Section C Directions: Read the following text about analyzing a problem. Five sentences have been removed from the text. Choose the best sentence from the list A-F on the next page to fill in each of the gaps (36-40). There is one extra sentence which you do not need to use. Six Stages in Analyzing a Problem People do not analyze every problem they meet. Sometimes they try to remember a solution from the last time they had a similar problem. They often accept the opinions or ideas of other people. Other times they try to find a solution by trial and error. (36)_______________. First the person must recognize that there is a problem. For example, Sam’s bicycle is broken, and he cannot read it to class as he usually does. Sam must see that there is a problem with his bicycle. Next the thinker must define the problem. (37)_______________. For instance, he must determine if the problem is with the gears (齿轮), the brakes, or the frame. He must make his problem more specific. Now the person must look for information that will make the problem clearer and lead to possible solutions. For instance, suppose Sam decided that his bike does not work because there is something wrong with the gear wheels. (38)_______________. He can talk to his friends at the bike shop. He can look at his gears carefully. After studying the problem, the person should have several suggestions for a possible solution. Take Sam as an illustration. His suggestions might be: put oil on the gear wheels; buy new gear wheels and replace the old ones; tighten or loosen the gear wheels. (39)_______________. Sometimes the final idea comes very suddenly because the thinker suddenly sees something new or sees something in a new way. Sam, for example, suddenly sees that there is a piece of chewing gum between the gear wheels. He immediately realizes the solution to his problem: he must clean the gear wheels. Finally the solution is tested. (40)_______________. In short, he has solved the problem. A. Eventually one suggestion seems to be the solution to the problem. B. At this time, he can look in his bicycle repair book. C. Before Sam can repair his bicycle, he must find out the reason why it does not work. D. Consequently one should test his own reasoning power against the problem. E. However, when all these methods fail, the person with a problem has to start analyzing. F. Sam cleans the gear wheels and finds that afterwards his bicycle works perfectly. 36. __________

Wal-Mart
Wal-Mart is more than just the world's largest retailer. It is an economic force, a cultural phenomenon and a lightning rod for controversy. It all started with a simple philosophy from founder Sam Walton: Offer shoppers lower prices than they get anywhere else. That basic strategy has shaped Wal-Mart's culture and driven the company's growth.
Now that Wal-Mart is so huge, it has unprecedented power to shape labor markets globally and change the way entire industries operate.
History of Wal-Mart
Sam Walton opened his first five-and-dime in 1950. His vision was to keep prices as low as possible. Even if his margins weren't as fat as competitors, he figured he could make up for that in volume. He was right.
In the early 1960s, Walton opened his first Wal-Mart in Rogers, Arkansas. The company continued to grow, going public in 1970 and adding more stores every year. In 1990, Wal-Mart surpassed key rival Kmart in size. Two years later, it surpassed Sears.
Walton continued to drive an old pickup truck and share budget-hotel rooms with colleagues on business trips, even after Wal-Mart made him very rich. He demanded that his employees also keep expenses to a bare minimum—a mentality that is still al the heart of Wal-Mart culture more than a decade after Walton's death. The company has continued to grow rapidly after his death in 1992 and now operates four retail divisions—Wal-Mart Supercenters, Wal-Mart discount stores, Neighborhood Market stores and Sam's Club warehouses.
Wal-Mart Strategy
Let's start with technology. Wal-Mart pushed the retail industry to establish the universal bar code, which forced manufacturers to adopt common labeling. The bar allowed retailers to generate all kinds of information—creating a subtle shift of power from manufacturers to retailers. Wal-Mart became especially good at exploiting the information behind the bar code. And thus it is considered a pioneer in developing sophisticated technology to track its stock and cut the fat out of its supply chain.
Recently, Wal-Mart became the first major retailer to demand manufacturers use radio frequency identification technology (RFID). The technology, uses radio frequencies to transmit data stored on small tags attached to pallets (货盘) or individual products. RFID tags hold significantly more data than bar codes.
The frugal culture, established by Walton. also plays into Wal-Mart's success. The company has been criticized for the relatively poor wages and health care plans that it otters to rank-and file employees. It has also been accused of demanding that hourly workers put in overtime without pay. Store managers often work more than 70 hours per week.
This culture is also present at the company's headquarters. Wal-Mart is headquartered in Bentonville, Arkansas, instead of an expensive city like New York. The building is unattractive and dull. You won't catch executives in quality cars and you won't see them dragging into work at 9:30 a.m. Executives fly coach and often share hotel rooms with colleagues. They work long hours, typically arriving at work before 6:30 a.m. and working halfdays on Saturdays.
The central goal of Wal-Mart is to keep retail prices low—and the company has been very successful at this. Experts estimate that Wal-Mart saves shoppers at least 15 percent on a typical cart of groceries. Everything—including the technology and corporate culture—feeds into that ultimate goal of delivering the lowest prices possible. Wal-Mart also pushes its suppliers, some say cruelly, to cut prices. In The Wal-Mart Effect, author Charles Fishman discusses how the price of a four-pack of GE light bulbs decreased from $2.19 to 88 cents during a five-year period.
The Power
Because of Wal-Mart's massive size, it has incredible power. It has driven smaller retaile
A．products at lower price
B．any kind of goods the customers may want
C．a more comfortable shopping environment
D．free-of-charge packaging
How to Take a Job Interview
To succeed in campus job interviews, you have to know where that recruiter is coming from. The simple answer is that he is coming from corporate headquarters.
That may sound obvious, but it is a significant point that too many students do not consider. The recruiter is not a free spirit as he flies from Berkeley to New Haven, from Chapel Hill to Boulder. He's on an invisible leash to the office, and if he is worth his salary, he is mentally in corporate headquarters all the time he's on the road.
If you can fix that in your mind--that when you walk into that bare-walled cubicle in the placement center you are walking into a branch office of Sears, Bendix or General Motors--you can avoid a lot of little mistakes and maybe some big ones.
If, for example, you assume that because the interview is on campus the recruiter expects you to look and act like a student, you're in for a shock. A student is somebody who drinks beer, wears blue jeans and throws a Frisbee. No recruiter has jobs for student Frisbee whizzes.
A cool spring day in late March, Sam Davis, a good recruiter who has been on the college circuit for years, is on my campus talking to candidates. He comes out to the waiting area to meet the student who signed up for an 11 o'clock interview. I'm standing in the doorway of my office taking in the scene.
Sam calls the candidate: "Sidney Student." There sits Sidney. He's at a 45 degree angle, his feet are in the aisle, and he's almost lying down. He's wearing well-polished brown shoes, a tasteful pair of brown pants, a light brown shirt, and a good looking tie. Unfortunately, he tops off this well-coordinated outfit with his Joe's Tavern Class A Softball Championship jacket, which has a big woven emblem over the heart.
If that isn't bad enough, in his left hand is a cigarette and in his right hand is a half-eaten apple.
When Sam calls his name, the kid is caught off guard. He ditched the cigarette in an ashtray, struggles to his feet, and transfers the apple from the right to the left hand. Apple juice is everywhere, so Sid wipes his hand on the seat of his pants and shakes hands with Sam.
Sam, who by now is close to having a stroke, gives me that what-do-I-have-here look and has the young man follow him into the interview room.
The situation deteriorates even further--into pure Laurel and Hardy. The kid is stuck with the half-eaten apple, doesn't know what to do with it, and obviously is suffering some discomfort. He carries the apple into the interview room with him and places it in the ashtray on the desk--right on top of Sam's freshly lit cigarette.
The interview lasts five minutes...
Let us move in for a closer look at how the campus recruiter operates.
Let's say you have a 10 o'clock appointment with the recruiter from the XYZ Corporation. The recruiter gets rid of the candidate in front of you at about 5 minutes to 10, jots down a few notes about what he is going to do with him or her, then picks up your resume or data sheet (which you have submitted in advance)...
Although the recruiter is still in the interview room and you are still in the lobby, your interview is under way. You're on. The recruiter will look over your sheet pretty carefully before he goes out to call you. He develops a mental picture of you.
He thinks, "I'm going to enjoy talking with this kid," or "This one's going to be a turkey." The recruiter has already begun to make a decision about you.
His first impression of you, from reading the sheet, could come from your grade point. It could come from misspelled words. It could come from poor erasures or from the fact that necessary information is missing. By the time the recruiter has finished reading your sheet, you've already hit the
A．Y
B．N
C．NG
A．unlikely
B．doubtful
C．improbable
D．unexpected
听力原文：F: Would you please describe your feelings towards criminals？
M: It is true to say there are criminals, certain types of criminals who policemen have er...I have to be very careful with what I say.
F: Uhum.
M: You see, I know a person who has been caught so many times that he' s .. he becomes part and parcel of the station.
F: Umm. He has been brought in all the time.
M: He' s always in and he' s a cheerful sort of character. And it' s his way of life. And this sort of people of course are people that you.. well, I say have an affinity with, that' s not the right word to use, but you have a closeness with, you know.
F: They are part of your work, aren' t they？
M: You know, Old Sam is always in. and you can always guarantee that Old Fred will do something stupid about a week before Christmas so that he can spend Christmas in a certain prison.
F: Which he likes.
M: Which he likes because he has a good Christmas. Then, of course, you go to the other end of the scale where you have a hard-core minority who are the professional criminals.
F: British policemen are not armed, that is they do not carry guns. How do policemen feel about this？
M: I don' t think the average policeman really thinks about it, you know. I honestly think he does not think about it at all. I am sure if he did, he would probably be a worried man.
F: Uhum.
M: The reason I say that is this. That the average policeman in this country feels that the average Englishman is such a person that the use of arms and that sort of thing is foreign to his nature.
F: So your impression is that England is not a violent society.
M: Well, I don' t think we are a violent people. You see, I think as a nation, if I can put it that way, we love compromise, you know？
F: Okay...
Old Fred does something stupid because
A．He has some mental problems.
B．He is too old to know what he is dong.
