15、enous (静脉注射的 )drugs. It also can be passed in blood or fluids made from blood or from a pregnant ( 怀孕的 )woman with AIDS to her developing baby.Many stories about the spread of AIDS are false. You cannot get AIDS by working or attending school with someone who has the disease. You cannot get it by dr

16、inking glasses or other objects used by such persons. Officials say no one has caught AIDS by living with, caring for or touching an AIDS patient.There are several warning signs of being infected with AIDS. They include always feeling tired, unexplained ( 无法解释的 ) weight loss and uncontrolled expulsi

17、on ( 排泄 ) of body wastes. Other warning signs are the appearance of white areas on the mouth, dark red areas of skin that do not go away and a higher than normal body temperature.However, just because you have one or more of these conditions does not mean you have AIDS. Always go to a doctor or heal

18、th center for a complete examination. The doctor may give you an AIDS blood test.When a virus enters the body, the body's defenses against disease produce antibodies ( 抗体 ) to fight the virus. The test shows if the body has produced antibodies to the AIDS virus. Results of the test are known aft

19、er a few hours. The test tells only if your body has produced AIDS antibodies. It cannot tell if you have AIDS or if you will ever get the disease. In December (1988), the United States government approved ( 批准 ) a simpler and faster AIDS blood test. The newer test can confirm ( 证实 ) the presence (出

20、现 ) of the AIDS antibodies in about five minutes.21.

24、veral standard myths about interviewing before starting to look for a job. What follows is a list for some of these untruths and some tips to help you do your best at your next interview.Myth 1: The aim of interview is to obtain a job offerOnly half true. The real aim of an interview is to obtain th

25、e job-want. That often means rejecting job offers you don twant! Inexperienced job-seekers, however, become so agreeable that they often easily qualify for jobs they don twant. So, before you say “yes”to an employer, be sure you want the job.Myth 2: Always please the interviewerNot true. Try to plea

26、se yourself. Giving answers that you think will suit a potential employer, losing touch with your own feeling and, in general, practicing and abject policy of appeasement are certain to get you nowhere. Of course, don tbe hostile. Nobody wants to hire someone第5页共14页disagreeable. But there is plainly

27、 a middle ground between being too pleasing and being hostile. An effective interview (whether you are offered the job or not) is like an exciting conversation with your seatmate on an airplane.Myth 3: Never interrupt the interviewerNo use. Study the style of effective conversationalists: They inter

28、rupt and are interrupted! An exciting conversation always makes us feel free free to interrupt, to disagree, to agree enthusiastically. We feel comfortable with people who allow us to be natural. So, when interviewing, half the responsibility lies with you. Try being yourself. Employers will either

29、likeor dislike you, but at least you ll have to make any impression. Leaving an employer indifferent is the worst impression you make. And the way to make an effective impression is to feel free to be yourself, which frees you interviewers to be themselves!Myth 4 : Don tdisagree with the interviewer

30、Another silly myth. If you don tdisagree at times, you become, in effect, a “yes”man or woman. Don tbe afraid to disagree with your interviewer in an agreeable way. And don t hesitate to change your mind. The worst that could happen would be that the interviewer thinks, “Theres a person with an open

31、 mind! ”The common saying is “be yourself,”true enough. But how many people who can be themselves don tagree to disagree?26. The purpose of this article is.A. to help job-seekers to obtain job offersB. to give job-seekers some advice on interviewsC. to introduce several standard myths about intervie

32、wingD. to help interviewers do their best at their next interview27.

35、sagree with othersText 3The basic flag of the United States is one of the world s oldest national flags.

38、n, Vermont and Kentucky.By 1817, there were 20 states in the Union, and it became apparent that adding one stripe for each new state would destroy the shape of the flag. As a result, Congress in 1818 restored the original design of 13 stripes and provided that each state was to be represented by one

39、 star. In 1912 president William H. Taft made the first official provision for the arrangement of the stars.He ordered that there be six even rows of eight stars each.

However in recent years researchers have discovered that there is a system to them almost consistent and understandable as language.One important kind of body language i

47、s eye behavior. Americans are careful about how andwhen we meet one another s eyes. In our normal conversation, each eye contact last only about asecond before one or both of us look away.
