| 任务型读写 请认真阅读下列短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词. 注意:每个空格只填1 个单词. Almost every career requires such skills as listening, speaking, reading, writing, decision making, researching, reasoning, creativity, persuasion, leadership, interpersonal communication, and organization. In addition, a number of characteristics that may be important for specific jobs: achievement, aggressiveness, ambition, dependability, discipline, honesty, initiative, motivation, people orientation, persistence, responsibility, selfconfidence, selfstarting, sensitivity, sincerity, tenacity, and toughmindedness. The way you acquire these skills and behaviors is, to a great extent, up to you. Without them, no matter how bright and knowledgeable you may be, landing a top job is of extreme difficulty, if not impossible. The most likely way to obtain these skills and behaviors is through courses, reading, internships, parttime or fulltime employment, extracurricular activities, and participation in community functions. Knowing what an employer is looking for in a potential employee can help an applicant to prepare for an interview. An interviewer for a major corporation was asked these questions: What specific skills are you looking for in applicants? And how do you identify these skills? He responded : Most important for us in the way of skills is the ability to communicate-can people speak clearly? Can they articulate the kind of person they believe themselves to be? In what kind of work situations do they perform well? What are their strengths and weaknesses? We want to know about the personal qualities of the individual, so I try to ask questions to draw them out and attempt to find out if they have a sense of themselves. What I'm looking for is an ability to verbalize an idea in clear, simple, understandable language. I'm also looking for the ability to listen attentively and then to be able to respond to an idea or thought that has been presented to them. If they do have good communication skills, they will be able to do this logically and succinctly. I am looking for creativity -can they be spontaneous? I will ask some "offthewall" questions just to see if this throws them. How do they respond in these tough situations-can they be creative with their answers? This is very important when they are out in business situations with customers. They will have to respond to very sudden changes and problemsolving situations that they are not necessarily familiar with, and I want to know if they can handle them. What we look for the most are personal qualities-assertiveness, selfmotivation, drive, ambition, and a competitive instinct. They should be high achievers and want to work hard. I can usually tell about these qualities from the way the person presents himself or herself and some of the activities they have engaged in. I pick up things from the applications and resume-how they have written them and the kinds of things they say. How they present their experiences is often very informative. For example, an assertive person will say, "I can do these things" and "I decided on this course of action, " whereas a more passive person might say, "These are the experiences I have had." All of these things describe the person in some way. Qualities Employers Seek

| A British student writing for the Guardian's website recently attracted the criticism of thousands of readers with his very first post. Max Gogarty, 19, had started a blog about his trip to India and Thailand. The idea was not paiticularly original and. in many people's view, the writing wasn't either.Within minutes, people began to post negative comments:"l've been more entertained cleaning mould from my fridge than I was reading your first post. " So how did Max land his job? The Guardian's online community soon reached their own conclusion :" Great to see nepotism ( 任人唯亲) is alive and well."said one poster. Max's father is a travel writer who had previously published work in the Guardian. Within minutes, one poster had provided a link to an article from 2002 , in which Max's dad writes about a trip to Thailand with his family. Many were quick to suppose Max had used his father's connections to get his job. By the end of the next day, the criticism was so heavy that the blog was closed, but the damage had been done. From Facebook to Wikipedia. social networking and gossip websites all over the Internet were discussing Max's case. Max's experience highlights the difference between traditional media and the Internet. As online community specialist DanWilsonwritesinhisblog: " Inthe blogosphere respect comes from below. Readers have power and opinions that count. You've got to be real and attractive to the people who read you. " Part of the reason for this is that falsehoods and half-truths canbe exposed(曝光) immediately online.For example, the Guardian's travel editor attempted to defend publishing the story. He said he'd called Max because of his track record and talent. But then one reader pointed out: " Didn't you post yesterday sayingMax got in touch with us because he writes occasionally for the TV program Skins'? Are you a liar?" What we can learn here is to be careful when we read and write online. Always be sure to think about why a person might be writing something, and don't necessarily believe what we read. Title:______
