Smart job-seekers need to rid themselves of several standard myths about interviewing before they start looking for a job. What follows is a list of some of these untruths and some tips to help you do your best at your next interview.
Myth 1: The aim of interviewing is to obtain (means “get”) a job offer.
Only half true. The real aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want. That often means rejecting job offers you don’t want! So before you please an employer, be sure you want the job.
Myth 2: Always please the interviewer
Not true. Try to please yourself. Of course, don’t be hostile—nobody wants to hire someone disagreeable. But there is plainly a muddle ground between being too ingratiating（逢迎）and being hostile.
Myth 3: Try to control the interview
Nobody “controls” an interview. When someone tries to control us, we resent（憎恨）it. When we try to control others, they resent us. Remember you can’t control what an employer thinks of you, just as he can’t control what you think of him. So he is ready to give and take when being interviewed; never control the interview.
Myth 4: Never interrupt the interviewer
Study the style of the effective conversationalists: they interrupt and are interrupted! An exciting conversation always makes us feel free—free to interrupt, to disagree, to agree enthusiastically. Just hang loose. Try being yourself for a change. Employers will either like or dislike you, but at least you’ll have made an impression. Leaving an employer indifferent（冷漠的）is the worst impression you can make.
1.To be your natural self in a job interview will__________.

The interview has been going on for about twenty minutes and everything seems to be going well. Then, suddenly, the interviewer asks an unexpected question. “Which is more important, law or love?”
Job applicants(申請者) in the west increasingly find themselves asked strange questions like this. And the signs are that this is beginning to happen in China. Employers want people who are skilled, enthusiastic(熱情的)and devoted. So these are the qualities that any reasonably smart job applicant will try to show no matter what his or her actual feelings are. In response(應答), employers are increasingly using questions which try and show the applicant's true personality.
The question in the first paragraph comes from a test called the Kiersey Personality Sorter. It is an attempt to discover how people solve problems, rather than what they know. This is often called aptitude testing(潛能測試).
According to Mark Baldwin of Alliance many job applicants in China are finding this type of questions difficult. “When a Chinese person fills out an aptitude test he or she will think there is a right answer and they may well fail because they try to guess what the examiner wants to see. ”
This is sometimes called the prisoner's dilemma(窘境). Applicants are trying to act cleverly in their own interest. But they failed because they don't understand what the interviewer is looking for. Remember that in an aptitude testing, the correct answer is always the honest answer.
1．The writer wrote the passage to ________.
[ ]
A．give you a piece of advice on a job interview
B．tell you how to meet a job interview
C．describe an aptitude test
D．advise you how to find a good job
2．Now employers want to hire workers ________.
[ ]
A．who know much more than others
B．who are better skilled than others
C．who are able to solve different problems
D．who will work harder than others
3．According to the writer, in an aptitude testing, Chinese job applicants should ________.
[ ]
A．not tell the truth
B．learn to tell what they really think
C．be more enthusiastic
D．try to find out what the examiner really wants to know
4．From the passage we know that ________.
[ ]
A．job applicants are always asked such questions
B．more Chinese applicants fail to find a job
C．applicants should not act as reasonably as a prisoner
D．aptitude testing is becoming popular the world wide
