I am the shared bike. I’d like to be on the street to serve for people. They can ride me just via a mobile app. But horrible things happen a few days ago. Several people stole some of us with paying their bills on the app but treated us badly. They broke my saddle and even threw my friends everywhere. We felt angry for which those bad guys had done. Thanks to some kindly people, we received careful “treatment”. Now, you help as well as the whole society’s attention is what we need most. We are designed to help people who are stuck the heavy traffic. We are neither toy nor private vehicles. Please obey the basic rules.

【解析】本文是共享单车的自述，解释了共享单车受到的不公平待遇，希望人们善待共享单车。
1.第一句：the 改为a.考查冠词。bike是可数名词单数，此处表示一辆共享单车，故the 改为a.
2.第二句：去掉for.考查动词。句中动词serve是及物动词，后面直接加宾语，不用加介词。故去掉for.
3.第四句：happen 改为happened.考查动词时态。根据时间状语a few days ago可知用一般过去时，故happen 改为happened.
4.第五句：with改为without.考查介词。此处指有的人不在应用上付款偷走了一些单车，表示没有付款，故with改为without.
5. 第五句：but改为and.考查连词。此处指有些人不付款偷走单车，还对我们不好。前后句是并列关系，不是转折。故but改为and.
6.第七句：which改为what.考查宾语从句。此处指对那些坏家伙所做的事感到生气，表示做的事用what引导宾语从句，故which改为what.
7.第八句：kindly改为kind.考查形容词。此处修饰名词people用形容词，故kindly改为kind.
8.第九句：you 改为your.考查物主代词。此处修饰名词help用形容词性物主代词，指你的帮助，故you 改为your.
9.第十句：stuck后加in或by.考查介词。此处指被交通堵住，或是在交通阻塞中堵住，故stuck后加in或by.
10.第十一句：toy改为toys.考查名词。和句中主语和动词We are一致，名词也用复数。故toy改为toys.

Interviewing someone for a job is not as easy as it looks. First, as the interviewer, you’re tasked with finding the person who will not only do the job well but also fit in well with the other employees.
You have to make an evaluation of abstract qualities that can’t be found on a résumé. Because you have to repeat the process for every potential employee, you end up asking question after question, applicant after applicant.
Still, interviewers need to be told something: “What is your biggest weakness?” is not a good question. It just isn’t.
Now, job seekers have to understand that interviewers want to find some way to know what makes an applicant different from others. Asking questions that are seemingly impossible to answer is one way to see who can think creatively. Then what may be a proper way to respond to such a question?
Honesty, with a twist（新手法）
“‘What are your three strengths and three weaknesses?’ is a classic, but not too many people know how to answer this,” says Kenneth C. Wisnefski, founder and CEO of WebiMax, an online marketing company.
“As an interviewer, we want to hear strengths that describe initiative（主动性）, motivation and dedication. The best way to respond is to include these qualities into specific ‘personal statements.’”
“Similarly, weaknesses should be positioned as a strength that can benefit the employer.”
“I like to hear applicants state an exaggerated strength, and put an interesting twist on it. An example of this is, ‘My initiative is so strong, that sometimes I take on too many projects at a time.’”
This answer leads with a strength that employers want — initiative — and still acknowledges that you’re not perfect.
Although you might consider this acknowledgement too honest, it works because it proves you’re being honest.
Honesty, with progress
When you consider what your weaknesses are, think about how you have attempted to overcome them. No one is perfect, so pretending that you are a perfectionist will come across as insincere.
Debra Davenport, author of “Career Shuffle,” believes citing(引用) examples are the best approach.
“My preferred response for this question is to tell the truth without damaging the applicant’s image.” Davenport explains.
“A better response might be, ‘I’ve had some challenges with work-life balance in the past and I realize that a life out of balance isn’t good for me, my family or my employer. I’ve taken the time to learn better time and project management, and I’m also committed to my overall wellness.’”
The answer adds some dimension to the question, and proves you’ve thought beyond the answer. You’ve actually changed your behavior to address the situation, even if you haven’t completely overcome the weakness.
Put yourself in the interviewer’s shoes
However you decide to answer, Debra Yergen, author of “Creating Job Security Resource Guide,” recommends job seekers imagine themselves sitting on the other side of the desk.
“If you were doing the hiring, what would you be looking for? What would be your motivation for asking certain questions? Who would you be trying to weed out? If you can empathize (共鸣) with the interviewer, you can better understand what they want and need, and then frame your qualifications to meet their needs for the position you seek.”
Once you consider what the goal of the question is and figure out what your honest answer is, you’ll be able to give the best possible answer to a tricky question.
