At the 2004 . Trials, Phelps qualified for Athens in six individual events across every possible stroke . He finally earned five titles of Olympic champion. Should Phelps match Mark Spitz 's record in Athens or Beijing in 2008, he will earn a ＄ 1 million bonus from his sponsor. Michael Phelps was born to June 30, 1985. His father was a good athlete, and passed his ability on to his kids.Michael 's coach told Michaelc 's mother that her son was a rare with big hands and feet, he took to instruction very well, loved to work hard and never seemed nervous is competition.

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 trusttheir instinctive feeling. We might use some kind of test to aid the selection process, but we usually pick a candidate who interviews well, has goodqualifications and impressive work record.But suppose the candidate lies or is less than completely honest. “This canbe a serious problem for empl o yers ”, explains Alan Conrad, Chief Executive at Optimus Recruiment. “The most difficult liars to find are those who 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 strange. “ 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. Sweat on the upper lip, false smiles and nervous hand movements all indicate discomfort. ”Conrad does not suggest an aggressive policy-style interview technique , but insists that close inspection of a resume is absolutely essential. Only by asking the right questions can you confirm the suitability of the candidate or put pressure on those who are being less than completely honest.21.The best title of this passage can be ___ .A. How to Catch Out the Dishonest CandidateB.How to Find a Job by TricksC.Disadvantages of Job InterviewsD.Advantages of Job Interviews22.The liars hard to recognize are those who tell __ .A. complete truthsB. complete liesC. partial truthsD. mainly truths23.How were the job applicants able to lie without being detected?A.

Too subjective.C. SuspiciousD. Credulous.Passage ThreeOur world is wonderful with birds that are absolutely amazing and kind of such birds is the coot — a 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. Coots need to be tricky because of the nunsual way the animals. Compete: One coot will put its eggs secretly into another 's nest to trick the host intoraising the invad er's eggs. But nest owners use their wits to fight back, Lyon finds.Over four summers, Lyon monitored 400 coot nests near Williams Lake 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 eggs were not disappearing by chance---and that can only meant he 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 the nest, where there is less heat for hatching.Even if a mother coot didn 't 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 somehowk ept a count of both their own eggs and the 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 bird ______________________________________ 's name“coot ”probabl y is .A. wonderful and amazingB. unusual and remarkableC. secret and unbelievableD. old and silly27.In the passage, “ foreign eggs ” refers to ____ .A. the eggs of the nest ownersB. the eggs of the invaders eggs from foreign countries D. the eggs unable to be hatched28.Which of the following is the particular way coots often compete?A.

Ha tching them as their own.A. Ⅰ.onlyB. Ⅱ .onlyC. Ⅰ.land Ⅱ.D. Ⅰ., Ⅱ .and Ⅲ.30.Which of the following is the particular ability the ecologist believes thatthe coot has?A. To trick other coots.B.

However, there are some final details that need to be taken of . ”Larson would not say what details needed resolving , but said the station 's international partners ---including the space agencies of Russia, Europe, Japan and Canada---had drafted a set of requirements for space travelers covering “physical ability, psychological ability, language ability ” and “length and appropriateness of training. ”Outgoing commander Frank Culbertson of the space station said the new crew replacing his was goi ng to be extremely busy. “The station is for workers, and it puts an additional burden on the crew to have people up here that are not doing science or conducting experiments that are productive. This is a workplace, a laboratory, a research facility, ” he said.Space Adventures chief Eric Anderson said he could not disclose what Shuttleworth was paying for the trip, but added that a Russian official had been quoted as saying the price was no worse than Tito 's fare, which was widely reported to be ＄20 million.31.Who was the first space tourist according to the passage?A.
