Passage Two扭秧歌音乐
In our society，we must communicate with other people．A great deal of communication is performed on a person-to-person basis by the simple means of speech．If we travel in bus or stand in football match queues，we are likely to have conversations in which we give information or
opinions，and sometimes have our views challenged by other members of society．Face-to-face contact is by no means the only form of communication and during the last two hundred years the art of mass communication has become one of the dominating factors of contemporary society．Two things above others have caud the enormous growth of the communication industry．Firstly，inventiveness has led to advances in
printing，photography，and so on．Secondly，speed has revolutionized the transmission and reception of communications so that local news often takes a back at to national news．
No longer is the posssion of information confined to a privileged minority．Forty years ago people ud to flock to the cinema，but now far more people sit at home and turn on the TV to watch a program that is being channeled into millions of homes．
练普通话Communication is no longer merely concerned with the transmission of information．The modern communications industry influences the way people live in society and broadens their horizons by allowing access to information, education and entertainment．The printing，broadcasting and advertising industries are all involved with their informing，educating and entertaining functions．Although a great deal of the material communicated by the mass media is very valuable to the indivi

Passage Three
Recruiting the right candidate to fill a vacancy can be a difficult and costly task．Appointing the wrong person could be an expensive mistake which could cau personnel problems for the whole department．And，as every HR manager knows，it is much more difficult to get rid of someone than it is to employ them．
The HR manager’s first decision is whether to recruit internal applicants or adverti the vacancy outside the company．Internal applicants are easy to recruit by memo，e-mail or newsletter．Furthermore，they are easy to asss and know the company well．However，they rarely bring fresh ideas to a position．Moreover，a rejected internal candidate might become unhappy and leave the company．
Recruiting outside the company means either advertising the vacancy directly or using an employment agency．If the company decides to adverti the vacancy directly，it has to decide where to place the advertiment．Traditionally this has meant newspapers and professional journals but now the Internet is also very popular．The decision normally depends on the vacancy．Companies adverti blue-collar or clerical jobs in local newspapers and nior management positions in national papers or professional journals，while the Internet is one of best ways of advertising IT vacancies or recruiting abroad．However，with the Internet there is a risk of
receiving unsuitable applications, from all over the world．
An agency can be either a commercial business or a government employment center．A company often us a government agency to reruit blue-collar workers but normally prefers a commercial agency for its white-collar staff．However，a commercial agency could be very expensive and the applicants are less likely to stay with the company for a long time．
