I am Lynn．My previous job was as principal of a language school, where I received awards for training teachers to teach more effectively．A year ago, I started an international company．I spent months conducting programs in the US and Russia．During this time, some Russian immigrants came to stay at my house．Fortunately, these visitors helped a lot at home and made life easier．At the same time, I wrote several books to be published by my company and coedited a book for a major publisher．

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage．

Job interviews can generally be divided into three types．

The first is what I would call the traditional interview．This is usually just a series of standard questions about qualifications, work experience and expectations．So what you have here is basically a list of quite direct questions, like what duties did you have in your previous job．This is still the model for a lot of interviews today．In my view it's not the best to select staff．

Then there is the case interview．Here the interviewer presents a problem and a series of questions to find out how the candidate would approach the problem．It might go something like this, ‘A company wants to hire more graduates without spending more than its current budget．What would you advise them to do? ’This can be particularly challenging, for you need to analyze the problem and solve it．

The third type is known as the behavioral interview．The questions are usually designed to find out about how the candidates handle tricky situations in the past．A typical question might be ‘Can you give me an example of a situation where you had to follow orders that you didn't agree with? ’ This opens up a lot of information and the interviewer gets to see more of the candidate．

Questions：

14．What kind of questions are usually asked in the traditional interview?

15．What does the case interview focus on about the candidate?

16．What does the speaker mainly talk about?

14．A．Economic questions．

B．Routine questions．

C．Academic questions．

D．Challenging questions．

15．A．Work experience．

B．Educational qualifications．

C．Problem－solving abilities．

D．lnfomation－gathering abilities．

16．A．Features of different types of interview．

B．Skills in asking interview questions．

C．Changes in three interview models．

D．Suggestions for different job interviews．

Section C

Directions：In section C, you will hear two longer conversations．The conversations will be read twice．After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard．Write your answers on your answer sheet．

1．

W：Hi, Bruce, it's Naomi．

M：Hi, Naomi．

W：I'm calling about the conference in Shanghai on November 8th．We have to make some changes．

M：OK, go ahead．

W：I don't think the peace guardian will be big enough．We need a center that can seat at least 600．

M：That many? Any suggestions?

W：The Palace Center will be free that day, but it will mean increasing the registration fee by ＄50．From ＄800 to ＄850．

M：That won't be a problem．Anything else?

W：Milan University says they are sending Carla Marisco instead of Professor Bertoni．But the talk would be the same, Opportunities and Risks in the African Market．

M：Fine．Make those changes and all inform everyone at my end．

Complete the form．Write ONE WORD for each answer．

2．W：David, we all know you took up skateboarding at ten．But did your parents support you?

M：Yeah, my parents even let me skate in the house．

W：Did they?

M：Yeah, they were pretty cool．

W：How about your school work?

M：That was fine．I was able to get my school work done with good grades．My only problem was that I had so much physical energy that I could not sit still in class．Then some teachers started taking my skateboard away．

W：That couldn't stop you from staking?

M：No way．The cool thing was that my parents managed to find me a different school．The headmaster there was wonderful．He let us plan our own P．E．classes．So guess what class I created．

W：Skateboarding．

M：You got it．That was my P．E．class．By that time I was turning professional and starting to show off some techniques at competitions．

W：Is that when your new style became famous?

M：Yeah．Other skaters had this smooth flowing style, but I was kind of like a robot always coming up with new tricks．

Q: Why , after 600 years of no activity , did Mount Pinatubo in Philippines erupt（喷发）in 1991 ?

A: Volcanoes （火山）each have their own eruption styles . This volcano probably has a rule which makes it erupt in the order of every 500 to 1000 years , but a volcano in Hawaii seems to erupt every year , and some of the Alaskan volcanoes might erupt every 10 or 20 years .

Q: So nothing caused it ?

A: There’s nothing out of the ordinary . If you were to take an ordinary calendar year , 50 to 75 or 80 volcanoes erupt around the world every year . There are 20 to 30 volcanoes every month that show signs of unrest . That might be a full-blown eruption or a whole host of activities like that .

Q: What is “the ring of fire” ?

A: If you look at where active volcanoes are placed around the world , there are somewhere between 500 and 600 of them . There is what appears to be almost a necklace that goes around the Pacific Ocean . It makes a ring where 60% of the world’s volcanoes lie .

Q: Why such a concentration（集中）there ?

A: That’s based on a theory that the oceans and the continents are like separate pieces . When continents and when that happens it seems to produce magma（熔岩）at depth and then you have volcanoes in the same ring .

Q: Why such a concentration（集中）there ?

A: That’s based on a theory that the oceans and the continents are like separate pieces . When they move , one might ride up over the other one . In this case , the Pacific Ocean goes under the continents and when that happens it seems to produce magma （熔岩）at depth and then you have volcanoes in the same ring .
