The interview had been going on for about 20 minutes and everything seems to be going well．Then, suddenly, the interviewer asks an unexpected question, "Which is more important, law or love?"

Job applicants in the west increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this．And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China．

Employers want people skilled, enthusiastic and devoted．So these are the qualities that any reasonably intelligent job applicants will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are．In response, employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant's true personality．

The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called Kiersey Personality Sorter．It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems, rather than what they know．This is often called aptitude （能力） testing．

According to Mark Baldwin of Alliance many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult. When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test he or she will think there is a right answer and they may fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see．

This is sometimes called the prisoner's dilemma （窘境）．Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest．But they fail because they don't understand what the interviewer is looking for．Remember that in an aptitude test, the correct answer is always the honest answer．

1.The writer wrote the passage to ____．

2.Why do the interviewers ask such questions?

3.According to the writer, in an aptitude testing, Chinese job applicants should___．

4.From the passage we know that____．

As any parent with an iPhone or an iPod Touch knows, mobile apps (手机软件) can be an engaging and entertaining experience for kids. Now, a new study of PBS Kids suggests that the experience can be an educational one as well.

The study, which was administered by PBS under a grant from the Department of Education, first tested the vocabulary level of a group of 90 Title 1 school children, aged 3 to 7. Then, the children were each given two weeks with an iPod Touch loaded with the Martha Speaks Dog Party app created by PBS Kids.

The study monitored how the children used the iPod, during what hours, and in what context. On average, the study found that kids played with the iPod Touch for a total of 5 hours across the two weeks, with half that time spent playing the Martha Speaks app. At the end of the two week trial, the children were given another vocabulary test, which revealed an increase in vocabulary acquisition by as much as 31 per cent.

The study findings are particularly useful as smart phones and mobile devices have become increasingly popular among families and parents are faced with a proliferation of mobile apps designed for kids. According to a recent Nielsen study, smart phone usage is 12% higher in households with children than other households.

“Mobile apps can be a great learning tool in the hands of children,” said Lesli Rotenberg, SVP, Children’s Media, PBS. “This research is important in helping to better understand and guide the development of new apps that improve the value of children’s screen time with significant educational outcomes.”

So what does it all mean? Well, at the very least it will help parents get over that guilty feeling when they hand over their iPhone or iPod Touch for a little peace and quiet. At best, it provides more evidence that mobile devices and apps do indeed have educational value and could be an important part of the child-learning process for many years to come.

1.What Lesli Rotenberg said in the fifth paragraph suggests that ________.

A. he has a positive attitude towards mobile apps

B. he thinks children should never use smart phones

C. he is doubtful about mobile apps designed for children

D. he thinks parents should be careful with mobile apps for children

2.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that ________.

A. parents will feel more comfortable giving kids iPhone or iPod Touch

B. parents will know what kind of mobile phones are suitable for kids

C. parents will know what children do with mobile phones

D. parents can watch over their children now and then

3.What would be the best title of the text?

A. The popularity of smart phones among kids

B. The entertaining function of smart phones

C. Smart phones make kids learn more.

D. It’s too early for kids to use smart phones

High school could be a scary time for everyone. The school seems bigger; there are more kids and it’s a totally new environment. In fact, it isn’t that bad.

High school is a lot like middle school after a while. The first day of course is always scary, and the first day of middle school must have been the same. Of course, the first few days you might get lost while looking for your classes but after a while, what seemed to be a large school really isn’t.

One thing that’s really cool about high school is that there are so many more classes you can take. If you happen to like art, there are many art classes. In addition, there are other classes that weren’t available in middle school like photography or psychology.

In high school, there are a lot of things that are similar to how middle school was but at the same time, there are other opportunities available as well. There are more clubs, sports, and other activities you can join in.

You’re able to join in these activities and make new friends with kids with the same interest as you. These activities also give you a chance to learn something you never had the opportunity to learn before.

High school has something for everyone. You just have to decide what to take part in. but there’s one thing that’s certain that you’re going to have just as much fun in high school as you did in middle school. And if middle school wasn’t that great for you, high school is a chance to make up for it.
