Koeler took special notice of the tall woman who was nicely dressed, but she was wearing ugly, thick-soled(厚底) shoes.

　　Now the woman was taken to a room for questioning. There it was found that the soles of the shoes were hollow(中空的). They were opened. Some diamonds fell out on the floor. Their total weight was 3377 carats(克拉).

　　The young woman broke down in tears. Then she told her story. For years she had dreamed of coming to live in America, she said. At last she had managed to get the papers she needed to come to the U.S. Then a strange man called on her. He said he would pay for her trip and give her one hundred dollars. All she had to do was to smuggle the diamonds past the U.S. Customs. The man gave her the shoes and also bought her a plane ticket. Just before she got on the plane, he gave her an envelope. He said that it was the hundred dollars he had promised.

　 The weeping woman handed the envelope to Koeler. He tore it open. There was only eighteen dollars. She was cheated. In the end the woman was trialed and sentenced to eighteen months in prison for her part in the smuggling.

      "If you're busy preparing for your job interview now, you could learn a lot by watching this show," says Joe Turner.

    Mr. Turner says American Idol (美国偶像) has many lessons to teach an employee about making an impression in a job interview, especially selling your strengths and skills.

    To win on American Idol, "you don't have to be the best singer, just the most memorable singer," he said. "Same for the job interview — you don't have to be the best employee with the top skills, but you do have to be the most memorable employee worth being hired."

    The No.1 thing in an interview and a job search is knowing your audience. For American Idol competitors, the judges and voting (投票的) public are the audience; for job hunters, it's the hiring manager.

    Just as talented American Idol competitors lack confidence when singing the wrong song, job hunters can fail to be chosen when they fail to present their skills according to the employer's needs.

    "Difference" is how Mr. Turner describes the way American Idol competitors stand out among singers who may be equally good.

    In the real world, the right skills, education and experience still make one's ability different or memorable.  But it's important for the job hunter to present "something special" that he or she has to offer.

    A recent survey suggests that managers often sense whether they'll hire someone within minutes after the first handshake. Just as an Idol competitor prepares for performances, a job hunter should prepare carefully to make the first good impression.

    Job hunters also can learn from past American Idol winners who proved an ability to recover from setbacks. If they can take feedback (反馈), make improvements and make sure they're better prepared the next go-round, that will pay off eventually.

72. The purpose of the passage is _________.

    A. to persuade readers to take part in American Idol

    B. to praise the winners of American Idol

    C. to advertise for American Idol

    D. to tell job hunters what they can learn from American Idol

73. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.

    A. if a job hunter fails to be chosen for one job, he or she will never succeed

    B. job hunters should distinguish themselves from other applicants when interviewing

    C. the skills, education and experience are the keys to your success

    D. an American Idol competitor is never the same as a job hunter

74. The underlined word "setbacks" in the last paragraph means __________.

    A. failures                    B. successes

    C. performances               D. advantages

75. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage ?

    A. The reason that you are planning to change your job.

    B. The best singer may not win on American Idol.

    C. An employer may have the opinion on a job hunter within minutes.

D. How an American Idol competitor can stand out among singers.
