How to Interview People
Interviewing (采访) is one of those skills that you can only get better at. You will never again feel so iii at ease as when you try it for the first time, and probably you'll never feel entirely comfortable trying to get from another person answers that he or she may be too shy to reveal.(46)The rest is instinct, which can all be learned with experience.
The basic tools for an interview are paper and two or three well-sharpened pencils. But keep your notebook or paper out of sight until you need it. There's nothing less likely to relax a person than the arrival of someone with a note-taking pad.(47)Take a while just to chat, judging what sort of person you're dealing with, getting him or her to trust you.
Never go into an interview without doing whatever homework you can. If you are interviewing a town official, know his voting record. If it's an actor, know what plays he has been in.(48).
Many beginning interviewers are afraid that they are forcing the other person to answer questions and have no right to inquire about his personal secrets.(49)Unless the person really hates being interviewed, he is delighted that somebody wants to interview him. Most men and women lead lives that are uninteresting, and they grasp any chance to talk to an outsider who seems eager to listen.
This doesn't necessarily mean that it will go well. In general you will be talking to people who have never been interviewed before, and they will get used to the process awkwardly, perhaps not giving you anything that you can use.(50)You will both even begin to enjoy it - proof that you aren't forcing your victim to do something he doesn't really want to.
A Come back another day; it will go better.
B But at least half of the skill is mechanical.
C As one philosopher interviewed in the film notes, they lack irony.
D You will not be liked if you inquire about facts that you could have learned in advance.
E This fear is almost 100 percent unnecessary.
F Both of you need time to get to know each other.

W: Elizabeth Carter.
M: And, uh, Elizabeth, uh. How does your family celebrate Christmas?
W: We go skiing, and we go over to my grandparents' house and have dinner with them.
M: Well, that is great, and what does Christmas mean to you?
W: Giving by not expecting to get.
M: Giving by not expecting to get. What does that mean?
W: Well, one thing that we do is secret giving.
M: Secret giving? Now how does that work in your family?
W: We come near silently to the entrance of somebody we want to give to, we put the gift we want to give to them, ring the doorbell, and hide.
M: Ring the doorbell and hide? Uh, so you're net expecting something; you just want to be generous to someone else. Is that right?
W: Yeah. That's correct.
M: And is there anything else that Christmas means to you?
W: It means getting off from school!
M: Getting off from school?! Do you really feel that way?

Betty and Harold have been married for years. But one thing still puzzles (困扰) old Harold. How is it that he can leave Betty and her friend Joan sitting on the sofa, talking, go out to a ball- game, come back three and a half hours later, and they're still sitting on the sofa? Talking?
What in the world, Harold wonders, do they have to talk about?
Betty shrugs. Talk? We' re friends.
Researching this matter called friendship, psychologist Lillian Rubin spent two years interviewing more than two hundred women and men. No matter what their age, their job, their sex, the re- suits were completely clear: women have more friendships than men, and the difference in the con- tent and the quality of those friend-ships is "marked and unmistakable".
More than two-thirds of the single men Rubin interviewed could not name a best friend. Those who could were likely to name a woman. Yet three-quarters of the single women had no problem naming a best friend, and almost it was a woman. More married men than women named their wife/ husband as a best friend, most trusted person, or the one they would turn to in time of emotional distress (感情危机). "Most women," says Rubin, "identified (认定) at least one, usually more, trusted friends to whom they could turn in a troubled moment, and they spoke openly about the importance of these relationships in their lives."
"In general," writes Rubin in her new book, "women' s friendships with each other rest on shared emotions and support, but men' s relationships are marked by shared activities." For he most part, Rubin says, interactions(交往)between men are emotionally controlled--a good fit with the social requirements of "manly behavior".
"Even when a man is said to be a best friend," Rubin writes, "the two share little about their innermost feelings. Whereas a woman' s closest female friend, might be the first to tell her to leave a failing marriage, it wasn't unusual to hear a man say he didn't know his friend' s marriage was in serious trouble until he appeared one night asking if he could sleep on the sofa."
What old Harold cannot understand or explain is the fact that ________.
A.he is treated as an outsider rather than a husband
B.women have so much to share
C.women show little interest ballgames
D.he finds his wife difficult to talk to

W: Good evening, I'm glad to be here.
M: So, Carol, how can we save the environment?
W: By saving water.
M: Well, how can we do that?
W: By not using too much water when we wash dishes, take a bath, and when we do other things, like watering the plants outside.
M: Oh, I think I can do that. What else?
W: We should try to make our environment tidy.
M: What can we do?
W: When drinking or eating something outside, you should keep the garbage until you find a trashcan to put it in because littering makes our planet dirty. Do you like seeing trash all over the ground?
M: No, I don't. Do you have any final suggestions?
W: Yes. We shouldn't waste paper because trees are being cut down to make the paper. By recycling paper, we save the forests where animals live.
M: So, how can children recycle paper, I mean, everyday?
W: Well, for example, when I was in kindergarten, I used to save the newspapers so that I could make things out of them, like paper trees, instead of just throwing them away.
M: Good idea! What do you do now?
W: Now, the children in our neighbourhood collect newspapers once a month to take them to a recycling centre.
M: That's great. Well, thanks Carol for your ideas.
W: You're welcome.

School human resources officials said they have 950 teacher candidates assembled through widely expanded recruitment efforts, including at job fairs in Philadelphia and Detroit.
Still, they are working hard to replace 50 librarians, 50 math teachers and 100 special education teachers--high--demand jobs for which there is always a short supply. About 40 special education teachers were among those dismissed June 30, intensifying the shortage.
"Do we have enough in the pool to fill the math and special education vacancies? No," said Nicole Wilds, the school system's director of recruitment services. "We're interviewing 30 candidates a week to get them into the pool."
Although the 370 uncertified teachers who were fired represented a range of subject areas, those in the largest group--41--taught special education. Those in the second-largest--20-- taught in the sciences. About 15 of the teachers taught math.
About 290 of the teachers had been hired since 2000. Most of the teachers, who had provisional (临时的) licenses, failed to complete the college coursework needed for full certification, officials said.
As many as 1,400 teachers--about 25 percent of the teaching force in the city--were uncertified as of March 2005. In January, Superintendent Clifford B. Janey announced that he was setting a deadline of June 30 for those teachers to obtain their credentials (证书)--or face dismissal.
The 370 who lost their jobs were part of a total of 820 who were still uncertified in June. School officials, saying they recognized it would be nearly impossible to fill more than 1,000 vacancies from the loss of uncertified and retiring teachers, decided to give 450 of the uncertified instructors an opportunity to remain with the school system for a year.
What is the primary reason for the big shortage of teachers this summer?
A.Retirement of teachers.
B.Dismissal of uncertified teachers.
C.Resignation of uncertified teachers.
D.Disputes between the administration and the teachers.
