11、es of testing are not going to change the attraction of the interview to employers. The appeal of the interview has everything to do with the human factor.Most people believe that they are a reasonable judge of character and trust their instinctive feelings. We might use some kind of teat to aid the
12、 selection process, but we usually pick a candidate who interviews well, has good qualifications and an impressive work record.But suppose the candidate lies or is less than completely honest. “This can be a serious problem for employers,“ examine Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruitment.
13、 “The most difficult liars to find are those who tell half-truths rather than complete lies.“ Research shows that up to 75 percent of resumes are inaccurate on purpose. The most common practice is omission.Interviewer should therefore concentrate on areas of uncertainty such as gaps between periods
14、of employment and job descriptions that seem strange. “Focusing on these areas will force candidates to tell the truth or become increasingly dishonest. This is usually when people signal their anxiety by their body language. Sweat on the upper lip, false smiles and nervous hand movements all indica
15、te discomfort.Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policy-style interview technique, but insists that close inspection of a resume is absolutely essential. Only by asking the right questions can you confirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressure on those who are being less than completely
16、 honest.21. The best title of this passage can beIAI How to catch out the dishonest CandidateBI How to Find a Job by TricksICI Disadvantages of Job InterviewsID Advantages of Job Interviews22.

What is the authors attitude towards job interviews?A Most objective BI Too subjective IC Suspicious ID CredulousOur world is wonderful with
19、 birds that are absolutely amazing and unbelievable. One kind of such birds is the coot-a clumsy bird so unloved that its name implies something of an old fool. “The bird has a remarkable ability to recognize and count eggs,”says behavioral ecologist Bruce Lyon of the University of California at San
20、ta Cruz. Coots need to be tricky because of the unusual way the animals compete：one coot will put its eggs secretly into anothers nest to trick the host into raising the invaders eggs. But nest owners use their wits to fight back, Lyon finds.Over four summers, Lyon monitored 400 coot nests near Will
21、iams Lake in central British Columbia, tagging the eggs with a marker. OF these, 160 coot nests received eggs from unrelated coots. The hosts generally were not fooled, however. About half the time, coot parents rejected the strange eggs completely, usually by burying them deep in the nest. “Foreign
22、 eggs were not disappearing by chance - and that can only mean the birds were recognizing them,“ Lyon says. Apparently, the coots were alerted by the unfamiliar colors and patterns on the foreign eggs. In other cases, the parents pushed the foreign eggs to an unfavorable position at the border area
23、of the nest, where there is less heat for hatching.Even if a mother coot didnt remove the foreign eggs from her nest, she continued to lay a normal hatch number of her own eggs, despite the apparent extra foreign eggs. Lyon thinks that means the coots somehow kept a count of both their own eggs and
24、the suspicious ones, “That coots can distinguish their own eggs from the foreign ones is a rare but very convincing example of counting in a wild animal world, the ecologist concluded.26. The meaning of the birds name “coot probably isIAI wonderful and amazing BI unusual and remarkableIC secret and

32、n on the crew to have people up here that are not doing science or conducting experiments that are productive. This is a workplace, a laboratory, a research facility,“ he said.Space Adventures Chief Eric Anderson said he could not disclose what Shuttleworth was paying for the trip, but added that a
