Recently a TV programme Secret Boss caught my eye. The programme invites company directors (董事) to spend a week working in their own companies — as a new employee (雇员). And no one knows who the new person really is.

At the start of the programme, we met Amy Lowen, director of the big—name restaurant group, Caters. She would work at one of Caters’ restaurants in London. After just a few hours of training, Amy was serving customers. However, anyone who has done the same job knows that a busy restaurant isn’t an easy place to work at. Just minutes after starting on tables, Amy dropped a bowl of food, which made her very sad.

The programme is not just about finding problems, though. Amy said she was surprised at how hard—working some employees were. They worked long hours, but always stayed cheerful to even their most “difficult” customers.

One day Amy was very pleased when a customer left her a 20 tip (小费). “If I could get five or six more of these a day,” she said, “this wouldn’t be a badly paid job.” But minutes later, she felt surprised when the restaurant’s manager told her to give the money to the company. The company didn’t allow employees to keep tips over 10. It was a rule.

It isn’t difficult to guess how Secret Boss ends. Amy told others at the restaurant that she was the director of Caters. And then she told them she had decided to allow employees to keep all of their tips.

【1】In the programme Secret Boss, company directors are invited to ________ for a week.

【2】Amy had only ________ of training, and then she started work at a restaurant.

【3】On the first day, Amy felt very sad when she________.

【4】Amy got a 20 tip, but her manager asked her to give it ________.

【5】At the end of Secret Boss, Amy said she would allow employees to ________.

Egg sculpturing(蛋雕) brings extra life to students who cannot speak or hear at Changchun University. At the egg carving workshop in the university, the sound of polishing egg shells and tools knocking against each other is the only thing visitors can hear. The everyday egg shells become art pieces under the creative skills of these students.

Jin Zhanrong, director of the visual communication department(视觉传送设计系) of the school, brought in the egg sculpture major(专业) three years ago. He said that most students here in the special education school live a silent life. This makes it easier for them to forget the outside world and concentrate(专注) on egg carving.

“Egg shells are very thin and easy to break," Jin explained. "In the beginning, only one unbroken work could be completed after dozens of failed shells. That made these students pretty upset. Teachers of the workshop encourage the students and keep giving them suggestions on carving skills. I told them to hold their breath and be careful about every carving step," he added. Many students have made beautiful pieces after months of practice. Jin has also been surprised by their works.

In the past three years, more than 3,000 egg sculptures have been created by the teachers and the students at the workshop. Some of them are used as gifts for international exchanges.

It is often said that the best way to get to the bottom of a hard problem is to sleep on it. Does this make sense? A new study shows that it does.

A team of researchers at Northwestern University, US, found that sleeping is useful in both strengthening(增强) and reorganizing(重组)memory. 【1】

The researchers did an experiment on 57 university students. They asked students to solve 42 difficult puzzles (谜题) on the first day.【2】 The researchers encouraged students to remember the music they heard while solving the puzzles.

B.This can help you solve problems.

【题目】 As one of the world’s top universities, Oxford attracts students from around the world. Besides needing a perfect academic record. students have to go through a rigorous ( 严 格 的 ) interview process, sometimes across days.

If you’re preparing for studying overseas, here’s our advice for putting your best foot forward.

Questions

You might have heard about the strange questions you might face, such as why are ladybirds red? These questions are not as random (随意的) as they seem and are often related to your course or interests. In truth, there is no wrong way to answer these questions as they are designed to show how your mind approaches problems.

You can’t prepare for these, but you can practice explaining your thoughts aloud about different topics.

Preparation

Most of your interviews will be made up of what you wrote in your application. So make sure you review everything you’ve submitted (提交) as you will be asked about any writers or scientific theories you’ve mentioned. It’s not a good look if you can’t discuss your subject area or struggle to form your own opinions about it.

It’s also OK to say you’re unfamiliar with a question, but always attempt to answer it.

Interviews aren’t everything

Don’t worry about any mistakes you make. Your whole application is more than just a meeting, so take the time to de-stress and visit local sites.

It is also common for students to have an additional interview with another Oxford college if your interviewer is unsure about you. Take it as a second chance.

Overall, think and act as you usually would. Everyone there is gifted, but demonstrating (证明)) how your mind works and how you approach difficult things is how you will stand out.

【1】According to the passage, how can you prepare for the questions in interviews?

A.Search for information about ladybirds.B.Try to solve problems all by yourself.

C.Pay attention to your course or interests.D.Practice explaining your thoughts aloud.

【2】What does the underlined word “additional”mean in the passage?

A.ExtraB.SpecialC.UsualD.Complete

A.Interviews have something to do with what you wrote in your application.
