13、A READING COMPREHENSION 25 MIN.In this section there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four TEXT A It often happens that a number of applicants with almost identical qualifications and experience all apply for the same position. In their educational backgrou
14、nd, special skills and work experience, there is little, if anything, to choose between half a dozen candidates. How then does the employer make a choice? There are many arguments for and against the interview as a selection procedure. The main argument against it is that it results in a wholly subj
15、ective decision. As often as not, emplyers do not choose the best candidate, they choose the candidate who makes a good first impression on them. Some employers, of course, reply to this argument by saying that they have become so experienced in interviewing staff that they are able to make a in fav
16、our of the interview and it is, perhaps, a good argument is that an employer is concerned not only with a candidate s ability, but with the suitability of his or her personality for the particular work situation. Many employers, for example, will overlook occasional inefficiencies from their secreta
17、ry It is perhas true to say, therefore, that the real purpose of an interview is not to assess the assssable aspects of each candidate but to make a guess at the more intangible things, such as personality, character and social ability. Unfortunately, both for the employers and applicants for jobs,
18、there are many people of great ability who simply do not interview well. There are also, of course, people who interview well tend to be quietly confident, but never boastful; direct and straightforward in their questions and answers; cheerful and friendly, but never over-familiar; and sincerely ent
19、husiastic and optimistic. Candidates who interview badly tend to be at either end of the spectrum of human behaviour. They are either very shy or over-confident. They show either a lack of enthusiasm or an excess of it. They either talk too little or never stop talking. They are either over-66.We ca

In Britain alone, about HK$3,000,000 s worth of goods are stolen from shops ev
22、ery week. This amounts to something like HK$150 million a year, and represents about 4 per cent of the shops total stock. As a result of this “shrinkage ” as Shop-lifters can be divided into three main categories: the professionals, the deliberate amateur, and the people who just cant help themselve
23、s. The professionals do not pose much of a problem for the store detectives, who, assisted by closed circuit television, two-way mirrors and various other technological devices, can usually cope with them. The professionals tend to go for high value goods in parts of the shops where security measure

When caught, all are liable to prosecution, and the decision whether to send for the police or not is in the hands of the store In order to prevent the quite incredible growth in ship-lifting offences, some
27、 stores, in fact, are doing their best to separate the thieves from the confused by prohibiting customers from taking bags into the store. However, what is most worrying about the whole problem is, perhaps, that it is yet another instance of the innocent majority being penalized and inconvenienced b
