Mr. DuVoss did so because the man always was so punctual (on time), careful, and quiet. The fellow was so shocked that he drove off without saying a word. Mr. DuVoss rose early to meet the same garbage man for three mornings before he got a response. Finally, the man answered, “In 12 years nobody ever told me they appreciated what I do. You are the first person ever to thank me.”

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．

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?

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

[1]An 18-year-old student was struggling to pay his fees. He was an orphan, and not knowing where to turn for money, he came up with a bright idea. He and a friend decided to host a musical concert on campus to raise money for their education.
[2]They reached out to the great pianist Ignacy J. Paderewski. His manager demanded a guaranteed fee of $2000 for the piano recital. A deal was struck and the boys began to work to make the concert a success.
[3]The big day arrived. But unfortunately, they had not managed to sell enough tickets. The total collection was only $1600. Disappointed, they went to Paderewski and explained their plight(困境). They gave him the entire $1600, plus a cheque for the balance(差额) $400. They promised to pay the cheque at the soonest possible.
[4]“No,” said Paderewski. “This is not acceptable.” He tore up the cheque, returned the $1600 and told the two boys: “Here’s the $1600. Please deduct（扣除）whatever expenses you have spent on. Keep the money you need for your fees. And just give me whatever is left”. The boys were surprised, and thanked him a lot.
[5]It was a small act of kindness. But it clearly marked out Paderewski as a great human being.
