the job. most people spend more time getting ready for an evening out than they do 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 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.【小题1】this article is about _.a. how to get a job interview b. how to communicate at work c. how to prepare for a job interview. d. how to interview people【小题2】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 experience【小题3】 you should prepare

skiing, as well as a number of other activities that those of us who are sighted have yet to learn. she also speaks to groups about living life fully. when speaking to a group of high school students, she was once asked if there was anything she wouldnt try. “ive decided to never sky dive,” she answered. “it would scare the heck out of my dog.”why do some people rise above their problems and live life fully, while others become defeated? merle shain explains it this way: “there are only two ways to approach life,” shain says, “as a victim or as a gallant fighter. and you must decide if you want to act or to reactwhen discouraged, a victim reacts, perhaps in pain or self-pity. but a fighter will act. a fighter will make a decision to change that set of circumstances that left her or him discouraged. or a fighter will decide to accept those circumstances with grace and move ahead anyway. a fighter will decide to act with courage. a fighter will take responsibility for his or her happiness. no matter how afraid, a fighter will refuse to give in to the most defeating of all human emotions-helplessness. a victim reacts. a fighter acts. its your decision. its a decision about whether you will live your life fully and with courage, or whether you will be forever defeated by harsh circumstances. make it well, for it may be one of the most important decisions you ever make.will you be a victim or a gallant fighter?【小题1】the best title for this article would be _.a. gretchen alexanders life b. merle shains attitude to life c. victims and fighters d. the way of

life.to start with, the park boasts the atoll reef, one of the worlds largest aquariums, with about 2,500 fish from nearly 300 different species. what makes this aquarium special, however, is not just

jellyfish of all shapes, colours and sizes. and at the parks dolphin university, visitors can go on educational tours and watch the training of dolphins up close.the parks most popular attraction is the ocean theatre, a huge outdoor pool where dolphins and sea lions entertain the visitors. sometimes a killer whale even takes part in the performance!although ocean parks focus is on the water, the theme park has plenty of other activities, too. for people seeking excitement, there are rides like the abyss turbo drop, a roller coaster ride that takes passengers on a 20-storey drop straight down. there are also exhibits like the dinosaur discovery trail and bird paradise. finally, no trip to ocean park would be complete without visiting the parks most popular animals-four giant pandas that were given as a gift from chinas central government.【小题1】why is hong kong ocean park called an educational theme park?a. it is specially designed to attract the young who are interested in the sea. b.
