1、How to Interview PeopleInterviewing (采访) is one of those skills that you can only get better at. You will never again feel so ill at ease when you try it fｏｒthe first time, ａｎｄ　probably you\'ll never feel entirely comfortable trying to get from another person answers that he ｏｒshe may be too shy to reveal. But at least half of the skill is mechanical. The rest is instinct, which can all be learned with experience.The basic tools fｏｒan interview are paper ａｎｄ　two ｏｒthree well-sharpened pencils. But keep your notebook ｏｒpaper out of sight until you need it. There\'s nothing less likely to relax a person than the arrival of someone with a note-taking pad. Both of you need time to get to know each other. Take a while just to chat, judging what sort of person you\'re dealing with, getting him ｏｒher to trust you.Never go into an interview without doing whatever homework you can. If you are interviewing a town official, know his voting record. If it\'s an actor, know what plays he has been in. You will not be liked if you inquire about facts that you could have learned in advance.Many beginning interviewers are afraid that they are forcing the other person to answer questions ａｎｄ　have no right to inquire about his personal secrets. ______ Unless the person really hates being interviewed, he is delighted that somebody wants to interview him. Most men ａｎｄ　women lead lives that are uninteresting, ａｎｄ　they grasp any chance to talk to an outsider who seems eager to listen.This doesn\'t necessarily mean that it will go well. In general you will be talking to people who have never been interviewed before, ａｎｄ　they will get used to the process awkwardly, perhaps not giving you anything that you can use. Come back another day; it will go better. You will both even begin to enjoy it-proof that you aren\'t forcing your victim to do something he doesn\'t really want to.【单选题】

A.Come back another day; it will go better.

B.But at least half of the skill is mechanical.

C.As one philosopher interviewed in the film notes, they lack irony.

D.You will not be liked if you inquire about facts that you could have learned in advance.

E.This fear is almost 103 percent unnecessary.

F.Both of you need time to get to know each other.

正确答案:E

答案解析:抓住关键词进行同义替换，关键词就是afraid，选项中this fear就是对这种担心的补充，这种担心是完全没有必要的，除非被采访者确实是讨厌别人问自己的隐私。

2、AIDSAs a science writer, I don\'t have to wear emotional armｏｒvery often. Before I went to Zimbabwe fｏｒa visit, I had talked to other reporters who had spent time in Africa.

At first she did not see anyone on the bed ａｎｄ　was about to say he must be elsewhere, when suddenly she spotted his tiny arm in the air, his body lost in the folds of the bedclothes. Recently Karin wrote to me that she had been able to keep our assignment from taking too great an emotional suffering at the time. " Only when I got back about a week later, could I moum the people I met", she continued. "I sat in church ａｎｄ　wanted to ask the priest to pray fｏｒthe people with AIDS in Zimbabwe ａｎｄ　all over the world.

4、A Bad IdeaThink you can walk, drive, take phone calls, e - mail ａｎｄ　listen to music at the same time 7 Well, New York\'s new law says you can\'t. ａｎｄ　you\'ll be fined $ 100 if you do so on a New York city street. The law went into force last month, following research ａｎｄ　a shocking number of accidents that involved people using electronic gadgets (小巧机械) when crossing the street.Who\'s to blame? Scientists say that our multitasking (多任务处理) abilities are limited. "We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can," says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist (神经科学家) in Tennessee. "But a core limitation is the inability to concentrate on two things at once."The young people are often considered the great multitaskers. _____. Aｇｒｏｕｐof 18 to 21 years old ａｎｄ　aｇｒｏｕｐof 35 to 39 years old were given 90 seconds to translate images into numbers, using a simple code. The youngerｇｒｏｕｐdid 10 percent better when not interrupted. But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call ｏｒan instant message, the olderｇｒｏｕｐmatched the youngerｇｒｏｕｐin speed ａｎｄ　accuracy.It is difficult to measure the productivity lost by multitaskers. Jonathan Spira, chief analyst at Basex, a business - research firm, estimates that the cost of interruptions to the American economy is nearly $ 650 billion a year. The estimate is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys conclude that 28 percent of the workers\' time was spent on interruptions ａｎｄ　recovery time before they returned to their main tasks.【单选题】

B.The estimate is based on surveys with office workers.

E.Scientists say that our multitasking (多任务处理) abilities are limited.

F.ａｎｄ　you\'ll be fined $ 100 if you do so on a New York city street.

正确答案:D

答案解析:本题有一定的难度。可用排除法和代入法。本题的上一句谈到了年轻人常被认为是能同时兼顾多个任务的，下一句又谈到了一项试验表明年轻人和年纪大的没有多少差别，所以可以推断此处应该表达转折的意义。回来看选项，把D代入文中，符合逻辑，答案是D。
