UNIT 3 My First JobTrying to make some money before entering university, the author applies for a teaching job. But the interview goes from bad to worse...While I was waiting to enter university, I saw advertised in a local newspaper a teaching post at a school in a suburb of London about ten miles from where I lived. Being very short money and wanting to do something useful, I applied, fearing as I did so, that without a degree and with no experience in teaching my chances of getting the job were slim.However, three days later a letter arrived, asking me to go to Croydon for an interview. It proved an awkward journey: a train to Croydon station; a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of at least a quarter to feel nervous.The school was a red brick house with big windows, The front garden was a gravel square; four evergreen shrubs stood at each corner, where they struggled to survive the dust and fumes from a busy main from a busy main road.It was clearly the headmaster himself that opened the door. He was short and fat. He had a sandy-coloured moustache, a wrinkled forehead and hardly any hair.He looked at me with an air of surprised disapproval, as a colonel might look at a private whose bootlaces were undone. 'Ah yes,' he grunted. 'You'd better come inside.' The narrow, sunless hall smelled unpleasantly of stale cabbage; the walls were dirty with ink marks; it was all silent. His study, judging by the crumbs on the carpet, was also his dining-room. 'You'd better sit down,' he said, and proceeded to ask me a number of questions: what subjects I had taken in my General School Certificate; how old I was; what games I played; then fixing me suddenly with his bloodshot eyes, he asked me whether I thought games were a vital part of a boy's education. I mumbled something about not attaching too much importance to them. He grunted. I had said the wrong thing. The headmaster and I obviously had very little in common.The school, he said, consisted of one class of twenty-four boys, ranging in age from seven to thirteen. I should have to teach all subjects except art, which he taught himself. Football and cricket were played in the Park, a mile away on Wednesday and Saturday afternoons.The teaching set-up filled me with fear. I should have to divide the class into three groups and teach them in turn at three different levels; and I was dismayed at the thought of teaching algebra and geometry-two subjects at which I had been completely incompetent at school. Worse perhaps was the idea of Saturday afternoon cricket; most ofmy friends would be enjoying leisure at that time.I said shyly, 'What would my salary be?' 'Twelve pounds a week plus lunch.' Before I could protest, he got to his feet. 'Now', he said, 'you'd better meet my wife. She's the one who really runs this school.'This was the last straw. I was very young: the prospect of working under a woman constituted the ultimate indignity.进入大学之前,尽力去攒一些钱。

新编英语教程第3册(李观仪主编)第一单元课后练习答案-
Answers to Unit 1TEXT 1 ( P2 )My First JobComprehensionA. True (T) or False (F)?1. The writer thought that the likelihood of him getting the job was not great though he was young and eager to do something useful.T2. The headmaster liked the young man at first sight.FThe headmaster did not like the young man when he went for an interview. He looked at him with surprised disapproval and, instead of showing welcome to the young man, he just grunted, which was an expression of irritation and displeasure3. The headmaster saw eye to eye with the writer as far as children’s games were concerned.FThey did not think alike. To the headmaster, games played an essential role in a boy’s education but the writer did not consider games to have so much importance to the boys.4. The writer was not happy about his having to teach algebra and geometry, but he did not mind having to walk a mile along the dusty road to the Park.T5. The young man was satisfied with the salary he would get.FThe young man would only get twelve pounds a week including lunch, which was by no means good pay. Of course the writer was not satisfied. However, before he could say anything about the poor pay, the headmaster had stood up and asked the young man to meet his wife.6. The writer did not feel unhappy at the idea of working under the headmaster’s wife.FThe writer thought it was something he could hardly bear. To him, for a young man to work under a woman would be shameful and would result in a loss of dignity and self-respect.B. Explain the following in your own words.1. Being very short of money and wanting to do something useful, I applied, fearing as I did so, that without a degree and with no experience of teaching my chances of landing the job were slim. Because I was in bad need of money and was eager to do something of use, I applied for the job. But at the same time that I did so, I was afraid that the possibility for me to get the job was very small because I didn’t have a university degree, nor did I have any teaching experience.2. ...three days later a letter arrived, summoning me to Croydon for an interview.… three days later I received a letter, asking me to go to Croydon to have an interview.3. He looked at me with an air of surprised disapproval, as a colonel might look at a private whose bootlaces were undone.He cast a look at me with the same surprise and dislike as a colonel would look at a soldier when his bootlaces came loose.4. The headmaster and I obviously had singularly little in common.Apparently the headmaster and I had no similar interests or beliefs.5. The teaching set-up appalled me.The way teaching was organized filled me with terror (or, I was shocked at the teaching arrangements).6. I should have to split the class up into three groups and teach them in turn at three different levels.I should have to divide the class into three groups of three different levels and teach them one after another.7. It was not so much having to tramp a mile along the dusty streets of Croydon, followed by a crocodile of small boys that I minded, but the fact that most of my friends would be enjoying leisure at that time.I felt troubled not because I had to walk for a mile along the dusty streets of Croydon, followed bya group of boys, but because at that time most of my friends would be having a good time and relaxing.8. The prospect of working under a woman constituted the ultimate indignity.The fact that I would have to work under a woman in future made me feel totally humiliated.TEXT 2 ( P3 )How to Do Well on a Job InterviewComprehensionTrue (T) or False (F)1. Most people think that a job interview is a terrible experience.Key: T2. You’re often given a reason if you’re not hired after an interview.Key: FIf you don’t get the job, you’re rarely given any reason why.3. You should neither wear casual student clothing nor overdress yourself when going to aninterview.Key: T4. To demonstrate your ability to be politely sociable, you should initiate small talk before gettingdown to business.Key: FYou should follow the interviewer’s lead and should not initiate any small talk or drag it out.5. You should be frank and list all your flaws to the interviewer.Key: FYou’ll come across as more believable if you admit a flaw – but make it one that an employer might actually like.6. A thank-you note shortly after the interview is one more chance to help you make a goodimpression.Key: TTEXT 3 ( P4 )Comprehension1 FThe Times is to sell the benefits of the classified columns by telephone.2. T3. FEducation is important4. FDrive here is a noun, meaning a forceful quality of mind or spirit that gets things done or initiative (动力、干劲). Applicants must possess this sort of drive.5. FIt’s a job that anyone who thinks he is qualified can apply for.6. TGuided writing ( P5 )I love travelling by train. Fast expresses, slow local trains which stop at every station, suburban trains taking businessmen to their offices and home again; I enjoy them all. It must be the element of romance that attracts me. There is no romance on motorway, which is a box of metal and rubber on a strip of concrete, or in flying through the air in a pressurized tube from one identical plastic and glass airport to another. But trains are different. On a train, you can walk around, look at the scenery, observe your fellow passengers; whereas in a plane all you can see are the clouds and the back of other people’s heads. And then there are the stations. Some, I’m afraid, have become too like airport; others, fortunately, are old and dirty, full of unexpected details and with their own individual peculiarities. Traveling by train remains an adventure, as you try to interpret the timetable, persuade the booking office clerk to sell you a ticket and understand the incomprehensible messages coming over the loudspeaker system. Then there is that delightful uncertainty as you wonder whether you are on the right train, or the right part of the train. There’s nothing like it.Precis writing ( P7 )I applied for my first job before I entered university because I was short of money. The school where I applied for a job was ten miles away from where I lived and I was not sure if I could get the job. However, after a terrible journey I was so depressed that I no longer felt nervous. The Victorian schoolhouses stood amid fumes and dust main road. The headmaster was not at all scholarly, neither was the inside of the house academic looking. By and by I discovered that the headmaster and I had very little in common. He wanted me to teach twenty-four boys from seven to thirteen who, were to be split up into three levels. I had to teach everything including the subjects I abhorred (憎恶). Furthermore, I had to work on Saturdays too. The pay was low. To top it all, I had to work under a woman, the headmaster’s wife, who was the real manager of the school.Paragraph Writing( 略)Letter Writing (略)Comprehensive Exercises ( P9 )1. Spelling ( P9 )1. advertise2. suburb3. range4. interview5. quarter6. depress7. dreary8. indignity9. disapproval10. geometry11. singularly12. leisure2. Dictation ( P9 )The most important day I remember in all my life is the one on which my teacher, Anne Sullivan, came to me. It was the third of March, 1887, three months before I was seven years old. On the afternoon of that eventful day, I stood on the porch, dumb, expectant, I guessed from my mother’s signs and from the hurrying in the house that something unusual was about to happen, so I went to the door and waited on the steps. Hanging down from the porch was sweet-smelling honeysuckle. My fingers lightly touched the familiar leaves and blossoms which had just come forth to greet the sweet southern spring. I did not know what surprise the future held for me.I felt approaching footsteps. I stretched out my hand as I supposed to my mother. Someone took it, and I was caught up and held close in the arms of her who had come to help me discover all things to me, and, more than anything thing else, to love me.3. Listening Comprehension ( P10 )A. True (T) or False (F)?For false statements, write the facts.1. Henry would have liked his interview to begin at once.T2. The secretary waited in the manager’s office while the manager signed the letters.FThe manager signed the last letter and then rang the bell for his secretary to come in and take the letters away.3. The technical journals were very carefully arranged on the top shelf.FIt looked as if the technical journals might at any moment slip off the shelf and fall to the ground.4. The manager’s desk was very tidy.T5. The manager had no idea what job Henry had come for.FThe manager knew what job Henry had come for; he said, “You’ve come about our advertisement for a clerk in the accounts section, haven’t you?”B. Complete the following sentences with relevant information from the passage.1. The telephone rang just as the manager was explaining t that he was waiting for a long-distance call from Manchester.2. The manager apologized for keeping Henry waiting.3. The bookcase was so large that it covered the greater part of one wall.4. In the box which marked OUT, the manager dropped the letters which he had signed.4. Translation ( P10 )A. Translate the following sentences from Chinese into English.1.他们都认为他成功的可能性很小。

Thanks to the confidence I picked up from Helen, I dreamed of having my own restaurant one day. Unfortunately, when I called my parents to ask them to lend me the money, they said, “We just don’t have it.” The next day, Fred saw me and asked, “ What’s wrong, Sunshine? You’re not smiling today.” I shared my dream with him and said, “Fred, I know I could do so much more if somebody would just have faith in me.”

I also learned how important it is to take pride in life’s
little achievements: when I helped out in the kitchen, for example, nothing made me feel better than preparing the eggs and serving them just the way the customers wanted. Being a waitress really changed my life. One of my regular customers, Fred Hasbrook, a salesman, always ate the same thing every day. As soon as I saw him walking towards the diner, I would put his order in without him even needing to ask.
something I was really lacking. Meaning: Helen was over 60 in age. Her hair was red, and she had great respect for and pride in herself— a quality that I really didn’t have.

He walked over to some of the other regulars at the diner, and then gave me $50,000 the very next day—along with a note that I still have. It reads, “ Good people with a dream should have the opportunity to make it come true.” I quickly went to a bank, where the money was invested for me. In the meantime, I continued working at the diner, making plans for the restaurant I would one day open. Sadly, the money was not invested well, and I lost it all.

Yet, employers also realize that valuable employees are quickly becoming rare commodity. There is a lot of confusion these days whether a person is competent or not. Most times, employers don’t know what kind of workers they have hired until it is too late. Hiring the wrong people may lead to a serious disaster. Some skills are universal to every job, and others are job specific. All jobs require a good work ethic and problem solving. The profile of a good employee includes a variety of personal attributes, work qualities, and being a team player.
