Having a tattoo(紋身) can reduce your chance of getting a job, but it depends on where the tattoo is, what it expresses and if the job involves dealing with customers, new research says.

Dr Andrew R Timming told the British Sociological Association conference on work, employment and society in Warwick today that employers were likely to view tattoos negatively. Dr Timming of the school of Management at the University of St Andrews said he had spoken to 15 managers involved in hiring staff about their reaction to interview candidates with visible tattoos.

"Most respondents agreed that visible tattoos are a stigma," Dr Timming told the conference. One woman manager told him that "they make a person look dirty." Another male manager told him "subconsciously that would stop me from employing them." The managers were concerned about what their organisations' customers might think, said Dr Timming. "Hiring managers realise that, ultimately, it does not matter what they think of tattoos -- what really matters, instead, is how customers might think of employees with visible tattoos.

Dr Timming said: "The one qualification to this argument is there are certain industries in which tattoos may be a desirable characteristic in a job interview. For example, an HR manager at a prison noted that tattoos on guards can be 'something to talk about' and 'an in' that you need to make a connection with the prisoners."

The negative attitude to tattoos did not extend to ones that could be easily covered by clothing. Dr Timming also found that in some of the organisations it was only certain types of tattoos that diminished the chances of getting a job at interview. One male manager told him: "If it's gang culture-related you may have a different view about the tattoo than if it's just because it's a nice drawing of an animal that they've done on their arm."

1.Why do managers really refuse to hire a person with tattoos?

A. They don’t like tattoos themselves.

B. Tattoos can turn customers away.

C. People with tattoos don’t obey the rules.

D. People with tattoos are gang members.

2.A person with tattoos can probably work as ________.

A. a doorkeeper B. a salesman

C. a prison guard D. a manager

3.Who would be most likely to be turned down by employers?

A. A person who has his tattoos covered.

B. A person who has tattoos of an animal.

C. A person with a gang culture-related tattoo.

D. A person with a drawing of flowers on his arms.

4.We can infer from the last paragraph that _______.

A. not all tattoos reduce one’s chance if employment.

B. some tattoos are helpful to a job interviewee.

C. it’s no use covering one’s tattoos.

D. tattoos are hard to hide.

Su Hua is studying at Cambridge, UK. She has bought a bicycle and is worried about security (安全). Her friend, Kate, found this article and sent it to her.

Introduction

A lot of crime is against bicycles. About 150,000 bicycles are stolen every year and most are never found. You can prevent this happening by following a few careful steps.

Basic Security

Do not leave your bicycle in out-of-the-way places. Always lock (鎖上)your bicycle when you leave. Secure it to lampposts or trees. Take off smaller parts and take them with you, for example lights and saddles (車座).

Registration

There are a number of companies who will security mark your bicycle for you. They will then put your registration number and personal details on their computer database. Then if your bicycle is found it will be easy to contact you.

David Beckham was born in 1975 in London, at a place called Leytonstone. When he was a young boy, his greatest passion was in football. He played it whenever he had the chance.

One of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?

Listen — Listen when they are talking. Don’t say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it’s not necessary for you to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.

Help them — If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don’t do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra pencil or pen with you to classes in case they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.

Be there for them — Try to make something for your friend to help make them feel better in hard times. Making cards and encouraging them are among the nicest things you can do for a friend. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U.S. actor, once said, “I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control. But if you can’t stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve to be with me at my best.” Always remember this! If you don’t want to stay with your friends when they’re in hard times, then you don’t deserve to be with them when they’re having a good time!

Make plans — Try to make plans with your friends. Go shopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to a movie and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have a good time. And you’ll remember these things when you’re all old!

1.While your friend is talking to you about his or her feelings, you should _____.

A. give him or her some advice

B. just listen unless asked

C. calm him or her down

D. share your feelings as well

2.When we provide help for our friends, we should _____.

A. try to do everything for them

B. put them before ourselves

C. change their bad habits first

D. ignore their faults

3.What can we learn from Marilyn Monroe’s words?

A. Life without a friend is death.

B. A friend is easier lost than found.

C. A friend in need is a friend indeed.

D. A man is known by his friends.

請認真閱讀下列短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項中，選出最佳選項，并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。

A

Homonym: a word that has the same spelling and the same pronunciation as another world, but a different meaning

Same spelling, different meaning

Imagine, then a situation where two words are spelt and pronounced exactly the same way, but have completely different meanings．Welcome to the world of homonyms．Take, for example, the word ‘fail’ --- it can be a kind of festival, and adjective to describe the color of your hair or how you should play a game．

Don’t take it literally

So how do you know which meaning someone is referring to? --- You don’t, except by the context．Obviously, if someone asks you to ‘give them a hand’, they don’t want you to remove what is at the end of your arm．

What’s in a name?

Sometimes even the context doesn’t help much --- the result can be amusing．These sentences play with the double meaning of a noun:

I used to be a banker, but I lost interest．

Have you heard about the cross-eyed teacher who couldn’t control his pupils?

A small boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital．When his grandmother phoned to ask how he was, the nurse said: ‘No change yet’．

More ambiguity

And these examples play with the different meanings of a verb:

I wondered why the ball was getting bigger．Then it hit me．

No one knew she had a dental implant until it came out in a conversation．

A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat．

Double trouble

And sometimes a word can be a noun and a verb, but have different meanings．Can you work this one out?

Time flies like an arrow．Fruit flies like a banana．

If you like these homonyms, you will be pleased to know that English has plenty more!

Explanations of jokes in the text

I used to be banker, but I lost interest．(I became bored with the job / I lost money)

Have you heard about the cross-eyed teacher who couldn’t control his pupils? (students / parts of his eyes)

A small boy swallowed some coins and had to go to hospital．When his grandmother phoned to ask how he was, the nurse said: ‘No change yet’．(no difference in the situation / no money)

I wondered why the ball was getting bigger．Then it hit me．(the ball hit me / I suddenly realized)

No one knew she had a dental implant until it came out in a conversation．(became known / fell out)

A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat．(can’t be better / difficult to mix with a fork)

Time flies like an arrow．(time goes quickly) Fruit flies like a banana．(insects enjoy eating fruit．)

1.Which of the following statements about homonyms is NOT true?

A．They share the same spellings regardless of meanings．

B．We can’t know their meanings without context．

C．We may still feel confused even with context．

D．Their ambiguity brings great trouble to our life．

2.The “beat” in the sentence “A boiled egg in the morning is hard to beat, making for a satisfying breakfast．” has a similar meaning to _____．

A．The rain was beating down on the tin roof．

B．Taking the bus sure beats walking．

C．The doctor could feel no pulse beating．

D．You’ve been working too hard, you look dead beat．
