Nineteen-year-old Melissa Goza couldn’t figure out why she failed to get a bank card time and time again。It only became clear when she was unsuccessful while looking for a new job in a Target store:Three different people are using her Social Security number(社会保障号)。
Target is one of the companies using credit(信用)reports when hiring new workers。At least one credit report didn’t favor Goza in getting the job。A very low credit rate(评价)was under Goza’s Social Security number。Target,as required by law,told Goza why the company couldn’t offer her the job。
Sacramento lawyer Jennifer Shaw,a specialist in workplace law,says credit reports are just one more way employers use to find dishonest job seekers。“I think we need to know that,right now,there’s more information out there。And that means,there’s more information that can be used against us,”said Shaw.
Goza’s dark cloud may,however,have a silver lining。Target told her she’d be considered again for the job if she could get a letter from the Social Security Department proving that she’s the right owner of the Social Security number。
Now that Goza knows she’s suffered from other people’s wrongdoings,she will order copies of her credit reports to see what she can do to put things right。
What did Target first do when refusing to offer Goza the job?
AThey asked her for credit reports.
BThey told her why she couldn’t get the job.
CThey found out her wrongdoings.
DThey reported it to the Social Security Department.
参考答案:B

Every Chinese-language textbook starts out with the standard phrases(短语) for greeting people ;but as an American, I always found myself unable to speak freely when it came to seeing guests off at the door. Just a good-bye would not do, yet that was all I had ever learned from the terrible books. So I would smile and nod ,bowing(鞠躬) like a Japanese and searching madly for words that would smooth over the visitor´ s leaving and make them feel they would be welcome to come again. In my unease, I often hid behind the skirts of my Chinese husband´ s kindness.
Then finally ,listening to others, I began to pick up the phrases that eased relationships and sent people off not only successfully but also skillfully.
Partings for the Chinese include a lot of necessary habitual practice. Although I´ m not expected to observe or even know all the rules, as a foreigner, I´ ve had to learn the expressions of politeness and protest(抗议,反对) at a leaving-taking.
The Chinese feel they must see a guest off to the farthest possible point-down the flight of stairs to the street below or perhaps all the way to the nearest bus stop. I´ ve sometimes waited half an hour or more for my husband to return from seeing a guest off ,since he´ s gone to the bus stop and waited for the next bus to arrive.
That´s very well ,but when I´ m the guest being seen off, my protests are always useless. My hostess or host ,or both ,insists on seeing me down the stairs and well on my way ,with my repeating the 'Don´t bother( give the trouble)to see me off' at every landing. If I try to go fast to discourage them from following, they are simply out to the discomfort of having to run after me.Better to accept the inevitable( 不可避免的).
Besides ,that´s going against Chinese custom, because haste (doing things quickly)is to be avoided. What do you say when you part from someone? 'Go slowly. 'Not farewell or Godspeed (祝福), but 'Go slowly. '. To the Chinese it means 'Take care' or 'Watch your step' ,or some such caution, but translated literally(照字面地) it means 'Go slowly'.
According to the passage all of the following are necessary in the Chinese partings except
Aseeing the guests off to the farthest point
Bprotesting again and again
Crunning after the guests
Dsaying 'Go slowly'
参考答案:C

Scientists have long tried to be able to know more about floods。So far,the best that scientists can do is to recognize the conditions for flooding。
Although deep snow alone seldom causes floods,when it occurs together with heavy rain and sudden warmer weather,it can lead to serious flooding。If there is a fast snow melt (融化)on top of frozen or very wet ground,flooding is likely to occur。Melting snow also causes high water levels in rivers。Whenever rivers are already at their highest possible levels,heavy rains will result in the rivers’flooding the nearby land。
Rivers covered in ice can also lead to flooding。When ice begins to melt,it breaks into large pieces。These pieces of ice move and float down the river。They can block the river,causing the water to rise and flood the land up the river。If the ice dam(坝)breaks suddenly,the large quantity of water held behind it can flood the areas down the river too。
Broken ice dams are not the only problem that can cause flooding。When a large human—made dam breaks or fails to hold the water collected behind it,it will also cause serious damage。
Although scientists cannot always know when floods will occur,they do know a great deal about when floods are likely,or probably,going to occur。
What happens when ice dams break?
AThey may quickly block the river.
BThe ice covering the river may melt fast.
CA larger ice dam may soon be formed.
DThe areas down the river may be flooded.
参考答案:D
