When there is a tie at 29-all, in which the game goes to a ____point.

When there is a vacancy in a company, it is the job of the personnel manager and his department to manage the recruitment of a new employee. One way an organization can find staff for job vacancies is to recruit in company. Management can inform. people of new appointments by means of the firm's notice board or news bulletin. Another possibility is to ask for recommendations from departmental managers and supervisors. If it is necessary to recruit outside the company, the personnel department may use commercial and government employment offices or consultants. It may prefer to put its own advertisement in a newspaper or magazine.

It is usual for an advertisement to give a short description of the job, conditions of work and salary, and to invite introductory letters from applicants. After studying these, management decides who receives an application form.

In order to assess the applications, managers can work from a personnel specification such as Rodger's Seven-Point Plan. They do not choose applicants who do not have a good profile. For this reason, it is important that the application form. requests clear information about such things as the applicant's age, education, qualifications and work experience. It must also ask for references from other employers or people who know the applicant well. This information helps management to make a final decision on the number of applicants they can short-list for interview.

The staff who hold an interview together are called an interview "panel". It is important that they know what information they need to get from the applicants. This comes from a careful reading of job descriptions, personnel specifications, and applications. To help the panel in their selection, some companies use an interview assessment form. This is used by the panel during the interview when each applicant is checked under the same point on the form.

Many employers say that the success of a good business begins in the personnel manager's office.

Which of the following means is NOT mentioned in the passage when recruiting staff outside the company?

A．Consultants.

B．Written examinations.

C．Advertisements.

D．Government employment offices.

The point ______ water boils is called boiling point.

A．when

B．that

C．at which

D．for

To say that the child learns by imitation and that the way to teach is to set a good example oversimplified. No child imitates every action he sees. Sometimes, the example the parent wants him to follow is ignored while he takes over contrary patterns from some other example. Therefore we must turn to a mom subtle theory than "Monkey see, monkey do".

Look at it from the child's point of view. Here he is in a new situation, lacking a ready response. He is seeking a response which will gain certain ends. If he lacks a ready response for the situation, and cannot reason out what to do, he observes a model who seems able to get the right result. The child looks for an authority or expert who can show what to do.

There is a second element at work in this situation. The child may be able to attain his immediate goal only to find that his method brings criticism from people who observe him. When shouting across the house achieves his immediate end of delivering a message, he is told emphatically that such a racket is unpleasant, that he should walk into the next room and say his say quietly. Thus, the desire to solve any objective situation is overlaid with the desire to solve it properly. One of the early things the child learns is that he gets more affection and approval when his parents like his response. Then other adults reward some actions and criticize others. If one is to maintain the support of others and his own self-respect, he must adopt responses his social group approves.

In finding trial responses, the learner does not choose models at random. He imitates the person who seems a good person to be like, rather than a person whose social status he wishes to avoid. If the pupil wants to be a good violinist, he will observe and try to copy the techniques of capable players; while some other person may most influence his approach to books.

Admiration of one quality often leads us to admire a person as a whole, and he becomes an identifying figure. We use some people as models over a wide range of situations, imitating much that they do. We learn that they are dependable and rewarding models because imitating them leads to success.

The statement that children learn by imitation is incomplete because______.

A．they only imitate authorities and experts

B．they are not willing to copy their parents

C．the process of identification has been ignored

D．the nature of their imitation as a form. of behavior. has been neglected

When enthusiasts talk of sustainable development, the eyes of most people glaze over. There is a whiff of sack-cloth and ashes about their arguments, which usually depend on people giving up the comforts of a modern economy to achieve some debatable greater good. Yet there is a serious point at issue. Modern industry pollutes, and it also seems to cause significant changes to the climate. What is needed is an industry that delivers the benefits without the costs. And the glimmerings of just such an industry can now be discerned.

That industry is based on biotechnology. At the moment, biotech's main uses are in medicine and agriculture. But its biggest long-term impact may be industrial. Here, it will diminish demand for oil by taking the cheapest raw materials imaginable, carbon dioxide and water, and using them to make fuel and plastics.

Plastics and fuels made in this way would have several advantages. They could accurately be called "renewables", since nothing is depleted to make them. They would be part of the natural carbon cycle, borrowing that element from the atmosphere for a few months, and returning it when they were burned or dumped. That means they could not possibly contribute to global warming. And they would be environmentally friendly in other ways. Bioplastics are biodegradable, since bacteria understand their chemistry and can therefore digest them. Biofuels, while not quite "zero emission" from the exhaust pipe (though a lot cleaner than petrol and diesel), would be cleaner overall even than the fuel-cell technology now being touted as an alternative to the internal-combustion engine. That is because making the hydrogen that fuel cells use is not an environmentally friendly process, and never will be—unless it, too, uses biotechnology.

All this will, in the end, depend on costs. But these do not look unfavorable. Already, the price of bioplastics overlaps the top end of the petroleum-based plastics market. Bulk production should bring prices down, particularly when the raw materials are free. Meanwhile, ethanol would be a lot easier to introduce than fuel cells. Existing engines will run on it with minor tweaking, so there is no need to change the way cars are made. And since, unlike hydrogen, it is a liquid, the fuel-distribution infrastructure would not need radical change.

The future could be green in ways that traditional environmentalists had not expected. Whether they will embrace that possibility, or stick to sack-cloth, remains to be seen.

According to the author, applying biotechnology to industry

A．has brought about sustainable development.

B．proves to be nothing but an imagination.

C．will deprive most people of modern comforts.

D．contributes to the environmentally sound development.

There is a tale that straw is the worst material from which to build a house, particularly if you are a pig with a hungry wolf around. So the cards were stacked against Warren Brush when local officials learned that he had several buildings made of straw bales (大捆) on his land. They have tried to fine him a lot. But the case is still unresolved. The problem is that Californias building codes make no provision for the use of straw. And Mr.Brush has many defenders-among them several university scientists and David Eisenberg, the chairman of the United States Green Building Councils code committee. Theywould like to see the prejudice against straw houses eliminated, for straw is, in many ways, an ideal building material. It is, for one thing, a great insulator (绝缘体). That keeps down the heating bills in houses made from it. It is also a waste product that would otherwise be burned, and is therefore cheap. And-very much to the point in a place like California—it is earthquake-resistant. Last year a test conducted at the University of Nevada showed that straw-bale constructions could withstand twice the amount of ground motion recorded in the Northridge earthquake that hit Los Angeles in 1994. There are other straws in the wind: a post office in suburban Albuquerque, a school in Maryland , and an office complex in suburban Los Angeles have all been built from straw. Even California is having a rethink, and may change its rules to adapt to straw-bale construction. As Mr. Eisenberg observes, "The lesson of the Three Litde Pigs isnt to avoid straw. Its that you dont let a pig build your house. "

By "the cards were stacked against Warren Brush" , the author means that Brush______.

A．received punishment

B．made a breakthrough

C．would be in trouble

D．might win a prize

根据下列材料，请回答下列各题 Banking is about money; and no other familiar services or commodities arouse such excesses of passion anddislike. Nor is there any other about which more nonsense is talked. The type of thing that comes to mind is notwhat normally called economics, which is inexact rather than nonsensical, and only in the same way as all scientists are at the point where they try to predict people's behavior. and its consequences. Indeed most socialsciences and, for example, medicine could probably be described in the same way. However, it is common to hear assertions of the kind "if you were marooned (孤立无援的． on a desertisland a few seed potatoes would be more useful to you than a million pounds" as though this proved somethingimportant about money except the undeniable fact that it would not be much used to anyone in a situation wherevery few of us are at all likely to find ourselves. Money in fact is a token, or symbolic object, exchangeable ondemand by its holders for goods and services. Its use for this purpose is universal except with in a small number ofprimitive agricultural communities. Money and the price mechanism, i.e., the changes in prices expressed in money terms of different goods andservices, are the means by which all modern societies regulate demand and supply for these things, Especiallyimportant are the relative changes in price of different goods and services compared with each other. To takerandom examples: the price of house building has over the past five years risen a good deal faster than that ofdomestic appliances like refrigerators, but slower than that of motor insurance or French Impressionist paintings.This fact has complex implications for students of the brick industry, trade unionism, town planning, insurancecompanies, fine art auctions, and politics. Unpacking these implications is what economics is about, but theirimplications for bankers are quite different. In general, in modern industrialized societies, prices of services or goods produced in a context requiring ahigh service-content (e.g., a meal in a restaurant． are likely to rise in price more rapidly than goods capable ofmass-production on a large scale. It is also a characteristic of highly developed economies that the number ofworkers employed in service industries tends to rise and that of workers employed in manufacturing to fall. Thediscomfort this truth causes the big general trade unions as they contrast their own situation with that of the rapidlygrowing white-collar unions has been an important source of tension in western political life for many years and islikely to remain so for many more. According to the author, banking __________

A. is another form. of commodities

B. arouses people's passionate concern

C. is the same thing,as economy

D. has the same description as medicine
