The best interview is one in which there is two-way communication between the employer and the job applicant. Often there is some "small talk" at the beginning of the interview, which is actually very important, because the applicant’s answers may indicate how easily the person can converse. A job seeker who appears unfriendly or unsociable may not be offered a position, even if the person is the most qualified. Employers look for people who seem to be likeable and easy to work with as well as technically competent. (29)
The first few minutes of the interview are very important when it comes to making a good impression. A smile and handshake are expected after the job applicant walks into the prospective employer’s office. In addition, the applicant must pay attention to certain areas related to personal appearance. During the interview, a supervisor or manager will ask the applicant questions that must be answered fully but without excessive detail. It is important to watch the employer’s face for nonverbal cues as to whether enough has been said. (30) Some people may have difficulty answering certain questions because of their cultural perspectives. In cultures where humility and modesty are virtues, the question, "what are your strengths?" could be embarrassing. In many cultures, like several Asian cultures, people are taught not to talk or boast about their individual accomplishments. (31)Yet, during an interview, an employer often wants the job applicant to talk about his or her accomplishments. In an American interview, applicants must learn to present themselves in the most positive light. This is a challenge for many people from other countries.
29. What can we learn from the passage?
30. How should the job applicant behave during the interview?
31. Why is it difficult for some Asians to give positive comments on themselves?
32. What’s the main point discussed in the passage?
选项
A、They are brought up in cultures where modesty is highly valued.
B、They think it is a shame to speak highly of their own culture.
C、They are challenged by people from other cultures.
D、The values of humility are looked down by those with higher status.
答案
A
解析
因果关系题。四个选项中有三个主语都是they,根据关键词cultures,other cultures,modesty,humility等,由此可以推测本题可能考查they与文化的关系。根据“In cultures where humility and modesty are virtues...people are taught not to talk or boast about their individual accomplishments.”可以得知,在以谦逊和谦虚为美德的亚洲文化里,人们不善于评价自己的优点,与选项A“They are brought up in cultures where modesty is highly valued.”同义,故正确答案是A。
