Question

You have heard of Webster toys. Websters have made good safe and interesting toys for more than a hundred years. Now we sell them, and children play with them, in countries from new Zealand to Norway, and from Japan to Brazil. We are looking for someone to sell our toys in the Far East. He (She) will be between the ages of thirty and forty. He will already have some years of selling in world markets behind him. He will speak good English and at least one other language of the Far East.
The person we are looking for will live in Singapore, and work in our office there but he will travel for up to six months in other countries in one year. He will know the Far East well. He should know how to sell in established (建立) markets and where to find new ones. He will know how to make more money than ever, for himself and for Webster Toys.
Websters want someone who can stand on his own feet. If you think you are the person we are looking for, write to Mr. J. Sloman at our office, Webster Toys Company. Church Mill Watford

ADDCA
试题分析：文章介绍了Webster Toys这种产品并广告招聘销售人员的，广告中提到应聘者的要求，工作地点和联系的方式等信息。
1.细节理解题。文章开篇就介绍了Webster Toys：“You have heard of Webster Toys.Websters have made good，safe and interesting toys for more than a hundred years.Now we sell them，and children play with them...”，由此可见Webster Toys 是由Websters (韦伯斯特人)制造的一种质优、安全、有趣的玩具并有着一百多年的历史。选A
2.这是一道推理题。看完全文后，应明确这篇短文实则是一则招聘广告。广告登 载在报纸或杂志上。而在报纸上刊登广告的出现频率肯定比杂志上高。 选D
3.细节理解题。文中明确说明了写这则广告的目的：“We are looking for someone to sell our toys in the Far East.”并对应征者提了一些条件，比如“He (or she) will between the age of thirty and forty...”，可见对于性别未作要求。选D
4.词义推测题。该词汇出现在第三段的首句：“Websters want someone who can stand on his own feet.”其中“stand on one’s own feet”本意表：“靠自己的脚站立或站得住脚”，结合第二段提出的对应征者能力的要求，应确定该词在本文指能独立处理一切商务的人。 选C
5.写作意图题：从第一段的句子：We are looking for someone to sell our toys in the Far East.可知文章是广告一些工作职位，选A
