16、ing on interviews for employment. Years of studying interviewing have made it clear that it is not a very objective(客观的) process. Personnel officers often hire the person they like best, or even the one they think most physically attractive. Looking good is no guarantee(保证) of doing the job well, ho
17、wever. Uglies or those who are aesthetically(审美地)challenged, lose heart.To get a more objective view, many companies are also using psychological tests to hire both for relatively daily jobs and for positions at senior levels of management. It is impossible to say how many employers use tests, but e
18、stimates of test sales in the UK for 2004 were over 1.5 million.The basic reason employers use tests is clear: tests claim(声称) to be scientific and objective. A large body of research has shown that interviews by themselves are not very reliable as a method of selection. Peoples judgements are often
19、 very subjective: whether they like the look of someone counts for more than almost anything else. But reliable and valid(有效的) effective tests can offer rapid and more objective information about a would be employee. If a candidate talks well in an interview but his test results suggest that he is a
20、 careless person who cannot concentrate, an employer is likely to think twice about hiring him.Taking a serious test for a job is rather different from taking a game-like test. You can spend just a little in answering questions of that kind of test, and you deny the answers and say they are not accu
21、rate. But you cannot go to a serious test without enough preparation since you can not afford to be denied and removed again and again.9. In the past, who would be sure to be employed after an interview?A. The person who was well educated.B. The person who had great abilities.C. The person who was p
22、hysically attractive.D. The person who was appreciated by the personnel officers.10. According to the passage, the underlined part those who are aesthetically challenged in the first paragraph refers to those who are _.A. thought to be goodlooking B. most likely to do the job wellC. not attractive f
23、or their appearances D. given the job of interviewing the candidate11. Many companies use psychological tests _.A. to take the place of interviewsB. to select senior level clerksC. to make the employment difficult for candidatesD. to gel really reliable and fair information about candidates12. From
24、the last paragraph, we can conclude that while taking a serious test for a job, _.A. you can not treat it as a game B. you can deny the answersC. you can say the answers are not accurate D. you neednt make much preparation四、任务型阅读Since the beginning of human evolution, men have migrated(迁移)across con
25、tinents in search of food, shelter, safety, and comfortable weather. People still move for these reasons, but new reasons for human migration are arising, such as job relocation(重新安置) and overpopulation. Three million migrants are moving from poor countries to wealthier ones each year, and increasin
26、gly, their destination is a neighboring country in developing parts of the world. People are moving within the developing world for the same reasons as they migrate to wealthier nations. People from poor countries are going to less poor countries, fleeing wars and conflicts. They are also responding
27、 to population pressures because some countries are densely populated, and they often have high population growth. Those people need to go somewhere else. There are three main reasons why people move. The basic categories and percentages are as follows, according to the Current Population Surveys (C
28、PS): Family-related reasons account for 26.3%, including changes in marital(婚姻的)status, establishing a household and other family reasons; work-related reasons 16.2%, including job transfer, retirement, and other job-related reasons; housing-related reasons 51.6%, including new and better houses, be
29、tter neighborhood, cheaper housing and other housing reasons; the remaining 5.9% of other reasons are attending college, the change of climate and health reasons. Americans have been migrating south and west for decades in search of better job opportunities and warmer climates. They have also been m
30、oving to places a little far from cities, in search of bigger yards and houses, lower crime rates and better schools. In 1950, nearly a fifth of the population lived in the nations 20 largest cities. In 2006, it was about one in ten. Thats why many American people say, “Big Cities Shrink as People M
31、ove South, West.” Between March 2005 and March 2007, 73.4 million Americans moved. Fifty-six percent of these moves were within the same country. Twenty percent were between counties but in the same state. Nineteen percent were moves to a different state. Some families even went abroad. Title: Peopl
