Did you ever wonder how it is possible for us to recognize people? Even a skilled writer probably could not describe all the featur
9、es that make one face different from another. Yet a very young childor even an animal, such as a pigeoncan learn to recognize faces, we all take this ability for granted. We also tell people apart by how they behave. When we talk about someone“s personality, we mean the ways in which he or she acts,
10、 speaks, thinks and feels that make that individual different from others. Like the human face, human personality is very complex. But describing someone“s personality in words is somewhat easier than describing his face. If you were asked to describe what is “a nice face“ looked like, you probably
11、would have a difficult time doing so. But if you were asked to describe a “nice person“, you might begin to think about someone who was kind, considerate, friendly, warm, and so forth. There are many words to describe how a person thinks, feels, acts. Gordon Allport, an American psychologist, found
12、nearly 18,000 English words characterizing differences in people“s behavior. And many of us use this information as a basis for describing, or typing, his personality. Bookworms, conservatives, military typespeople are described with such terms. People have always tried to “type“ each other. Actors
13、in early Greek drama wore masks to show the audience whether they played the villain“s (坏人) or the hero“s role. In fact the words “person“ and “personality“ come from the Latin persona, meaning “mask“. Today, most television and movie actors do not wear masks. But we can easily tell the good guy fro

But the advantages of testing are not going to change the attraction of the interview to employers. The appeal of the
19、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 test to aid the selection process, but we usually pick a candidate who interviews well, has good qualifications and
20、an impressive work record. But suppose the candidate lies or is less than completely honest, “This can be a serious problem of employers,“ examine Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruitment. “The most difficult liars to find are those who tell half-truths rather than complete lies.“ Researc
21、h 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 of employment and job descriptions that seem strange. “Focusing on these areas will force candidates
22、 to tell the truth or become increasinglydishonest. This is usually when people signal their anxiety by their body language. Sweat on the upper lip, false smiles and nervous hand movements all indicate discomfort.“ Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policystyle interview technique, but insists th

27、this week, newcomers might think the locals have been celebrating Christmas for centuries. Christmas may not be a customary holiday in China, but businessmen in Shanghai know it will bring something more valuable than tradition: people willing to spend money. Most Chinese may feel little connection
28、with the Christmas celebration, but with most shops offering discounts (折扣), the message couldn“t be clearerit is the season to part with one“s hard-earned cash.

29、i“s 13 million locals, regardless of personal interest, there seems no avoiding the season“s commercial (商业的) greetings.

30、arriving in the city for work, young Shanghainese, eager to keep pace with the latest Western fashions, have begun to show their interest in Christmas.
