2、rocedureInterview, as an important means to recruit employees, happens every day in our modern lives. Most students have received or will receive one or more after their graduation. Popular as it is, an interview raises plenty of arguments. Some people regard it as an efficient way while others thin

3、k it is impossible to know a persons real ability and character in such a short time. In my opinion, it is a proper and effective way to recruit employees.To begin with, interviews provide employers as well as employees opportunities to learn about each other. In order to get the position, job hunte

4、rs should present their excellent qualities and abilities and try their best to get the interviewers attention and appreciation. A number of questions are carefully designed by the interviewer to figure out whether a candidate is qualified for the company or the position. Through the questions and a

5、nswers, not only the job hunters abilities, characters and hobbies are revealed, but also what the companies can give to the candidates are known, such as their salary, career future and so on . （104字） Secondly the interview embodies the concept of fairness. In the interview, all the candidates face

6、 the same situation. They are questioned and scored by the same group of interviewers, which makes the selection more objective and democratic. Whats more, nothing else but personal ability matters and is the decisive factor to obtain the job. An interview is not only a procedure for companies to se

7、lect new employees but also a procedure for job hunters to select their satisfied companies. As to the right to choose, employees and employers are equal. （90字） 1+ 5句Thirdly, interviews broaden the choice range of both interviewers and interviewees. Companies that need a lot of talents can hold a bi

8、g interview to look for the candidates they really want. If they cannot find enough, they can hold another. The interviewees, on the other hand, can attend several interviews to find the most appropriate companies in which they wish to work and develop. （64字） To sum up, interviews have many advantag

9、es and before any better means are created, it is the best way to recruit employees. With the development of our society, it surely plays more and more important roles in making full use of the resources of talents. （45字）2006Joseph Epstein, a famous American writer, once said, We decide what is impo

10、rtant and what is trivial in life. We decide (so) that what makes us significant is either what we do or what we refuse to do. But no matter how different the universe may be to our choices and decisions, these choices and decisions are ours to make. We decide. We choose. And as we decide and choose

11、, so are our lives formed. In the end, forming our own destiny is what ambition is about. Do you agree or disagree with him? Write an essay of about 400 words entitled: Ambition Ambition is the decision one makes and the resolution with which he or she carries out that decision. It provides us with

12、the required driving force to accomplish any undertakings in our lives. Just as Joseph Epstein, a famous American writer put it, “And as we decide and choose, so are our lives formed.” Indeed, once we make up our minds to choose to do something, then our life becomes meaningful and specifically orie

13、ntated. This notion of life, as far as I observe, is closest to truth and does apply to almost all aspects of life. First, ambition renders us a sense of mission. No matter what decision you make, you have to be responsible for your choice. Your choice procures you a sense of orientation, or more sp

14、ecially a sense of mission. And only a strong mission may enable one to accomplish greatness. Caesar of the ancient Roman Empire was urged by his ambition “I came, I saw, I conquered”, and became an unrivaled empire builder in the history of Rome. John Milton, stimulated always by his ambition that

15、aimed at writing some “mighty lines” which England would unwillingly forget, had in due time secured his position as the second Shakespeare in the history of English literature. In the second place, ambition can bring ones potentials to the full. Ambition may well serve as a catalyst(催化剂) activating

16、 ones potentials. Without ambition ones potentials will remain slumbering like a dormant volcano. A case in point is Ms Zhang Haidi, a Chinese Helen Keller. It was her ambition to be a useful person that has turned the almost paralyzed Zhang Haidi into a well-accomplished figure whose achievements w

17、ould dwarf those of some normal people aiming at the sun, though, at worst, they may probably land on the moon. Influential as it is upon us, however, ambition must be channeled in the right direction. If wrongly directed, ones ambition may bring havoc on him and others. Hitler, whose ambition was t

18、o conquer Europe by whatever evil means, finally turned him into a demon. It was this demon that almost cast Europe into anguish and suffering. Another case is Macbeth whose ambition was to become the king of Scotland. However, his ambition was materialized by the murder of King Duncan. Consequently

19、, unbearable guilt and psychological agony drove him to his tragic doom. To sum up, ambition can benefit us tremendously if wisely and correctly channeled, otherwise it may ruin others and ourselves. A poet says: life can be bad; life can be good; life can be dirty; life can be sad; life can even be

20、 painful. In my minds eye, a person can make his life beautiful, meaningful and rewarding and stand out as a respectable personage if he is motivated by a well-oriented ambition.2007Some people think that financial disparity affects friendship. What do you think? Write an essay of about 400words.In

21、the first part of your essay you should state clearly your main argument, and in the second part you should support your argument with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary. Marks will be awarded for content, organizati

22、on, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.People have long been dominated by a fixed notion that friendship rests more largely on economic status shared by friends than anything else. They believe that financial disparity will definitely

23、affect friendship. Indeed, “Birds of a feather flock together.”Unfortunately, this notion of friendship cannot always apply. The possible truth is that, in a harmonious universe, birds of different feathers can and should be flying together. Therefore, one is sure to have friends from different econ

24、omic backgrounds, and true friendship transcends financial differences. It embraces the quality of being genuine, lasting and productive.To begin with, true friendship should be genuine. Genuine friendship does not assume the commonly held view that financial equality can nurture a harmonious relati

25、onship between friends. Karl Marx and Engels, two great German thinkers, have provided an undisputable example in this regard. They came from totally different families, the former being financially disadvantaged while the latter being a son of wealthy capitalist. However, unlike table friends who m

26、ight value various material comforts, they developed genuine friendship that helped refuel the two great minds. Together, they contributed to the treasure of human thoughts that has exerted the greatest impact on the course of history. Their example is educational in that their life-long friendship

27、shows unmistakably that money counts least in true friendship.Additionally, true friendship should be lasting. People say nothing lasts in the world. But as far as I am concerned, true friendship does last forever. With lasting friendship, friends can go far both in life and career. A notable Chines

28、e ancient novel Three Kingdoms renders a typical case in point. LiuBei, GuanYu and ZhangFei, the three protagonists of the book, who were sworn brothers, notwithstanding they were from totally different socio-economic backgrounds. Liu was penniless despite the fact that he believed he had descended

29、from aristocracy; Guan, a tramp from modern standard of judgment; Zhang, a wealthy landlord. Their friendship was formed long before they were successful. They clung to their friendship no matter what befell them. With permanent friendship the three lived a meaningful life. With abiding friendship t

30、hey built a prosperous kingdom called Shu. Ever since then, their friendship has become a legend.Last but not least, true friendship should be productive. Of course, no one could deny the fact that in seeking friendship, one has some personal concerns like enjoying the company of friends, wining and

31、 dining, etc. But the best way to perpetuate good friendship is certainly to make it productive. During the Chinese Cultural Revolution, my uncle met some intellectuals, who suffered from political persecution and lived in sheer poverty. Rather than look down upon or shun them, my uncle treated them

32、 as equal and made them his life-long friends. Together they started their own business when China implemented the opening-up policy some 10 years ago. Through fair and foul, and above all their joined efforts, they finally turned their concern into one of China 500. And today their relationship is

33、more solid than ever before. As Bacon wrote, “We die as often as we lose a friend.” Few could live a rich, abundant and eager life without friends. Making friends and maintaining lasting friendship are an indispensable part of a successful and happy existence. If we consider what makes a good friend, money is the l
