Why do humans have two eyes? 探讨JK罗琳从哈里·波特到成人小说的创作转型，解释为什么很多动物身上有条纹，说说为什么人类有两只眼睛…… Teenagers who can give convincing answers to these posers when they are interviewed for a place at Oxford could be just who the university is looking for, it was revealed yesterday. 昨天披露的牛津大学入学选拔试题里就有这些问题，如果你能给出令人信服的答案，那你可能就是牛津大学中意的学生。 Tutors at Oxford lifted the lid on the interview process to explode some of the myths about what is seen as the most nerve-racking aspect of admissions. 牛津大学的老师揭开了该校入学选拔中最令人伤脑筋的面试问题部分的神秘面纱。 The university has increasingly come to rely on interviews to identify high-fliers because public exams fail to discriminate between the bright and the exceptional. It also considers other information, such as results in admissions tests, references and predicted grades. 牛津大学现在越来越多地依靠面试来选拔学生，因为公开考试不足以将聪明的学生和超常学生区分开来。除了面试，该校也会考虑学生的其他信息，比如入学考试的成绩、推荐信和预测评级。 |
