Preparation is a key to a successful interview. Does the idea of going to a job interview make you feel a<br />
little nervous? Many people find that it is the hardest part of the employing process. But it is not really true.<br />
The more you prepare and practise, the more comfortable you will feel. You should find out as much as<br />
possible about the company before you go to the interview. Understand the products that they produce and the<br />
services that they provide. It is also good to know who the customers are and who the major competitors are.<br />
“Practice makes perfect”. It will also make you feel more confident and relaxed. So, practise your answers to<br />
common questions. Make a list of questions to ask, too. Almost all interviewers will ask if you have questions.<br />

by about 10-15 minutes; be enthusiastic; shake hands firmly; be an active listener; sit up straight and maintain<br />
eye contact; and ask questions.<br />
After the interview, follow up with a thank-you note. This is a chance for you to restate your interest and<br />
how you can benefit the company. Your best bet is to try to time it so that the note gets there before the hiring:<br />

Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to indicate the correct<br />
answer to each of the questions from 40 to 47.<br />
Baseball has been dubbed “ America’s favorite sport”, and many fans contend that there is no greater<br />
thrill than watching a good pitcher throw the ball skillfully in a series of expertly delivered “fast” and “curve”<br />
balls. Two such pitches, the “rising fastball” and the “breaking curveball” are particularly exasperating to<br />
batters because these balls tend to veer in one direction or the other just as they reach home plate. The “rising<br />
fastball” zooms forward only to jump up and over the bat as batter swings. The “breaking curveball” curves<br />
Trang 3/4 - Mã đề thi 309<br />
<br />
toward home plate, but plunges downward unexpectedly at the last moment. Batters attempt to anticipate these<br />
pitches, and respond accordingly, while pitchers work at perfecting their “fast” and “curve” ball deliveries.<br />
But according to studies conducted by a team of engineers and psychologists, the “rising fastball” and<br />
“breaking curveball” do not actually exist, they are merely optical illusions. The studies revealed that batters<br />
preceive the ball as approaching more slowly or falling more quickly than it actually is, and it is this<br />
misperception that produces the visual illusion. Batters tend to have difficulty tracking a ball continuously as<br />
it approaches and will briefly divert their to the spot where they think the ball will cross the plate. When<br />
abatter has misjudged the speed or angle of a pitch, and shifts his or her gaze in this way, the ball will appear<br />
to suddenly rise or dip and the batter will often miss.<br />
How will this finding affect “ American favorite pastime”? No doubt some will vehemently reject the<br />
notion that the “ rising fastball” and the “breaking curveball” are mere illusions. But for others, the findings<br />
may imbue the game with a new level of intrigue as batters attempt to respond to pitches that don’t exist.<br />
