Part B
［A］ You may have to impress the company HR representatives as well.
HR reps are typically trained to ask very specific and personal questions,
like what salary you expect and what you’ve made in the past.
They might ask you about your impressions of the company and the people who
interviewed you. They might also ask if you have other offers. If so,
chances are good that they are willing to compete for you.
But if you say that you have other offers,
be prepared to back it up with the who, what and when,
because they might challenge you.
The HR reps are also the people who will conduct or arrange reference and background checks.
They might have the final say.
［B］ Besides management, you might also interview with one or more of your future coworkers.
Regardless of the questions they ask, what they most really want to know is how well you’
ll fit into the team, if you’ll cause them more work instead of less,
and if they should feel threatened by you. When answering,
be eager enough to show that you are a good team player and will pull your load,
but not so eager as to appear to be a back- stabbing ladder climber!
［C］ Always research a company before you interview, and remember that attire,
body language and manners count, big time. Try to avoid common mistakes.
You may think that this is common sense, but crazy stuff really happens!
［D］ Job interviewing is one of the most popular career topics on the Web.
But no career advisor can tell you exactly what to say during a job interview.
Interviews are just too upclose and personal for that.
About the best that career advisors can do,
is to give you some tips about the typical questions to expect,
so you can practice answering them ahead of time. But,
while there are many canned interview questions, there are few canned answers.
The rest is up to you.
［E］ Be prepared to attend a second interview at the same company,
and maybe even a third or fourth. If you’re called back for more interviews,
it means that they’re interested in you. But, it doesn’t mean you’re a shoo- in. Most likely, they are narrowing the competition, so keep up the good work!
［F］ To put you somewhat at ease, many interviewers really don’t know how to interview effectively.
Frontline interviewers are typically managers and supervisors
who have never been or are barely trained in interviewing techniques.
They’re a little nervous too, just like you. Some don’t even prepare in advance.
This makes it easier for you to take control of the interview,
if you have prepared. But in controlling an interview, it’s not a good idea to try to dominate.
Instead, try to steer it toward landing the job.
［G］ After interviewing, immediately send a thank you letter to each of your interviewers.
It’s professional and expected, and might even be the deciding factor in your favor.
［H］ Remember, it’s a two- way street. It’s the employer’s chance to judge you,
but it’s also very much your chance to judge the employer. In fact,
if you handle yourself well and ask the right questions,
you’ll put the interviewer in the position of selling the company to you.
If this happens, you’re probably doing well.

Ineffective communication can be disastrous.There is a famous story of a British Army Commander who sent the message "Send reinforcements,we're going to advance." back to his Command Center,through a long chain of subordinates.When the message finally reached the Command Center,it had "mutated" to become -- "Send three and four-pence,we're going to a dance." The reinforcements never arrived.
You can demonstrate this same principle,albeit on a less dramatic scale,by trying to play Chinese Whispers with more than 20 people.It is highly unlikely the same message you started with will be the one you end with.
In a business,there are three main types of communication failure.Each has its own indicative signs.
•The first type is known as allocative failure.This occurs when a firm is not gathering enough intelligence about its market or (most often),the information is not reaching the right points.The firm will not be allocating resources in step with the shifts in demand.If demand is rising but the firm is suffering from allocative communication failure,then stocks will fall and there will be understaffing.If the inverse happens,there will be a surplus of stocks and overstaffing.
•The second type is executive failure,where communication to trigger specific events/actions is either late,lacking or in error.The symptoms of this are a general loss of direction in the company or departments,a loss of co-ordination and an increase in complaints from customers as things happen late or not at all.
•The final type is human failure.This occurs when the general culture of a business or the relationships between particular individuals or departments do not foster effective communication.This leads to alienated staff,an increase in staff turnover,an increase in absenteeism and general frustration among staff.Creativity,especially that which takes place across departmental boundaries,is likely to suffer hugely as team synergy slips.

Can Burglars Jam Your Wireless Security System？
A)Any product that promises to protect your home deserves careful examination. So it isn&39;t surprising that you’ll find plenty of strong opinions about the potential vulnerabilities of popular home-security systems.
B)The most likely type of burglary(入室盗窃)by far is the unsophisticated crime of opportunity, usually involving a broken window or some forced entry. According to the FBI, crimes like these accounted for roughly two-thirds of all household burglaries in the US in 2013. The wide majority of the rest were illegal, unforced entries that resulted from something like a window being left open. The odds of criminal using technical means to bypass a security system are so small that the FBI doesn’t even track those statistics.
C)One of the main theoretical home-security concerns is whether or not a given system is vulnerable to being blocked from working altogether. With wired setups, the fear is that a burglar(入室盗贼)might be able to shut your system down simply by cutting the right cable. With a wireless setup, you stick battery-powered sensors up around your home that keep an eye on windows, doors, motion, and more. If they detect something wrong while the system is armed, they’ll transmit a wireless alert signal to a base station that will then raise the alarm. That approach will eliminate most cord-cutting concerns—but what about their wireless equivalent, jamming？ With the right device tuned to the right frequency, what’s to stop a thief from jamming your setup and blocking that alert signal from ever reaching the base station？
D)Jamming concerns are nothing new, and they’re not unique to security systems. Any device that’s built to receive a wireless signal at a specific frequency can be overwhelmed by a stronger signal coming in on the same frequency. For comparison, let’s say you wanted to “jam” a conversation between two people—all you’d need to do is yell in the listener’s ear.
E)Security devices are required to list the frequencies they broadcast on—that means that a potential thief can find what they need to know with minimal Goog ling. They will, however, need to know what system they’re looking for. If you have a sign in your yard declaring what setup you use, that ’d point them in the right direction, though at that point, we’re talking about a highly targeted, semi-sophisticated attack, and not the sort of forced-entry attack that makes up the majority of burglaries. It’s easier to find and acquire jamming equipment for some frequencies than it is for others.
F)Wireless security providers will often take steps to help combat the threat of jamming attacks. Simpli Safe, winner of our Editors’ Choice distinction, utilizes a special system that’s capable of separating incidental RF interference from targeted jamming attacks. When the system thinks it’s being jammed, it’ll notify you via push alert (推送警报). From there, it’s up to you to sound the alarm manually.
G)Simpli Safe was singled out in one recent article on jamming, complete with a video showing the entire system being effectively bypassed with hand held jamming equipment. After taking appropriate measure to contain the RF interference to our test lab, we tested the attack out for ourselves, and were able to verify that it is possible with the right equipment. However, we also verified that Simpli Safe’s anti-jamming system works. It caught us in the act, sent an alert to my smart phone, and also listed our RF interference on the system’s event log. The team behind the article and video in question make no mention of the system, or whether or not it detected them.
H) We like the unique nature of that software. It means that a thief likely wouldn’t be able to Google how the system works, then figure out a way around it Even if they could, SimpliSafe claims that its system is always evolving, and that it varies slightly from system to system, which means there wouldn’t be a universal magic formula for cracking it Other systems also seem confident on the subject of jamming. The team at Front point addresses the issue in a blog on its site, citing their own jam protection software and claiming that there aren’t any documented cases of a successful jam attack since the company began offering wireless security sensors in the 1980s.
I)Jamming attacks are absolutely possible. As said before, with the right equipment and the right know-how, it’s possible to jam any wireless transmission. But how probable is it that someone will successfully jam their way into your home and steal your stuff？
J) Let’s imagine that you live in a small home with a wireless security setup that offers a functional anti-jamming system. First, a thief is going to need to target your home, specifically. Then, he’s going to need to know the technical details of your system and acquire the specific equipment necessary for jamming your specific setup. Presumably, you keep your doors locked at night and while you&39;re away, so the thief will still need to break in. That means defeating the lock somehow, or breaking a window. He’ll need to be jamming you at this point, as a broken window or opened door would normally release the alarm. So, too, would the motion detectors in your home, so the thief will need to continue jamming once he’s inside and searching for things to steal. However, he’ll need to do so without tripping the anti-jamming system, the details of which he almost certainly does not have access to.
K) At the end of the day, these kinds of systems are primarily designed to protect against the sort of opportunistic smash-and-grab attack that makes up the majority of burglaries. They’re also only a single layer in what should ideally be a many-sided approach to securing your home, one that includes common sense things like sound locks and proper exterior lighting at night. No system is impenetrable, and none can promise to eliminate the worst case completely. Every one of them has vulnerabilities that a knowledgeable thief could theoretically exploit. A good system is one that keeps that worst-case setting as improbable as possible while also offering strong protection in the event of a less-extraordinary attack.
36.It is possible for burglars to make jamming attacks with the necessary equipment and skill.
37.Interfering with a wireless security system is similar to interfering with a conversation.
38.A burglar has to continuously jam the wireless security device to avoid triggering the alarm, both inside and outside the house.
39.Simpli Safe provides devices that are able to distinguish incidental radio interference from targeted jamming attacks.
40.Only a very small proportion of burglaries are committed by technical means.
41.It is difficult to crack SimpliSafe as its system keeps changing.
42.Wireless devices will transmit signals so as to activate the alarm once something wrong is detected.
43.Different measures should be taken to protect one’s home from burglary in addition to the wireless security system.
44.Simpli Safe’s device can send a warning to the house owner’s cellphone.
45.Burglars can easily get a security device’s frequency by Internet search.

The meaning of “communication” goes a lot deeper than people often think. Communication is about conceiving, sending, receiving, and interpreting messages as well as confirming reception of these messages. A failure at any point in this chain can result in ineffective communication.
Ineffective communication can be disastrous. There is a famous story of a British Army Commander who sent the message “Send reinforcements, we're going to advance.” back to his Command Center, through a long chain of subordinates. When the message finally reached the Command Center, it had “mutated” to become -- “Send three and four-pence, we're going to a dance.” The reinforcements never arrived.

I was younger,” says Lindson-Hawley, who studies tobacco and health at theUniversity of Oxford.
[51] By studying about 700 adult smokers, she found out that mom quitthe right way — by stopping abruptly and completely.
In her Study, participants were randomly (随机地) assigned to two groups. Onehad to quit abruptly on a given day, going from about a pack a day to zero. The other cut down gradually overthe course of two weeks. [52]People in both groups used nicotine (尼古丁) patches before they quit, inaddition to a second form. of nicotinereplacement like gum or spray. They also hadtalk therapy with a nurse before and after quit day.
Sixmonths out, more people who had quit abruptly had stuck with it — more thanone-fifth of them, compared to about one-seventh in the other group.Although these numbers appear low, it’s a very, very low quit rate if people trywithout support.
And thequit rates were particularly convincing given that before the study started, mostof the people had said they’drather cut down gradually before quitting.[54] “If you’re training for a marathon, youwouldn’t expectto turn up and just be able to run it. And I think people see that for smokingas well. They think, ‘Well, ifI gradually reduce, it’s almost practice,’” says Lindson-Hawley.But that wasn’t the case. [55] Instead of giving people practice,the gradual reduction likely gave them cravings(瘾) and withdrawal before they evenreached the quit day, which could be why fewer people in that group actuallymade it to that point.[53]“Regardlessof your stated preference, if you’re ready to quit, quittingabruptly is more effective,” says Dr.Gabriela Ferreira. “When youcan quote a specific number like a fifth of the patients were able to quit,that’s acompelling number, and I think that translates to the patient. It gives themthe encouragement, I think, to really go for it,” Ferreira says.
Peoplerarely manage to quit the first time they try. But at least, she says, they canmaximize the odds of success.

A) She quit smoking with herdaughter’s help.
B) She succeeded in quittingsmoking abruptly.
C) She was also a researcher oftobacoo and health.
D) She studied the smokingpatterns of adult smokers.

A) They were given physicaltraining.
B) They were looked after byphysicians.
C) They were encouraged bypsychologist.

听力原文：W: So what are the two main times of the day that you watch TV？
M: Well, a little around breakfast time and then it tends to be really late— eleven or even midnight—when I've finished work.
W: And what sort of programs do you go for？
M: Some news bulletins but I also really like to put my feet up with some of the old comedy shows.
W: Fine. And turning to the new channel...which type of programs would you like to see more of？
M: Well, I certainly don't think we need any more factual programs like news and documentaries. I think we need more about things like local in formation...you know, providing a service for the community. And in the same vein, perhaps more for younger viewers...you know, good quality stuff.
W: Ah ha. And if you had to give the new directors some specific advice when they set up the channel, what advice would you give theme
M: I think I'd advice them to pay more attention to the quality of the actual broadcast, you know, the sound system. They ought to do lots more of these kinds of interview, you know, talking with their potential customers.
W: Oh, I'm glad you think it's valuable!
M: Certainly...yeah.
W: Good. Ok, this will be a commercial channel of course, but how often do you think it is tolerable to have adverts？
M: Well out of that list I'd say every quarter of an hour. I don't think we can complain about that, as long as they don't last for ten minutes each time!
W: Quite. And…would you be willing to attend any of our special promotions for the new channel？
M: Yes, I'd be very happy to, as long as they're held here in my area.
W: Thank you very much for your time.
