The 28-year-old had spent six years working nights while she gained her univ
ersity degree during the day. When she finally graduated she had her eye on a teaching1lat a nearby primary school. With the help of her friends, she had an interview with the Head.
“I noticed a tiny hole in one of my stockings earlier,” she2. “I thought about changing them, but I knew I’d be late if I did. And by the time I got to the interview,3enormous. I walked in apologizing for not4.”The would-be teacher didn’t get the job. In fact one of her friends told her that the5only comment was:“If someone doesn't take the time to present her best6at an interview,what kind of7is she going to be?”
First impressions are8ones. In other words, if you're viewed positively within the critical(關(guān)鍵的)first four minutes, the person you've met will9assume everything you do is positive. Leave the interviewer a bad impression, and often he will assume you have a lot of other unsatisfactory characters. Worse, he or she may not take the time to give you a second10. Most employers believe that those who look as if they care about themselves will care more about their jobs.

His eyes nearly in tears from the crush of fellow travelers at Guangzhou's train station, Hong Tao said things were much better on Sunday, after days of waiting for a train to his home in Hubei province.

"I think it's fine today, and everything is going smoothly," the 28-year-old said. "I thought it would be really crowded but it has turned out to be OK."

Chinese authorities say they expect 1.3 million people to travel out of Guangzhou's train station over the next few days, as they rush to get home by Wednesday, the eve of Lunar New Year.

Hong's optimism may have been helped by the blue skies that emerged over Guangzhou on Sunday for the first time in a week.

Last week, a rare winter storm paralyzed China's transportation system as millions tried to get home to celebrate the holiday — the only chance for many migrant workers to see their families all year.

China's state-run Xinhua news agency said Friday that 95 percent of rail traffic had "returned to normal." But Guangzhou's train station remained packed with a backlog of hundreds of thousands of travelers hoping to get home for the holiday.

A young woman was stepped on in a stampede (人群蜂擁) at the train station Friday, and later died of her injuries, according to Xinhua. Video of the situation on Friday showed crowds of people screaming, elbowing each other, in some cases sobbing and collapsing in the rush to get a slot (狹縫,窄孔) on a train.

China Sunday announced it has organized over 300,000 People's Liberation Army forces to southern China in what it described as a "war on winter weather".

The government also announced a $700 million plan to help farmers whose crops have been destroyed.

6. How many days is it from the day this article was made to the Lunar New Year?

A. Two days.         B. Three days.               C. Four days.         D. Five days.

7. What can we know about the weather condition of last week in Guangzhou?

A. Sunny with blue sky.               B. Rainy for a whole week.

C. Heavily snowy.                       D. Rainy first and snowy now.

8. Why are there so many passengers in Guangzhou’s train station?

A. Because the heavy snow stopped the passengers from leaving the station.

B. Because the passengers didn’t hope to leave the station right now.

C. Because the passengers hoped to leave for their hometown.

D. Because the holiday was coming near.

9. Where is Hong Tao from?

A. Shandong province.                B. Hubei province.

C. Guandong province.                      D. Not mentioned.

10. What can we infer from the passage?

A. On Friday, a young man was dead because of crowds’ elbowing, screaming.

B. China’s Government have arranged the PLA forces to help.

C. The government of China have offered money to help farmers enjoy the new year.

D. Many crops have been destroyed by the crowds of people.

He was no scholar, and his classmates teased him.Rather than reading, the kid really preferred running around with an 8mm camera, shooting homemade movies of wrecks of his Lionel train set(which he showed to friends for a small fee)

In his second year of high school he dropped out.But when his parents persuaded him to return, he was mistakenly placed in a learning-disabled class, he lasted one month.Only when his family moved to another town did he land in a more suitable high school where he graduated eventually.

After being denied entrance into a traditional filmmaking school, Steven Spielberg enrolled  in English at California State University at Long Beach .Then in 1965 he recalls ,in one of those casual moments, his life took a complete turn.Visiting Universal Studios ,  he met Chuck Silvers, an executive in the editorial department.Silvers liked the kid who made 8mm films and invited him back sometime to visit.
