25、 It has long been considered one of the best companies, but do you have what it takes to work for Google?
It may take a sharp mind, as an American author says that the search engine giant (搜索引擎巨人) asks its interviewees to answer difficult question.
William Poundstone believes that he has unlocked the secret of how to succeed in an interview at Google in a new book, Are You Smart Enough to Work at Google?
Poundstone lists several of the brain teasers (脑筋急转弯) that are said to be used by Google interviewers, from “can you swim faster in water or in syrup (糖浆)?” to “how would you weigh your head?”
Poundstone told ABC News that any Google’s questions are open-ended on purpose. The interviewer’s goal is to see how the thinking process of the applicant (应聘者) works, and to test his or her creativity when solving problems. He suggests the applicant should “retell the question” in their own words, as doing so gives them time to think and makes sure that they understand what is being asked.
Some of Google’s brain teasers:
* Why are manhole covers (下水道井盖) round?
* How much toilet paper would you need to cover Texas?
* You are shrunk (缩小) to the height of a nickel (五分硬币) and thrown in a blender (搅拌机).
The blades (刀片) start moving in 60 seconds. What do you do?
* How much should you charge (开价) to wash all the windows in Seattle?
* How many times a day do a clock’s hands overlap (重叠)?
【1】What does it take to work for Google according to Poundstone?
A.A strong body. B.Hard work. C.A sharp mind. D.An open heart.
【2】What does the underlined word “unlocked” mean in the passage?
A.探索 B.宣布 C.传播 D.破解
【3】What is it mainly about in William Poundstone’s new book?
A.How to test whether you are a smart person.
B.How to get a job in Google successfully.
C.What questions an interviewer should ask.
D.How to take part in interview training.
【4】Why are Google’s questions open-ended?
A.To see the solving process the applicant uses.
B.Because those questions are not reasonable.
C.To test the applicant’s knowledge.
D.To see whether the applicant can communicate well.
【5】What’s the best title for the passage?
A.Are you smart enough to work at Google?
B.Poudstone’s work experience in Google.
C.Some of Google’s brain teasers.
D.How the best company interviews applicants.
26、阅读理解。
Florida teen band The Garbage-Men is performing on the stage. The band has five members. They are Jack Berry, Ollie Gray, Harrison Paparatto, Austin Siegel and Evan Tucker. The five teens are making music from waste. The Garbage-Men band’s instruments are made from recycled things. The guitars are boxes. A horn(号) is made from pipes. The keyboard is formed from old bottles.
The band started about two years ago. Jack Berry who was in eighth grade at the time decided to make a playable, home-made guitar, after some trial-and-error(反复试验), he ended up building it from a cereal box, a yardstick and toothpicks. After Jack showed his creation to his friend Ollie Gray, Ollie had the idea to form a band using other home-made instruments as a way to improve recycling. “We want to show people there is more to recycling than throwing things away in the bin.” Jack, 16, told TFK. “You can actually reuse materials.”
Last year, the Garbage-Men played at local events, including festivals, farmer’s markets. Typically, the teens set up on the street and performed popular songs from the 1960s, including classic Beatles and crowd favorite “Wipe Out”. They talked about recycling and offered tips for how to improve the environment. While they were performing, Jack’s little brother Trent, 11, gave out leaflets about recycling and helped sell the band’s CDs and other musical products.
The band donated the money from sales to charity. They have raised more than $2,500 for Heifer International. The organization gives farm animals, seeds and agricultural training to people in poor countries to help end poverty and hunger. “It’s a good, sustainable-development (持续发展的)charity,” Jack says, “By donating one animal, you help the whole community.”
The band, all tenth graders, tries to play a show every week. They’ve also played on a Florida radio station. The teens hope to take their shows on the road by touring in other states. “Music is a really good way to get a good message across to people because it’s really close.” Jack says. Their instruments may be rubbish, but their message isn’t.
【1】They are all members of the Garbage-Men band EXCEPT ________.
A.Ollie Gray B.Trent Berry
C.Austin Siegel D.Jack Berry
【2】Which of the following is the correct order of what the teens have done?
① The Garbage-Men played at local events.

A.③②④① B.②①④③
