So you have been called for an interview---well done?Your effort has been paid off? You will feeI better at the interview if you show an understanding of the nature of the organization．
Ask someone who already does it，or check it with one of the advisers．
Ask a member of your family or a friend to act as the employer and to give you an unreal interview．Be as realistic as possible，answer the questions seriously．Afterwards discuss how it went．Think about how the employer would prefer to see your look．Remember---the majority of employers are over 30.
It is not wise to rush out and buy new clothes.which will be worn for the first time at the interview．You’ll feel more at ease in a familiar dress．
Carelessness in any of these could cost you the job．Arrive at least 15 minutes before time，this will give you a chance to have a look around，read the notice board and get the feel of the place．Being late at the interview produces a bad impression．The first impression that the interviewer gets of you is formed as you walk through the door，so take a couple of deep breaths．
Be ready to shake hands if the interviewer offers．
Don’t take a seat until asked．Then sit comfortably．
Make eye contact  when you are greeted and again if you shake hands．And during questioning,eye contact is a form of non-verbal greeting．
Remember the interviewer’s name and use it from time to time．
Be ready for the question “Is there anything you want to ask?” Before the interview you should get ready for two or three such questions．Look on these not just as a chance to get information but as a means to give your employer a better impression．Asking can show knowledge but avoid asking about holidays，pensions(養(yǎng)老金)and so on．It looks as if you are tired even before you begin．You can check on these later，when the hope for job is offered．
And if you fail, look upon the interview as an experience in itself．Learn from it．We wish you good luck and good job hunting．

Ever wondered how one person could save the planet from the effects of climate change?
A British-made computer game on trial release on Monday creates different ways of doing just that．
“Fate of the World”puts the Earth’s future in players’ hands, placing them in charge of an international environmental body which could save the world from the effects of rising greenhouse gas emissions（排放）or let it destroyed by more emissions．
Through different scenes, players can explore options such as geoengineering（地球工程） and alternative energy sources to save the planet from rising temperatures, decreasing natural resources and a growing population over the next 200 years．
An improved version of the game will be followed by a three-month feedback period from players, with final release due in February next year．
Created by Oxford-based games developer Red Redemption, the game is different from other mainstream action games mainly by using data from real climate models and advice from scientists and economists．
“Science data is often inaccessible and we are trying to put players in a position of power and connected with the issues,” Gobion Rowlands, Red Redemption’s founder and chairman said．
This year, a series of apparent errors in climate science and the failure of UN talks to reach an international deal to cut greenhouse gas emissions appeared to weaken the public’s interest in climate change．
However, games centered on sustainability（持續(xù)性）and human rights have been growing in popularity and are welcomed by green groups as a way of raising awareness．
Using climate change as inspiration for entertainment shows the issue has affected global culture, which can only be a good thing．Friends of the Earth’s head of climate Mike Childs said.“We need creative industries to work with these big issues as the results can be extremely powerful and can help us to understand what a sustainable future looks and feels like,”he added．
小題1:“Fate of the World” in the passage refers to                      ．
A．a(chǎn) book on computer gamesB．a(chǎn) company developing computer games
C．a(chǎn) computer game on climate changeD．a(chǎn) player in charge of computer games
小題2:What makes the climate computer game different from the other games?
A．It uses data from real climate models and advice from experts．
B．It is the only computer game about climate．
C．It can save the planet from the effect of climate change．
D．It aims to affect the global culture．
小題3:It can be concluded from the passage that                        ．
A．games on sustainability and human rights are very popular among young players
B．the game increases players’ awareness of environmental protection
C．only computer experts can play the new climate computer game
D．a(chǎn)fter a three-month feedback period from players, the new game is on sale now
小題4:Which of the following can NOT the players experience while playing the new game?
A．Challenging the climate change in an unreal world
B．Understanding what a sustainable future looks and feels like
C．Enjoying the power to decide the earth’s fate
D．Predicting what will happen in 200 years
小題5:In which column of a newspaper can you probably read this article?

Goals can help you do, be and experience everything you want in life. Instead of just letting life happen to you, goals allow you to make your life happen.
Successful and happy people have an idea of how their life should be and they set lots of goals to help them succeed. By setting goals you are taking control of your life. It’s like having a map to show you where you want to go. Think of it this way. There are two drivers. One has a destination in mind which is laid out for her on a map. She can drive straight there without any wasted time or wrong turns. The other driver has no goal or destination or map. She starts off at the same time from the same place as the first driver, but she drives without an aim around, never getting anywhere, just using up gas and oil. Which driver do you want to be？
Winners in life set goals and follow through on them. Winners decide what they want in life and then get there by making plans and setting goals. Unsuccessful people just let life happen by accident. Goals aren’t difficult to set―and they aren’t difficult to reach. It’s up to you to find out what your goals and ideals（理想）really are.
Research tells us that when we write a goal down, we are more likely to achieve. Written goals can be reviewed regularly，and have more power. Like a contract with yourself, they are harder to neglect（忽視）or forget. Also when you write your goals in a particular way, you are able to make yourself be continuously alert（警覺）to situations that will further your goals.
小題1:The writer gave the example of two drivers to show                .
A．how stupid the first driver wasB．the importance of having a map and right direction
C．how stupid the second driver wasD．the importance of setting goals
小題2:According to the passage, successful people are different from unsuccessful ones because   .
A．the successful people set goals for everything and can get help from others
B．the unsuccessful people always set unrealistic plans for themselves
C．the successful people set goals in their lives and make plans to carry it out
D．the unsuccessful people make plans for everything but can not work hard
小題3:According to the passage, the most important thing in realizing one’s ideal is to      .
A．try to be realistic about one’s ability
B．let others help him or her to make his or her dream come true
C．let others understand him or her first，then work together with them
D．have a clear mind of what he or she wants in life
小題4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？
A．Goals can make you gain everything you want in life
B．Only successful people can be happy
C．If you want to succeed，you need a set long-term goals instead of short-term Goals
D．When we put our goal down on papers, we are more likely to succeed
小題5:Which is the best title for the passage?
A．Goals help you succeedB．How to succeed
C．Why we always failedD．A research on setting goals

In today's world of cell phones, mini laptops and MP3 players, most people have at least one time-telling tool with them. Since these devices are so common, is time running out for the 500-year-old watch? According to some consumers, yes. New Jersey teenager Charlie Wollman says a watch is "an extra piece of equipment with no necessary function." Many young adults agree ─ and use their cell phones to tell time. Louis Galie, a senior vice president at Timex, said that fewer young people wear watches today than five years ago. As a result, some people claim that the watch industry is at a crossroads.
However, watchmakers optimistically say that watches regain popularity when consumers reach their 20s and 30s. By then, they are willing to spend money on a quality timepiece that doesn't just keep good time. Fifty years ago, watchmakers boasted(自夸) about their products' accuracy. But in recent years, the watch industry has transformed itself into an accessory(附件，配件) business. And for many today, the image(外形) a watch communicates has become more important than the time it tells.
"Complications" ─ features that go beyond simple timekeeping ─ are an important part of a watch's image. Today's watches offer a host of features that suit almost any personality. These features include altitude trackers(追蹤器), compasses(指南針), lunar calendars, USB drives, and even devices that measure the effectiveness of golf swings!
Creativity is also a key element in today's watches. For example, Japanese watchmaker Tokyoflash makes watches that don't even look like watches. The company's popular Shinshoku model uses different color lights to tell the time. It looks more like a futuristic bracelet(手鐲) than a watch. Another Japanese watchmaker, EleeNo, makes a "handless" watch. Using a ring of circles to keep time, this watch makes an excellent conversation piece.
Whether a watch communicates fashion sense, creative flair or a love of sports, consumers want their timepieces to stand out. Nowadays, everyone has the same kind of gadget in their bags, so people want to make a statement with what's on their wrists(手腕). Will this interest in wrist fashion last? Only time will tell!
小題1:Why aren’t watches popular with young people as before?
A．Because watches cannot keep good time as cell phones, mini laptops and MP3 players.
B．Because watches are featured by the disadvantages of simple function
C．Because watches are too expensive to afford.
D．Because watches don’t have beautiful appearance as other modern time telling tools.
小題2: What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 mean?
A．Watching-making is facing a survival crisis challenge.
B．Watching-making is faced with the developing opportunity.
C．Watching-making becomes the sun rising industry.
D．Watching-making has a specific development target.
小題3: It can be implied that ____________________.
A．people will gradually lose interest in watches as they grow older
B．watchmakers hardly change the development strategy for watches
C．today’s watches are better than those in the past in quality
D．customers used to be more concerned with the quality of a watch than with its image.
小題4:The following qualities can make a watch popular EXCEPT _________.
A．multifunctionB．a(chǎn)ccuracyC．nice designD．low price
小題5:What’s the best title of the passage?
A．Watches and TeenagersB．The History of Watches
C．The Accuracy of WatchesD．Watches Tell More Than Time

Just as the world’s most respected scientific bodies have confirmed that the world is getting hotter, they have also stated that there is strong evidence that humans are driving the warming． Countless recent reports from the world’s leading scientific bodies have said the same thing． For example, a 2010 summary of climate science by the Royal Society stated that: “There is strong evidence that the warming of the Earth over the last half-century has been caused largely by human activity．”
The idea that humans could change the planet’s climate may be counter-intuitive（與直覺不符的）, but the basic science is well understood． Each year, human activity causes billions of tons of greenhouse gases to be released（釋放）into the atmosphere． As scientists have known for years, these gases hold heat that would otherwise escape to space, wrapping the planet in an invisible blanket．
Of course, the planet’s climate has always been changing thanks to “natural” factors（因素） such as changes in solar or volcanic（火山的）activity, or cycles relating the Earth’s going around the sun． According to the scientific literature, however, the warming recorded to date matches the pattern of warming we would expect from a build-up of greenhouse gas in the atmosphere – not the warming we would expect from other possible causes．
Even if scientists did discover another reasonable explanation for the warming observed so far, that would beg a difficult question． As Robert Henson puts it in The Rough Guide to Climate Change: “If some newly discovered factor can account for the climate change, then why aren’t carbon dioxide（二氧化碳）and the other greenhouse gases producing the warming that basic physics tells us they should be?”
The only way to prove with 100% certainty that humans are responsible for global warming would be to run an experiment with two identical Earths – one with human influence and one without． That obviously isn’t possible, and so most scientists are careful not to state human influence as an absolute certainty．
小題1:In most scientists’ opinion, the global warming is mainly caused by      ．
A．solar activityB．volcanic activity
C．the Earth’s going around the sunD．human activity
小題2:The text is developed by      ．
A．giving typical examplesB．following the order of space
C．a(chǎn)nalysing a theory and arguing itD．comparing and finding differences
小題3:The underline word “identical” means      ．
A．totally differentB．exactly the same
C．extremely importantD．relatively independent

Children, especially boys, tend to idealize their fathers when they are young．Every little boy wants to grow up to be just like his father, and every little girl thinks her father is the smartest man on the earth．It’s not very easy to be a good father, but it’s not that difficult either．Children will truly enjoy spending time with their fathers, not just when they are kids, but even when they are adults．
Not all children communicate well with their fathers．Communication is often left to mothers, while fathers dispense advice as and when necessary．Don’t expect all conversations to centre around the dinner table．Go to your children’s bedrooms and talk to them about school, their teachers or their friends．Remember that the conversation cannot be one-sided．When your children open up to you, you also need to open up to them．
If your children come home from school feeling upset, go up to them and ask them what is the matter．And if it is something which seems to you to be a silly reason to be upset, don’t voice your opinion．It may be silly to you, but to your children it is important enough．So don’t wave the topic away by telling them not to bother about such stupid things．Simply discussing their problems with them will help them feel better．
Don’t shy away from having discussions about your teenage children’s love lives．Generally speaking, your children are definitely not going to discuss intimate details with you．Try to let them know that you are relaxed about topics on love．Tell your children how you met your wife．It is perfectly normal for children to go through feelings for the opposite sex as they grow up, and by keeping the topic closed for discussion, you are only shutting them off from discussing their feelings with you．All they will do is turn to their friends．
小題1:To children their fathers are usually very _____．
A．kindB．greatC．seriousD．strong
小題2:From the second paragraph we can know that _____．
A．some children don’t like their fathers at all
B．talking with children around the dinner table is unnecessary

Nuclear radiation （核輻射）has a certain mystery, partly because it cannot be detected （探測）by human senses. It can’t be seen or heard, or touched or tasted, even though it may be all around us. There are other things like that. For example, radio waves are all around us but we can’t detect them or sense them without a radio receiver. Similarly, we can’t sense radioactivity without a radiation detector. But unlike common radio waves, nuclear radiation is not harmless to human beings and other living things.
At very high levels, radiation can kill an animal or human being at once by killing plenty of cells in important organs(器官). Even the lowest levels can do serious damage. There is no level of radiation that is completely safe. If the radiation does not hit anything important, the damage may not be serious. This is the case when only a few cells are hit, and when they are killed at once. Your body will replace the dead cells with healthy ones. But if the few cells are only damaged, and if they reproduce themselves, you may be in trouble. They reproduce themselves in an unusual way. They can grow into cancer. Sometimes this does not show up for many years.
This is another reason for some of the mystery about nuclear radiation. Serious damage can be done without the knowledge of the person at the time that damage has occurred. A person can be irradiated(放射治療) and feel fine, then die of cancer five, ten, or twenty years later as a result. A child can be born weak or easy to get serious illness as a result of radiation absorbed by its grandparents.
小題1:According to the passage, the danger of nuclear power lies in       .
A．nuclear mysteryB．radiation detection
C．radiation levelD．nuclear radiation
小題2:Radiation can lead to serious trouble even at the lowest level        .   
A．when it kills a few cells
B．because the killed cells can’t be replaced
C．if it damages a few cells
D．unless the damaged cells can reproduce themselves
小題3:What does the author want to tell us?
A．Radiation can hurt us.B．Radiation is a subject scientists work on.
C．Radiation is a mystery.D．Radiation is the source of cancer.

Googlefight is a simple service available on the Internet which offers you the chance to compare two different items and see how many hits they get on the Google search engine. The seemingly simple device has proved invaluable to users, especially to help win arguments.
For example, imagine that you and your friends are arguing about who are the most popular music or movie stars, you can decide the argument by writing the names in the Googlefight boxes. Let’s say that you are arguing about Jackie Chan and Jet Li. You will quickly discover that Jet Li is mentioned 16 million times on Google pages, whereas Jackie Chan is mentioned a mere 12 million times! In this unscientific way, you can claim victory for one Star over another.
But teachers have come up with ways of using Googlefight which are much more useful from an academic point of view, particularly when it comes to studying languages. You can, for example, find out the frequency of two words with the same meaning, and deduce (推斷) from the answers which one is more common. For example, let’s take the words “buy” and “purchase”, which mean the same thing (although “buy” is only a verb and “purchase” is both a verb and a noun). It is immediately clear from Googlefight that “buy” is much more commonly used, with a massive three and a half billion hits, compared to only one billion occurrences for the more formal word.
But the real value of Googlefight to the language learner is in determining which is the more common of two phrases. For example, “raining cats and dogs” is an old-fashioned English expression about the weather. Do English speakers still use it? Or are they more likely to say “pouring down”? Googlefight suggests the latter. “Pouring down” has 898,000 Google hits, whereas “raining cats and dogs” only has 326,000.
With phrases, it’s important to remember that you need to use quote marks to make the search more accurate. For example, if you type in the similar phrases “l(fā)ook after” and “take care of “ without quote marks, the second phrase seems to be more common, but with quote marks, the result is reversed.
小題1:What is Googlefight?
A．A fight between two people on Google.
B．A way to make sure you win an argument.
C．A website showing how many hits two different things have.
D．A list of all the websites on Google.
小題2:Language teachers find it useful because _______.
A．there are a lot of words on Googlefight
B．it can tell them which of the two words with the same meaning appears more often
C．some words mean the same thing
D．common words have a billion hits
小題3:What must you remember to do if you are checking phrases by Googlefight?
A．Make sure they mean be same thing.
B．Make sure they are different.
C．Remember to put quote marks round the phrase.
D．Don’t put quote marks round the phrase.
小題4:Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Googlefight is effective to determine the more common of two phrases.
B．Googlefight is a scientific way to decide an argument.
C．Quote marks can make the search more accurate.
D．Googlefight is invaluable to help win arguments.

At one time, computers were expected largely to remove the need for paper copies of documents (文件) because they could be stored electronically. But for all the texts that are written, stored and sent electronically, a lot of them are still ending up on paper.
It is difficult to measure the quantity of paper used as a result of use of Internet-connected computers, although just about anyone who works in an office can tell you that when e-mail is introduced, the printers start working overtime. "I feel in my bones this revolution is causing more trees to be cut down," says Ted Smith of the Earth Village Organization.
Perhaps the best sign of how computer and Internet use pushes up demand for paper comes from the high-tech industry itself, which sees printing as one of its most promising new markets. Several Internet companies have been set up to help small businesses print quality documents from a computer. Earlier this week Hewlett-Packard Co. announced a plan to develop new technologies that will enable people to print even more so they can get a hard copy of a business document, a medical record or just a one-line e-mail, even if they are nowhere near a computer. As the company sees it, the more use of the Internet the greater demand for printers.
Does all this mean environmental concerns (環(huán)境問題) have been forgotten? Some activists suggest people have been led to believe that a lot of dangers to the environment have gone away. " I guess people believe that the problem is taken care of, because of recycling (回收利用) " said Kelly Quirke, director of the Rainforest Action Network in San Francisco. Yet Quirke is hopeful that high-tech may also prove helpful. He says printers that print on both sides are growing in popularity. The action group has also found acceptable paper made from materials other than wood, such as agricultural waste.
小題1: The growing demand for paper in recent years is largely due to ________.
A．the rapid development of small businesses
B．the opening up of new markets
C．the printing of high quality copies
D．the increased use of the Internet
小題2:Environmentalists believe one possible way of dealing with the paper situation is ________.
A．to encourage printing more quality documents
B．to develop new printers using recycled paper
C．to find new materials for making paper
D．to plant more fast-growing trees
小題3:Hewlett-Packard Co. has decided to develop new technologies because _______.
A．people are concerned about the environment
B．printers in many offices are working overtime
C．small companies need more hard copies
D．they see a growing market for printers
