Unit 2 The Olympic Games 阅读理解AIsabel has turned down two job offers in the past year. The first job she considered was the director of HR for a company in Utah. After the initial interviews, she felt the job fit her except for the location. Still, she flew west to meet the hiring manager. The hiring manager explained that Isabel was the top candidate for the job but that, before she continued with the process, she should better understand the firms culture. She directed Isabel to several videos of the companys CEO, who regularly appeared in front of the company in costume as part of moralebuilding exercises and expected his senior leaders to do the same.“Even though I was desperate for a job, I knew I couldnt do that，” Isabel says. She called the company to turn down the job and explained that she didnt feel there was a cultural fit.A few months later, she had an interview for another job：a director of employee relations at a local university. After several interviews, the hiring manager told her the job was hers if she wanted it. The job had many positives：it provided a lowstress environment, it offered great benefits, and the university was an employeefriendly place. But the job was relatively junior despite the title and Isabel worried it wouldnt be challenging enough. Finally, she turned it down.“ It would be great to have a paycheck and great benefits but I would definitely have trouble sleeping at night，” she says.In both cases, she was frank with the hiring managers about why she wasnt taking the jobs.“In the past, it felt like dating, and I was worried about hurting peoples feelings，” she says. However, they appreciated her frankness and thanked her for her honesty. She says it was hard to turn down the jobs and it was a risk for her financially but she felt she had to.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文，主要讲述了Isabel拒绝两份工作的经历和感想。1Which factor made Isabel turn down the first job finally?AThe companys location.BThe initial interviews.CThe firms culture.DThe hiring manager.C解析：细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，Isabel认为这种企业文化不适合自己，所以拒绝了这份工作，故C项正确。2What does the underlined word “junior” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?AChallenging.BEasy.CBeneficial.
