.

So you have been called for an interview-well done ? Your effort has been paid off . Now to get the job , you will fell better at the interview if you show an understanding of the nature of the organization .

Ask a member of 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 you 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 (自在) 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 broad and get the feel of the place .

Being late at interviews produces a bad impression. The first impression the interviewer gets of you formed as you walk through the door , so take a couple of deep breaths .

Be ready to shake hands of 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(非語(yǔ)言的) 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 improve your prospects (前途)in the employer’s estimation(判斷). 

Asking can show knowledge and avoid mistakes 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 .

Today, we talk to an up-and-coming (有前途的) erhu player, Lee Hang, from Hong Kong. He’ll play with the Hong Kong Orchestra (管弦樂(lè)隊(duì)) next Sunday in a special concert by young Chinese musicians.

Interviewer: Thank you for talking to us, Lee. You must be very excited.

Lee: Yes, I am. This is the first time that I’ve played with such a famous orchestra and in front of so many people. They’re expecting about 4,000 people.

Interviewer: Does that scare you?

Lee: To be honest, yes. I haven’t slept much in the last few days. But my teacher told me I wouldn’t take it seriously enough if I wasn’t scared. That helped a lot.

Interviewer: Tell me about why you started playing the erhu.

Lee: My parents took me to piano and violin lessons. I quite liked them but they had to force me to go sometimes. One night, I saw a documentary about Yo Yo Ma, the famous Chinese American cello(大提琴) player. He talked about his love of Chinese instruments and we should follow our interests. I always enjoyed listening to Chinese instruments like the erhu and guzheng. That inspired me to learn the erhu. My parents were glad that I was playing something I actually liked.

Interviewer: What do your friends think of you playing a Chinese instrument?

Lee: Well, a lot of my classmates think playing things like the erhu isn’t cool. I don’t care. It makes me happy. I got a letter from Yo Yo, saying how much he admired me and that he’d like to meet me next time when he’s in Hong Kong. They thought that was pretty cool!

Interviewer: And what does the future hold for you?

Lee: I’d like to study music in a university in China then hopefully play in orchestras. My ambition is to bring the beautiful sound of the erhu to all the corners of the world.

Interviewer: Well, if anyone can, it’s you. Thanks for talking to me, Lee. Good luck.

Lee: Thanks.

Scientists have confirmed that the majority of overweight people who try to lose weight either by cutting calories or exercising will return to their former size．Fewer than 10 percent of the l2 million British people who go on a diet each year succeed in losing significant amounts of weight and most of those who do put it all back on again within a year．

    The study of 25，000 people provides further evidence of the popularity of‘yo-yo dieting’where slimmers get into a cycle of losing weight and regaining it．The scientists，from the Medical Research Council’s National Survey of Health and Development，have concluded it is better to avoid getting fat in the first place．They followed 5，362 men and women from their birth in l946 and 20，000 from birth in l958，measuring their weight and blood pressure and assessing their lifestyles．The researchers found both groups began gaining weight in the 1980s and have steadily increased in size ever since．

    Dr Rebecca Hardy，the council’s programme leader on body size，said：“0nce people become, overweight，they continue extremely upwards．They hardly ever go back down．A(印刷不清兩個(gè)單詞)  weight but very few get back to normal。The best policy is to prevent people becoming overweight．For men weight goes up steadily through life。For women it starts slowly and accelerates in the mid-thirties．”

   But the study's findings do not mean dieting is pointless，as eating less and taking more exercise can increase fitness and lower blood pressure．In 2009，a quarter of adults and l4 percent of children were obese(過(guò)度肥胖的)，according to the Department of Health’s latest Health Survey for England．Although previous research has shown one in four Britons is trying to lose weight at any one time，it has been predicted that 60 percent of us will be obese by 2050，leading to even more cases of diabetes(糖尿病)，heart disease and cancer．Experts said we are programmed to put on weight rather than lose it．Dieting can make this tendency worse as decreasing calorie intake causes the body to go into starvation mode and reduce the amount of energy it naturally expends，making it even harder to lose weight．Commenting on the study，Professor Nick Finer from London Hospital，said：“It is unlikely that man would have progressed with mechanisms to fight against obesity which has only become a problem in the last 30～40 years．For most of human history，storing fat would have been an advantage．”

 47．According to Dr Rebecca Hardy，which of the following is TRUE?

    A．It is easier for men to lose weight than women．

    B．Once people lose weight，they never put on weight again．

    C．Never to become fat is the best way of keeping a good shape．

    D．The fact that fat people keep their weight upwards is unusual．

  48．The author says “the study’s findings do not mean dieting is pointless” because    ．

    A．the study lacks believable facts

    B．obese people are confident in losing weight

    C．dieting can really make a few people lose weight

    D．dieting and sports help to keep people free from some diseases

  49．From the last paragraph，we can learn that    ．

    A．decreasing calorie intake makes it even harder to lose weight

    B．the idea that people lose weight with mechanisms is practical

    C．being overweight is a lasting problem through the human history

    D．by 2050 more and more people will have got unfit because of losing weight

  50．Which of the following can serve as the best title of the passage?

    A．Which is better：cutting calories or exercisin97

    B．Fat people can’t really keep the weight off

    C．A new study on people’s health

D．How to go on a healthy diet
