5 . Turning on the TV, a wonderful scene comes to your eyes — a group of men, tall, strong and handsome, and women, young, beautiful and attractive, too. Together they eat in the finest restaurants, traveling everywhere around the world by luxurious planes and pleasure ships. They are models.
Do you envy them?What sort of life are models leading?Is it a wonderful life for a young lady or a young man?
A few models are well-known actors or actresses who can make a lot of money only by showing themselves off in commercials. But the majority of them are just curious to see what it is like. They’d like to be models just because they are attracted by what they imagine — models earn a lot of money and lead a glorious life. This is true for those who are very successful. However, most models find it difficult to get work. Very few can earn enough to live on, and for all models their expenses are high. Their agents claim about 20% of the earnings, and no model will get very far without a clever agent. Besides, they have to buy good clothing. They also have to pay to travel to interviews and reach the places where the work is to be done.
Interviews for a model job are known as cattle markets in the modeling world, and not without a good reason. A top model can choose his or her work, demand and receive high fees and has his or her expenses paid. But for most models, the situation is quite different. An agent or employer inspects each model much as a farmer inspects cattle at a market. Intelligence, qualifications and personal characteristics count for little against good looks and tight figures. For all except the very few lucky ones, the life of a model is a continual search for work, trying to sell him or her in the face of fierce competition and, sometimes, not particularly moral standards on the part of some employers.
Immigration officials at the airport look suspiciously at a girl whose passport shows her occupation as “Model”, and these are men and women of considerable experience of the world. It comes no surprise to find that some models prefer to put “Secretary” or “Businessman” as their jobs in their passports.
1. For models, their good looks and tight figures are _________,compared with their intelligence and qualifications.A.more important | B.less needed |

7 . Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs. Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices. Whatever we are wearing,our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.
A high school newspaper editor said it is unfair for companies to discourage visible tattoos (纹身)nose rings, or certain dress styles. It is true you can’t judge a book by its cover, yet people do “cover” themselves in order to convey certain messages. What we wear, including tattoos and nose rings, is an expression of who we are. Just as people convey messages about themselves with their appearances, so do companies. Dress standards exist in the business world for a number of reasons, but the main concern is often about what customers accept.
Others may say how to dress is a matter of personal freedom, but for businesses it is more about whether to make or lose money. Most employers do care about the personal appearances of their employees ,because those people represent the companies to their customers.
As a hiring manager I am paid to choose the people who would make the best impression on our customers. There are plenty of well-qualified candidates, so it is not wrong to reject someone who might disappoint my customers. Even though I am open-minded, I can’t expect all our customers are.
There is nobody to blame but yourself if your set of choices does not match that of your preferred employer. No company should have to change to satisfy a candidate simply because he or she is unwilling to respect its standards, as long as its standards are legal.
1. Which of the following is the newspaper editor’ opinion according to Paragraph 2?A.People’s appearances carry messages about themselves. |
B.Customers’ choices influence dress standards in companies. |
C.Candidates with tattoos or nose rings should be fairly treated. |
D.Strange dress styles should not be encouraged in the workplace. |
A.Candidates have to wear what companies prefer for an interview. |
B.What to wear is not a matter of personal choice for companies. |
C.Companies sometimes have to change to respect their candidates. |
D.Hiring managers make the best impression on their candidates. |
A.Employees Matter | B.Personal Choices Matter |
C.Appearances Matter | D.Hiring Managers Matter |

I’ve learned from the newspaper that your company is looking for receptionist (接待员). I’m very interesting in the job and I’d like to apply to the job.
First of all, allow me to introduce myself. I had just graduated from senior high school and taken the College Entrance Examination. I want to find out a part-time job in summer. I’m 18 year old and have a good knowledge of English, especial in terms of speaking and listening. In fact, I once won the first prize in the English speech competition hold in our school. Besides, I’m quite easy-going but therefore very popular among my classmates.
I sincerely hope you can give us a chance. I’m looking forward to your early reply.
