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 (means “get”) a job offer. Only half true. The real aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want. That often means rejecting job offers you dont want! So before you please an employer, be sure you want the job.Myth 2: Always please the interviewer Not true. Try to please yourself. Of course, dont be hostilenobody wants to hire someone disagreeable. But there is plainly a muddle(confusion)ground between being too ingratiating（逢迎）and being hostile.Myth 3: Try to control the interview Nobody “controls” an interview. When someone tries to control us, we resent（憎恨）it. When we try to control others, they resent us. Remember you cant control what an employer thinks of you, just as he cant control what you think of him. So he is ready to give and take when being interviewed; never control the interview.Myth 4: Never interrupt the interviewerStudy the style of the effective conversationalists: they interrupt and are interrupted! An exciting conversation always makes us feel freefree to interrupt, to disagree, to agree enthusiastically. Just hang loose. Try being yourself for a change. Employers will either like or dislike you, but at least youll have made an impression. Leaving an employer indifferent（冷漠的）is the worst impression you can make.45. To be your natural self in a job interview will_. A. make your interviewer angry B. please your interviewer C. leave the interviewer indifferent to you D. leave an impression on the interviewer 46. For job seekers, efforts to control the interview are likely to _. A. affect the interviewers opinion of them B. lead to the offer of a job C. enable them to express themselves fully D. help to create a favorable image of themselves47.The most important thing to keep in mind when being interviewed for a job is to _. A. try to obtain the job B. reject the job first C. see if it is a job you want D. qualify yourself for the job 48.“hang loose” in last paragraph means to _. A. become weak and passive B. stay calm and relaxed C. take charge D. sit back comfortably C The national assistance system for poor college students is getting more effective as proved by fewer phone calls to the hotline of the National Center for Student Assistance Administration. Poor college students and their parents are getting more satisfied with the national assistance system, said Ma Wenhua, deputy director of the administration, on Saturday. Over the past three years, the hotline received 8,488 calls. Statistics show 62 percent of the calls were made to ask about the funding policy, while 38 percent (3,200 calls) complained local colleges had failed to abide by the rules to support the students. Complaints were seen a year-on-year decrease from 2006 to 2008. Ma said some poor families might still overlook what they should do to get support for their child. To ensure education equality, the government has introduced a set of favorable policies to help poor students, such as scholarships, grants(助学金), student loans, tuition waivers(学费全免) and the work-study programs under which poor students are helped out in libraries, teachers offices or service departments to earn money. Statistics show the government spent 29.3 billion yuan last year to aid college students, up 7.6 percent from the previous year. Around 40 million persons of college students received the national aid. The Ministry of Education of the government would ensure that no students drop out of colleges or universities because of poverty. Among the 20 million students in the countrys public and private universities and colleges last year, about 20 percent came from poor backgrounds, official figures show.49. The national assistance system is set up _. A. for parents and students to complain B. to help poor college students C. for poor students to get free education D. to help students find jobs50. From the passage, we know that _. A. students will drop out of university because of poverty B. Chinese poor college students are more satisfied with national assistance system C. more and more parents are complaining about their local colleges D. college students are suffering from great economic pressure DNOT all memories are sweet. Some people spend all their lives trying to forget bad experiences. Violence and traffic accidents can leave people with terrible physical and emotional scars. Often they relive these experiences in nightmares.Now American researchers think they are close to developing a pill, which will help people forget bad memories. The pill is designed to be taken immediately after a frightening experience. They hope it might reduce, or possibly wipe out, the effect of painful memories.In November, experts tested a drug on people in the US and France. The drug stops the body releasing chemicals that fix memories in the brain. So far the research has suggested that only the emotional effects of memories may be reduced, not that the memories are wiped out. They are not sure to what degree peoples memories are affected. The research has caused a great deal of argument. Some think it is a bad idea, while others support it.Supporters say it could lead to pills that prevent or treat soldiers troubling memories after war.They say that there are many people who suffer from terrible memories.Some memories can ruin peoples lives. They come back to you when you dont want to have them in a daydream or nightmare. They usually come with very painful emotions, said Roger Pitman, a professor of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. This could relieve a lot of that suffering.But those who are against the research say that maybe the pills can change peoples memories and changing memories is very dangerous because memories give us our identity. They also help us all avoid the mistakes of the past.All of us can think of bad events in our lives that were terrible at the time but make us who we are. Im not sure we want to wipe those memories out, said Rebecca Dresser, a medical ethicist.51. The passage is mainly about .A. a new medical invention B. a new research on the pillC. a way of wiping out painful memories D. an argument about the research on the pill52. The drug tested on people can .A. cause the brain to fix memories B. stop people remembering bad experiencesC. prevent body producing certain chemicals D. wipe out the emotional effects of memories53. We can infer from the passage that .A. people doubt the effects of the pillsB. the pill will certainly stop peoples emotional memoriesC. taking the pill will do harm to peoples physical healthD. the pill has already been produced and used by the public in America54. Which of the following does Rebecca Dresser agree with in the last paragraph ?A. some memories can ruin peoples lives.B. people want to get rid of bad memories.C. experiencing bad events makes us different from others.D. the pill will reduce peoples sufferings from bad memories.55. You may probably read the passage in _A. a guidebook B. a textbook C. a medical magazine D. a science fiction EMost people feel lonely sometimes, but it usually only lasts between a few minutes and a few hours. This kind of loneliness is not serious. In fact, it is quite normal. For some people, though, loneliness can last for years. Now researchers say there are three different types of loneliness.The first kind of loneliness is temporary. This is the most common type. It usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind situational loneliness is a natural result of a particular situation. For example, a family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, such as headaches and sleeplessness, it usually does not last for more than a year.The third kind of loneliness is the most severe. Unlike the second type chronic（长期的）loneliness usually lasts more than two years and has no specific cause. People who experience habitual loneliness have problems socializing and becoming close to others. Unfortunately, many chronically lonely people think there is little or nothing they can do to improve their condition.Psychologists agree that one important factor in loneliness is a persons social contacts, e.g. friends, family members, co-workers, etc. We depend on various people for different reasons. For instance, our families give us emotional support, our parents and teachers give us
