Think about driving a route that’s very familiar.It could be your commute to work, a trip into town or the way home.Whichever it is, you know every twist and turn like the back of your hand.On these sorts of trips it’s easy to lose concentration on the driving and pay little attention to the passing scenery.The consequence is that you perceive that the trip has taken less time than it actually has. This is the well-travelled road effect: People tend to underestimate the time it takes to travel a familiar route. The effect is caused by the way we allocate our attention.When we travel down a well-known route, because we don’t have to concentrate much, time seems to flow more quickly.And afterwards, when we come to think back on it, we can’t remember the journey well because we didn’t pay much attention to it.So we assume it was shorter.

参考答案和解析

答案：

解析：

设想开车行驶一条你非常熟悉的路线。那可能是上班的，进城或回家的必经之路。无论是哪条路，你都会对它的迂回曲折了如指掌。在这样的行驶中你很容易将精力集中在驾驶上而忽视路过的风景。结果，这就使得你会认为行驶路程应该比它实际上需要的时间少。这就是熟悉旅途效应：人们趋于低估熟悉路程的所需时间。我们的注意力分配情况导致了这种效应。当我们在我们非常熟悉的道路上行驶时，由于不需要太集中精力认路，所以时间似乎过得很快。而且事后，当我们试图回忆这个旅程时也不怎么能记得清楚，因为我们确实没有关注太多。所以我们就想当然认为路程是短了一些。

Harmless Revenge

Revenge is one of those things that everyone enjoys.People don't like to talk about it,though.Just the
same,there is nothing more satisfying or more rewarding than revenge.The purpose is not to harm your vic-
tims but to let them know that you are upset about something that they are doing to you.Careful plotting can
provide you with relief from bothersome co-workers,gossiping friends,or nagging family members.
Co-workers who make comments about the fact that you are always fifteen minutes late for work can be
taken care of very simply.All you have to do is get up extra early one day.Before the sun comes up,drive
to each coworker's house.Reach under the hood of your coworker's car and disconnect the center wire that
leads to the distributor cap,the car will be unharmed,but it will not start,and your friends at work will all
be late for work on the same day.If you're lucky,your boss might notice that you are the only one there and
will give you a raise.
Gossiping friends at school are also perfect targets for a simple act of revenge.A way to trap either male
or female friends is to leave phony messages on their lockers.If the friend that you want to get is male,leave
a message that a certain girl would like him to stop by her house later that day.With any luck,her boyfriend
will be there.The girl won't know what's going on,and the victim will be so embarrassed that he probably
won't leave his home for a month.
When Mom and Dad and your sisters and brothers really begin to annoy you,harmless revenge may be
just the way to make them quiet down for a while.The dinner table is a likely place.Just before the meal
begins,throw a handful of raisins into the food.Wait about five minutes and,after everyone has begun to
eat,cover your mouth with your hand and begin to make odd noises.When they ask you what the matter is,
point to a raisin and yell,"Bugs!"They dump their food in the disposal,jump into the car,and head for
McDonald'a.That night,you'll have your first quiet,peaceful meal in a long time.
A well-planned revenge does not have to hurt anyone.The object is simply to let other people know that
they are beginning to bother you.

As a harmless revenge,you might come first and get a raise by________.
A:making your colleagues come late
B:getting up earlier than your colleagues
C:destroying your colleagues' cars
D:pleasing your boss

答案：A

解析：

由文章第一段和最后一段可知，无恶意的报复行为是为了让你的报复对象知道他们打扰到你了。B项：对打扰你的人采取行动是正确的。

由文章第三段最后一句话可知，女孩对此一无所知。
由文章倒数第二段可知，要想摆脱唠叨的家人，可以在晚饭前丢一把葡萄干到食物里，然后在开饭时指着葡萄干对他们说：“有虫子！”由此可知，家人们随后倒掉食物是因为A项：他们误认为食物被糟蹋了。

Knowing Your Real Personality from Sleeping Positions Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don't show your secret personality when you're awake because you, can control yourself,but when you're asleep,your sleeping position shows the real you .In a normal night,of course,you often change your sleeping positions .The important position that best shows your se- cret personality is the one that you go to sleep. If you go to sleep on your back,you're a very open person .You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas.You don't like to make people unhappy,so you never ex- press your real feelings.You're quite shy and you aren't very confident. If you sleep on your stomach,you are a person who likes to keep secrets.You worry a lot and you're always easily becoming sad.You never want to change your ideas,but you are satisfied with your life the way it is .You usually live for today not for tomorrow. If you sleep on curled up,you are probably a very nervous person.You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt,so you are very defensive .You're shy and you don't usually like meeting people.You like to be on your own. If you sleep on your side,you have usually got a well-balanced personality.You know your strengths and weaknesses.You're usually careful. You have a confident personality.You sometimes feel worried,but you don't often get unhappy .You always say what you think,even if it makes people angry.

Interviews are part of most people' s working life. Here are some handy tips on how to do your best at interviews.

Don' t mistakenly think that your interviewers want to know about you. They are interested only in that small part of you that can or can' t do the job they have advertised.

sadly , many of us are so flattered by questions such as "Tell me about your strengths" that we take it as an invitation to chatter and make fools of ourselves.

Never think that lots of enthusiasm is enough. sit down with a pen , paper and the job description ，and work out the skills and qualities they are looking for.

Itemize your technical or professional skills as they match the requirements of the job. Then recall an incident to illustrate each of these skills. When you have done this

, you will be in a position to begin justifying your ability and suitability.

Remember that very few questions are lightly asked.

If your interviewers are interviewing more than a couple of candidates , they have probably worked up a list of eight to ten questions to put to each person. In well-organized businesses , they will be making marks in their notebooks as you give your replies. An imprecise answer will show that you do not appreciate the value of the question. s0 think through how you can give strong

, specific answers to questions such as "Can you work well in a team or on your own or in a small business?"

Avoid giving them reasons to exclude you. You want to appear the sort of person who will help out in a crisis. make the tea sometimes even if it is not your job. be tolerant of others. whatever their age ,sex , race or religion ,

and be easy to manage. Don't attack your previous employer as it suggests you might attack your now one.

Try asking them a few questions. If you ask what sort of projects you would be likely to start work on ,you might then get back some very useful feedback. If they start opening Up

to you , you can get into a more equal conversation and may have an opportunity to show that you can deal with the sort of situation they are describing.

31. The passage is to show the applicant how to ( )

A. prepare for a job interview

B. do their best at a job interview

C. impress the interviewers at a job interview

32. The applicant should not attack his previous boss at the interview because ( )

A. the interviewer and the applicant' s previous boss may be birds of a feather

B. a man who speaks ill of somebody else in the back is not reliable and trustworthy

C. the interviewer may think that， if one attacks his previous employer now , he might attack his new one later

33. Why is it good for the applicant to ask the interviewer a few questions? ( )

A. He can have more chance of demonstrating his ability.

B. He can learn more about the interviewer' s likes and dislikes.

C. He can make the interview run in the way in his favor.

34. According to the passage , which of the following is true? ( )

A. Y ou should answer every question raised by the interviewer as thoroughly as possible.

B. You should try your best to flatter the interviewer and never disagree with him.

C. It is foolish to take the question "Tell me about your strengths" as an invitation to chatter.
