　　About 45% of the people surveyed say their workplace is the hardest place to sell a good idea. The next largest group, 21%, say home is. Here Mattson offers 5 ways of outing an idea across so that the right people will listen.

　　1. Don’t take rejection (拒绝) personally. “One of the major blocks for people trying to sell a concept is that, if the idea is rejected, they take it as a rejection of them personally—and they stop trying,” Mattson says.

　　36 . Most major-league players strike out far more than they hit. Even so, they keep trying.

　　2.

　　37 .

　　Many of us (especially the shy) use email to put our best ideas forward, but that’s not nearly as effective as doing it in person or, if necessary, on the phone. “You have your voice working for you, and you can be far more responsive(回应) to any questions the other person may have,” Mattson says.

　　3. Listen 70% of the time, and talk 30%. “In the sales world there’s a saying:

　　38 .” Mattson says. “Top salespeople don’t persuade others. Instead, they listen, which forces you to focus on the other person--what their position is, and why they’re responding the way they are.”

　　4. Practice.

　　39 . He or she will help you improve. Mattson recommends repeating your idea six times before presenting it to decision-makers. “The first one or two times, you’ll still be figuring out how you want to put it,” he says. “By the sixth time, you’re usually speaking with certainty and confidence.”

　　5. Get others to weigh in. “Successful selling isn’t ‘I’, it’s ‘we’,” Mattson says. “

　　So include their suggestions in your idea.” Not only will that probably make the idea even better, but you’ll still get the credit for having gotten the ball rolling.

　　A. Never buy what you don’t need.

　　B. Use your voice, rather than email.

　　C. People want to be part of solution.

　　D. Talk on the phone in an effective way.

　　E. Everybody hates to be sold but loves to buy.

　　G. Find someone you trust who will hear you out.

　　任务型阅读（A）

　　根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意：每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题卡相应题号的横线上。

　　Many people think a telephone is a necessity. But I think it is a pestand a time waste. Very often you find it impossible to escape from it. If you have a telephone in your own house, you will admit that it tends to ring when you least want it to ring; when you are asleep, or in the middle of a meal or a conversation or when you are just going out, or when you are in your bath. Are you strong-minded enough to ignore it? You are not. You think there may be some important news or message for you. I can assure you that if a message is really important it will reach you sooner or later. Have you ever rushed crippling from the bath, or chewing from the table, or dazed from the bed, only to be told that you are a wrong number?

　　But you will say, you need not have your name printed in the telephone directory, and you can have a telephone which is only usable for outgoing calls. Besides, you will say, isn’t it important to have a telephone in case of sudden emergency—illness, accident, or fire? Of course, you are right, but here in a thickly populated country like England one is seldom far from a telephone in case of dreadful necessity.

　　I think perhaps I had better try to justify (证明是有理的) myself by trying to prove that what I like is good. I admit that in different circumstances—if I were a wealthy and powerful businessperson, for instance, or badly ill and had to lie in bed, I might find a telephone a necessity. But then if I were a taxi-driver I should find a car as necessity. Let me put it another way: there are two things for which the English seem to show particular talent: one is mechanical invention, the other literature. My own business happens to be with the use of words but I see I must now stop using them, for I have had just been handed a slip of paper to say that somebody is waiting to speak to me on the telephone. I think I had better answer it. After all, one never knows, it may be something important.

　　任务型阅读（B）

　　请认真阅读下列短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

　　注意：每个空格只填1个单词Interviewing someone for a job is not as easy as it looks. First, as the interviewer, you're tasked with finding the person who will not only do the job well but also fit in well with the other employees.

　　You have to make an evaluation of abstract qualities that can't be found on a résumé. Because you have to repeat the process for every potential employee, you end up asking question after question, applicant after applicant.

　　Still, interviewers need to be told something，“What is your biggest weakness？” is not a good question. It just isn't.

　　Now, job seekers have to understand that interviewers want to find some way to know what makes an applicant different from others. Asking questions that are seemingly impossible to answer is one way to see who can think creatively. Then what may be a proper way to respond to such a question?

　　Honesty, with a twist(新手法)

　　“‘What are your three strengths and three weaknesses？’ is a classic,

　　but not too many people know how to answer this，” says Kenneth C. Wisnefski, founder and CEO of WebiMax, an online marketing company.

　　“As an interviewer, we want to hear strengths that describe initiative(主动性), motivation and dedication. The best way to respond is to include these qualities into specific ‘personal statements’．”

　　“Similarly, weaknesses should be positioned as a strength that can benefit the employer.”

　　“I like to hear applicants state an exaggerated strength, and put an interesting twist on it. An example of this is, ‘My initiative is so strong, that sometimes I take on too many projects at a time.’”

　　This answer leads with a strength that employers want—initiative—and still acknowledges that you're not perfect.

　　Although you might consider this acknowledgement too honest, it works because it proves you're being honest.

　　Honesty, with progress

　　When you consider what your weaknesses are, think about how you have attempted to overcome them. No one is perfect, so pretending that you are a perfectionist will come across as insincere.

　　Debra Davenport, author of “Career Shuffle”， believes citing(引用) examples are the best approach.

　　“My preferred response for this question is to tell the truth without damaging the applicant's image.” Davenport explains.

　　“A better response might be, ‘I've had some challenges with work­life balance in the past and I realize that a life out of balance isn't good for me, my family or my employer. I've taken the time to learn better time and project management, and I'm also committed to my overall wellness.’”

　　The answer adds some dimension to the question, and proves you're thought beyond the answer. You've actually changed your behavior to address the situation, even if you haven't completely overcome the weakness.

　　Put yourself in the interviewer's shoes

　　However you decide to answer, Debra Yergen, author of “Creating Job Security Resource Guide”， recommends job seekers imagine themselves sitting on the other side of the desk.

　　“If you were doing the hiring, what would you be looking for? What would be your motivation for asking certain questions? Who whould you be trying to weed out? If you can empathize(共鸣) with the interviewer, you can better understand what they want and need, and then frame your qualifications to meet their needs for the position you seek.”

　　Once you consider what the goal of the question is and figure out what your honest answer is, you'll be able to give the best possible answer to a tricky question.
