A

Much has been written about body language during a job interview. Experts from across many fields are full of advice on just how to present your best performance in an interview using conscious (自觉的) body language choices. While many of these experts say there is a “secret” system for making the most of an interview, the reality is that most of them focus on a few general types of behavior that have the greatest effect during a job interview.

Entering the interview location —Your walk should be active and confident. Keep your shoulders straight, head up, and make eye contact with the people around you. Maintain (保持) an active facial expression and be confident when shaking hands and greeting people to whom you are introduced.

During the interview —Sit in a straight and attentive posture. Never let your shoulders drop or your head hang down, but rather keep your head up and make eye contact with the interviewers. Don’t play with any papers or notes you have in front of you, and don’t lean (倚靠) your arms heavily on the table. Keep your body position open and make eye contact while listening to and answering questions.

Leaving the interview location—No matter how you feel about your performance during the interview, carry yourself with confidence till you leave the interview location. Be confident when shaking hands and making eye contact as you say goodbye, and keep your body posture straight as you walk all the way to your car.

Remember, the more you make active and confident body language a part of your daily life, the more it becomes a habit that follows you wherever you go.

B

I was an introvert (性格内向的人) by nature. For as long as I remember, showing

a sincere smile when meeting someone had never been easy. When meeting people, instead of being excited, I often felt upset or self-disturbed.

But we all know having friends is important. The more friends you have, the more opportunities you get, no matter whether it’s a job opportunity, a romantic

relationship, or a business partner. So a smile is important to making others feel comfortable. Mother Teresa said, “Every time you smile at someone, it is a n action of love, a gift to that person and a beautiful thing.”

The smile I’m talking about is not to make a face to someone. I’m talking about those wide smiles you make when meeting old friends. So I’ve discovered a trick. I call this technique “Oh, it’s Jamie!” When I meet someone, I imagine him as an old friend of mine called Jamie. He was my first friend when we were still kids. It’s no secret why my smile is as wide as I can possibly make.

And the best part, whenever you’re friendly to others, they are friendly in return. You’re not hearing this from me. A research which was done early by scientists actually backs (支持) this claim. So do remember to give it a try.

5. According to the author, showing a sincere smile is ______.

A. an easy thing

B. to make a face

C. to be humorous

D. very difficult

6. From the text, we can learn that a few years ago the author ______.

A. was an easy-going young man

7. What is the key to the author’s trick?

A. Supposing someone is your old friend.

B. Making more friends when you were young.

C. Making friends with someone like Jamie.

D. Not forgetting the friends you first made.

8. The author writes the text mainly to tell readers ______.

A. how he gets success

B. to show their perfect smile

C. what a sincere smile is

D. how to make friends

C

Rainy days may ruin some cheerful plans for outdoor activities, but it doesn’t have to be boring inside. On the next rainy day, try some of these ideas for a day full of fun: Tell stories. You might tell old stories you heard when you were growing up, or you might make up some really fascinating stories just for the kids. Let them all have a turn at making up stories of their own.

Play in the kitchen. Let the kids help you cook a pizza or maybe some cookies. Give them a chance to help you in the kitchen and make something delicious. Just make sure they remember that part of cooking is cleaning up.

Write a story together.Let the kids come up with a story of their own. They might want to write stories individually and then read them aloud to others, or they might want to get together and write a story together.

Play “let’s pretend” games. Let the kids pretend to be teachers, doctors, nurses or policemen. Let them dress up in whatever you may have. Then let them play the roles. You might even volunteer to be the student or the patient.

Have a party.Let the kids pick out some music and dance around the room. Then,

let them fall all over themselves with laughter, when you show them how it was done when you were a kid.

Use these ideas to get you started, and the kids may actually start wishing for more

rainy days.

Accepting and understanding other cultures is something that everyone needs to learn. Think of the world as a giant pizza. Without all the different vegetables, cheeses and meats, all you get is a tasteless pizza crust (面包皮). But when you put them all together, you get something ve ry interesting, tasty, and good. So let’s break down the walls between cultures.

One way to help break down the walls between us is to understand that many of our ancestors may come from the same place. Do you know what cultures you are from? Are you part Irish or mostly German? Did your grandparents or great-grandparents immigrate (移民) to your country?

There is really no way to be completely sure where your first ancestors came from, but some scientists think that all people came from Africa. So how did they get all over the world? Well, back then there was a land bridge connecting Asia and North America, so they walked to Asia, Europe, and the Americas! Over time, the land bridge split up, and there was no way for people like Columbus to know that the Americas existed. Isn’t it cool thinking that maybe we’re all from the same contin ent? Even though we all came from the same place, now there are differences in the way we look depending on where our recent ancestors came from and who our parents are. If you find out where your parents and grandparents came from, you just might discover that you are from the same culture that you might be trying to avoid!

63. The author tries to prove that ______.

A. we should respect people from other cultures

B. all the continents were connected a long time ago

C. Columbus found the new continent

D. the land bridge did exist

64. The author takes a pizza for example in order to show that ______.

A. we need different materials to make a pizza

B. the differences of cultures make our world beautiful

C. people from different cultures all like eating pizza

D. a pizza will be tasteless without vegetables

65. What does the text mainly talk about？

A. How to make a pizza.

B. How to break down the walls between us.

C. How to understand and accept other cultures.

D. Where our ancestors came from.

Planning before buying something is a good idea. For example, you are going to buy a pet dog, you still have to consider a few things and plan them well before you welcome it in the house. 66 You will also have to train it well so that it does not misbehave in front of people. You should realize that it is a big responsibility.

67 Think about whether your pocket can manage the purchase, as well as different items for keeping the dog. If something goes wrong with the health of your pet, you will have to spend some extra money on it.

70 When you are bringing this best friend in your house, you must make sure everything is right for it. You should make life easier for it, as well as others who are living in your house.

Dear editor,

We have held a discussion about whether it is good or not for a top student to share a desk with a slower student.

Some are for the idea. As they know, everyone has strengths as well as weaknesses. Although they are not good at lessons, they might do well in other fields like sports or arts. Therefore, they can learn form each other and they may develop a friendship. In addition, top students can help slower ones gain self-confidence by helping them

with their lessons, which benefits them all.

However, others don’t hold the same view. They think some slower students are always making trouble, such as keeping talking in class, breaking school rules, which may lead to them forming the bad habits. Besides, slower students often ask top students questions, which has a bad effect on their studies.

In my opinion, I would like to choose to share a desk with a slower student so that we can learn from each and make progress together

Yours,

LiPing
