26、ut 4,000 years without putting the patient to sleep. This involves placing flexible needles into certain parts of the body. The needles are available in a number of stores in China and anyone may buy them.To learn how to use the needles takes about one month of training. But to be skillful requires

27、greater time. The person who performs the acupuncture knows how to put in the needles so the needles themselves are not painful. This person also knows where to place the needles so the patient feels no pain in the area where the operation is to be performed. A particular operation might require 25

28、or more needles placed in various parts of the body. But now this operation requires only 3 or 4 needles.Today, the Chinese doctors are trying to learn more about acupuncture.

Years of studying interviewing have made clear that it is not a very objective process. Personnel officer

35、s often hire the person they like most, or even the one they think most physically attractive. Looking good is no guarantee of doing the job well, however. Uglies or those who are aesthetically challenged, lose heart.To get a more objective view, many companies are also using psychological tests to

36、hire both for relatively routine jobs and for positions at senior levels of management. It is impossible to say how many employers use tests, but estimates of test sales in the UK for 1993 were over 1 million.The basic reason employers use tests is clear: tests claim to be scientific and objective.

37、A large body of research has shown that interviews by themselves are not very reliable as a method of selection.

43、ements is NOT true according to the passage?A) For a certain time, psychological tests and interviews will exist together.B) Psychological tests have been recognized valuable more and more.C) The employer will surely hire a person who does well in theinterview but poorly in the psychological tests.D

44、) People seldom attend a serious test without enough preparationunless they are confident of it. 参考答案: CPassage FourIn the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning.

45、e call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it's a matter of life or death.
