Marketing yourself is when there is a demand for you and your services that will help you achieve your goals. Though when people talk about marketing, they usually think that this is about producing a sale. But, it does not necessarily have to be.If you are an employee then you want your boss to take your ideas, and if you are on a job hunting then you want to find a good position. So in reality, marketing really leads to sale. Therefore, marketing yourself means you are simply “selling” yourself! The common problem in marketing yourself is that most people think that it is unpleasant to market themselves. They think that marketing concerns only to a business. Of course, this is absolutely not true. People who want to attain the success they desire must promote themselves. Marketing yourself is a useful tool. The better you market yourself, the more opportunities you will have. Marketing yourself does not really mean telling every person how beautiful and wonderful you are. It means letting your prospective employer know that you exist or you can do something better. There are actually several different ways of marketing yourself. But there are only two primary approaches that you carry out. The first is to find ways to reach out to others and the second is to construct ways in order for the people to find you and make connection with you.To reach out and touch the lives of others, you have to be a good person and a good employee. In that way your good reputation will follow naturally. Have a brief and concise message that you can share with others. When you market yourself, you tell people who you are and what you can do for others. Plan well and practice your message. In constructing ways for the people to notice and make connection with you, you must be open to them. Communication is a great opportunity to make an impact especially when you market yourself. You also communicate by what you are wearing. Know the appropriate dress code and have plenty of time to decide what you will wear. Just remember to make a great first impression!41. What is the main idea of the passage? A. the reasons for marketing yourself. B. the subject of marketing yourself. C. the Ways of marketing yourself. D. the uses of Marketing yourself.42.

As he rounded the bend, he saw a pair of headlights coming toward him. They drew level, and stopped. A small man with yellow eyes emerged from the darkness behind the lights, and enquired if Faffenburger would like a lift. Where are you going ? asked my friend.

If this is true, how come the current generation of TV-addicted kids is much smarter than we are? In my home, the only people who can work the remote control are the children. Perhaps TV does educate you. For example, you learn a useful medical fact: A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies. “The killer was” (dies) But I guess the biggest things we learn from TV can be regarded as “Life Skills”. Bad things only happen on dark and stormy nights. Emotional breakdowns cause people to wander in the heavy rain without umbrellas. And contrary to what scientists say, the crack(霹雳) of lightning and the accompanying flash happen at exactly the same time, wherever you are. Ive even acquired useful geographical facts from science-fiction shows: Aliens speak English no matter which planet they come from. Making use of what we learn from TV can improve our security. Consider these truths. If you are ever attacked by 2 0 bad guys, dont worry about being outnumbered. The criminals will hang back and take turns to approach you in ones and twos just so you can conveniently defeat them all. Bad guys who are completely covered in black clothes always remove their black masks to reveal that they are in fact, aha, women. TV also teaches us important information about escaping from danger. Watch and learn. (1) If anyone is running after you down a passage, you will find that boxes have been conveniently placed near all the walls you need to jump over. (2) If you are tall and handsome, you can run from any number of armed criminals, and every shot will miss you. Be warned, however. If your name card says “henchman” (帮凶) and you are part of a group of plain-looking people trying to catch a handsome individual, a single shot will kill you. But dont be anxious: TV also delivers useful information for bad guys. All cars are inflammable (易燃的) and have amazing shock absorbers that enable them to fly into the air and land without damage except police cars. TV even teaches us about TV. Whenever anyone turns on a TV, it shows a news flash about someone they know. They then turn the box off immediately after that news item.50. By saying “A person who has been shot always has time to speak an incomplete sentence before he dies” (Paragraph 2), the writer shows his_. A. humor B. sympathy C. deep concern D. medical knowledge 51. We can learn from Paragraph 3 that in the real world_. A. bad things cause people to break down in the rain B. bad things never happen on dark and stormy nights C. people with emotional problems like to walk in the rain without umbrellas D. the crack of lightning and the accompanying flash dont happen at the same time52. On TV what usually happens when a person turns it on? A. The news shown is always about someone the person knows. B. The person always turns off the TV when its time for news. C. The program shown is always about the importance of TV. D. TV always shows news about famous people.53. Whats the main idea of this passage? A. Life skills can be learned from TV. B. TV plays an important role in society. C. Watching TV makes people more creative. D. What happens in TV is very different from reality.54. The writer of this passage takes a(n) _ attitude towards TV plays. A. positi
