You should make the correct choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center. Companies sometimes receive hundreds of applications for a single job, and it is becoming more common for managers to conduct screening (筛选) interviews over the phone. This saves them considerable time and money—especially if a candidate lives out of town. Don't take these interviews lightly. It is important to prepare for a telephone interview just as you would do for a regular interview. The employer will normally call or e-mall you in advance to set up an interview time. If possible, arrange for the interview to be held over a landline phone(座机), as it is more reliable than a mobile phone. Make sure that children, pets and other sources of interruption will be out of the room. Keep a glass of water nearby. Phone interviews can often last a half-hour to an hour and be sure to have your résumé in front of you. Do your best to be personal, but don't overdo it by, say, trying to tell a joke.

If you're looking for ways to improve your products or services, customers can be one of your most valuable sources of information and market research. So why not take it a step further and visit some of them? Ideally, you want to do this in person, so you may need to offer your customers something for their time. They may be pleased that you take their opinion seriously, and they may also enjoy getting a chance to help influence your products or services. If your customers are in different places, you could make such visits part of your business travel to get a wider range of responses. One expert recommends that you make your customers feel comfortable during the visits. You're not trying to sell anything through these meetings, so plan to spend 80 percent of your time listening. Don't try to lead your customer to give responses that you really want to bear.

Directions:Read the following passage. After reading it, you should complete the information by filling in the blanks marked 46 to 50 (in no more than 3 words) in the table below. This reminder(提示) is intended to offer guidance for using email. This is not a "how-to" document, but it is rather a document that offers advice to prevent you from being cheated or troubled by emails. Studies show that knowledge workers spend about 20 hours a week doing email and one-third of that email is useless. Still worse, 70% of this email gets handled within six minutes of arrival and the average worker is interrupted every three minutes. As a consequence, there is a cost to our organizations. While we can't control what we receive from the outside, we can make some progress from the inside. Please read this paper and take action by following its instructions. Many thanks go to Earl Hacker (CIO,WBB Consulting, Inc. ) for providing some of this information from an internet site.
