People don't use their middle names very much. So" John Henry Brown" is usually called "John Brown". People never use Mr.; Mrs. or Miss before their first names. So you can say John Brown, or Mr. Brown; but you should never say Mr. John. They use Mr. , Mrs. or Miss with the family name but never with the first name.
Sometimes people ask me about my name. "When were you born, why did your parents call you Jim?" they ask. "Why did they choose that name? The answer is they didn't call me Jim. They called me James. James was the name of my grandfather'. In England, people usually call me Jim for short. That's because it is shorter and easier than James.
Most English people have ______ name(s).
A.one
B.two
C.three
D.four
Another thing that makes money exchanges more complicated is tipping. The Chinese people have happily put an end to tipping, but Westerners are still plagued with this indignity. Waiters and waitresses, cab drivers, hotel bellboys, barbers and hairdressers and all sorts of other people must be tipped. Their employers give them low wages because it is expected that you, the customer, will make up the difference. If you don' t, the service person can' t earn a living. Tipping also varies from place to place, generally in the area of 15% of your bill (before taxes), but again you should ask local residents whom to tip and how much.
There is another kind of tipping as well. You are generally expected to give something (either cash or a bottle of whisky) to the mailman and to your building "super" at Christmas time. You should discuss this also with neighbors and colleagues.
The main idea of this passage is ______.
A.shopping and tipping
B.sales and shopping
C.sales taxes and tipping
D.sales taxes and people
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.
