Question

Answer the questions.

My daughter, Tina, began to look for a job several months before she graduated from university. “Because of the financial crisis（金融危機）, it is more difficult to get into a company than to take the college entrance exam.” I told her, “You shouldn’t have too much hope or you would feel really disappointed.” Tina applied for a position in a company in the city center. The competition was fierce. The company was to employ only one among the twenty people. Tina said to me, “I am not afraid of disappointment. As long as I try, there will always be hope! ”
Everything seemed to go quite well and Tina passed the first round and entered the final in a week’s time.
On the day of the final interview, Tina and two other candidates （候選人）arrived on time, waiting for the test. To their great surprise, the interview was quite simple, and the intereviewer only chatted with them for a moment. The interviewer said to them, “All of you are super. Please go home and wait for our anwer. We will tell you the result in three days. Good luck to all of you!” On the third day, Tina received the message from the company telling her that she was not employed. She felf upset. In order to comfort her, I pretended to be relaxed and said, “It does not matter! I believe you will have more opportunities in the future!”
Late in the afternoon, Tina suddenly told me excitedly on the phone, “Dad, good news. I’ve mde it! ” I could not wait to ask her, “What’s the whole matter?” Tina told me that she received a second message saying that she was employed. She was so confused that she made a call to the company. In fact, the message Tina got in the morning was alse part of the test of the interview. The three candidates received the same message this morning and only Tina’s reply was satisfying to the company. “How did all of you reply?” I asked. “One did not reply. The other said ‘Goodbye’ and I said ‘Thank you’ .”

試題解析:本文大意：我女兒，蒂娜，在大學畢業前幾個月開始找工作。我告訴她因為金融危機，進入公司比高考更難。競爭很殘酷，20個人錄用一個。事情進行的很順利，她進入了最后的面試，那天，蒂娜和其他兩個候選人準時到達，等候考試，面試后，讓她們回家等消息。第三天，蒂娜收到信息說沒有錄用，為了安慰她，我假裝放松地說，沒關系，將來有更好的機會。下午她又打電話告訴我她成功了。原來她很疑惑所以就打電話到公司，實際上蒂娜早上收到的信息也是面試的一部分。她的答復讓公司很滿意，一個沒有回復，一個說再見，她說的是謝謝。
