单选题The job interview is an ordeal that most people face at some stage in our career. But as video starts to take the place of the face-to-face interview, is it easier or harder now to land your dream job? The job interview as we know it may never have existed if it wasn"t for Thomas Edison. Frustrated with hiring college graduates who lacked the right knowledge, Edison devised the first employment questionnaire to narrow down his applicant pool. The survey was thought to be so difficult that in 1921 the New York Times nicknamed it as "Tom Foolery test" and claimed only a "walking encyclopedia" could succeed. Questions included: "What is the weight of air in a room 20ft x 30ft x 10ft?" But today the trick to making a good impression at interview may be less about what you know and more about how you come across on camera. Looking in the wrong place is just one of the common pitfalls of video interviews, says New York based career coach and blogger Megan Broussard. "It"s tempting to watch yourself in that little box to make sure your hair isn"t in your face or that you"re not making weird facial expressions. But the truth is that it is very distracting to the other party and can come across as shy and even insincere—two qualities both employers and new hires want to avoid. " The UK company, Webrecruit, reports a steady increase in the use of automated video interviewing over the past few years. Employers can view recorded responses from candidates in their own time. "Clients will input their questions, and then the candidate receives an automated email inviting them to sit the interview," explains Webrecruit"s Leona Matson. "The interviewee can then sit the interview within an allocated time frame, the answers are recorded, and then the client can view it at a time that suits them." In 2012 employers in the UK spent an average of 10 working days interviewing, 16% of the working week travelling to meet candidates and ￡3,286 reimbursing candidates" travel expenses, according to a survey carried out by Cammio—a Dutch company specialising in online video services. For large firms with international graduate schemes, the savings can be significant. Sellafield"s graduate scheme cited cost savings of ￡14,000 using video technology to screen interview candidates. The European Organization for Nuclear Research (EONR) also report cutting recruitment costs by 20% using automated video assessments for first-round interviews.

单选题Hawaii's native minority is demanding a greater degree of sovereignty over its own affairs. But much of the archipelago's political establishment, which includes the White Americans who dominated until the Second World War and people of Japanese, Chinese and Filipino origins, is opposed to the idea. The islands were annexed by the US in 1898 and since then Hawaii's native peoples have fared worse than any of its other ethnic groups. They make up over 60 per cent of the state's homeless, suffer higher levels of unemployment and their life span is five years less than average Hawaiians. They are the only major Hawaiian native group without any degree of autonomy. But a sovereignty advisory committee set up by Hawaii's first native governor, John Waihee, has given the natives' cause a major boost by recommending that the Hawaiian natives decide by themselves whether to re-establish a sovereign Hawaiian nation. However, the Hawaiian natives are not united in their demands. Some just want greater autonomy within the state—as enjoyed by many American Indian natives over matters such as education. This is a position supported by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA), a state agency set up in 1978 to represent the natives' interests and which has now become the moderate face of the native sovereignty movement. More ambitious is the Ka Lahui group, which declared itself a new nation in 1987 and wants full, official independence from the US. But if Hawaiian natives are given greater autonomy, it is far from clear how many people this will apply to. The state authorities only count as native those people with more than 50 per cent Hawaiian blood. Native demands are not just based on political grievances, though. They also want their claim on 660,000 hectares of Hawaiian crown land to be accepted. It is on this issue that native groups are facing most opposition from the state authorities. In 1933, the state government paid the OHA US $136 million in back rent on the crown land and many officials say that by accepting this payment the agency has given up its claims to legally own the land. The OHA has vigorously disputed this.

单选题{{B}}Passage 1{{/B}} Software piracy problems exist and have been exacerbated in recent years due to IS overload, decentralized purchasing, budget constraints, general user and corporate management attitudes, lack of knowledge of the copyright laws, and now Internet access. Most organizations have not managed their software very effectively. Determining the extent of the problem is a time-consuming process. The industry's response has been to form trade associations to educate the public about the copyright law and to aggressively pursue pirates. Some of the largest PC companies have set up their own in-house programs to combat the problem. Corporate exposure is increasing due to the need to manage more machines, software and on-line and Internet access. Civil and criminal penalties for copyright infringement have stiffened. As a result, trade association resources have increased significantly as well as calls to hotlines from unhappy employees due to corporate downsizing. When infringing software is reported, the company is at risk of embarrassing litigation for copyright infringement. The company will most probably lose as the copyright holder usually has a "smoking gun" based on reports from former employees or other whistle blowers. There is also the simple fact that no matter how hard the IS staff try, there are and always will be copies of software programs that cannot be validated by purchasing records. They come in from home, are created by otherwise conscientious employees trying to get their jobs done or just unauthorized copies by purchasing records. They come in unauthorized copies created by cost conscious managers and employees. Internet access only increases these problems as software is downloaded from sites worldwide. A software management program will reduce the risks from using counterfeit or copied software and help avoid damage from viruses and corrupt programs. By conducting an audit before infringement is reported the corporation will reduce its exposure. It is easy to inventory software programs on any particular machine. However, matching the software to the licensing documents is no easy task. Interpreting the variety of software licenses takes familiarity with industry business and licensing practices. Networks make the task much more complex. Internet access compounds the problem. Employers should set guidelines for when and how to download software and data from on-line services and the Internet. Most software vendors maintain on-line support and provide the ability to download bug fixes and program updates. However, one bad virus can wreak havoc throughout a company's networks and shut down the whole system. Firewall technology that controls access to and from outside systems can help. Information systems staff should work with management to develop policies that reduce risk but reflect the level of openness that suits a particular company's corporate culture.
