     Fifty Japanese graduates decided to gamble with their job opportunities at a mahjong

tournament set up by interviewers looking for a different way to choose interviewees.  Held in

a crammed mahjong outlet in downtown Tokyo, competitors competed against each other on

Friday to gain the chance to face interviewers from six companies in the fitness, education,

technology and real estate sectors.

      "Mahjong is a very strategic game, so I think people who are good at it would be good at

marketing. This is a new approach and I find it really interesting," candidate Tomoko

Hasegawa, who desired to become a designer, told Reuters.

    Mahjong, which originated in China, is similar to a western card game, and players in

Japan said the game required skill, strategy, calculation and a degree of chance.

     Organizers said the tournaments began in 2012 and had gained popularity, mostly among

male students, and also with hirers, who said the game revealed more about the candidates

than just long pages of resumes（简历).

     On Friday, eight students advanced to the next round of the selection process. Between

five and ten students are hired by participating companies every year, organizers said.

29. What did hirers mainly want to express in Para.  4?

      A. The rules of the game.

      B. The qualifications of the candidates.

      C. The functions of the tournaments.

      D. The advantages of long pages of resumes.

30. What is Tomoko Hasegawa's attitude toward mahjong?

      A. A very popular activity.

      B. A competition to win jobs.

      C. A risk of gaining or losing money.

      D. A game related to a set of plans.

31. Why was the mahjong tournament set up?

      A. For employers to pick out interviewees.

      B. To promote the game of mahjong in Japan.

      C. For college students to show their special talents.

      D. To improve employees' skills and working ability.
