Interviews are an imperfect method of choosing the best people for jobs,__(32)__, human beings like to examine each other in this way.

Similarly, in the race cases where interviews are automatic, a candidate with an inadequate form may do surprisingly well.

III. READ THE PASSAGE AND CHOOSE THE BEST ANSWER TO EACH QUESTION (M):
At 32, I have just finished my first year at university. As well as attending lectures regularly, I have had to learn to read books quickly and write long essays. I decided to go to university after fourteen years away from the classroom. As a secretary, although I was earning a reasonable amount of money, I was bored with doing something where I hardly had to think. I became more and more depressed by the idea that I was stuck in the job. I was jealous of the students at the local university, who looked happy, carefree and full of hope, and part of something that I wanted to explore further. However, now that I've actually become a student I find it hard to mix with younger colleagues. They are always mistaking me for a lecturer and asking me questions I can't answer. I also feel separated from the lecturers because, although we are the same age, I know so much less than them. But I am glad of this opportunity to study because I know I need a qualification to get a rewarding job, which is really important to me. Unlike most eighteen-year-olds, I much prefer a weekend with my books to one out partying. Then there are the normal student benefits of long holidays and theatre and cinema discounts. I often have doubts about what I'll do after university, but I hope that continuing my education at this late date has been a wise choice.
What is the writer trying to do in the text?
 	A. help lecturers understand older students. 	
 	B. explain her reasons for returning to study.
	C. suggest some good methods for studying.
	D. complain about the attitude of young students.
The writer has finished her first year at university when she is _______ years old.
 	A. 32 	B. 14 	C. 18 	D. 40
How did the writer feel about her job as a secretary?
 	A. Her salary wasn't good enough.	C. It didn't make use of her brain.
 	B. It gave her the opportunity to study. 	D. Her colleagues made her depressed.
In her spare time, the writer likes to ________
 	A. go out to parties. 	B. earn some money.	C. travel a lot.	D. do extra study.
Which of these sentences describes the writer?
 	A. She realises the value of a university degree. 	 
	B. She gets on well with the other students.
 	C. She is confident about the future.	 
	D. She finds university life easier than she expected.
IV. FILL IN EACH NUMBERED BLANK WITH ONE SUITABLE WORD OR PREPOSITION (M):
