Good friendship has many benefits. It offers companionship（陪伴）, improves self-worth and promotes good health. There are times in our lives such as when we have recently moved into a new town, or changed our jobs or schools. Such changes often leave us without a friend. _1_ But for many of us the process is difficult and requires courage.

What follows is a list of some of these untruths and some tips to help you do your best at your next interview. Myth 1: The aim of interviewing is to obtain a job offer Only half true. The real aim of an interview is to get the job you want. That often means refusing job offers you dont want! _1_ Myth 2: Always please the interviewer Not true. Try to please yourself. Of course, dont be hostile（敌对的）. Nobody wants to hire the disagreeable. _2_ Myth 3: Try to control the interview Nobody “controls” an interview. When someone tries to control us, we resent it. _3_. Remember you cant control what an employer thinks of you, just as he cant control what you think of him. Be ready to give and take when being interviewed. _4_ Myth 4: Never interrupt the interviewer Study the style of an effective conversationalist: they interrupt and are interrupted. An exciting conversation always makes us feel free-free to interrupt, to disagree, to agree enthusiastically（热情地）. _5_Try being yourself for a change.

Do you have the right materials ready?_2_2. Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? _3_ it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal.3. _4_ This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.Hopefully that gives you a good start. _5_ and dont let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!A.
