The impression you make at the beginning of an interview is very important. Employers often decide to hire someone in the first three minutes of the interview. They judge you by your appearance，attitude(態(tài)度)and manners.

A friendly smile when you walk into the room is important. A smile shows a confident（自信的） 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！

I was very disappointed not to be able to go to the jazz concert last Friday. The announcement in the paper said that you could buy tickets at the theater box office in Richland Hills any day between 10:00 and 4:00. Since I work from 9 o’clock to 5:30, the only time I could go to the theater was during my 45-minute lunch break. Unfortunately, the theater is on the other side of the town, and the bus service between my office and Richland Hills is not very good. But if you are lucky, you can make the round trip in 45 minutes. Last Monday, I stood at the bus stop for fifteen minutes waiting for a bus. By the time I saw one come around the corner, there was not enough time left to make the trip—so I gave up and went back to the office. The same thing happened on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday. On Thursday, my luck changed, I got on a bus right away and arrived at the theatre in exactly twenty minutes. When I got there, however, I found a long line of people at the box office. I heard one man say he had been waiting in line for over an hour. Realizing I would not have enough time to wait in line, I caught the next bus and headed back across the town. By Friday I realized my only hope was to make the trip by taxi. It was expensive, but I felt it would be worth hearing the concert. The trip by taxi only took 10 minutes, but it felt like an hour to me. When I got to the theatre, I was relieved to see that nobody was waiting in line. The reason, I quickly discovered, was that they had already sold all the tickets.

The writer is probably ______.

       A. worker                                                        B. a college teacher      

       C. manager of a company                                  D. a clerk

He learned ______ that there would be a concert last Friday.

       A. from his friends                                           B. from one of his colleagues

       C. over the radio                                              D. from the newspaper

He could go and buy the ticket ______.

       A. any day before work hours                                   B. both before and after work hours

       C. only during lunch time                                 D. on Saturday and Sunday

The word “relieved” in the last two sentences may best be replaced by “______”.

       A. surprised                  B. pleased                     C. puzzled                    D. sorry

The story is about ______.

       A. a good concert         

       B. someone enjoying a good concert

       C. someone trying to buy concert tickets for his friends

       D. someone’s disappointment at not being able to go to the concert

Women who want to succeed at work should resist the temptation to act like men, scientists have said. Studies show that ambitious women are often less likely to get ahead than those who show more female characteristics. However, if they try to adapt, promotion comes their way. The findings, which will let assertive (過(guò)分自信的) women down, suggest that the best way for a woman to succeed in a man’s world is to act like a lady.
Past research has shown that women with self-confidence and other characteristics linked with successful management can be put aside at work in favor of gentle types. It is thought that while such characteristics are highly praised in men, ambitious women are penalized for not being feminine enough. Instead of being seen as strong managers, ambitious women are in an unfavorable situation.
In one US study, researchers explored personal details from university students applying for a summer job at a bank. A women applicant who attempted to apply for special wages to pay her transport or living costs was three and a half times less likely to get a job offer than a similar male. In fact, this kind of woman was the least likely to get taken on.
The latest study set out to explore what women who are naturally assertive could do to get ahead in the workplace. Eighty young men and women completed surveys about their personality while studying in college. Around eight years later, the researchers got back in touch with them to find out how their careers were going. Some had been promoted five times, others just once or twice. The results showed that ambitious women who stick to their decisions had been promoted less than more feminine groups. But the ambitious women who made a conscious effort to not appear to be threatening by “self-controlling” their behavior had done better than those who had carried on ignoring others’ views.
【小題1】 What does the underlined word “penalized” mean in the second paragraph?

A．Treated badlyB．Asked to leave
C．Looked down uponD．Made sb. have a disadvantage
【小題2】According to the passage, if an ambitious woman and a similar man both ask the company for an extra payment, ______.
A．the woman is less likely to be accepted
B．the woman will work harder if she gets the payment
C．the man can make a good impression on the boss
D．they can be both accepted if they use proper words
【小題3】The ambitious women in the latest study ______.
A．had been promoted only once or twice
B．tried hard to be as successful as gentle types
C．were more accepted at work after they controlled their behavior
D．filled in the surveys after they graduated from college
【小題4】What can we learn from the passage?
A．Successful management is highly praised in women.
B．Some women will be disappointed by the massage.
C．Men acting like a lady are likely to be promoted at work.
D．The latest study was aimed at how to become a successful boss.
【小題5】What’s the main idea of the passage?
A．How assertive women can control their behavior.
B．Feminists can do better by controlling their behavior.
C．Acting like a man won’t get women promoted at work.
D．How the ambitious women can avoid acting like men.

三、閱讀理解（共20 小題;每小題 2分，滿(mǎn)分40分）
After giving a talk at a high school, I was asked to pay a visit to a special student. An illness had kept the boy home, but he had expressed an interest in meeting me. I was told it would mean a great deal to him, so I agreed.
During the nine-mile drive to his home, I found out something about Matthew. He had muscular dystrophy (肌肉萎縮癥). When he was born, the doctor told his parents that he would not live to five, and then they were told he would not make it to ten. Now he was thirteen. He wanted to meet me because I was a gold-medal power lifter, and I knew about overcoming obstacles（克服困難） and going for（努力實(shí)現(xiàn)） my dreams.
I spent over an hour talking to Matthew. Never once did he complain（抱怨）or ask, “Why me?” He spoke about winning and succeeding and going for his dreams. Obviously, he knew what he was talking about. He didn’t mention（提到） that his classmates had made fun of him because he was different. He just talked about his hopes for the future, and how one day he wanted to lift weights with me. When we had finished talking, I went to my briefcase（公事包） and pulled out the first gold medal I had won and put it around his neck. I told him he was more of a winner and knew more about success and overcoming obstacles than I ever would. He looked at it for a moment, then took it off and handed it back to me. He said, “You are a champion（冠軍）. You earned that medal. Someday when I get to the Olympics and win my own medal, I will show it to you.”
Last summer I received a letter from Matthew’s parents telling me that Matthew had passed away（去世）. They wanted me to have a letter he had written to me a few days before:
Dear Dick,
My mum said I should send you a thank-you letter for the picture you sent me. I also want to let you know that the doctors tell me that I don’t have long to live any more, but I still smile as much as I can.
I told you someday that I would go to the Olympics and win a gold medal, but I know now I will never get to do that. However, I know I’m a champion, and God knows that too. When I get to Heaven（天堂）, God will give me my medal and when you get there, I will show it to you. Thank you for loving me.
Your friend,
Matthew
36. The boy looked forward to meeting the author because _________.
A. he was also good at weight lifting
B. he wanted to get to the Olympics and win a medal
C. the author was handsome
D. he admired the author very much
37. The underlined sentence（劃線的句子） in the third paragraph probably means that _______.
A. the boy never complained about how unlucky he was to have this disease
B. the boy never complained about not being able to go to school
C. the boy never complained why the author had never come to see him before
D. the boy never complained about not getting a medal
38. From the passage we learn that _________.
A. Matthew was an athlete
B. Matthew was an optimistic and determined boy
C. The author used to have the same disease as Matthew had
D. Matthew became a champion before he died
39. Matthew didn’t accept the author’s medal because _________.
A. he thought it was too expensive
B. he was sure that he could win one in the future
C. he thought it was of no use to him as he would die soon
D. he would not be pitied by others
40. What would be the best title for this passage?
