Most interviewees are probably aware that interviewers are not supposed to ask them certain questions. There are some areas of special   in selection interviewing. Our goal here is to point out these    areas of questions and to suggest strategic ways to    them as an interviewee.

Courts have    that it's none of the company's business how many children an applicant has; or whether he or she is married,    or divorced. In this area, if you are asked an illegal question, you can give a general    ; saying elegantly: "I would prefer to stick to job-related questions:" Or you can be more    : "Are children a requirement for this position?"

  , many instances of illegal interview questions occur in' the course -of  getting-to-know-you small talk during an interview and aren't    by the interviewer as an invasion(侵犯)of your privacy. But innocent or not, illegal interview questions can    a company in court when a job seeker    discrimination in the interview process.

To    age discrimination in hiring, courts have disallowed these sorts of questions: "How old are you?" "When did you graduate from high school?" and so on. Managers get in trouble here when they talk about the average age of their workforce in    to -the candidate: "Our typical employee is probably 8 to 10 years older than you. Do you expect problems managing people older than yourself?" You can imagine the later court    . Manager: "But, Your Honor, I never asked her age!”Candidate: "My age seemed to be one of his key    about my ability to manage." And, of course, you can avoid all these disputes(争执)by simply answering your employer: "Age has    been a consideration for me in my work life."

In another area of sex, an employer cannot ask questions about the person's gender(性别)   the job specifications strictly require either a male or a female. The burden of proof is on the   to demonstrate(论证)that only a man or a woman can do the job. Employers should be cautious: Courts and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission have interpreted very    the concept that only one gender can perform a particular job.

Is the ‘Go to College’ Message Overdone?

Even in a weak job market, the old college try isn’t the answer for everyone. A briefing paper from the Brookings Institution warns that “we may have overdone the message” on college, senior fellow Isabel Sawhill said.

“We’ve been telling students and their families for years that college is the only way to succeed in the economy and of course there’s a lot of truth to that,” Ms. Sawhill said. “On average it does pay off… But if you load up on a whole lot of student debt and then you don’t graduate, that is a very bad situation.”

One comment that people often repeat among the years of slow job growth has been the value of education for landing a job and advancing in a career. April’s national unemployment rate stood at 7.5%, according to the Labor Department. The unemployment rate for high-school graduates over 25 years old who hadn’t attended college was 7.4%, compared with 3.9% for those with a bachelor’s degree or more education. The difference is even bigger among those aged 16-24. The jobless rate for those with only a high school diploma in that age group is about 20%. At the same time, recent research by Canadian economists cautions that a college degree is no guarantee of promising employment.

Ms. Sawhill pointed out that among the aspects that affect the value of a college education is the field of one’s major: Students in engineering or other sciences end up earning more than ones who major in the arts or education. The cost of tuition and the availability of financial aid are other considerations, with public institutions generally a better financial bargain than private ones.

She suggested two avenues for improving the situation: increasing vocational(职业的)-technical training programs and taking a page from Europe’s focus on early education rather than post-secondary learning. “The European countries put a little more attention to getting people prepared in the primary grades,” she said. “Then they have a higher bar for whoever goes to college—but once you get into college, you’re more likely to be highly subsidized(资助).”

She also is a supporter of technical training—to teach students how to be plumbers, welders and computer programmers—because “employers are desperate” for workers with these skills.

1.People usually think that _____.

A. the cost of technical schooling is a problem

B. one will not succeed without a college degree

C. technical skills are most important for landing a job

D. there is an increased competition in getting into a college

2.What does the underlined part “taking a page from” mean?

A. Hearing from.B. Changing from.

C. Differing from.D. Learning from.

3.What can we infer from the passage?

A. Public institutions charge more for education.

B. European universities are stricter with students.

C. Students with certain skills are in great demand.

D. Canadian students prefer to major in engineering.

4.Ms. Sawhill may probably agree that _____.

A. too much stress has been put on the value of college degrees

B. technical training is more important than college education

C. a college degree will ensure promising employment

D. it’s easier for art students to find favorite jobs

 

When students arrive on campus with their parents, both parties often assume that the college will function in loco parentis(处在父母位置),watching over its young charges, providing assistance when needed. Colleges and universities present themselves as supportive learning communities-as extended families, in a way. And indeed, for many students they become a home away from home. Ideally, the college nurtures(养育)its students, guiding them toward adulthood. Lifelong friendships are formed, teachers become guides, and the academic experience is enriched by social interaction. For some students, however, the picture is less beautiful. For a significant number, the challenges can become overwhelming(压力过大).

In reality, administrators at American colleges and universities are often forced to focus as much on the new generation of students.Public institutions in particular are often faced with tough choices about which student support services to fund. Private colleges are feeling the pinch(棘手)as well.Although tuition and fees can increase as much as 6.6 percent in a single year, as they did in 2007, the high cost of doing business at public and private institutions means that students are not necessarily receiving more support in return for increased tuition and fees. To compound the problem, students may be reluctant to seek help even when they desperately need it. Just as colleges are sometimes ill equipped to respond to the challenges being posed by today's students, students themselves are sometimes ill equipped to respond to the challenges posed by college life. Although they arrive on campus with high expectations, some students struggle with shyness or perfectionism, learning disabilities or eating disorders·Still others experience failed relationships; some suffer from acute loneliness, or mental illness.

Unfortunately, higher education is sometimes more of an information delivery system than a responsive, collaborative(合作的)process. We have created cities of youth in which students can pass through unnoticed, their voices rarely heard, and their faces rarely seen. As class size grows in response to budget cuts, it becomes even less likely that troubled students, or even severely disturbed, will be noticed. When they are not, the results can be tragic.

As a teacher of creative writing who has worked with many overwhelmed students, I have found that there are ways to communicate more effectively. Most students have stories they want to share, and students in trouble can be desperate to find someone who will listen to them. Parents, as their children's primary listeners, have a key role to play. Some young people are unable to find their own way out of the dark, and a meaningful dialogue can become a light for them to see by. That is not to say that writing can be used to identify mental illness; rather, I think some of the approaches writing teachers use to enter into a reflective dialogue with students can be adopted by parents and students who want to learn more about each other. Having witnessed what can happen when a student communicates with himself, I believe this kind of responsive, one-on-one communication is more important than ever. Students in creative writing classes may have no idea that they have revealed so much about themselves because, for them, writing is like speaking inside the pages of a journal. In fact, all of us who write reveal more than we imagine. This is one of the reasons why writing, even more than speaking, can provide us with important insights into ourselves and others.

Many of us don't know our students as well as we should, yet it can be easier than we imagine to begin these necessary dialogues.
