Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct answer
to each of the questions from 1 to 7.
Computer programmer David Jones earns £35,000 a year by designing new computer games, yet he cannot find a
bank prepared to let him have a cheque card. Instead, he has been told to wait another two years, until he is 18. The
16-year-old works for a small firm in Liverpool, where the problem of most young people of his age is finding a job.
David's firm releases two new games for the expanding home computer market each month. But David's biggest
headache is what to do with his money.
In spite of his salary, earned by inventing new programs within tight schedules, with bonus payments and profitsharing, he cannot drive a car, take out a mortgage, or obtain credit cards. He lives with his parents in their council
house in Liverpool, where his father is a bus driver. His company has to pay £150 a month in taxi fares to get him
the five miles to work and back every day because David cannot drive. David got his job with the Liverpool-based
company four months ago, a year after leaving school with six O-levels and working for a time in a computer shop.
"I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs." he said. "I suppose
£35,000 sounds a lot but actually that's being pessimistic. I hope it will come to more than that this year”. He spends
some of his money on records and clothes, and gives his mother £20 a week. But most his spare time is spent
working.
"Unfortunately, computing was not part of our studies at school," he said. "But I had been studying it in books and
magazines for four years in my spare time. I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school”.
Most people in this business are fairly young, anyway. David added: "I would like to earn a million and I suppose
early retirement is a possibility. You never know when the market might disappear."

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct
answer to each of the questions from 46 to 50.
Preparation is a key to a successful interview. Does the idea of going to a job interview make you feel a little
nervous? Many people find that it is the hardest part of the employing process. But it is not really true. The more
you prepare and practice, the more comfortable you will feel. You should find out as much as possible about the
company before you go to the interview. Understand the products that they produce and the services that they
provide. It is also good to know who the customers are and who the major competitors are. Practice makes perfect.
It will also make you feel more confident and relaxed. So, practice your answers to common questions. Make a list
of questions to ask, too. Almost all interviewers will ask if you have questions. This is a great opportunity for you to
show your keenness, enthusiasm, and knowledge.
Make a great impression. The interview is your chance to show that you are the best person for the job. Your
application or resume has already exhibited that you are qualified. Now it is up to you to show how your skills and
experience match this position and this company. The employer will be looking and listening to determine if you
are a good fit. He/she will be looking for a number of different qualities, in addition to the skills that you possess.
To make the best impression, dress appropriately; express your strengths; arrive early, by about 10-15 minutes; be
enthusiastic; shake hands firmly; be an active listener; sit up straight and maintain eye contact; and ask questions

After the interview, follow up with a thank-you note. This is a chance for you to restate your interest and how
you can benefit the company. Your best bet is to try to time it so that the note gets there before the hiring: decision
is made. You should also follow up with a phone call if you do not hear back from the employer within the
specified time.
Question 46. The pronoun it refers to ________.
A. the job
B. the interview
C. the interviewer
D. the preparation
Question 47. What does the writer advise you to practice?
A. Asking and answering questions related to the job.
B. Making products that the company produces.
C. Providing services that the company serves.
D. Meeting some customers and competitors.
Question 48. Which should not be shown during your interview?
A. Punctuality
B. A firm hand shaking
C. Being properly-dresses
D. Weaknesses
Question 49. You can show your qualifications in the
A. dressing style and punctuality
B. competing with the competitors
C. resume and letter of application
D. eye contact with the interview
Question 50. Which is not included in the writer's advice?
A. You should not communicate with the interviewer after the interview.
B. You should make the best impression in the interview.
C. You should write a note to say thanks to the interviewer after the interview.
