to trying some rec

A．the process of cooking.

B．amusing incidents.

听力原文：M: (interviewer): Good Morning, nice to meet you, Carry and John. Do sit down.

M: (John Chambers) / F: (Carly Fiorlua) :Thank you,

M: (interviewer): You've both been able to develop strong effective cultures. Cisco's been able to hire a 1, 000 employees a quarter even during the peak of the war for talent. And both of you enjoy an unusually low turnover levels, despite being located in a mobile Silicon Valley, What do you do to recruit and retain the employees who will best fit into the culture you're trying to cultivate and to weed out those who don't？

F: (Carly Fioriua): I think the thing that Hewlett-Packard has always been wonderful at is the loyalty of its employees. What we were not so good at is dealing with employees who were not performing up to par. And so one of the changes we've had to make is to get much more focused about what is an acceptable level of performance. And if that performance is not occurring, then we have to act with that employee. We have to coach them to better performance, we have to put them in a job that is more suited to their skills; or if beth of those things fail, we have to help them find another opportunity and let them depart with dignity, but let them depart. And se that's really been the focus we've historically been very good at attracting people. And interestingly, people have come to Hewlett-Packard not just because of technology, but also because of the company's values. They like what the company stands for. That's turned out to bo a competitive advantage for us, and I think the same thing is true of John and his company.

M: (John Chambers): I would agree. I think HP has the strongest culture in the valley and much of it very, very good. Keeping the culture is probably the most challenging thing we face, so we literally put it on the board for everybody, in terms of what the culture it along with the three to five year goals and one year objectives. And then you've got to reward people in terms of the culture that you're creating, but it's more important to have them in a nurturing environment that has the right culture. And it's amazing how powerful that is in retaining employees and attract them—particularly the ones that you want.

M: (interviewer): In terms of staying in touch with employees, I want to ask you both about this, but I want to start with you because you've got something called these birthday breakfasts. Tell us... I mean, it seems so astonishing to me that you could pull this off in a large company, but I don't want to be inaccurate, so you tell me what you do.

M: (John Chambers): Well, it again starts with what you are trying to accomplish and this is just one of the tactics that you use. And the birthday breakfasts are the most effective way we interface to our employee base. Once a month, if you have a birthday in that month, you get to come and grill the president for an hour and a half. And any topic is fair, we don't invite directors or VPs to come, and it's my best way of keeping the fingers on the pulse of what's occurring. Every session I learn two or three things that I did not know going in, and when you hear the question again and again and again from one session to the next, it means that you're not answering effectively or your answer was wrong.

M. (interviewer): You're on his board, right？

F: (Carly Fiorina): Yes.

M: (interviewer): Do you like this idea？

F: (Carly Fiorina): Yea, I think...

M: (interviewer): I mean, do you have a version of this？

F: (Carly Fiorina): Yep, I think what the principle that John is outlining which is absolutely critical is leadership cannot become disconnected from customers, disconnected from employees. Every time I visit a city, I go and spend ti
