A篇

The birth of a volcanic island is all event marked by prolonged and violent travail: the forces of the earth striving to create, and all the forces of the sea opposing. At the place where the formation of such an island begins, the sea flour is probably nowhere more than about fifty miles thick. In it are deep cracks and fissures, the results of unequal cooling and shrinkage in past ages. Along such lines of weakness the molten lava from the earth"s interior presses up and finally bursts forth into the sea. But a submarine volcano is different from a terrestrial eruption, where the lava, molten rocks, and gases are hurled into the air from an open crater. Here on the bottom of the ocean the volcano has been resisting all the weight of the ocean water above it. Despite the immense pressure, it may be, two or three miles of sea water, the new volcanic cone builds upwards towards the surface, in flow after flow of lava. Once within reach of the waves, its soft ash is violently attacked by the motion of the water which continually washes away its upper surface, so that for a long period the potential island may remain submerged. But eventually, in new eruptions, the code is pushed up into the air, where the lava hardens and forms a rampart against the attacks of the waves.

B篇

Knowing what an employer is looking for in a potential employee can help to prepare for an interview. An interviewer for a major corporation was asked these questions: What specific skills are you looking for in applicants? And how do you identify these skills? He responded: Most important for us in the way of skills is the ability to communicate--can people speak clearly? Can they articulate the kind of person they believe themselves to be? In what kind of work situations do they perform well? What are their strengths and weaknesses? We want to know about the personal qualities of the individual, so I try to ask questions to draw them out and attempt to find out if they have a sense of themselves. What I"m looking for is an ability to verbalize an idea in clear, simple, understandable language. I"m also looking for the ability to listen attentively and then to be able to respond to an idea or thought that has been presented to them.

I"m looking for creativity--can they be spontaneous? I will ask some “off-the-wall” questions just to see if this throws them. How do they respond in these tough situations--can they be creative in their answers?This is very important when they are out in business situations with customers.They will have to respond to very sudden changes and problem-solving situations that they are not necessarily familiar with, and I want to know if they can handle them.

What we look for the most are personal qualitiesconfidence, selfmotivation, drive, ambition, and a cooperative spirit. They should be high achievers and want to work hard. I can usually tell about these qualities from the way the person presents himself or herself and some of the activities they have been engaged in. I pick up things from the applications and resume--how they have written them and the kinds of things they say. How they present their experiences is often very informative.
