II. Reading Comprehension (30%)
Passage 1
In
some
ways
the
employment
interview
is
like
a
persuasive
speech
because
the
applicant
(interviewee) seeks to persuade the employer (interviewer) to employ him or her. Several suggestions
might prove helpful to the applicant as preparation is made for the actual interview.

A
job
applicant
has
the
responsibility
for
ascertaining
certain
types
of
information
prior
to
（在
……
之前）
the interview. First, the applicant should know what kind of job he wants and how that
job
relates
to
his
career
objective.
It
is
important
that
the
applicant
be
able
to
state
his
reasons
for
wishing to work for a particular company. Second, the applicant should seek as much information as
possible concerning the company. Relevant information for the applicant to locate includes such items
as
the
location
of
the
home
and
regional
offices,
the
financial
status
of
the
company,
plans
for
expansion,
and
company
philosophy.
Information
about
most
major
corporations
is
available
in
reference books and
periodicals
（期刊）
.

After gathering information concerning the company, the applicant is ready for the interview. The
interviewer
’
s
first
impression
comes
from
the
interviewee
’
s
appearance.
For
most
interviews,
appropriate dress for man is a conservative dark colored suit with a long sleeve, white or light blue
shirt and a conservative tie. For women a conservative, tailored suit or dress is appropriate. Both men
and women should have neat, conservative length hair.

Although hairstyle and dress are matters of personal taste, many
personnel directors
（人事主管）

form
initial
（最初的）
impressions from these characteristics. For example, one recent college graduate,
who
felt
himself
qualified,
interviewed
for
a
public
relations
job.
However,
the
personnel
manager
considered
this
young
man
’
s
long
hair,
sloppy
dress,
and
overly
casual
manner
unsuited
for
this
particular position.

Passage 2
Believe it or not, optical
illusion
（错觉）
can cut highway crashes.
Japan is a case in point. It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent
using a simple optical illusion. Bent stripes, called
chevrons
（人字形）
, painted on the roads make
drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.
Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C. is
planning
to
repeat Japan’s

success.
Starting
next
year,
the
foundation
will
paint
chevrons
and
other
patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway
crashes.
Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according
to the foundation. To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where
speed-related hazards are the greatest

—

curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.
Some studies suggest that straight,
horizontal
（平行的）
bars painted across roads can initially cut
the
average
speed
of
drivers
in
half.
However,
traffic
often
returns
to
full
speed
within
months
as
drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.
Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they
really
are
but
also
make
a
lane
appear
to
be
narrower.
The
result
is
a
longer
lasting
reduction
in
highway speed and the number of traffic accidents.

36. The passage mainly discusses _________.
