11、only 21, he says, and they agreed, if I could show a complete collection. So he went to the bank, borrowed 1,500 for materials, and began to work on new designs. The exhibition was fantastic. Although everyone else was much more experienced than I was, my designs were still praised. He decided to tr

12、ansfer his business to Canada and began to experiment with new materials: all sorts of stones from around the world, some totally new to him.

Interviewers find it useful to ask candidates about the way they behaved in difficult situations in the past, for example with an ang

17、ry customer or colleague. These questions allow applicants to explain how they acted in a real-life situation and, consequently, give clues as to how they would act again in similar situations. Candidates are likely to tell the truth as speaking from memory leaves little time to invent what happened

18、. On the other hand questions which ask candidates to imagine how they would behave in a situation which they have probably never met are of little or no value. This is because they only provide answers about how candidates would hope to behave, and this might not match the actions they would actual

19、ly take. In any interview candidates must be treated fairly, with questions asked in the same manner and with no candidates interview lasting considerably longer than any others. Candidates should always be given the opportunity to ask questions throughout the interview. Jan Godley, head of Human Re

20、sources at Aspley Supermarkets says: A company needs staff not only who have the right qualifications and experience, but also who are happy to fit in with the companys way of doing things. Our managers have to accept the idea that everyone working here is a colleague (managers are always known by t

21、heir first names), and that spending time actually in the store with colleagues and customers, rather than in their offices, is part of the job. For management posts, we organise pre-interview group exercises to measure team-working and leadership skills, sometimes along with activities to assess pe

22、rsonal qualities. In all our interviews we pay attention to body language. It is natural for candidates to show signs of being nervous at an interview but most relax after a few minutes and become more confident. However, if the nervousness continues until the end of the interview, especially when d

23、ifficult questions are asked, we would begin to have doubts about that candidate. Like all employers, we want to take on staff who are at ease with colleagues and customers so it is important to watch the way candidates behave, as well as listen to what they have to say. 23 According to the article,

24、 why are questions about a candidates past behaviour useful? （ A） They prove the candidate will act appropriately in different circumstances. （ B） They show the candidate can remember details of the situation. （ C） They demonstrate how the candidate might act in the future. 24 Why is asking candidat

25、es to imagine their reactions to a situation unhelpful? （ A） Candidates may have no experience of this situation. （ B） Candidates may act differently in the real-life situation. （ C） Candidates may never meet such a situation. 25 According to the article, （ A） candidates should ask questions at the

26、end of the interview. （ B） interviewers should ask all the candidates the same question. （ C） interviews should all last for roughly the same length of time. 26 What does Jan Godley say about the managers in her company? （ A） They must spend some time with customers in the store. （ B） They must know

27、 the first names of all their staff. （ C） They must spend most of their time in their offices. 27 Management applicants at Aspley Supermarkets are （ A） asked a number of questions about their personal qualities. （ B） assessed on their ability to work within a group. （ C） asked to say what leadership

28、 skills the job will require. 28 According to Jan Godley, how do candidates often behave at interviews? （ A） They show a lack of confidence at first. （ B） They are skilled at hiding their nervousness. （ C） They suddenly lose confidence when asked difficult questions. 六、 PART SIX 28 Bad news for bank
