many people around the world, a subway journey means speeding from one dull station to the next，surrounded by too many uncomfortable, impatient people. but on the moscow metro, taking the subway is like walking through a national heritage site. depending on where you get off，youll receive a brief course in architectural movements and face colorful glass windows, marble(大理石)columns, gilded (鎏金的）mosaics and painted scenes from russian history. “these extraordinarily beautiful places are unlike any metro station ive ever seen， says vancouver-based photographer david burdeny.when burdeny, who himself has a masters degree in architecture, first found out about moscows metro stations, he was struck by the work of art. in all, he has photographed 20 of the most beautiful stations.burdeny had originally planned to focus on russian stations more generally, taking photos of examples in both st. petersburg and moscow.“but when i saw the stations in moscow, they just completely blew away the st. petersburg ones，he says.shooting in the subway sounds simple, but it is not without challenges. for one thing, burdeny had to figure out a way to access them between 12:30 a.m. and 5:30 a.m., when the stations were closed.in the end, he settled on arbatskaya metro station, whose vaulted (拱顶的） arches he found the most beautiful. but it also represented a challenge he was not sure he was able to overcome: conveying the hugeness of the spaces. the arbatskaya platform, for example, stretches 820 feet.“some of the arches are quite long，” he says. “when you enter them, they re just so

preparing for a job interview. there are several things you can do to have a successful job interview. here are some of them:1. know about the company where you are trying to get a job. find out what the company does and who their competitors(竞争者) are.2. know yourself. most interviewers will ask a question related to your strengths and weaknesses. before the interview, examine the job you are applying for and determine the top skills needed for that position. for instance, if you are applying for a job as a telephone operator, its more important that you have strong communication skills than that you are tidy.3. have proof. its easy to say you have good organization skills. but if you can tell the interviewer about a time you organized an event, it makes the claim much more solid.4. prepare questions to ask about the company and the job.an interview is a stressful event. when you are under pressure, it can be difficult to think straight. preparing before the interview will make it easier to give answers to those tough questions. but you cant think of every question they might ask. so relax and be confident. remember, first impressions are lasting.4. a good skill for a telephone operator to have is _. a. the ability to smile b. tidiness c. good communication skills d. proof of past experience5. which of the following is true?a. the job interview should be conducted

concludes that people are either happier or unhappier or more or less certain of themselves than they were 50 years ago. while any of these statements might be true, they are practically impossible to

9 to 17 exhibit a higher level of anxiety today than children who were treated formental illness 50 years ago.why are americas kids so stressed? the report cites two main causes: increasing physical
