Question

【題目】How to Shine at a Job Interview

The smart job seeker needs to get rid of several standard myths about interviewing before starting to look for a job. 【1】

Myth 1: The aim of an interview is to obtain the job offer.

Only half true. The only aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want. 【2】 Unfit job seekers, however, become so used to meeting employers' expectation that they often easily accept jobs that they don't want. So before you work for an employer, be sure you want the job.

Myth 2: Try to control the interview.

Nobody “control” an interview - neither you or the interviewer - although one or both parties often try. Then it becomes a fake exchange between two human beings; no business deal is likely to be made. Remember, you can't control what employers think of you, just as they can't control what you think of them. So hang loose when interviewing: 【3】

Myth 3: 【4】

Study the effective conversationalists: They interrupt and were interrupted. An exciting conversation always makes us feel, free - free to interrupt, free to disagree ? to agree enthusiastically. We feel comfortable with people who allow us to be natural. Employers will either like or dislike you, but at least you will have made an impression. And the way to make an effective impression is to feel free to be yourself, which frees your interviewers to be themselves.

Myth 4: Always be well groomed and dress yourself fashionably.

Only half true. 【5】 However, some interviewers might not appreciate the way you “decorate” yourself or, possibly, the positions you are applying for would require more reserved personalities, which, to some interviewers, can be revealed from your appearance. Therefore, the more cautious solution would be to keep to the happy medium - neither appear too “modern” nor too “conservative”.

A.Never interrupt the interviewer.

B.It is good to appear clear and neat or well-groomed when you go to an interview.

C.Thus, the job seeker finds an ideal job.

D.Never dominate the interview.

E.That often means rejecting the job offers you don't want.

F.You are expected to respect each other.

G.Here are some untruths and tips to help you do your best at your interview.

【3】D

【4】A

【5】B

【解析】

這是一篇說明文。文章主要闡述了如何在面試中出眾，并且給出了4條建議。

【1】根據文章中的四個小標題，Myth 1: The aim of an interview is to obtain the job offer. Myth 2: Try to control the interview. Myth 3…Myth 4: Always be well groomed and dress yourself fashionably. 可知，這里是一個總起句，用來引出下面四個標題。G. Here are some untruths and tips to help you do your best at your interview. (下面是一些錯誤的觀念和技巧來幫助你在面試中做到最好。) 符合語境。故選G項。

【2】根據前文The only aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want. (面試的唯一目的就是得到你想要的工作。) 又根據下文Unfit job seekers, however, become so used to meeting employers' expectation that they often easily accept jobs that they don't want. So before you work for an employer, be sure you want the job. (然而，不合格的求職者變得如此習慣于滿足雇主的期望，以至于他們往往很容易接受自己不想要的工作。所以在你為雇主工作之前，一定要確定你想要這份工作。)可知，你要找到你真正想要的工作，你就要拒絕你不喜歡的工作。不能為了滿足雇主的期望，接受自己不喜歡的工作。E. That often means rejecting the job offers you don't want. (這通常意味著拒絕你不想要的工作機會。) 這是一個承上啟下的句子。符合語境。故選E項。

【3】根據第三段中Remember, you can't control what employers think of you, just as they can't control what you think of them. (記住，你不能控制雇主對你的看法，就像他們不能控制你對他們的看法一樣。) 可知，不要去想著控制面試過程，要放松。D. Never dominate the interview. (不要主導面試。) 既是對主題的呼應，又是對前句So hang loose when interviewing的闡述。符合語境。故選D項。

【4】根據第四段中Study the effective conversationalists: They interrupt and were interrupted. An exciting conversation always makes us feel, free - free to interrupt, free to disagree, to agree enthusiastically. (研究高效的談話者：他們會打斷別人，別人也會打斷他們。一場激動人心的談話總是讓我們覺得，可以隨意打斷，可以隨意提出異議或者完全同意。)可知，面試是需要互動，不要太過于拘束。A. Never interrupt the interviewer. (決不能打斷面試官) 這是一種錯誤的想法，作為小標題。符合語境。故選A項。

【5】根據后文However, some interviewers might not appreciate the way you “decorate” yourself or, possibly, the positions you are applying for would require more reserved personalities, which, to some interviewers, can be revealed from your appearance. (然而，一些面試官可能并不欣賞你“裝飾”自己的方式，或者，你申請的職位可能需要更多的個性保留，這在一些面試官看來，可以從你的外表看出來。) 可知，你的精心打扮可能不符合申請職位，這一點面試官是從你的裝扮上看出來的。根據句中的However可知，前面一句和這一句之間存在轉折關系。B. It is good to appear clear and neat or well-groomed when you go to an interview. (當你去面試的時候，讓自己看起來干凈整潔是很好的。) 符合語境。故選B項。
