A The survey, of 265 senior HR professionals and more than 1, 000 employees, also found that employers were taking a more strategic approach. Rather than relying on one online method of attracting and finding staff, companies are using a number of techniques—87 percent of those using corporate websites also use job boards, while 56 percent of respondents reported using more than three online options at the same time. Research conducted last year by Brooklands, a provider of integrated HR solutions, reveals that companies with fast recruitment processes have a definite advantage in the online war for talent. B Nearly three-quarters of recruiters also reported wasting time interviewing unsuitable candidates, although this is something that can be addressed by the use of online tests, which sift out unsuitable candidates before face-to-face interviews take place. ’’The aim is not so much to filter people out,’’ says Trevor Bond, Siemens’’ UK project management champion, ’’but to get as much information as possible on the individuals before they get to interview stage.’’ C JD Wetherspoon’’s online recruitment process for shift and kitchen managers, designed in conjunction with Changeworknow, combines relationships. ’’The online application form looks formal,’’ admits senior recruitment and training manager Paula Goodwin. ’’But the system is quite informal, on the whole. It’’s chatty and upbeat, and candidates get a few quirky comments from the system as they go along. That makes the experience fun.’’ D Job boards do not create more candidates; they simply provide another channel through which they can be contacted. To survive, therefore, they have to deliver value above other channels. Another area where job boards are their mark is in the provision of candidate pools. Website visitors will not always be-searching for work, but they may still register their CVs on the off chance that their dream job will come along. ’’We have got a database of 1.3 million passive jobseekers,’’ says Keith Potts, managing director of Jobsite.co.uk. ’’It’’s become a shop window for employees—a place where anyone can get headhunted.’’ E Richard Alberge, chief executive of PSL, believes there is an evolution taking place in online recruitment. ’’It’’s not only about job boards and testing. It’’s about how technology can make a difference, ’’ he says. He recognized there is still potential for growth among job boards. But he is also aware that some areas of Internet activity, including social networking sites such as Friends Reunited, Yahoo groups and even eBay communities, have yet to make their mark on the recruitment arena. These online communities could prove a better resource for candidates than any number of CV databases. 0. It is believed that online recruitment is developing. (E)
A.
Online recruitment is more effective than interviewing every candidate.

【单选题】A baby held in the right arm of its mother can be easily frightened(). A. Right B. Wrong C. Not mentioned
A.
An Observation and an Explanation
B.
It is worth looking at one or two aspects of the way a mother behaves towards her baby. The usual fondling, cuddling and cleaning require little comment, but the position in which she holds the baby against her body when resting is rather revealing. Careful studies have shown the fact that 80 percent of mothers hold their infants in their left arms, holding them against the left side of their bodies. If asked to explain the significance of this preference most people reply that it is obviously the result of the predominance of right-handedness in the population. By holding the babies in their left arms, the mothers keep their dominant arm free for manipulations. But a detailed analysis shows that this is not the case. True, there is a slight difference between right-handed and left-handed females; but not enough to provide adequate explanation. It emerges that 83 percent of right-handed mothers hold the baby on the left side, but so do 78 percent of left-handed mothers. In other words, only 22 percent of the left-handed mothers have their dominant hands free for actions. Clearly there must be some other, less obvious explanation.
C.
The only other clue comes from the fact that the heart is on the side of the mother’s body. Could it be that the sound of her heartbeat is the vital factor And in what way Thinking along these lines it was argued that perhaps during its existence inside the body of the mother the unborn baby get used to the sound of the heart beat. If this is so, then the re-discovery of this familiar sound after birth might have a claiming effect on the infant, especially as it has just been born into a strange and frighteningly new world. If this is so then the mother would, somehow, soon arrive at the discovery that her baby is more at peace if held on the left against her heart than on the right.

【单选题】In the fifth paragraph, "that gap" refers to the gap between（） A. the annual emissions of the rich and poor countries B. the current levels of emission and levels set by Stern C. reducing greenhouse g...
A.
It seems impossible to have an honest conversation about global warming. I say this after diligently perusing the British government’s huge report released last week by Sir Nicholas Stern, former chief economist of the World Bank and now a high civil servant. The report is a masterpiece of misleading public relations. It foresees dire consequences if global warming isn’t curbed: a worldwide depression and flooding of many coastal cities. Meanwhile, the costs of minimizing these awful outcomes are small: only 1 percent of world economic output in 2050.
B.
No sane person could fail to conclude that we should conquer global warming instantly, if not sooner. Who could disagree Well, me. Stem’s headlined conclusions are intellectual fictions. They’re essentially fabrications to justify an aggressive anti-global-warming agenda. The danger of that is that we’d end up with the worst of both worlds: a program that harms the economy without much cutting of greenhouse gases.
C.
Let me throw some messy realities onto Stern’s tidy picture. In the global-warming debate, there’s a big gap between public rhetoric and public behavior. Greenhouse emissions continue to rise despite many earnest pledges to control them. Just last week, the United Nations reported that of the 41 countries it monitors (not including most developing nations), 34 had increased greenhouse emissions from 2000 to 2004. These include most countries committed to reducing emissions under the Kyoto Protocol.
D.
Why is this In rich democracies, policies that might curb greenhouse gases require politicians and the public to act in exceptionally "enlightened" ways. They have to accept "pain" now for benefits that won’t materialize for decades, probably after they’re dead. And even if rich countries cut emissions, it won’t make much difference unless poor countries do likewise and so far, they’ve refused because that might jeopardize their economic growth and poverty-reduction efforts.
E.
The notion that there’s only a modest tension between suppressing greenhouse gases and sustaining economic growth is highly dubious. Stern arrives at his trivial costs—that 1 percent of world GDP in 2050—by essentially assuming them. His estimates presume that, with proper policies, technological improvements will automatically reconcile declining emissions with adequate economic growth. This is a heroic leap. To check warming, Stern wants annual emissions 25 percent below current levels by 2050. The IEA projects that economic growth by 2050 would more than double emissions. At present, we can’t bridge that gap.
F.
The other great distortion in Stern’s report involves global warming’s effects. No one knows what these might be, because we don’t know how much warming might occur, when, where, or how easily people might adapt. Stern’s horrific specter distills many of the most terrifying guesses, including some imagined for the 22nd century, and implies they’re imminent. The idea is to scare people while reassuring them that policies to avert calamity, if started now, would be fairly easy and inexpensive.
