3、iment of Frederick II in the 13th century it may be. Hoping to discover what lan guage a child would speak if he hears no mother tongue, (2)_ he told the nurses to keep silent. Today no such drastic deprivation exists as that or dered by Frederick. Furthermore, some children are (3) _ still backward

4、 in speaking. Most often the reason for this is that the mother is insensitive to the cues and signals of the infant, which brain is programmed to (4)_ mop up language rapidly. There are critical times, it seems, when children learn more readily. If these sensitive periods are neglected, the ideal t

5、ime for ac quiring skills passes away and they might never be (5)_ learned so easily again. Linguists suggest that speech milestones are reached in fixed sequence and at a constant age. But there are cases which speech has started late in a (6)_ child who eventually turns up to be of high IQ. Recent

6、 (7)_ evidence suggests that an infant is born with the capacity to speak. But speech has to be triggered, and this de pends on interaction between the mother and the child, where the mother recognizes the cues and signal (8)_ in the childs babbling, grasping, crying, smiling, and responds to it. In

7、sensitivity of the mother to these (9)_ signals dulls the interaction because the child gets dis couraged and sends out only obvious signals. Sen- (10)_ sitivity to the childs non-verbal cues is essential to the growth and development of language. 1 (1) 2 (2) 3 (3) 4 (4) 5 (5) 6 (6) 7 (7) 8 (8) 9 (9

This is not only a matter of having the necessary technical knowledge and skill. You must also (1)_ have the motivation, the ability to adopt to new (2)_ ways of

9、working and a new work environment, and the personality to do the job and fit into a new team. But there are other personal skills affect your success in a (3)_ job. These include getting on with people, orally and (4)_ written communication, team working, problem sol ving and good time management.

10、Most people think mat interviewers know what they are looking for and will recognize when they see (5)_ it. However, people are actually not very good at as sessing one and another. This applies to recruiters as (6)_ much as anyone else. In fact, a former head of selection at one big firm used to sa

11、y that “some interviewers are so poor they would do better to rely on chances“. In companies which recognize this, various me thods are used to try to find the correct person. The (7)_ most common is the structured interview. Research has shown that this approach is more reliable than the ordinary j

12、ob interview, though not as affective as using (8)_ tests or assessment centers. In a structured interview the interviewer groups the qualities listing in the job (9)_ specification under various headings. There are two well-established structures for this: the National Institute of Industrial Psych

13、ologys Seven-Points Plan and the Five- Fold Grading System. The interviewers score candidates against how well they fit in the job specification.

14、il late 1998. But growing public concern over their supposed environmental and health risks led several EU countries to demand a moratorium (暂时禁止 ) on imports of any new GM product. By late 1999 there were enough such (1)_ countries to block any new approval of GM produce. Last year, America filed a

15、 complaint at the WTO about the moratorium, argued that it was an illegal trade barrier (2)_ because there is no scientific basis for it. As more studies have been completed on the effects of GM crops, the greens case against them has weakened. Much evidence has emerged (3)_ of health risks from eat

16、ing it. And, overall, the studies have (4)_ shown that the environment effects of modified crops are not (5)_ always as serious as the greens claim. Nevertheless, environmentalists continue to find fault of such studies and argue that they are inconclusive. (6)_ While Americans seem happy enough to

17、consume food made from GM crops, but opinion polls continue to show that European (7)_ consumers dislike the idea. The Europeans seem to be taking the attitude (8)_ which, since there remain the slightest possibility of adverse (9)_ consequences and since it is clear how they, as consumers, benefit

18、(10)_ from GM crops, they would rather not run the risk. 21 (1) 22 (2) 23 (3) 24 (4) 25 (5) 26 (6) 27 (7) 28 (8) 29 (9) 30 (10) 30 Most studies suggest that when women and men should do the (1)_ same job and have the experience, pay rates tend to be similar.

19、the fact women tend to be more (2)_ frequently employed and have more years in the job. Whether (3)_ women who have started a career will attain pay inequality with men (4)_ rest on at least two factors. First, will most of them continue full (5)_ time at their jobs after they have children? A break

20、 in their employment, or a decision to work part time, will slow their rises (6)_ and promotions. Second, will male-dominated companies elevate women to higher-paid jobs at the different rate as they elevate men? (7)_ On some fields, this had clearly not happened. Many men, for (8)_ example, have co

21、mmitted their lives to teaching careers, relatively (9)_ few have become principles or headmasters.
