In other words, some standards of etiquette vary significantly while other<br /> standards apply almost anywhere. Learning the proper etiquette in a particular type of restaurant in a<br /> particular area may sometimes require instruction, but more commonly it simply requires sensitivity<br /> and experience. For example, while it is acceptable to read a magazine in a coffee shop, it is<br /> inappropriate to do the same in a more luxurious setting. And, if you are eating in a very rustic setting<br /> it may be fine to tuck your napkin into your shirt, but if you are in a sophisticated urban restaurant this<br /> behavior would demonstrate a lack of manners. It is safe to say, however, that in virtually every<br /> 3<br /> <br /> restaurant it is unacceptable to indiscriminately throw your food on the floor. The conclusion we can<br /> most likely draw from the above is that while the types and locations of restaurants determine etiquette<br /> appropriate to them, some rules apply to all restaurants.<br /> Question 36: What topic is this passage primarily concerned with?<br /> A. rules of etiquette<br /> B. instruction in proper etiquette<br /> C. the importance of good manners<br /> D. variable and universal standards of etiquette<br /> Question 37: According to the passage, which of the following is a universal rule of etiquette?<br /> A. tucking a napkin in your shirt<br /> B. not throwing food on the floor<br /> C. reading a magazine at a coffee shop<br /> D. eating in rustic settings<br /> Question 38: According to the passage, ________ requires sensitivity and experience.<br /> A. learning the proper etiquette<br /> B. asking for instructions<br /> C. knowing the type of restaurant<br /> D. knowing about an area<br /> Question 39: The word "sophisticated" in the passage could best be replaced by ________<br /> A. expensive<br /> B. cultured<br /> C. famous<br /> D. exclusive<br /> Question 40: The author uses the phrase "safe to say" in order to demonstrate that the idea is ____.<br /> A. somewhat innocent<br /> B. quite certain<br /> C. very clever<br /> D. commonly<br /> reported<br /> Question 41: The word "indiscriminately" could best be replaced by ________.<br /> A. randomly<br /> B. angrily<br /> C. noisily<br /> D. destructively<br /> Question 42: What is the author's main purpose in this passage?<br /> A. to assist people in learning sophisticated manners<br /> B. to describe variations in restaurant manners<br /> C. to simplify rules of restaurant etiquette<br /> D. to compare sophisticated and rustic restaurants<br /> <br /> Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to<br /> indicate the correct answer to each of the questions from 43 to 50.<br /> Experiments have shown that in selecting personnel for a job, interviewing is at best a hindrance, and<br /> may even cause harm. These studies have disclosed that the judgments of interviewers differ markedly<br /> and bear little or no relationship to the adequacy of the job applicants. Of the many reasons why this<br /> should be the case, three in particular stand out.<br /> The first reason is related to an error of judgment known as the halo effect. If a person has one<br /> noticeable good trait, their other characteristics will be judged as better than they really are. Thus, an<br /> individual who dresses smartly and shows self-confidence is likely to be judged capable of doing a job<br /> well regardless of his or her real ability.<br /> Interviewers are also prejudiced by an effect called the primacy effect. This error occurs when<br /> interpretation of later information is distorted by earlier connected information. Hence, in an interview<br /> situation, the interviewer spends most of the interview trying to confirm the first impression given by<br /> the candidate in the first few moments. Studies have repeatedly demonstrated that such an impression is<br /> unrelated to the aptitude of the applicant.<br /> The phenomenon known as the contrast effect also skews the judgment of interviewers. A suitable<br /> candidate may be underestimated because he or she contrasts with a previous one who appears<br /> exceptionally intelligent. Likewise, an average candidate who is preceded by one who gives a weak<br /> showing may be judged as more suitable than he or she really is.<br /> Since interviews as a form of personnel selection have been shown to be inadequate, other<br /> selection procedures have been devised which more accurately predict candidate suitability. Of the<br /> 4<br /> <br /> accurate tests devised, the predictor which appears to do this most successfully is cognitive ability as<br /> measured by a variety of verbal and spatial tests.<br /> Question 43: This passage mainly discusses the _______.<br /> A.
