四. 阅读理解判断 （共10题,共20分）
1. Have you ever found yourself completely disgusted by your own performance during a job interview? I have, and it was all my own fault. Here’s my worst job interview experience, along with some of the lessons I’ve learned since.
    Several years ago I wanted to be a federal officer. So I applied for several job openings, went through written tests and even managed to get an interview. I was very excited and felt prepared for anything. When I went in for the interview, I felt almost invincible.
   That feeling lasted until they started asking me for specific examples of experience, particularly those dealing with teamwork and communication. My job at the time was almost all teamwork, yet, I blanked on examples. I lamely answered those questions by explaining that my previous job required teamwork and communication all the time without any detail.
   In my experience, most interviewers will ask for a specific example at some point and they want to know exactly how you dealt with the issue. You’d better go over some examples concerning your abilities before the interview and this might help you avoid going blank on those questions.
   Another question they asked was, “What is your biggest weakness?” I gave the overused, canned answer of, “I’m a perfectionist, and it’s such a problem.” However, the old “make your weakness sound like strength” trick is clichéd, and failed me miserably. I actually saw one of my interviewers roll his eyes.
   Interviewers don’t want to hear that you’re a perfectionist. Too many people say that. Here’s how that works: Regardless of the job, think of a skill you have, but aren’t great at, that may be related but not important to the position you’re seeking. Explain how you want to improve and what you’re doing. It shows your desire to grow, along with an understanding that you’re human.
   There will always be questions that can rattle you during the job interview, but as long as you are well-prepared and always remain true to yourself, you will find the right job eventually! （10分）

2. A professor stood before his class and had some items in front of him. When the class began, he wordlessly picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with golf balls. He then asked the students if the jar was full.
   They agreed that it was.
   The professor next picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up everything else. He asked once more if the jar was full.
   The students responded with a unanimous “yes”.
   The professor then produced two Beers from under the table and poured the entire contents into the jar effectively filling the empty space between the sand. The students laughed.
   “Now,” said the professor as the laughter subsided, “I want you to recognize that this jar represents your life. The golf balls are the important things: your family, your children, your health, your friends and your favorite passions. And if everything else was lost and only they remained, your life would still be full. The sand is everything else — the small stuff like your job, your house and your car. If you put the sand into the jar first, there is no room for the golf balls. The same goes for life. If you spend all your time and energy on the small stuff you will never have room for the things that are important to you. Pay attention to the things that are critical to your happiness. Take care of the golf balls first — the things that really matter. Set your priorities. The rest is just sand.”
    One of the students raised her hand and inquired what the Beer represented.
    The professor smiled and said, “I’m glad you asked. The Beer just shows you that no matter how full your life may seem, there’s always room for a couple of Beers with a friend.” （10分）

五. 阅读理解选择 （共20题,共40分）
1. “Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life”, said Confucius. Everyone wants to come back home and sleep stress free after a whole day’s work. So what are the jobs which provide the greatest satisfaction? Here’s a list of the most satisfying professions across the globe.
    Author: It is one of the professions that allow you to express your views without much limitation. Words are a powerful expression of thoughts that can stir all the emotions. And one of the biggest advantages of being an author is living a new life every single day in a world of their own.
    Artist: The people working in this field are the most happy of all. This is the profession that proves how job satisfaction and money are the two sides of the same coin. Creativity, flexibility and freedom are all available for an artist. When an artist is lost in the universe of imagination, the rest of the world is missing out.
    Psychologist: Being one of the most wonderful careers on the planet, psychology uncovers the mysterious sides of a human’s life. The amount of joy received from uncovering the reasons behind one’s attitude is simply beyond words to explain. It is a job that requires a lot of patience, but patience pays off.
    Teacher: Teaching is one of the noblest professions and earns a lot of respect. The process of showing a path to someone, to enlighten a soul, and to make them self-aware leads to a close bond with each other. And this is also the profession with maximum job security, even at the time of recession.
    Social Worker: To find happiness in someone else’s happiness, to improve the quality of one’s life, to safeguard their rights and to support them through difficult times is the work of a social worker. Needless to say, the amount of satisfaction derived from extending a helping hand to those in need provides satisfaction that can not be matched at all. （10分）
