The interview had been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well.Then，suddenly，the interviewer asks an unexpected question，“Which is more important，law or love？”
Job applicants in the West increasingly find themselves asked strange
questions like this.And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China.
Employers want people skilled，enthusiastic and devoted.So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicants will try to show no
matter what his or her actual feelings are.In response，employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant's true personality.
The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Keirsey
Personality Sorter.It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems，rather than what they know.This is often called an aptitude test(能力倾向测验)．
According to Mark Baldwin many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult.When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test he or she will think there is a right answer and they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see.
This is sometimes called the prisoner's dilemma.Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest.But they fail because they don't understand what the interviewer is looking for.Remember that in an aptitude test，the correct answer is always the honest answer.
16．The writer wrote the passage to ________． A．give a piece of advice for job interviewees B．tell you how to meet a job interviewer

阅读下面短文并回答问题。
[1]There are many forms of alternative medicine which are used in the Western world today. One of the most famous of these is acupuncture(针灸), which is a very old form of treatment from China. It is still widely used in China today, where it is said to cure many illnesses, including tonsillitis, arthritis, bronchitis, rheumatism and flu.
[2]The Chinese believe that there are special energy lines through the body and that the body's energy runs through these lines. When a person is ill the energy in his or her body does not run as well as normal, perhaps because it is weaker or it is blocked in some way. The Chinese believe that if you put very fine needles into the energy line, this helps________. In this way the body can help itself to get better.
[3]The acupuncturist puts the needles into special places along the energy line and some of these places can be a long way from the place where the body is ill. For example it is possible to treat a bad headache by putting needles into certain places on the foot. It may surprise you to know that it does not hurt when the acupuncturist puts the needles into your body. People who have had acupuncture say that they felt nothing or hardly anything.
[4]Western doctors at first did not believe that acupuncture could work. Now they see that it not only can work but it does work. How and why does it work? No one has been able to explain this. It is one of nature's mysteries.

课时作业(三十七)
Ⅰ.1.B 考查非谓语动词。根据语意可知，retire与逻辑主语he之间存在主动关系，且空格后的时间状语表示一段时间，所以用v.-ing形式的完成式。
2．B 考查动词辨析。根据语法规则可知，imagine和consider后不能直接跟动词不定式；prevent意为“阻止”，不合句意；bother to do“为做某事费神”。句意：国内有这么多的好大学，为什么费神到国外学习呢？
3．B 考查固定句型。happen和occur都是不及物动词，不能直接接宾语；think的主语应该是人。该题选B，构成“It strikes/struck sb that…(＝it occurs/occurred to sb that…)”句型，意为“某人突然想到……”。
4．B 考查形容词辨析。句意：——你喜欢她做的事情吗？——不喜欢，我认为她做的事情肯定会引起争论。根据语境可知，B项最符合句意。
5．C 考查动词短语辨析。句意：珍妮照常努力学习而且也有了回报，她又一次在期末考试中获得第一名。根据句意选择C项，pay off意为“回报”。show off炫耀；pay back偿还；turn up出现。
6．C 考查副词辨析。句意：我们处境很艰难，但是总体来说我们相当高兴。根据本句中的转折连词but可知应用fairly，表示“相当，颇”。A项表示“很少”；B项表示“仅仅”；D项表示“主要地”，都不符合句意。
7．B 考查动词辨析。complain 意为“抱怨”；oppose 意为“反对”，其后直接跟名词或动名词，不接不定式； resist 意为“抗拒，反抗”，后不接 to；object to 意为“反对”，其中to 是介词，后跟名词或动名词作宾语。
8．C 考查介词短语辨析。句意：当被问及他们对校长的看法时，许多老师更想他能让位给年轻人。in favor of“赞成；支持”；in terms of“就……而论；在……方面”；in need of“需要”；in praise of“赞扬”。根据step aside可判断是想让校长让位，即“支持”年轻人，所以选C项。
9．B 考查非谓语动词与句子结构。句意：我们经常碰到一些甚至连以母语为英语的人都认为让人困惑的词组。形容词confusing作宾语补足语，说明some groups of words的性质。
10．B 考查动词用法。forbid sb.to do sth.意为“禁止某人做某事”，为固定短语，此处为其被动结构。
11．D 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，“own”与“This restaurant”构成逻辑上的动宾关系，且“________ by an old couple”作“This restaurant”的后置定语，故用own的过去分词形式，选D。
12．C 考查介词短语辨析。owing to 意思是“由于”。句意：正是由于詹妮的及时帮助，我们才按时完成了任务。in addition to 此外；according to根据；in relation to关于，涉及。
13．B 考查介词短语的用法。condition表示“条件”时是可数名词，表示“状况”时是不可数名词。根据主语bicycle和repaired可知，此处的condition表示“状况”，所以不能用冠词a。
14．B 考查同位语从句。句意：是否创立一个不同的社会福利体系这个问题将会出现。这是一个分隔式的同位语从句，根据语意可知用whether来引导此同位语从句，表示“是否”。if一般不引导同位语从句，故排除D项。
15．A 考查倒装结构。here，there，now，then等副词位于句首，主语为名词，谓语动词是be，come，go等词，且为一般时态时，句子常用全部倒装结构。
Ⅱ.本文讲述了现代企业招聘面试中的能力倾向测试并为求职者提供了回答此类问题的技巧。
16．A 写作目的题。通读全文可知，本文意在为面试者提供建议。
