I thought that was the end of it. But when I returned home the following day, Muriel exclaimed, “He’s 49 !”

She had spotted the insect among the cascading leaves of our cherry tree. For more than a month, the butterfly—that I now called Poppy—appeared whenever I returned home before

A

Apple hides secret job advertisements to attract world’s best tech talent. Apple took the recruiting (招聘) game a step further this week and hid a job advertisement on its website. The posting, for a technical engineer, said: “Hey there! You found us. We are looking for a talented engineer to develop a critical infrastructure component.”

Apple is not the first organization to seek new technical talent in innovative(创新的) ways. The use of puzzles and challenges to find people skilled in security goes back to World War Two, when code breaking site Bletchley Park published puzzles in newspapers.

Britain’s security agency GCHQ is also known for using online quizzes in recruitment drives and, in 2015, it ran a nationwide campaign with cryptic graffiti(神秘涂鸦).

Google has also hidden tasks for job seekers within its website. An engineer searching on Google’s website in 2015 for a list of technical functions was met with message that said: “You’re speaking our language. Up for a challenge?”

After Max Rosett completed six challenges the search giant asked for his resume and contact details. Three months later he started working at Google. 56. The passage is mainly meant to ________.

A. reveal some secrets hidden in some big technology companies

B. persuade readers to apply for some creative jobs in Apple and Google

C. compare the advantages and disadvantages in technology between Apple and Google D. inform readers of innovative ways in some technology companies to attract tech talents 57. From the passage, ________ can go back to the World War II. A. asking unusual questions in an interview

B. applying for innovative jobs in a famous newspaper C. carrying out a national campaign with cryptic graffiti

D. finding skilled people with puzzles and cryptic challenges
