单选题Filling in company application forms can become a boring and repetitive task, yet any carelessness on an applicant's part can draw a negative reaction from readers. Each company or organization usually uses its own specially designed form that, although it generally asks for the same basic information, may vary in detail. Consequently the suggestions below apply mainly to the approach you should take rather than suggest what you should write.—When visiting future employers, always carry your personal data record with you so that you can readily search for details such as dates, telephone numbers, and other useful information.—Treat every application form as though it is the first one you are completing. Write carefully and neatly.—Use words that describe the responsibility and different aspects of each job you have held rather than list only the duties you performed.—Particularly describe social activities that show your involvement in the community, or activities in which you held a teaching or coaching role.—Pay particular attention if there is a section on the form that asks you to comment on how your education and past experience have especially prepared you for the position.—Think this through very carefully before you write so that what you say shows a natural progression from past experience to the job you are applying for. If you can, and if they fit naturally, add a few words to demonstrate how the position fits your overall career plan.

单选题 An indigenous tribe in the Peruvian Amazon, the Mashco-Piro, has been trying to make contact with outsiders. In the past, the Mashco-Piro have always resisted interaction with strangers, avoiding—and sometimes killing—any they encounter. Most tribes have had a little, at least indirectly. 'There's always some contact with other isolated tribes, which have contact with other indigenous people, which in turn have contact with the outside world,' says Rebecca Spooner, of Survival International, a London-based organization that advocates for the rights of indigenous peoples. Many of the Amazon tribes choose to avoid contact with outsiders because they have had unpleasant encounters in the past. According to Glenn Shepard, an ethnologist at the Emilio Goeldi Museum in Belem, Brazil, this came after rubber companies massacred tribespeople at the turn of the 20th century. For this reason, some researchers refer to such tribes as 'voluntarily isolated', rather than uncontacted. More recent invasions, especially by miners, oil workers and loggers, may have reinforced the tribes' xenophobia (排外心理). A visiting New Scientist reporter was warned that any unclothed native should be regarded as uncontacted and, thus, very dangerous. In Peru, laws prohibit outsiders from initiating contact with isolated groups in most cases. They also provide protected areas where tribes can live in peace—but there are loopholes (漏洞) that allow oil and mining companies into the region. Brazil has similar laws and policies that allow contact only in life- threatening situations. Anthropologists have an ethical obligation to do no harm to their research subjects, according to the American Anthropological Association's Statement on Ethics. Often, they feel forced out by encroaching (逐渐渗透的) civilization, says Spooner. Survival International has documented some cases where settlements have been bulldozed (推倒) and tribespeople harassed—or even killed. This leaves the survivors feeling like they have no option but to give up. Others see a more benign (和善的) process at work, at least some of the time. 'Tribes may seek contact with outsiders because they begin to trust their intentions,' says Kim Hill, an anthropologist at Arizona State University. 'As soon as the tribes believe they might have some peaceful contact, all these groups want some outside interaction,' he says. 'It's a human trait to want to expand our contacts.' Modern medicine, metal tools and education can also exert a powerful pull. Often, there is a lot of disease because the tribespeople are exposed to novel germs. It is not uncommon for half the population to die of respiratory illness—unless outsiders bring sustained medical care, says Hill. Also, the newly integrated tribespeople frequently end up on the lowest rung of the society they join. Still. he says, when he interviews such people years later, 'I don't find anyone, pretty much, who would want to go back to the old situation.'

单选题Roger lived in the city of London, and his hair was always cut by the same old man. He always cut Roger's hair as Roger liked it, and while he was doing it, the two men talked about football. One day, when Roger was sitting in his chair, and his hair was being cut as usual, the old man said to him, "Roger, I'm going to be seventy years old next month and I feel tired, so I'm going to sell my shop to a young man. He liked to cut hair for people." Roger was sorry to hear that, because he enjoyed talking to the old man, and he was also worried that his hair would not be cut as well by the new young man as it had been for so many years by his old friend. He went to the shop again the next month, and the new young man was there. He cut Roger's hair, but he did it badly. The next month, Roger went into the shop again. The young man asked him how he would like his hair cut, and Roger answered, "Please cut it very short on the right side, but leave it as it is on the left. It must cover my ear. On top, cut all the hair away in the middle, but leave a piece at the front." The young man was very surprised when he heard this, "But sir," he said, "I can't cut your hair like that! "" Why not? " Roger asked. "That's how you cut it last time./

单选题 They put on their headphones, drape a hood over their head and drift off into the world of 'digital highs.' Videos posted on YouTube show a young girl freaking out and leaping up in fear, a teenager shaking violently and a young boy in extreme distress. This is the world of 'i-Dosing, ' the new craze sweeping the Internet in which teenagers used so-called 'digital drugs' to change their brains in the same way as real-life narcotics (毒品). They believe the repetitive drone-like music will give them a 'high' that takes them out of reality, only legally available and downloadable on the Internet. Those who come up with the 'doses' claim different tracks mimic different sensations you can feel by taking drugs like Ecstasy (迷幻药). The reactions have been partially sceptical but some songs have become wildly popular, receiving nearly half a million hits on YouTube. There has been such alarm in the US that the Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs has issued a warning to children not to do it. 'Kids are going to flock to these sites just to see what it is about and it can lead them to other places, ' spokesman Mark Woodward said. He added that parental awareness is key to preventing future problems, since i-Dosing could indicate a willingness to experiment with drugs. Schools in the Mustang area recently sent out a letter warning parents about the new trend after several high school students reported having physiological effects after trying one of these digital downloads. I-Dosing tracks have imposing names such as 'Gates of Hades' or 'Hand of God' which are ten minutes long—some sound like a ship's horn being repeated again and again whilst others are more rough and resemble cheap synthesizers (电声合成器) being played very fast. But although they use a very modern method of spreading themselves, i-Dosing is actually a variation on a very old method of achieving an altered state. In 1839 German physicist Heinrich Wilhelm Dove found that two tones played at slightly different frequencies in each ear makes the listener think they are hearing a quick beat. He called the phenomenon 'binaural beats,' and it has been the subject of research in the two centuries since. This therapy is used in clinical settings to research hearing and sleep cycles, to induce various brain wave states, and treat anxiety. Dr. Helane Wahbeh, a Naturopathic Physician and Clinician Researcher at the Oregon Health and Science University, said: 'Binaural beats happen when opposite ears receive two different sound waves. And normally, the difference in sound between each ear helps people get directional information about the source of the sound. But when you listen to these sounds with stereo headphones, the listener senses the difference between the two frequencies as another beat that sounds like it's coming from the inside of the head.'
