Waiting for the bus to the office where he was to be interviewed, he saw an old man kicking a tyre (轮胎) of his car wildly. Obviously, there was something wrong with the car. Tom immediately went up to give him a hand. When he finished repairing the car, the old man asked him how much he should pay.

Its the least I could do.” Tom agreed. On his arrival, Tom found there was a long line of applicants (求职者) waiting to be interviewed. Toms shirt was still dirty after the car repair, but he did not have time to have a change of shirt. One by one, the applicants left the interviewers office with disappointed look on their faces. Finally his name was called. The interviewer was sitting on a large chair facing the office window. Rocking the chair back and forth, he asked, “Do you really need to be interviewed?” Toms heart sank. “With the way I look now, how could I possibly pass this interview?” he thought to himself. Soon after the interviewer turned the chair and to Toms surprise, it was the old man he helped earlier in the morning. It turned out he was the General Manager of the company. “Sorry to keep you waiting so long, but I was pretty sure I made the right decision to have you as part of our company before you came into the office. I just know youd be a trustworthy worker. Congratulations!” Tom sat down and they shared a cup of coffee happily together. 24. What happened to the old mans car? A. It broke down. B.

This could be the perfect gift for the partner, who embarrasses you on the dance floor. Smart socks, which can teach to dance, may satisfy anyone with two left feet.The socks have been developed as a running tool to help runners improve their skills. Thanks to the socks, users can accurately record not only how far and fast they run but also how well. It means the user maximizes their performance, and reduces damage to body and prevents hurt. The hi-tech socks are made of special fibers that watch the movements of your feet. They look, feel and can be washed like normal clothes.Sensors record each movement and send it by an ankle transmitter (脚踝发射器)to a smart phone. Then a “virtual coach” application shows the information and can tell the user what they are doing wrong, and help to improve skills in any task with feet.The socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers. “People think running is so easy and of course everybody can do it but not necessarily safely and well,” Dr. Davide Vigano said. A recent study showed that between 60 and 80 percent of runners got hurt per year. This is pretty much more than any other human activity. Researchers say the technology can also be developed to teach people how to dance, play sports such as golf, or even to help to teach women to walk better in high heels.Mr. Vigano said, “People could all benefit from the idea. We have had interest from all sorts of sports, like skiing, football, cycling and golf. Anything where you have to use your feet can use it. It could even be put in high heels to help women walk in them safely.”Socks are just the start, and the technology could be used in gloves, hats and boots. The socks, anklet and software package, are expected to be sold for around120, which will go on sale in the near future . 32.What does the underlined phrase “with two left feet” in paragraph1 mean?A. Having no right foot.B. Having no sense of music.C. Being bad at dancing.D. Inventing the socks.33. Whats special about fibers that are used to make the socks?A. They feel much softer than normal clothes.B. They can watch the movement of feet.C. They are expensive to produce.D. They act as a smart phone for users.34. What can we learn from Dr. Viganos words?A. Everyone can make good use of the smart socks.B. Users can run as fast as they like with the socks.C. The socks dont suit women with high heels. D. No runners will get hurt because of the socks.35. Whats the best title for the text ? A. Smart Socks on Sale B. Sundells First Test C. Smart Socks Closer to Reality D.
