The rules of etiquette in American restaurants depend upon a number of factors the physical location of the restaurant, e.g., rural or urban; the type of restaurant, e.g., informal or formal; and certain standards that are more universal In other words, some standards of etiquette vary significantly while other standards apply almost anywhere Learning the proper etiquette in a particular type of restaurant in a particular area may sometimes require instruction, but more commonly it simply requires sensitivity and experience For example, while it is acceptable to read a magazine in a coffee shop, it is inappropriate to do the same in a more luxurious
Trang 5setting And, if you are eating in a very rustic setting it may be fine to tuck your napkin into your shirt, but if you are in a sophisticated urban restaurant this behavior would demonstrate a lack of manners It is safe to say, however, that in virtually every restaurant it is unacceptable to indiscriminately throw your food on the floor The conclusion we can most likely draw from the above is that while the types and locations of restaurants

Experiments have shown that in selecting personnel for a job, interviewing is at best a hindrance, and may
even cause harm These studies have disclosed that the judgments of interviewers differ markedly and bear little
or no relationship to the adequacy of the job applicants Of the many reasons why this should be the case, three
in particular stand out
Trang 6The first reason is related to an error of judgment known as the halo effect If a person has one
noticeable good trait, their other characteristics will be judged as better than they really are Thus, an individual
who dresses smartly and shows self-confidence is likely to be judged capable of doing a job well regardless of his or her real ability
Interviewers are also prejudiced by an effect called the primacy effect This error occurs when interpretation of later information is distorted by earlier connected information Hence, in an interview situation,
the interviewer spends most of the interview trying to confirm the first impression given by the candidate in the
first few moments Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that such an impression is unrelated to the aptitude of the applicant
The phenomenon known as the contrast effect also skews the judgment of interviewers A suitable candidate
may be underestimated because he or she contrasts with a previous one who appears exceptionally intelligent Likewise, an average candidate who is preceded by one who gives a weak showing may be judged as more suitable than he or she really is
Since interviews as a form of personnel selection have been shown to be inadequate, other selection procedures have been devised which more accurately predict candidate suitability Of the accurate tests devised,
the predictor which appears to do this most successfully is cognitive ability as measured by a variety of verbal
and spatial tests
Question 43: This passage mainly discusses the _
A Judgments of interviewers concerning job applicants
B Inadequacy of interviewing job applicants
C Effects of interviewing on job applicants
D Techniques that interviewers use for judging job applicants
Question 44: The word “they” in line 6 refers to _
A applicants B judgments C interviewers D characteristics
Question 45:The word “this” in line 20 refers to _
A measure cognitive ability B devise personnel selection
C predict candidate suitability D devise accurate tests
Question 46: According to the passage, the hallo effect _
A leads an error of judgment between good trait and real ability
B takes effect only when a candidate is well -dressed
C stands out as the worst judgmental error
D helps the interviewer’s capability to judge real ability
Question 47: The word “hindrance” in line 1 is closest in meaning to _
Trang 7A assistance B encouragement C procedure D interference
Question 48: According to the passage the first impression _
A can easily be altered
B is unrelated to the interviewer’s prejudices
C makes candidates’ interpretation distorted
D has been repeatedly demonstrated to the applicant
Question 49:The author mentions all of the following reasons why interviewing is not an accurate way to
predict candidate suitability EXCEPT the _
A primacy effect B halo effect C contrast effect D cognitive effect
Question 50: The word “confirm” in line 11 is closest in meaning to _
