听力原文：As a job recruiter, you don't have a lot to do once the hiring process enters the job offer phase. Usually, the hiring managers arrange all the components of a job offer. They're the people who decide on the salary, terms of employment, and other details, and in most cases, they're the people entering all these details into the computerized HR system. If you're the person who recruited the person who's being offered the job, your role is more likely to be quality assurance— things like examining the job offer and ensuring everything's been completely and correctly entered into the system. Once the hiring manager has written an official offer letter, they'll send it to you and you'll mail the letter to the job candidate. If the candidate accepts, then the hiring manager will send out a contract.

Decide where the paragraph should be divided into two paragraphs. Because the Internet makes the world a smaller place, the value of having a common language is greatly increased. The question is, which language? Because the Internet grew up in the United States, the largest percentage of its content is now in English. Bill Gates, Microsoft’s president, believes that English will remain valuable for a long time as a common language for International communication. His company spends $200 million a year translating software into other languages. He says, “Unless you read English passably well, you miss out on some of the Internet experience.” 【A】Someday, software may be available to instantly translate both written and spoken language so well that the need for any common language could decline. 【B】That day is decades away, however, because flawless machine translation is a very tough problem. 【C】Computer spelling checkers also exist for various languages. Software that does crude translations already exists. 【D】It is useful if all you are trying to do is understand the general idea of something you see on your computer screen. However, if you are trying to negotiate a contract or discuss a scientific subject where details are important, machine translation is totally useless.

What is the relation between the code and culture which creates it, and which it transmits to the next generation? ~Linguists in the anthropological tradition had tried to establish links with meanings expressed lexically: Eskimo words for 'snow', Arabic words for 'camel' and so on. Yet vocabulary only 'reflects' culture by courtesy of its internal organization as a whole; and the assertion that "because 'camels' are important to the Arabs, therefore they have a lot of different words for 'them' "is a statement as much about English as about Arabic. Presumably nothing is more important than rice to the Chinese; yet Chinese has a single word for rice and it means various other things besides. Chinese happens to be a type of language that favors general nouns.

As the essential medium for people to organize and convey their ideas, language is no longer what it seemed to be for the traditional linguists who used to think of language as simple for mal codes. It is also closely related to the context, social or anthropological, in which the communication takes place. Today most linguists come to realize that language is an important component of culture. It determines not only tile form. in which ideas are transmitted, but also the method with which the content of the ideas are organized. In this perspective, language is also a communicative base on which members of a speech community form. their ideas in a way that is readily comprehensible to other members of that community. It is also regarded as part of culture that is related to other fields of humanity(人类)studies.

But what is merely cornic(滑稽)when applied to lexics(词汇学)becomes seriously misleading when applied to grammar. As Whorf pointed 50 years ago, it is naive and dangerous to take isolated grammatical phenomena and try to relate them to features of a culture. When linguists recognized this, their response was to avoid the language/culture issue altogether, thus closing the door on an important area of research. That there is a relationship between a code and the culture that engenders(造成)it is beyond question; but it is an extremely complex and abstract one.

The first paragraph mainly discusses ______.

A．the early history of human language

B．how important words are in the cultural issue

C．the way in which people name different things

D．the relation between language and culture on the lexical level

Clothes play a critical part in the conclusions we reach by providing clues to who people are, who they are

not, and who they would like to be. They tell us a good deal about the wearer's background, personality, status,

mood, and social outlook.

Since clothes are such an important source of social information, we can use them to manipulate people's impression of us. our appearance assumes particular significance in the initial phases of interaction that is likely to occur. An elderly middle-class man or woman may be alienated(疏远) by a young adult who is dressed in an unconventional manner, regardless of the person's education, background, or interests.

People tend to agree on what certain types of clothes mean. Adolescent girls can easily agree on the lifestyles of girls who wear certain outfits (套装), including the number of boyfriends they likely have had and whether they smoke or drink. Newscasters, or the announcers who read the news on TV, are considered to be more convincing, honest, and competent when they are dressed conservatively. And college students who view themselves as taking an active role in their interpersonal relationships say they are concerned about the costumes they must wear to play these roles successfully. Moreover, many of us can relate instances in which the clothing we wore changed the way we felt about ourselves and how we acted. Perhaps you have used clothing to gain confidence when you anticipated a stressful situation, such as a job interview or a court appearance.

In the workplace, men have long had well-defined precedents and role models for achieving success. It has been otherwise for women. A good many women in the business world are uncertain about the appropriate mixture of "masculine" and "feminine" attributes they should convey by their professional clothing. The variety of clothing alternatives to women has also been greater than that available for men. Male administrators tend to judge women more favorably for managerial positions when the women display less "feminine" grooming(打扮) shorter hair, moderate use of make-up, and plain tailored clothing. As one male administrator confessed, "An attractive woman is definitely going to get a longer interview, but she won't get a job."

According to the passage, the way we dress______.

A．provides clues for people who are critical of us

B．indicates our likes and dislikes in choosing a career

C．has a direct influence in the way people regard us

D．is of particular importance when we get on in age
