A
Maxwell had not held a steady job in almost two years． Today was a big day, because he was going to a job interview that he felt good about． The secretary he had talked to on the phone sounded friendly and encouraging．
Maxwell was a typist． His fingers danced on the keyboard． However, his people skills were not nearly as good as his typing skills． Sometimes his mouth got in the way of his employment． At his last steady job, his boss had told him to start making coffee every morning． Maxwell laughed． “I’m not making coffee,” he said． “It’s not part of my job description．”
“Read the employee manual again,” his boss said． “Your job description is anything I say it is．”
“That’s a woman’s job,” said Maxwell． “Do it yourself．”
His boss was still yelling as Maxwell walked out of the building． He felt great about telling off the boss． A few days later, the reality of not having a job hit home． He had to pay the rent and utility bills, and he had to eat． What was he going to do?
He thought about apologizing and asking for his job back． But how would that look? Then again, who cares how it looks when you’re almost broke? After thinking about it for another week, he finally called his boss and apologized． His boss accepted his apology, but said that he had already hired a replacement．
Maxwell contacted a temporary job agency, which provided him enough occasional work to pay his bills． But none of the companies that he was sent to were hiring． So Maxwell was excited about finally getting an interview for a steady job．
Maxwell’s drive to the interview was disappointing． The traffic was congested and the neighborhood looked rough． It took him 45 minutes to get there． The building was covered with graffiti．（涂鸦）
The interview started 30 minutes late． Not bothering to apologize, the manager lit a cigarette and took a sip from his coffee cup． He leaned back in his chair and put his feet up on his desk． He asked Maxwell a lot of questions． Maxwell thought that each question was stupider than the preceding question． The final question was, “Where would you like to be 10 years from now?”
What does that have to do with typing? Maxwell wondered． Stupid questions from a rude man in a lousy neighborhood! Where would he like to be 10 years from now?
“Anywhere but this dump!” Maxwell said angrily, as he stood up and walked out．
51．Maxwell lost his last steady job because_________．
A． he was not a qualified typist．
B． he couldn’t make coffee
C． he was not skillful enough in communicating with people．
D． he didn’t apologize in time．
52．The underlined word ‘congested’ most probably means _________．
A． too blocked or crowded
B． dangerous and poor
C． light and slow-moving
D． constant but fast-flowing
53．According to the passage, which statement is right about the job interview?
A． Maxwell was 30 minutes late．
B． The manager got no manners in the interview．
C． The interviewer asked a lot of silly questions except the last one．
D． Maxwell misunderstood the interviewer’s questions．
54．After the interview, we can infer that _________．
A． Maxwell will celebrate his big day．
B． The manager will apologize to Maxwell．
C． Maxwell will finally get this post．
D． Maxwell will have to find another job interview．
B
Coral Polge is a person who has provided comfort to thousands． She has a remarkable talent which may prove the survival of the human spirit after death, for Coral is a medium who draws the portraits of spirits who contact her．
Coral, whose parents were spiritualists, was brought up in Harrow, North London, where she attended a local spiritualist church． She studied art at the local college, where she specialized in textile design． Even though, at the time, she wasn’t very good at drawing portraits, she met a medium who told her she would be a psychic（通灵的） artist．
She doesn’t actually see the dead nor are her hands controlled by the spirits; instead she ‘feels’ them coming through． Early in her career she drew the portraits of ‘spirit guides’ from whom she had received help． These portraits of guides, who included Red Indians, nuns and monks, were remarkable, yet could have been attributed to the working of a strong imagination． She also drew portraits by holding on to letters that had been written by people who had since died．
Coral says, ‘I know exactly what to draw without thinking about it． It’s involuntary, like breathing or walking．’ Not only are her portraits a good likeness but she sketches her subjects in clothes they would have worn in life．
Coral has displayed her talent at public meetings around the world． At one gathering there was a woman whose grandfather had just died． Her name was Phyllis Timms． Coral made a sketch of a man who had a long moustache and Phyllis recognized the man as her grandfather． However, she was reluctant to acknowledge the portrait without extra proof． Coral then said that the colour green was a link with the man whom she had drawn． Mrs Timms, whose maiden name had been Green, understood the significance of the comment and claimed the portrait．
There are some people for whom this is evidence of survival from beyond the grave． Others, who have their reservations, may put it down to an extraordinary kind of extrasensory perception（超感知觉）． Whatever the reason, it remains a gift impossible to explain away and we should try to keep an open mind．
55． Coral draws the portrait of spirits in order to _________．
A． prove the existence of the human spirit．
B． help those people who miss the dead．
C． show off her special talent．
D． inspire people who believe in ghosts．
56． According to the passage, Coral can draw the spirits most probably because ________．
A． she could see the spirits．
B． she learned it from college．
C． she had a strong imagination．
D． she was gifted to feel the spirits．
57． In the example of Phyllis Timms, _________________．
A． Coral failed to draw the portrait of the dead．
B． Phyllis eventually admitted the portrait was right about her
