　　Passage One

　　Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage.

　　The hiring process may be different from one company to another.Nevertheless,the goal is thesame—get the candidate who is the best fit for the position.Even so,how to choose that person?Hereare some best practices used by industry leaders to attract the best talent for the job.In particular,theseare the new trends in the hiring process to be prepared for when you have a job interview.

　　Typically,an interview is held in a conference room or office.However,this makes it easy for theemployer and the candidate to act predictably.The problem with this approach is that at the end of atypical interview,the employers often don't have a much better feel for the candidate than they do afterreading the candidate's resume.Alternatively,some employers walk around the office for part of theinterview.This allows the employer to get a sense of how the candidate interacts with other people,andwhether the candidate is truly curious and interested in how the company runs.

　　Another change is that some employers create teams to hire new employees in comparison tohaving just one administrator conduct the interview.Employers then get opinions from the team members.More importantly,this helps employers hire someone with whom current employees could get along.

　　Also,employers want to make sure that candidates provide new viewpoints for the company.Beforethey hire someone,they think about the diversity of viewpoints that the candidate can bring to thecompany.Be prepared to share how you can add value to the company through your own uniqueperspective and how you will help the company solve problems creatively.

　　Furthermore,many companies try to get a sense of the kind of work the candidates will do for the company before hiring them as full-time employees.For example,they may offer you a temporarycontract first as a consultant.Likewise,they may assign you a smal task as part of the interview process.

　　Passage Three

　　Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

　　Children may not be using piggy banks(储钱罐)for much longer;with the move towards acashless society,pocket money is moving digital.To reflect this trend,all of a sudden a lot of mobilebudgeting apps for children have been developed worldwide:GoHenry,Osper and Gimi,to name a few.

　　These apps offer a simple money management service to children,often for a monthly fee paid byparents.Parents can add money to children's accounts,set limits and monitor transactions,whilechildren can choose to save their money or spend it using a prepaid card.The apps suggest minimumages ranging from six to nine for the prepaid card.

　　The companies behind the apps argue that in an increasingly cashless society,these apps can be avaluable way of teaching young children about money.Two thirds of adults globally know little aboutfinance,according to a recent survey,and one in four teenagers are unable to make even simpledecisions on everyday spending.

　　These apps aim to overcome this,claiming to teach children financial concepts,such as budgeting,interest rates and income.For instance,the Swedish app Gimi—with 1.2 million users globally hasonline savings jars where children can deposit money.Parents can pay children interest as they save,and pay children for completing household tasks.The account is attached to a prepaid card that iscurrently available in Sweden oniy,but expected to launch elsewhere in Europe in the near future.

　　“Cash was the best way to teach people about financial knowledge because it's so easy to grasp,”Philip Haglund,CEO of Gimi,mentions."Now money is being transferred through some kind ofcyberspace,which is really abstract and hard for anyone to understand.”Haglund believes the app canteach responsible spending habits,whereas schools tend to focus more on economic theories.“You don'tbecome better at money management just because you have a degree in economics.It's more about theattitude and the relationship you have with parents'money when you're six to 12 years old,"he says.

　　But Catherine Winter,managing director offinancial capability at The London Institute of Bankingand Finance,warns that while digital tools can help,there needs to be a more structured approach tofinancial education.The area should "have regular classroom time and ideally should be taught as aseparate subject,"she says.“Children would then have the right context and foundation to get the mostout of both the apps and their money."

　　21.What is the major role of mobile budgeting app?

　　A.Buying favorite goods.　　B.Paying fees for parents.

　　C.Managing pocket money.　　D.Keeping an eye on children.

　　22.According to the passage,the Swedish app Gimi can_______

　　A.guide parents to manage companies

　　B.give children basic ideas of finance

　　C.guide children to do their homework

　　D.teach parents how to invest their money

　　23.What can we infer from Philip Haglund's words?

　　A.A degree in economics guarantees the capability of managing money.

　　B.Cyberspace is the best medium for children to get financial knowledge.

　　C.The app Gimi helps children develop positive attitudes towards money.

　　D.Cash transactions are abstract and difficult for most people to understand.

　　24.What does Catherine Winter suggest regarding financial education?

　　A.It should be well organized.　　B.It should be done in cyberspace.

　　C.It should be provided by paents.　　D.It should be a self-taught subject.

　　25.What is the passage mainly about?
