【題目】任務(wù)型閱讀

閱讀下列短文，根據(jù)短文信息完成文后表格，每空一詞。

One of the most common questions I am asked is whether, when, and how to follow up (跟進(jìn)) after a job interview. Following up in some way is necessary. Yes, you can get a job without it, but if you’re having a competition with other top candidates (候選人), following up can sometimes help you when the other candidate doesn’t. Here’s how to follow up well：

Send a thank-you note at once. E-mail is fine for this and has the advantage of arriving faster, but handwritten notes are still appreciated (欣賞). And if there are many interviews, send a thank-you note each time.

Find out their timeline. Hopefully, you asked about their timeline in the interview itself, but if you didn’t, follow up within a week to express your interest and politely ask what they expect their timeline for a decision to be.

Be patient. Most commonly, job seekers (求職者) are too worried about the result. It doesn’t look worried to express your interest in the job or check in to ask about the timeline.

Don’t be nervous if you don’t hear from them at once. The hiring process often takes longer than you would like, maybe the man who makes the decision is out of town. If you’re past the time they decided, you would hear something, so you needn’t be nervous. Hiring often ends up taking longer than expected. Just politely follow up, explain you’re very interested but understand that hiring can take time, and ask if they have the latest timeline.

【解析】試題分析：短文大意：跟進(jìn)在某種程度上是必要的。該文介紹了一些跟進(jìn)的方法：發(fā)一封感謝信。找出他們的時(shí)間表。要有耐心。別緊張。

【1】根據(jù)第一段中Following up in some way is necessary.可知跟進(jìn)在某種程度上是必要的。所以填寫形容詞necessary，必要的，必需的。

【2】根據(jù)右欄介紹跟進(jìn)的方法可知該填寫名詞Ways，方法。

【3】根據(jù)第四段中Be patient.可知要有耐心是跟進(jìn)的一種方法，所以填寫形容詞patient，有耐心的。

【4】根據(jù)第二段中E-mail is fine for this and has the advantage of arriving faster,可知電子郵件到達(dá)的速度更快，所以填寫副詞faster，更快。

【5】根據(jù)第二段中but handwritten notes are still appreciated.可知手寫筆記仍然被欣賞，所以填寫handwritten，手寫的。

【6】根據(jù)第三段中but if you didn’t, follow up within a week to express your interest可知如果你沒有，在一周內(nèi)跟進(jìn)來表達(dá)你的興趣，所以填寫名詞interest，興趣。

【7】根據(jù)第三段中and politely ask what they expect their timeline for a decision to be.可知禮貌地問他們希望他們決定的時(shí)間表是什么。所以填寫動(dòng)詞expect，期待。

【8】根據(jù)第四段中Most commonly, job seekers (求職者) are too worried about the result可知大多數(shù)情況下，求職者太擔(dān)心結(jié)果。所以填寫形容詞common，普遍的。

【9】根據(jù)第五段中maybe the man who makes the decision is out of town可知招聘過程往往需要更長的時(shí)間，你想的人也許決定出城。所以填寫名詞maker。

【10】根據(jù)最后一段中Just politely follow up, explain you’re very interested可知有禮貌地跟進(jìn)，說明你很感興趣，所以填寫副詞politely，有禮貌地。
