Can hard work be replaced by machines in agriculture? Yes, man is trying out automatic (自动化) farming. It is fun to watch a machine picking tomatoes. The strange machine sails like a ship across a sea of plants. In its front is a hole. As the machine moves forward, tomato plants are pulled into the hole. The tomatoes are gathered while the rest of the plants are thrown back onto the fields.  Twelve workers sit on top of the machine. They rapidly pick out the bad fruit from the tomatoes. A red stream of ripe tomatoes is being sent into a cart that is pulled alongside the machine. One driver and twelve workers can pick in an hour ten tons of a new kind of tomato. Without the invention, it would take 60 men to do the job.

Not all plants cooperate well with the farming machines. Take lettuce(莴苣)for example, seeds plants in the same field in the same time ripe at different times. The only way to tell a ripe head of lettuce is to look at it and feel it. And now there is a machine even to do that!

There is a special machine to test lettuce. When it moves over one that feels right, it sends a signal back to the picking machine which goes behind. The cutting and picking is done satisfactorily by this unit.

Attitudes differed to small errors of grammar and usage, or inappropriateness of vocabulary and idiom, with the native speakers finding such errors a little irksome(令人厌烦的)，though sometimes amusing, while the Chinese panel members paid hardly any attention to such errors as, for example, misuse of phrasal verbs and similar usages: “When I saw the job description, I decided to apply the position.” “I expect to find out a lot of challenge in the job.” “I can deal the emergency situations efficiently.”?

Errors of idiom or appropriateness caused more comment, during the post interview discussion, from the native speakers than from the Chinese panel members, on whom the errors were sometimes lost. For example, one candidate, when asked what salary he expected, replied: “I don’t care about it.” The message was clear enough, namely that he was primarily interested in the job, but the formulation of the message was not quite right. Even such ribticklers(笑话)as “I am a well planned person .”and “I would like to expose myself in another field”(both actually heard at interviews) tended to cause lipbiting among the expatriate rather than the Chinese interviewers.?

Panels with two Chinese and one expatriate used to be more common, but are becoming less common. The reason is that with more of the interview now being conducted in Chinese, the non Chinese speaker does not know what has already been asked and is liable to repeat in English questions that have already been covered in Chinese. This caused, naturally enough, confusion in the interviewee and can adversely affect the whole interview.?

The sensible procedure would seem to be to open the interview in the mother tongue of the candidates, to put them at their ease, then at a later stage turn to English, to test English proficiency. In practice, however, possibly because of the problem mentioned in the previous paragraph when the panel contains a foreigner, it is often the reverse, with a few, fairly standard, opening questions in English, and if these are successfully answered, then the job interview properly gets underway in Cantonese.?

One of the worst interview scenarios(方案)is when a foreigner who thinks she/he can speak Cantonese (but does so, in fact, badly) decides to question the interviewee in Cantonese. In other circumstances of a social nature the interviewee would no doubt politely compliment the foreigner on his or her good Cantonese, but in the seriousness of a job interview situation, the Chinese is confused and slightly embarrassed for the foreigner. These forays(初步尝试)into Chinese usually end pretty quickly with one of the Chinese members of the panel rescuing the foreigner and continuing the interview in English.?

64．Concerning misuses of phrasal verbs,____.

A．both Chinese and the native speakers of English find them amusing

B．the Chinese interviewers tend to be tolerant

C．the Chinese interviewers and the English native speaker interviewers often have a discussion

D．might sometimes become a laughing stock to the native speakers of English but draw hardly any attention from the Chinese

65．It is implied in the passage that ____.

A．Chinese are generally liable to make mistakes in English grammar and vocabulary usage

B．expatriate interviewers are generally more friendly with interviews

C．braver candidates can often get the upper hand

D．the candidates often deliver an improper message for the use of inappropriate expressions

66．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A．The non Chinese speaking interviewer might ask the questions which have already been asked by the Chinese and hence cause confusion.

B．It is more practicable to start an interview with a few fairly standard questions in English before switching to Chinese.

C．The best procedure of an interview would seem to be beginning in Cantonese and then testing English proficiency.

D．The Chinese interviewee often politely compliments the foreign interviewer if he or she speaks cantonese if it is not actually so good in the interview.?

67．This passage is mainly concerned with ____.

A．whether language proficiency or work ability counts in job interviews

B．how to avoid awkward situation in a job interview in HongKong

C．the language used in a job interview with both Chinese and expatriate panel members

D．the sensible procedure of getting on with an interview where the Chinese interviewee’s English is to be tested

Third-generation mobile phones, known as 3G, are the next big step for the telecom(电信) industry. Data speed in 3G networks is much quicker than that in present technology. This means users can have high-speed Internet access(上网) and enjoy video and CD-quality music on their phones.

"Mobile data is not a dream; it's not an option(选择) but a requirement" said Len Lauer, head of a US communications company, Sprint PCS, at a 3G conference in Bangkok earlier this month.

With 3G, you can forget about text messages telling you yesterday's news; a 3G phone can receive video news programs, updated(更新) four times a day. Internet access will also be much quicker, making it easier to surf the Web on your phone than on your computer at home. 

Don't worry about getting lost. 3G phones offer map services so you can find a new restaurant just by pressing a few keys on your handset(手持机).

However, the most impressive part of 3G technology is video calling. With live two-way video communication, you can have face-to-face talks with friends and family on your mobile phone.

Many European countries have already launched the service. In May 2000 the US Government issued five licenses(许可证) to run 3G wireless services, while the first 3G phones arrived in Italy in March this year.

International telecom companies can't wait to sell 3G in China, the world's largest mobile telecommunications market. But they will have to be patient. At the moment, China is busy testing its 3G-based technologies, networks and services. This will be followed by a trial period before the phones can finally hit the shops.

“We need to create a pool of 3G customers before the large-scale commercial launch(开始) of the service,” said Fan Yunjun, marketing manager for Beijing Mobile. “We expect that the 3G licenses will be issued(发行) late next year.”

We'll also see 3G services enter our daily lives in all-sorts of new ways, from shopping and banking to playing interactive computer games over the net. It won't be long before we think nothing of sitting on a train using a mobile palmtop(掌上型电脑) to check our bank accounts or pay bills. You might even click on an icon(图标) on the screen to set up an immediate video-conference with your bank clerk.

67. 3G is ______.

A. a kind of mobile phone that can send text message and make calls

B. a kind of technology that makes mobile data and video calling come true

C. a kind of player that can be used to listen to CD or MP3 music

D. a kind of system that makes it easy to surf the Internet

68. What does Len Lauer want to inform the readers?

A. Realizing the dream of mobile data based on the application of 3G is a must.

B. There is no need to send messages since 3G can receive video news programs.

C. 3G is supposed to own all the functions that a computer has.

D. It is a choice to carry mobile data with 3G phones.

69. The 3G services can be launched after the following steps EXCEPT that ________.

A. they have to test its 3G-based technologies, networks and services

B. they need to create a group of 3G customers

C. the 3G licenses are issued and 3G phones are tested

D. international telecom companies decide to sell 3G in China

70. The last paragraph shows us that ________.

A. 3G services bring a lot of convenience to us

B. we cannot live without 3G mobile phones

C. 3G services can change our life completely

D. 3G services will take the place of other technologies

The lawyers saw this and agreed it was quite a clever idea.
