Students being interviewed either by alumni representatives or an admissions office need to walk a very fine line between being prepared and being rehearsed.

Here are some basic interview suggestions for you:

Don't arrive late. Don't arrive too early either. 1.

Don't dress inappropriately. There’s no need for a jacket and tie, 2. . That means no sneakers, shorts, T-shirts or jeans. Choose your outfit two days before the interview.

3. . Make sure you do your homework on specific majors, programs and their study abroad opportunities.

Don't be boring. Make yourself stand out with what you choose to talk about, such as your summer experiences, your volunteer and community service involvement, your club activities and internships or work experience. 4.

Don't sound like you've rehearsed. 5.

Don't forget to come prepared with your own questions. These questions are often where a student has the best opportunity to set themselves apart from other applicants. Create a list of questions you can ask that will help you decide if this could be the right college for you.

A. Being robotic and sounding like you've been preparing for three months will only work against you.

B. You won't have anything to do except getting more, nervous.

C. Not being well-informed about the college comes across as being disrespectful.

D. but you have to pretend you're going out for a nice dinner

E. Your questions should demonstrate critical thinking.

F. Don't assume you already know enough about the college

G. Share your interests and passions and let the interviewer feel like they know who you are when it's over.

When most people think of artists, they usually forget the part about the artist being a surveyor of beauty. This is because most people do not realize that there is actually a sort of process when it comes to making art so much so that lots of individuals(個人) cannot understand why true artists take their time when creating brilliant works.

The reason as to why artists take their time when creating their works is because they will first have to look for something beautiful which will inspire them. This is because an artist is someone who appreciates beauty and captures(捕獲) the said beauty in a portrait, a song, a novel, and any other forms of artistic medium available to man. Rather than those commercial artists who simply paint a picture because they are paid to do so, a true artist will only work if he or she is inspired. The true artist shall not compromise his or her work because of earth temptations(誘惑) and as such they run the risk of being ridiculed(嘲弄)in exchange for their happiness. History has however shown that the true artist who correctly appreciates beauty is one whose works will end up being celebrated.

How does a true artist spot beauty? The only possible way to go about doing this is to actually look at the world. This means that the true artist is someone who loves to walk around and look at new things. Whatever it may be, the point here is that the artist does take a bit of time out to survey the world and find something beautiful which would inspire him. At times it even happens that the object that inspires the artist is not a thing but rather a person. At the end of the day, it must be said that each artist has his own views of what is beautiful and what is not. The true artist is someone who appreciates beauty.

1.What do we learn from the first paragraph?

A. Most people know little about how artists work.

B. People understand only how true artists work.

C. Most people appreciate the work of artists.

D. People tend to ignore the works of artists.

2.True artists are ridiculed because they .

A. have a strange lifestyle

B. resist earth temptations

C. refuse to live a happy life

D. search for something beautiful

3.What is the author's attitude towards true artist?

A. Doubtful. B. Concerned.

C. Appreciative. D. Disapproving.

4.The main purpose of the passage is to .

A. tell us the result of a survey

B. make a comparison

C. make a suggestion

D. argue for a point

I am 26. I’m clear that I’m never going to catch up with Mother Teresa. But I want to do something to help people every single day like her.

Everybody thinks we just serve food and soda. The safety training is serious and stressful. Caring for 49 people in a business class in 90 minutes is not easy. I had a roommate who was a waitress; she just left a candle and a table cloth burning, and I used a fire extinguisher (滅火器) to put out the fire. If something goes bad at her job, she calls the police. But if something happens up in the air, it’s up to us.

I’m single and have no kids. I’ve flown every Christmas since 1995. If I fly, someone else can be with their kids. Christmas in an airport can be depressing, but it’s the little things that make a difference.

We’re not robots. It’s hard to put on a smile and just pretend everything is great when it isn’t. I’ve seen co-workers lose a family member the day before a trip and just pull themselves together (take control of their feelings and behave in a calm way). At the end of a 14-hour flight, it’s like, “It was really nice to help you, but I’m ready for you to get off the plane.” Those last 15 minutes can be the longest 15 minutes of your life. You can’t wait to turn off the flight attendant’s voice and get something to eat without anyone saying “Excuse me.”

Sometimes I go all day and never hear a “please” or a “thank you.” When you say thank you, it’s huge. It makes us feel like you actually see us as fellow humans. We’re up there together at a height of 30,000 feet, enjoying the miracle (奇跡) of the modern flight.

1.What’s the author’s attitude towards Mother Teresa?

A. Grateful. B. Fearful.

C. Doubtful. D. Admiring.

2. How did the author like her roommate’s job?

A. It was the same as hers.

B. It was more interesting than hers.

C. It was easier than hers.

D. It was more serious than hers.

3.Why does the author fly every Christmas?

A. Because she has nowhere to go.

B. Because she’s trying to be a helpful co-worker.

C. Because she owes her co-workers some favors.

D. Because she’d like to earn more money.

4.What does the author imply by saying the underlined sentence “We’re not robots”?

A. Flight attendants are not stronger than robots.

B. Flight attendants also experience emotions.

C. Flight attendants get tired while robots don’t.

D. Flight attendants need to rest now and then.

“Selfie” (自拍) joins ranks of dictionary words.

In 2002, an Australian man went to his friend’s 21st birthday party. He got drunk, tripped on some steps and cut his lip. He took a picture of his injuries and shared it with his friends on an online forum. “And sorry about the focus,” he wrote, “it was a selfie.” That was the first recorded use of the word “selfie”, according to linguistic experts at Oxford Dictionaries.

On Nov 19, Oxford Dictionaries declared “selfie” Word of the Year for 2013, in honor of the term having taken over the world thanks to millions of smart phone self-portraits and the resulting shares on social media.

So what does the choice of the word say about our culture? Mary Elizabeth Williams, writing in Salon magazine, says the word reminds us that contemporary culture is defined by our narcissism(自戀).Megan Jackson from a local newspaper points out a selfie may only focus on appearance.

Selfies invite judgment based on appearance alone. What kind of cultural influence does this have on women? Erin Gloria Ryan on Jezebel says selfies teach young woman to obsess over their appearance and judge themselves on the basis of beauty rather than accomplishments. “They’re a reflection of the warped way we teach girls to see themselves as decorative,” said Ryan.

In Slate magazine, Rachel Simmons has the opposite view. She argues that selfies are an example of young women promoting themselves and taking control of their own self-presentation. Think of each one, she says, as “a tiny pulse of girl pride —a shout-out to the self”.

1.Which of the following is true about the first use of “selfie”?

A. The Australian man created it to celebrate his friend’s 21st birthday.

B. The Australian man created by chance when he got drunk and shared his photo online.

C. The Oxford Dictionary used it to thank the creation of smart phone.

D. The social media were so advanced that they made the word transmitted.

2.The underlined word “tripped” in the first paragraph probably means “________”.

A. traveled B. stepped lightly

C. fell down D. made mistakes

3.Who holds a positive opinion towards selfie in the life of women?

A. Mary Elizabeth. B. Megan Jackson.

C. Erin Gloria Ryan. D. Rachel Simmons.

4.The text is mainly concerned with ________.

A. the introduction of the word “selfie”

B. the choice of the word “selfie”

C. the history of the word “selfie”

D. the characteristics of the word “selfie”
