听力原文:W: Excuse me, sir. Is this the human resources department?
M: Yes, that's right. Is there anything I can do for you?
W: Yeah, I'm a TV reporter, and I'm doing a serial interview on the job market in China. Could you do me a favor, please?
M: My pleasure. What would you like to know first?
W: I know you have a very large staff of over one thousand. How do you appoint them to the right posts, and transfer them, if necessary, at the right time?
M: That's a good question. Ah, let me see. We give tests and on-the-job trials in different ways, so we know whichever job best suits a certain person.
W: My second question is that today there are many people, especially the competent ones, who jump from job to job. How do you settle that?
M: We have tight regulations and long service awards for motivating employees. But, anyway, they make their own choices. If they choose to stay, they need to abide by our policies.
W: I'm sorry, I didn't quite follow you. Do you mean that they are free to come and go?
M: Yes, you are quite right.
W: Another question is that since you've been a personnel manager for several years, what do you think is the bottleneck in the job market in China today? Why is it so hard for graduates to find a suitable job?
M: Well, let me see. Maybe it's the lack of experience. They remain frustrated in a new workplace even after half a year.
W: Now I've got it. But may I ask you one more question, please?
M: Of course you can.
W: Suppose I were one of your job applicants, what would you advise me to do?
M: Learn what you are learning well and try to be proficient in at least one thing. That's my tip for all job hunters.
W: Thank you very much.

That’s especially true of booming fields that are challenging for workers. At Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration, for example, bachelor’s degree graduates get an average of four or five job offers with salaries ranging from the high teens to the low 20s and plenty of chances for rapid advancement. Large companies, especially, like a background of formal education coupled with work experience.
But in the long run, too much specialization doesn’t pay off. Business, which has been flooded with MBAs, no longer considers the degree an automatic stamp of approval. The MBA may open doors and command a higher salary initially, but the impact of a degree washes out after five years.
As further evidence of the erosion (销蚀) of corporate (公司的) faith in specialized degrees, Michigan State’s Scheetz cites a pattern in corporate hiring practices, although companies tend to take on specialists as new hires, they often seek out generalists for middle and upper-level management. “They want someone who isn’t constrained (限制) by nuts and bolts to look at the big picture, “says Scheetz.
This sounds suspiciously like a formal statement that you approve of the liberal-arts graduate. Time and again labor-market analysts mention a need for talents that liberal-arts majors are assumed to have: writing and communication skills, organizational skills, open-mindedness and adaptability, and the ability to analyze and solve problems, David Birch claims he does not hire anybody with an MBA or an engineering degree, “I hire only liberal-arts people because they have a less-than-canned way of doing things,” says Birch. Liberal-arts means an academically thorough and strict program that includes literature, history, mathematics, economics, science, human behavior—plus a computer course or two. With that under your belt, you can feel free to specialize, “A liberal-arts degree coupled with an MBA or some other technical training is a very good combination in the marketplace,” says Scheetz.
第26题:What kinds of people are in high demand on the job market?
A.Students with a bachelor’s degree in humanities.
B.People with an MBA degree front top universities.
C.People with formal schooling plus work experience.
D.People with special training in engineering.

TWO TYPES OF TRAINING
There are two common forms of employee training-on-the-job training and off-the-job training. On-the-job training is the most widely used and least expensive form. of training. It consists of an employee learning from a supervisor or co-worker how to do the job. On-the-job training could be described as an apprenticeship. It is efficient because it is done at the workplace while the employee is fulfilling work duties. As time goes by, the employee becomes more and more skilled at the job and eventually can train other employees in turn.
Off-the-job training is the most expensive form. of training. It consists of an employee being sent away from the workplace to a training program where training is provided. It is less efficient because it requires the employee to take time away from work duties. In addition, depending on where the training site is located, travel and accommodation expenses may be incurred. And of course, fees must be paid to the person or organization providing the training.
When deciding which form. of training to provide, an employer must consider such things as the availability of staff with necessary skills and time to provide on-the-job training and the types of off-site training available, in addition to the expense. It may well be decided that off-the-job training is worth the cost. While the requirements are different for on-the-job training as compared to off-the-job training, the purpose of both types is the same-to improve employee efficiency and productivity.
Which of the following best describes on-the-job training?
A.Expensive
B.Ineffective
C.Common
D.Quick
