【题目】How to Shine at a Job Interview

The smart job seeker needs to get rid of several standard myths about interviewing before starting to look for a job. 【1】

Myth 1: The aim of an interview is to obtain the job offer.

Only half true. The only aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want. 【2】 Unfit job seekers, however, become so used to meeting employers' expectation that they often easily accept jobs that they don't want. So before you work for an employer, be sure you want the job.

Myth 2: Try to control the interview.

Nobody “control” an interview - neither you or the interviewer - although one or both parties often try. Then it becomes a fake exchange between two human beings; no business deal is likely to be made. Remember, you can't control what employers think of you, just as they can't control what you think of them. So hang loose when interviewing: 【3】

Myth 3: 【4】

Study the effective conversationalists: They interrupt and were interrupted. An exciting conversation always makes us feel, free - free to interrupt, free to disagree ? to agree enthusiastically. We feel comfortable with people who allow us to be natural. Employers will either like or dislike you, but at least you will have made an impression. And the way to make an effective impression is to feel free to be yourself, which frees your interviewers to be themselves.

Myth 4: Always be well groomed and dress yourself fashionably.

Only half true. 【5】 However, some interviewers might not appreciate the way you “decorate” yourself or, possibly, the positions you are applying for would require more reserved personalities, which, to some interviewers, can be revealed from your appearance. Therefore, the more cautious solution would be to keep to the happy medium - neither appear too “modern” nor too “conservative”.

A.Never interrupt the interviewer.

B.It is good to appear clear and neat or well-groomed when you go to an interview.

C.Thus, the job seeker finds an ideal job.

D.Never dominate the interview.

E.That often means rejecting the job offers you don't want.

F.You are expected to respect each other.

G.Here are some untruths and tips to help you do your best at your interview.

【解析】

这是一篇说明文。文章主要阐述了如何在面试中出众，并且给出了4条建议。

【1】根据文章中的四个小标题，Myth 1: The aim of an interview is to obtain the job offer. Myth 2: Try to control the interview. Myth 3…Myth 4: Always be well groomed and dress yourself fashionably. 可知，这里是一个总起句，用来引出下面四个标题。G. Here are some untruths and tips to help you do your best at your interview. (下面是一些错误的观念和技巧来帮助你在面试中做到最好。) 符合语境。故选G项。

【2】根据前文The only aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want. (面试的唯一目的就是得到你想要的工作。) 又根据下文Unfit job seekers, however, become so used to meeting employers' expectation that they often easily accept jobs that they don't want. So before you work for an employer, be sure you want the job. (然而，不合格的求职者变得如此习惯于满足雇主的期望，以至于他们往往很容易接受自己不想要的工作。所以在你为雇主工作之前，一定要确定你想要这份工作。)可知，你要找到你真正想要的工作，你就要拒绝你不喜欢的工作。不能为了满足雇主的期望，接受自己不喜欢的工作。E. That often means rejecting the job offers you don't want. (这通常意味着拒绝你不想要的工作机会。) 这是一个承上启下的句子。符合语境。故选E项。

【3】根据第三段中Remember, you can't control what employers think of you, just as they can't control what you think of them. (记住，你不能控制雇主对你的看法，就像他们不能控制你对他们的看法一样。) 可知，不要去想着控制面试过程，要放松。D. Never dominate the interview. (不要主导面试。) 既是对主题的呼应，又是对前句So hang loose when interviewing的阐述。符合语境。故选D项。

【4】根据第四段中Study the effective conversationalists: They interrupt and were interrupted. An exciting conversation always makes us feel, free - free to interrupt, free to disagree, to agree enthusiastically. (研究高效的谈话者：他们会打断别人，别人也会打断他们。一场激动人心的谈话总是让我们觉得，可以随意打断，可以随意提出异议或者完全同意。)可知，面试是需要互动，不要太过于拘束。A. Never interrupt the interviewer. (决不能打断面试官) 这是一种错误的想法，作为小标题。符合语境。故选A项。

【5】根据后文However, some interviewers might not appreciate the way you “decorate” yourself or, possibly, the positions you are applying for would require more reserved personalities, which, to some interviewers, can be revealed from your appearance. (然而，一些面试官可能并不欣赏你“装饰”自己的方式，或者，你申请的职位可能需要更多的个性保留，这在一些面试官看来，可以从你的外表看出来。) 可知，你的精心打扮可能不符合申请职位，这一点面试官是从你的装扮上看出来的。根据句中的However可知，前面一句和这一句之间存在转折关系。B. It is good to appear clear and neat or well-groomed when you go to an interview. (当你去面试的时候，让自己看起来干净整洁是很好的。) 符合语境。故选B项。
