請認(rèn)真閱讀下列短文,并根據(jù)所讀內(nèi)容在文章后表格的空格處填入一個最恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。

注意:每個空格只填一個單詞。

Are you interested in writing a novel? Well, if you want to be a good novelist, you’re supposed to avoid some common writing mistakes, the first one of which is not having a thunderous start.The first word, first sentence, and first page of your novel will decide if the reader wants to turn the page and keep reading.Having too much unnecessary information at the start and keeping the reader waiting for the real story can make him lose interest and give up on the book.You don’t want that to happen.All is well that “starts” well.

It’s also wrong not to have decided on an audience before writing your novel.Decide what kind of an audience your novel will cater to.Once you’re sure who will be reading it, you’ll know what style of writing you should adopt, the kind of language you will have to use.This gives you a direction and enables you to write better.

Another writing mistake is writing with your head, not with your heart.Every kind of reader should be pleased, every character should be perfect, every character should be likable, and the novel should have a happy ending.If these are your thoughts when writing a novel, you are probably not thinking straight.Writing with business or monetary gains as your aim should be discouraged as that affects what you really want to express.Write because you want to, not because you have to.

You also need to avoid writing too quickly or too slowly.If you are writing too slowly, it either means you are just too lazy or procrastinating (延遲).If you are writing too fast, you are either rushing it or are not giving yourself enough time to shape it.Neither of the two is healthy for your novel or you as a writer.Some sections might take longer than others and vice versa.Just maintain the required pace.

Using words and sentences that are neither appropriate nor rich is also a common writing mistake you should avoi

Words are all you have to make the readers feel what the character is feeling, to visualize what the protagonist (主人公) is looking at, or to imagine the coldness in the eyes of the criminal.If you confine (限制) your vocabulary to a limited set of words, you limit the experience of the reader.Anger is not the only word which can be used to express that emotion.Make use of words like fury, wrath, vengeance, rage and frenzy to express anger.Similarly, if a scene needs a dialog, don’t write a report or an essay there.Instead, spice it up by involving an animated, energized dialog.

English songs have been very popular for people around the world for many decades. Songs from Elvis Presley to Ricky Martin, from the Beatles to Eminem and from Natalie Cole to Britney Spears have all been enjoyed by people around the world, even for people who don’t speak English, and even for people who speak zero English.

From my experience, some people listen to English songs for 20-30 years but still don’t achieve any good English skills. Some people choose English songs to be their main learning method, but most of them fail.

Listening to English songs does not help you to speak English fluently. It does help you gain some vocabulary, but most of these words are unusual ones that you don’t use in everyday life. You won’t learn the sentence “It is a difficult project. We really need to meet the deadline.” in any English songs. All you will hear are love, passion, affection, hate and blue, for the feeling, not the color.

People like using English songs to practice English skills because it’s easy and enjoyable. They think that sitting in the car listening to English songs day after day will improve their English skills. It actually will not.

You will definitely not improve your listening skills because normal people don’t speak with a tune. People don’t talk like Eminem’s songs. You can’t get yourself familiar with English pronunciation or accent just from listening to English songs. The words that they pronounce in the songs are not the words that you will hear in your everyday life. They can even confuse you more about how English is pronounced.

I would fully encourage you to watch English movies and listen to radio news or other normal talks, but not music. Of course, you can consume it for fun but not with the aim of improving your English skills. Having good English skills is not that easy. Remember you should work hard to improve your English step by step.

1.According to the passage, listening to English songs can help you _____

A. improve your English grammar

B. speak English more fluently

C. gain the skills of writing

D. learn more new words

2.Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

A. Most people think it is convenient to learn English by listening to English songs.

B. It’s hard for people to improve their listening skills by listening to English songs.

C. It’s a good idea to learn to speak with an English accent by listening to English songs.

D. It’s rare to hear normal people speak English like they are singing.

3.What can we learn about the words in English songs?

A. Most of them are vivid and interesting.

B. They are seldom used in people’s everyday life.

C. English learners should learn more of them.

D. They can help people improve their pronunciation.

4. It can be inferred from the passage that the writer may be _____.

A. an experienced English learner

B. a well-known pop singer

C. a Chinese music fan

D. an American teacher

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 and manners.

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

1.It can be inferred from the passage that _____.

A. you should always put on a smile when meeting the employer

B. you should stand still with respect before the employer

D. the first impression is very important in an interview

2. Why should we pay attention to our body language?

A. Because it is needed by our employer.

B. Because it can help us feel about the employer.

C. Because it can help us win the employer's positive impression.

D. Because we need it to improve our feelings.

3. The main purpose of the passage is _____.

A. to tell right from wrong about job interviews

B. to give you some advice on the art of finding a job

C. to explain why we should do something about an interview

D. to suggest not being shy in an interview

4.Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?

Dear Sally,

It feels such a long time since last time I see you. So far my summer in Xiamen has been great! I spent all my weekends at the beach. I am getting a nice tan(黝黑) and you can not longer say I am paler than you . I’ve been playing lots of beach volleyballs, and just this passed weekend I got the first place in a match! On weekends I work in a club which I teach kids to draw. Although the pay isn’t high, but I love the job very much, because I like drawing and I love kids a lot. I hope the summer’s been going good for you too. There is only one month left in the summer vacation and after that it’s time to school. Would you like to meet up some time before school starting? I want to share with you the photos I’ve taken. I’ll give you call when I return home. See you soon!

Love,

Mary
