      Almost every career requires such skills as listening, speaking, reading, writing, decision making,
researching, reasoning, creativity, persuasion, leadership, interpersonal communication, and organization.
In addition, a number of characteristics that may be important for specific jobs: achievement,
aggressiveness, ambition, dependability, discipline, honesty, initiative, motivation, people orientation,
persistence, responsibility, selfconfidence, selfstarting, sensitivity, sincerity, tenacity, and toughmindedness. The way you acquire these skills and behaviors is, to a great extent, up to you. Without them, no matter
how bright and knowledgeable you may be, landing a top job is of extreme difficulty, if not impossible.
The most likely way to obtain these skills and behaviors is through courses, reading, internships, parttime
or fulltime employment, extracurricular activities, and participation in community functions.
     Knowing what an employer is looking for in a potential employee can help an applicant to prepare for
an interview. An interviewer for a major corporation was asked these questions: What specific skills are
you looking for in applicants? And how do you identify these skills? He responded :
     Most important for us in the way of skills is the ability to communicate-can people speak clearly?
Can they articulate the kind of person they believe themselves to be? In what kind of work situations do
they perform well? What are their strengths and weaknesses? We want to know about the personal
qualities of the individual, so I try to ask questions to draw them out and attempt to find out if they have
a sense of themselves. What I'm looking for is an ability to verbalize an idea in clear, simple,
understandable language. I'm also looking for the ability to listen attentively and then to be able to
respond to an idea or thought that has been presented to them. If they do have good communication
skills, they will be able to do this logically and succinctly.
     I am looking for creativity -can they be spontaneous? I will ask some "offthewall" questions just to
see if this throws them. How do they respond in these tough situations-can they be creative with their
answers? This is very important when they are out in business situations with customers. They will have
to respond to very sudden changes and problemsolving situations that they are not necessarily familiar
with, and I want to know if they can handle them.
   What we look for the most are personal qualities-assertiveness, selfmotivation, drive, ambition, and
a competitive instinct. They should be high achievers and want to work hard. I can usually tell about
these qualities from the way the person presents himself or herself and some of the activities they have
engaged in. I pick up things from the applications and resume-how they have written them and the kinds
of things they say.  How they present their experiences is often very informative. For example, an
assertive person will say, "I can do these things" and "I decided on this course of action, " whereas a
more passive person might say, "These are the experiences I have had." All of these things describe the
person in some way.

      Most people say" yes" much more readily than" no".
     A friend is moving house this weekend and would like some
help,and you agree. But, what you really wanted was relaxing at
home for a couple of quiet days,or a roommate spends the whole
weekend playing video games and wants to borrow your homework
for"reference". But,you've just finished it after working hard for a
whole day.
     Many people say" yes" to this kind of requests. They tend not
to consider their own interests and feelings,and are often angry with
themselves afterwards. Saying" no" requires courage and considerable
practice. " Everyone wants to be liked. " says Gabriele Steinki,a
German psychologist. "Saying'no'risks losing the affection of the
person asking for the favor. Or even a job. "The result is that many
people say"yes"just for keeping the peace. But experts say this is
regrettable. Anyone should have the right to say" no". In fact, rejecting
a request can even help to stabilize a relationship because it
expresses real affection. But,for peop'le accustomed to agreeing every
request,it's very distressing to say" no".
     Most people believe that if they say" no" ,they'll lose the affection
of the person. But the affection is important to them. This way
of thinking can be replaced by this:"If he only likes me because I
always do what suits him,then the price of this affection is too high
in the long term. "
    When people say " no", Steinki advises giving the reasons
calmly until the person gets the message.
1. What does the second paragraph tell us?  
A. In fact people are usually selfish.
B. Sometimes people say " yes" when they really want to say no .
C. It's not suitable to ask others to help at weekends.
D. It's disgusting to borrow homework for reference.
2. Many people don't say" no" though they really want to because    
A. they dare not offend the asker
B. they are afraid of breaking the good relationship with the asker
C. they don't care about their own feeling
D. they are good-tempered
3. The underlined word" distressing" can be replaced by "____ ".   
A. comfortable                      
B. funny
C. unnecessary                    
D. uncomfortable
4. The best title for the passage would be _____.  
A. You Need Courage to Say "No"
B. Saying" No"Is More Important Than Saying" Yes"
C. Saying " No" Would Bring Benefits
D. The Art of Saying " No"
