单选题 "What though I am a man of firmness and vigour, fortune is {{U}}mutable{{/U}} and either my enemies will do me or my friends." So muses narrator Thomas Cromwell in Hilary Mantel's thrilling new historical novel Bring Up the Bodies, the sequel to her Booker Prize-winning hit, Wolf Halt. That book, too, came through the eyes of Cromwell, close advisor to King Henry VIII and chief architect of his first divorce, from Katherine of Aragon, and later of his far bloodier separation from Anne Boleyn. In Mantel's care, Cromwell is a sensitive storyteller, as conscious of his own motivations as he is of other's perceptions, accepting that history may paint him as more of a villain than a man of vigor. It is a prescient realization—Henry will later turn against Cromwell and order him executed for treason—but in the world of Bring Up the Bodies, he is still at the height of his powers, shaping the destiny of the king and the women who buzz around the monarch like hungry flies. Before Wolf Hall was published, those who followed the bloody Tudor saga could muster little sympathy for Cromwell. He was, after all, the mastermind behind the dissolution of the Catholic church in England and the gory death of Henry's second queen, all to satiate Henry's carnal desires and hot pursuit of a male heir. It was Henry who wanted out, but it was Cromwell who found the way. Mantel brilliantly manages to find the humanity in his story; beyond power-grabbing and a killer instinct lies a man of deep complexity and reason, trying to do the best for his sovereign and his family at the same time. Bring Up the Bodies continues from where Wolf Hall ended; Henry has married the wily, mysterious Anne Boleyn, who has given birth to baby Elizabeth, but no male child. As he has no way of knowing that his daughter will go on to become one of the great English monarchs, Henry is in despair. He is also infatuated, with the young Jane Seymour, a fair girl of gentle breeding who serves as Anne's lady-in-waiting and first flirts with Henry during his visit to her family's home at Wolf Hall. Once besotted, the impetuous king wastes no time in making his desires known to his advisors, and it is up to Cromwell to concoct a clever plan to overthrow Anne. Cromwell and his cronies devise a way to accuse Anne of adultery and high treason; where she was once the most powerful woman m England, "she is tainted now," Cromwell remarks. "She is dead meat." Anne's fate is an old and familiar tale, but in Mantel's hands, the tragedy of the Boleyn girl becomes something new. Mantel flushes out the ambiguities, the dark corners of doubt where Cromwell questions his own actions. In his world, nothing is clear, nothing is certain. When Katherine, Henry's former bride, finally dies after years of being shoved aside, Cromwell realizes how very close England came to war and ruin on her account. "How close we hold our enemies[" he muses. "They are our families, our other selves."

单选题Five Interviewing Fundamentals The most important thing to find out when you interview someone is if you like the person. You can teach someone to be competent in the skills you need, but you can't teach someone to have an appealing personality. No matter what the person talks about for thirty minutes--really, much fewer than thirty--you can figure out if you like them. 1. Learn how to conduct an interview. You need to understand what is driving the interviewer and how he or she is thinking. So know enough about the interview process to put yourself in your counterpart's shoes. If the person is bad at interviewing, you can run the show. If the person is good, you have to figure out how to meet their agenda, make your points, and still be likeable. 2. Learn from other people's mistakes. The best way to see people making errors in interviews is to interview them yourself. But you can also read about other people's interviewing incompetence.Jobaloo.com shows how candidates misread a seemingly innocuous question. And CareerBuilder.com lists some examples of extremely bad judgment. 3. Know your agenda. What is the image you are trying to convey in the interview? Match that to the kind of job you are trying to land. You should have three points about yourself that you aim to get across in the interview. Before I became a full-time writer, mine were: great at executing a plan, a manager who everyone loves to work for, very reliable. I wanted those points to come across because I wanted to be hired to a position where I would have a lot of responsibility to execute a visionary plan and manage a large team. 4. Practise. You can find lots of lists about how to interview well. Take a look at them and you'll notice that they are all about practising: Avoid too much information, cut the puffy stuff, know your strengths and weaknesses. These are all things you can practise. If you think you can wing it in an interview, you're wrong. There are no questions that cannot benefit from preparation, so any question you look unprepared for makes you look clueless about the interview process at best and lazy at worst. 5. Be comfortable with silence. People who can remain calm during silence look powerful and comfortable with themselves. People who have to fill silence end up saying stupid things. Part of your interview practice should be to sit, saying nothing, so you are comfortable when that happens in an interview.
