The interview has been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well. Then, suddenly, the interviewer asks an unexpected question, "Which is more important, law or love?" Job applicants in the West increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this. And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.
Employers want people who are skilled, enthusiastic and devoted. So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicant will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are. In response, employers are increasingly using the questions which try and show the applicant’s true personality.
The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Kiersey Temperament Sorter. It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems, rather than what they know. This is often called aptitude test.
According to Mark Baldwin of Alliance, many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult. "When a Chinese fills out an aptitude test, he or she will think there is a right answer but they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see."
This is sometimes called the prisoner’s dilemma. Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest, but they fail because they don’t understand what the interviewer is looking for. Remember that in an aptitude test, the correct answer is the honest answer.
Questions 20 to 22 are based on the passage you have just heard.
20. What is the purpose of the passage?
21. What kind of workers do employers want to hire nowadays?
22. What do we know from the passage?
选项
A、Those who will work harder than others.
B、Those who know much more than others.
C、Those who are able to solve the problems.
D、Those who are better educated than others.
答案
C
解析
由短文中提到的It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems,rather thanwhat they know.可知,现在的雇主想雇用那些能解决问题的人,故答案为C)。解答本题关键是要听清rather than(而非)前后的内容。注意how和what所表达的含义是不同的。
