【5】句意：僅僅因為我們要自己發(fā)電，并不意味著我們必須生活在黑暗中。

One day you will see that you are standing still, like a person watching a beautiful and inspiring movie over and over again, but not going out to the real world to create and live what he or she has seen in the movie.

Are you waiting for some miracles (奇跡) to change your life? Sometimes, miracles do happen, but why not make the miracles happen? By taking part in its creation; by planning, watching, expecting, and acting, you can help the miracles happen.

For most people, it looks like a difficult step, because they don’t know where to start and what to do. Don’t be afraid of the “action” part. You can take action that takes you closer to your goals, even if you don’t have enough money, time, or the proper abilities.

The people who succeed are always those who would take action. They think, plan, read, and look around them to see open doors, then take action. This has to do with every area of life, including relationships, work, material success, self-improvement and spiritual growth.

【題目】 It has long been considered one of the best companies, but do you have what it takes to work for Google?

It may take a sharp mind, as an American author says that the search engine giant (搜索引擎巨人) asks its interviewees to answer difficult question.

William Poundstone believes that he has unlocked the secret of how to succeed in an interview at Google in a new book, Are You Smart Enough to Work at Google?

Poundstone lists several of the brain teasers (腦筋急轉(zhuǎn)彎) that are said to be used by Google interviewers, from “can you swim faster in water or in syrup (糖漿)?” to “how would you weigh your head?”

Poundstone told ABC News that any Google’s questions are open-ended on purpose. The interviewer’s goal is to see how the thinking process of the applicant (應聘者) works, and to test his or her creativity when solving problems. He suggests the applicant should “retell the question” in their own words, as doing so gives them time to think and makes sure that they understand what is being asked.

Some of Google’s brain teasers:

* Why are manhole covers (下水道井蓋) round?

* How much toilet paper would you need to cover Texas?

* You are shrunk (縮小) to the height of a nickel (五分硬幣) and thrown in a blender (攪拌機).

The blades (刀片) start moving in 60 seconds. What do you do?

* How much should you charge (開價) to wash all the windows in Seattle?

* How many times a day do a clock’s hands overlap (重疊)？

【1】What does it take to work for Google according to Poundstone?

A.A strong body.B.Hard work.C.A sharp mind.D.An open heart.

【2】What does the underlined word “unlocked” mean in the passage?

A.探索B.宣布C.傳播D.破解

【3】What is it mainly about in William Poundstone’s new book?

A.How to test whether you are a smart person.

B.How to get a job in Google successfully.

C.What questions an interviewer should ask.

D.How to take part in interview training.

【4】Why are Google’s questions open-ended?

A.To see the solving process the applicant uses.

B.Because those questions are not reasonable.

C.To test the applicant’s knowledge.

D.To see whether the applicant can communicate well.

【5】What’s the best title for the passage?

A.Are you smart enough to work at Google?

B.Poudstone’s work experience in Google.

C.Some of Google’s brain teasers.

D.How the best company interviews applicants.
