It was an 36 experience to work for him. Instead of 37 responsibility for his mistakes, he would do whatever it took to escape the blame. You can imagine that his employees had little 38 for him and there was a high rate(率)of turnover(人员调整). Most people began looking for a(n) 39 job after working for him for only a few months. He did eventually lose his job, 40 too many good people had already left the company due to his character weakness. Its a noble and right thing to admit our 41 . Every person makes mistakes.

Talk about what you did to change the 48 . Then discuss how you 49 the changes and what the results were. Mention what you have 50 from the mistake too. Interviewers who ask the question about the mistake youve made want to know if youll 51 admit what youve done mistakenly. They want to know whether you have the confidence to openly discuss your error and talk about your 52 to the problem created by your mistake. Your interviewer 53 wants to know whether you can learn from your mistakes.Taking responsibility for your mistakes is a good 54 trait(特点). Learning from your mistakes is a(n) 55 builder.36.A. unnecessaryB. unhelpfulC. unpleasantD. uncommon37.A. exchangingB. sharingC. preparingD. accepting38.A. respectB. comfortC. benefitD. guidance39.

Liz PayneBI began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunts house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not stand the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to seethe strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism (乐观), but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really losthaving to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end of “ the hard times”. My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives. From my experiences I have learned one important rule: almost all common troubles finally go away! Something good is certain to happen in time when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.59. For the first two years in New York, the author _.

A. future will be free from troublesB. it is difficult to learn to become patientC. there are more good things than bad thingsD. optimism plays an important role in our life.CVienna is one of the best-run cities I know. It is, in comparison with many other European capitals, a safe place. Most of my female friends think nothing of walking home alone late at night. Many years of Socialist-led governments have brought in nice and affordable housing and other public services.For a number of years Vienna has won top marks in international surveys for safety, cleanliness and public services, but while many Viennese are proud of their city, there is also an unexpectedly strong tradition of discontent and complaint.When you hear some Viennese, it would be easy to come away with the impression that the place is going downhill.“Nothings the way it used to be”is usually heard in Vienna.“You mustnt take all this complaining too seriously,”a friend told me as we sat on a train.“It is just a way of letting off steams (宣泻情感).”But another Viennese was not so sure.“In fact, some of them do mean it,”he said.“If you live here all the time, you have nothing to compare it to and you dont know how good youve got it.”He looked up from his coffee cup, smiling.“Its hard for them because the one thing you must never do when someone is complaining
