23、action of the interview to employers . The appeal of the interview has everything to do with the human factor.Most people believe that they are a reasonable judge of character and trust their instinctive feeling. We might use some kind of test to aid the selection process, but we usually pick a cand

24、idate who interviews well, has good qualifications and impressive work record.But suppose the candidate lies or is less than completely honest. “This can be a serious problem for employers”, explains Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruiment. “The most difficult liars to find are those who

25、tell half-truths rather than complete lies.”Research 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 uncertainy such as gaps between periods of employment and job descriptions that seem strang

26、e. “Focusing on these areas will force candidates to tell the truth or become increasingly dishonest. This is usually when people signal their anxiety by their body language.

27、e policy-style interview technique , but insists that close inspection of a resume is absolutely essential.

31、 are absolutely amazing and unbelievable.One kind of such birds is the coota clumsy bird so unloved that its name implies something of an old fool.”The bird has a remarkable ability to recognize amd count its eggs,” says behavioral ecologist Bruce Lyon of the University of California at Santa Cruz.

32、Coots need to be tricky because of the nunsual way the animals. Compete: One coot will put its eggs secretly into anothers nest to trick the host into raising the invaders eggs. But nest owners use their wits to fight back, Lyon finds. Over four summers, Lyon monitored 400 coot nests near Williams L

33、ake in central British Columbia, tagging the eggs with a marker. Of these , 160 coot nests received eggs from unrelated coots. The hosts generally were not fooled, however,. About half the time, coot parents rejected the strange eggs completely, usually by burying them deep in the nest. “Foreign egg

34、s were not disappearing by chance -and that can only mean the birds were recognizing them, ”Lyon says. Apparently , the coots were alerted by the unfamiliar colors and patterns on the foreign eggs. In other cases, the parents pushed the foreign eggs to an unfavorable position at the border area of t

35、he nest, where there is less heat for hatching. Even if a mother coot didnt remove the foreign eggs from her nest, she continued to lay a normal hatch number of her own eggs, despite the apparent extra foreign eggs. Lyon thinks that means the coots somehow kept a count of both their own eggs and the

36、 suspicious ones. “That coots can distinguish their own eggs from the foreign ones is a rare but very convincing example of counting wild animal world,” the ecologist concluded. 26. The meaning of the birds name “coot”probably is _. A. wonderful and amazing B. unusual and remarkable C. secret and un

37、believable D. old and silly 27. In the passage, “foreign eggs” refers to _.

38、ther nests. B. To put their own eggs into others nests. C. To hatch other coots eggs. D. To protect their own eggs. 29. Which would the nest owners do with the foreign eggs according to the passage? . Burying them deep in the nests. . Pushing them aside to an unfavorable area. . Hatching them as the

39、ir own. A. .only B. .only C. .land . D. .,.and . 30. Which of the following is the particular ability the ecologist believes that the coot has? A. To trick other coots. B. To fight back the tricks. C. To be alert to the foreign eggs. D. To recognize and count its own eggs.Passage Four National Aviat
