Employers often decide to hire someone in the first three minutes of the interview. They judge you by your appearance, attitude and manners.A friendly smile when you walk into the room is important. A smile shows a confident and positive attitude.When you introduce yourself, make eye contact with the interviewer. Some interviewers offer a handshake. Others don't.Try to be as natural as possible. But pay attention to your body language. The way you sit, walk, gesture, use your voice and show feelings on your face is all part of your body language. It makes the interviewer know how you feel about yourself and the situation you are in. Are you feeling positively about yourself? Your abilities? Your interest in the job?Speak clearly and loudly enough. Show interest and enthusiasm in your voice. When you speak, look at the interviewer. Also, don't say negative things about yourself, or former employer.Listen to questions carefully. If you don't understand a question, ask the interviewer to repeat or explain: "I'm sorry, but I didn't catch that." "I'm not sure exactly what you mean."Almost everyone is nervous in a job interview. Interviewers know that. They don't expect you to be totally calm and relaxed. But they expect you to try to control your nervousness. They expect you to show confidence in your ability to do the job.At the end of the interview, thank the interviewer for her or his time.It's a good idea to send a short thank-you letter right after the interview, or deliver it by hand. Phone the company if you have not heard anything after one week. Ask if they have made a decision about the job.Good luck!1．It can be inferred from the passage that _____.A．you should always put on a smile when meeting the employerB．you should stand still with respect before the employerC．employers understand and like employees' nervousnessD．the first impression is very important in an interview2．Why should we pay attention to our body language?A．Because it is needed by our employer.B．Because it can help us feel about the employer.C．Because it can help us win the employer's positive impression.D．Because we need it to improve our feelings.3．The main purpose of the passage is _____.A．to tell right from wrong about job interviewsB．to give you some advice on the art of finding a jobC．to explain why we should do something about an interviewD．to suggest not being shy in an interview4．Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?A．A Friendly SmileB．Sending a Thank-You LetterC．Don't Be NervousD．Making a Good ImpressionExperience the newly opened Grand Canyon (大峡谷) West Skywalk in Colorado.

At least it was back in 1992 when I traveled the country. Back then everyone seemed to be riding a bicycle. Millions of them, all black. Cars were rare. Yet since my arrival in Beijing last year, I’ve found the opposite is true. There are millions of cars. How ever, people still use their bicycles to get around. For many, it’s the easiest and cheapest way to travel today. Bicycles also come in different colors --- silver, green, red, blue, yellow, whatever you want.It’s fun watching people biking. They rush qui ckly through crossroads, move skillfully through traffic, and ride even on sidewalks. Bicycles allow people the freedom to move about that cars just can’t provide.Eager to be part of this aspect of Chinese culture, I decided to buy a bicycle. Great weather accompanied my great buy. I immediately jumped up on my bicycle seat and started home.My first ride home was orderly (守秩序的). To be safe, I stayed with a “pack” of bikers while cars on the streets came running swiftly out of nowhere at times. I didn’t wa nt to get hit. So I took the ride carefully.Crossing the streets was the biggest problem. It was a lot like crossing a major highway back in the United States. The streets here were wide, so crossing took time, skill and a little bit of luck.I finally made it home. The feeling on the bicycle was amazing. The air hitting my face and going through my hair was wonderful. I was sitting on top of the world as I passed by places and people. Biking made me feel alive.9．According to the author, why are bicycles still popular in China today?A．Because they are traditional and safe.B．Because they are convenient and inexpensive.C．Because they are colorful and available.D．Because they are fast and environment friendly.10．The author decided to buy a bicycle because he intended __________.A．to ride it for fun B．to use it for transportC．to experience local culture D．to improve his riding skills11．How did the author feel about his street crossing？A．It was boring.

Smart socks, which can teach to dance, may be the answer for_____________.The socks have been developed as a running tool to help runners improve their skills. Thanks to the socks, users can accurately（精确地）record not only know far and fast they run but also how well.

Then a “virtual coach” application shows the information and c an tell the user what they are doing wrong, and help to improve skill in any task with feet.The socks should be useful to athletes and weekend joggers. “People think running is so easy and of course everybody can do it but not necessarily safely and well,” Dr Davide Vigano said. A recent study showed that between 60 and 80percent of runners got hurt per year. This is pretty much more than any other human activity. Researchers say the technology can also be developed to teach people how to dance, play sports such golf, or even to help to teach women to walk better in high heels.Mr. Vigano said, “People could all benefit from the idea. We have had interest from all sorts of sports, like skiing, football, cycling and golf. Anything where you have to use your feet canuse it. It could even be put in high heels to help women walk in them safely.”Socks are just the start, and the technology could be used in gloves, hats and boots. The socks, anklet and software package, are expected to be sold for around ￡120, which will go onsalein March.13．What does the underlined part “anyone with two left feet” refer to?A．People who are disabled.B．People who invented the socks.C．People who are not good at dancing.D．People who are interested in dancing.14．What’s special about fibers that the socks are made of ?A．They can monitor the movement of feet.B．They feel much softer than normal clothes.C．They are expensive to produce.D．They act as a smart phone for users.15．According to Dr Vigano, _____A．60 to 80percent of runners would like to buy the smart socks.B．users can run as fast as they like with the socks.C．everyone can make good use of the smart socks.D．no runners will get hurt, thanks to the socks.二、七选五Money MattersParents should help their children understand money. 16．So you may start talking about money when your child shows an interest in buying things, candy or toys, for example.1.The basic function of moneyBegin explaining the basic function of money by showing how people trade money for goods or services.
