EXERCISES Section A Pre-reading activities 1. 1 T 2 F 3 T 4 F 5 F 2 1 Jack’s problem is solved by a carpenter. He told Jack to cut the legs off the bed. And then Jack was certain that nobody was sleeping under it when he got into bed. 2 The answer is open-ended. For example, you might have the fear of darkness, the fear of heights, the fear of snakes or spiders, the fear of flying, etc. Some suggestions on how to overcome fears are listed below for reference. First, you analyzed your fear and had a clear picture of what your fear was. Then you took control of your fear. You decided to expose yourself to that fear in small doses doses until until until you you you gained gained gained a a a better better better understanding understanding understanding of of of it. it. it. As As As a a a result, result, result, your your your fear fear fear began began began to to to disappear. disappear. Finally, you successfully changed the way you thought about your fear. You started seeing fear as a source of energy and embraced its role in your life. Scripts: Jack went to a doctor. “Doctor,” he said, “I’ve got trouble. Every time I lie in bed, I think there’s somebody under it. I get under the bed; then I think there’s somebody on top of it. Top, under, top, under. You’ve got to help me! It almost drives me mad!”“Just put yourself in my hands for two years,” said the doctor. “Come to me three times a week, and I’ll cure your fears.”“How much do you charge?”“A hundred dollars a visit.”“I’ll think about it,” said Jack.Six months later the doctor met Jack by chance. “Why didn’t you ever come to see me again?” asked the doctor.“For a hundred bucks a visit? A carpenter cured me for 10 dollars.”“Is that so? How?”“He told me to cut the legs off the bed!”Reading comprehension Understanding the text 1 1 Because when he once hopped from the highest diving board at the pool, he hit the water with an incredible impact and blacked out. 2 No, t hey couldn’t. Because with the water’s tow, they’dthey couldn’t. Because with the water’s tow, they’d never get to the drowning boy. 3 Because nobody except Jason saw that going out onto the jetty, which was close to the boy, was the fastest way to reach the drowning boy. 4 Because his fear of water suddenly struck him. 5 He felt like he was back in that pool, breathless, struggling, terrified. 6 The boy popped back up, eyes wide with terror, pawing and twisting against Jason. 7 No, it wasn’t. At first when Jason swam against the rip current, it was for cibly dragging them out to the sea. Then he decided to swim sideways to the pull of the current and slowly made their way back to shore. Finally he made his way back to safety. 8 8 Because Because Because Jason Jason Jason had had had already already already conquered conquered conquered his his his inner inner inner fear fear fear of of of water water water and and and he he he also also also felt felt felt relieved relieved relieved and and delighted when he saw the boy was hugged tightly by his mother. Critical thinking 2 1 To overcome the inner fear of water, we need to: • conquer ourselves with courage by helping others, step up and face our fear; • practice controlled breathing and alternately tense and relax muscle groups to bring into physical awareness the differences between being tense and being relaxed; • make the victim stop struggling. In this way he / she can be pulled to safety. 2 The fears may come from: • our own past experience; • ther people’s fears we witness;• someone’s description about their fears;• influence of specific cultural and historical context. 3 To get a guy to ask a girl out, try giving him some pointers and ideas on how to approach the situation with confidence: • Tell the guy to ask a girl on a casual date and see where it goes from there. Explain to him that asking a girl out face-to-face can be most appropriate, as it will show her how serious he is. However, if he thinks that is too daring, then suggest sending her a text message or calling her on the phone. • encourage the guy to be assertive and not beat around the bush. Confidence is admirable, and a girl is more likely to be attracted to a man with confidence. If he is asking the girl in person, he should speak as though he knew she would say yes. Tell him not to hesitate and to get straight to the point. • suggest that the guy give the girl some choices as to where to go on a date. If he is unsure of what activities or restaurants she enjoys most, this is a great opportunity for him to learn more about her and show her that he cares about her. 4 Obsessive fear leads to anxiety, panic attacks and a variety of psychological problems. We all know what it’s like to feel overwhelmed by fea r, but fear, as it turns out, is a fundamental part of our lives, and has some positive effects on our lives: • Fear increases and enhances our sensory awareness of the environment, so that we can be prepared to protect ourselves from anything potentially threatening or harmful. • Fear is an invitation to act. Fear is there to warn us that we need to get ready for the future. It isn’t there to stop us; it’s there to tell us that we are about to grow.• Fear pushes us beyond our limits. Fear motivates us. It drives us to find new resources and options within ourselves. Fear compels us to make extra efforts to succeed and achieve what we desire. • Fear Fear is is is necessary necessary necessary in in in developing developing developing our our our courage. courage. courage. We We We can’t can’t can’t experience experience experience courage courage courage without without without the the presence of fear. They go hand in hand. They need one another in order to exist – like darkness and light, or black and white. Language focus Words in use 3 1 intervene 2 underestimate 3 recede 4 deem 5 bleak 6 appraise 7 paralyzed 8 symptoms 9 dismay 10 brink Word building 4 Words learned New words formed -ance dominate dominance avoid avoidance rely reliance acquaint acquaintance clear clearance annoy annoyance admit admittance resemble resemblance assure assurance -ed bore bored privilege privileged distract distracted 5 1 bored 2 privileged 3 assurance 4 dominance 5 avoidance 6 acquaintance 7 reliance 8 clearance 9 distracted 10 annoyance 11 admittance 12 resemblance Banked cloze 6 1 K 2 D 3 H 4 J 5 I 6 O 7 G 8 A 9 N 10 C Expressions in use 7 1 pulled to a stop 2 black out 3 pop up 4 stopped short 5 plowed through 6 threw himself into 7 let yourself go 8 grabbed for Structure analysis and writing Structured writing 8 A young and successful executive was traveling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared. Instead, a brick smashed into the car’s side door! He slammed on the brakes and drove the Jag back to the spot then jumped out of the car, grabbed the where the brick had been thrown. The angry executive nearest kid and pushed him up against a parked car, shouting, “What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing? That’s a new car and that brick you threw is going to cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?”The young boy was apologetic. “Please mister ... please, I’m sorry ... I didn’t know what else to do,” he pleaded. “I threw the brick because no one else would stop ...”With tears dripping down his face and off his chin, the boy pointed to a spot just around a parked car. “It’s my brother,” he said. “He rolled off the curb and fell out of the wheelchair, and I can’t lift him up.” Now sobbing, the boy asked the stunned executive, “Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He’s hurt and he’s too heavy for me.”Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He He hurriedly hurriedly hurriedly lifted lifted lifted the the the handicapped handicapped handicapped boy boy boy back back back into into into the the the wheelchair, wheelchair, wheelchair, then then then took took took out out out his his his fancy fancy handkerchief handkerchief and and and gently gently gently cleaned cleaned cleaned the the the boy’s boy’s fresh

From the tone of his voice and theexpression on his face, it's obvious he's enjoying this moment. He says,"Honey, I've got a surprise for you. I know we've been married for 20 years, but I want a divorce."The wife says nothing, but slowly increases the speed to 70 mph.He then says,"I don't want you to try to talk me out of it because I don'tlove you any more."Again the wife stays quiet, but speeds up as her rage increases. "I want the house," he insists, pressing his luck.The wife speeds up to 80 mph.He says, "I want the car, too," but she just drives faster and faster.

They have to learn the art of blending. A happy remarriage is possible with preparation, patience and prayer. Here are some tips for you.Firstly,slow down. Do not rush your children into trying to like someone.A person you're dating should not even be introduced to your children unless you are sure he or she can get along well with your kids.Your children won't understand the concept of"we're just friends",so they will see every date as a potential replacement for mom or dad.Secondly, you should seek advice. Talk to your close friends or apsychiatrist. After listening to their advice, you may see some newlight and act in a more sensible way.Thirdly,you should expect difficulties.Understand that your children have the dream of reuniting their original family. They must be sad about their losses.Surprisingly,older children need even more time to overcome their sadness than younger children.Just as it takes time to heal,it also takes time to build and rebuild relationships. Although you'd expect that mostreadjustments would need to be made by the stepparent,the biological parent has adjustments of his or her own, including issues of authority within the new household as well as communication with the other parent.Finally,proceed with caution.Although it is not impossible to have a happy and satisfying stepfamily,you should know that there will be some difficult days ahead. Don't impose friendship on the kids who are not yet ready toaccept it.。

That suggests to me divorce can't be a very painful process.W:It's like having an arm or a leg removed. You live on, but you can't forget you've lost something.Q:What does the woman imply?In a powerful new Mercedes a married couple are driving along a highway at 60 miles per hour, the wife behind the wheel.Her husband suddenly looks over at her. From the tone of his voice and the expression on his face, it's obvious he's enjoying this moment. He says, "Honey, I've got a surprise for you. I know we've been married for 20 years, but I want a divorce."The wife says nothing, but slowly increases the speed to 70 mph.He then says, "I don't want you to try to talk me out of it because I don't love you any more."Again the wife stays quiet, but speeds up as her rage increases."I want the house," he insists, pressing his luck.The wife speeds up to 80 mph.He says, "I want the car, too," but she just drives faster and faster.By now she's up to 90 mph."All right," the man says, "I want the bank accounts, and all the creditcards, too."The wife slowly starts to veer toward a bridge.This makes him a bit nervous, so he says, "Isn't there anything you want?" The wife says, "No, I've got everything I need.""Oh, really," he says, "So what have you got?"Seconds before they slam into the bridge at a speed of 100 mph, the wife smiles and says, "The airbag."Some people think single parents can never remarry happily, but I disagree. They have to learn the art of blending. A happy remarriage is possible with preparation, patience and prayer. Here are some tips for you.Firstly, slow down. Do not rush your children into trying to like someone.A person you're dating should not even be introduced to your children unless you are sure he or she can get along well with your kids. Your children won't understand the concept of "we're just friends", so they will see every date as a potential replacement for mom or dad.Secondly, you should seek advice. Talk to your close friends or a psychiatrist. After listening to their advice, you may see some new light and act in a more sensible way.Thirdly, you should expect difficulties. Understand that your children have the dream of reuniting their original family. They must be sad about their losses. Surprisingly, older children need even more time to overcome their sadness than younger children. Just as it takes time to heal, it also takes time to build and rebuild relationships. Although you'd expect that most readjustments would need to be made by the stepparent, the biological parent has adjustments of his or her own, including issues of authority within the new household as well as communication with the other parent. Finally, proceed with caution. Although it is not impossible to have a happy and satisfying stepfamily, you should know that there will be some difficult days ahead. Don't impose friendship on the kids who are not yet ready toaccept it.。

James Earle Fraser said his goal was to design a coin thatwould be "truly American." In his search for symbols, he found none more distinctive than the American buffalo. Choosing to show a Native American on the other side of the coin, Fraser said the new nickel had "perfect unity of theme."Production of "Buffalo" or "Indian Head" nickels began in February 1913. A single coining press at the Philadelphia Mint (造币⼚) started turning out the nickels at the rate of 120 a minute. But after the first examples were introduced, The New York Times said they were "bad."Other critics said that the coin's "rough" surfaces would encourage counterfeiters (造假币的⼈). But the most seriouscomplaint about the nickel had to do with its inability to stand heavy use. One coin collectors' magazine predicted that the slightest wear would remove the date and the words Five Cents "beyond understanding."In 1938, the Government staged a competition for a new nickel picturing Thomas Jefferson. According to a news item of the day, the Department of Indian Affairs didn't receive a single complaint from Native Americans about the design change. Collectors didn't seem to mind either.1.In the eyes of Fraser, a __________ is the most distinctive.A. nickelB. buffaloC. Native AmericanD. unity of theme2.In the second sentence, Paragraph 2, the word "press" means________.A. publicationB. newspaperC. machineD. the act of pushing down3.The design of a buffalo was modified ________.A. because it was not able to stand heavy useB. because the words Five Cents were "beyondunderstanding"C. because the coin couldn't be pressed by the PhiladelphiaMintD. because the words were too high on the coin4.According to one collectors' magazine using a NativeAmerican and a buffalo was ________.A. a good ideaB. a bad ideaC. a perfect ideaD. a forced idea5.It seemed that the new nickel picturing Thomas Jefferson________.A. won much praise from collectorsB. caused strong protests from American IndiansC. was OK both to the collectors and American IndiansD. was praised both by the collectors and American IndiansQuestions 6 to 10 are based on the same passage or dialog. Time passed and my cards sold well. My enthusiasm for the greeting card business grew quickly. All along, I had been drawing fantasy art: monsters, dragons, castles, etc. With the birth of my first son in 1980, the content of my work went through a pretty dramatic change.Fantasy went out of the window, and I began to illustrate reality.In the spring of 1983, we, The Mary Engelbreit Greeting Card Company, took our 12 little designs to New York to exhibit them ata national card show.I remember how big the show was. I just couldn't get over it. I had no idea there were so many different card companies. And it was exciting because our 12 little cards were getting a lot of attention in that huge place!I've been told one of the reasons we had so much success at that show is because my card style was different than anything else at the market. I typically draw complicated details and use deep colors and funny or meaningful quotations.By 1985, many greeting card publishers started noticing my art, and two of them approached me with licensing contracts.I have always believed if you choose a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life. If you ask about the mystery of my success, all I can say is this: to imagine is everything!6.Before the birth of her first son, Mary Engelbreit's cardsfocused on ________.A. realityB. daily lifeC. fantasyD. dragons7.The New York show was so big that Engelbreit ________.A. couldn't walk through itB. couldn't believe itC. couldn't stay to the end of itD. couldn't understand it8.Engelbreit's cards were successful because ________.A. they were distinctive in styleB. they had a thank-you sentenceC. they had complicated detailsD. they were rich in color9.

Unit11.Banked clozeHave you ever heard people say that they tend to be more of a right-brainor left-brain thinker? From books to television programs, you have probably heardthe term mentioned numerous times, or perhaps you have even taken an online test to determine which type best describes you.Do different parts of the brain really control different bodily and mental functions? Over the years, a theory that has gained in popularity is that the right brain and the left brain are responsible f or different modes of thought and that the way in which a person thinks will depend on which side of his brain works more actively.People who rely more heavily on the right half of their brain tend to be more imaginative and spontaneous. They are interested in patterns, shapes and sizes, for the right brain is associated with a rtistic ability like singing, painting,Writing poetry, etc. Left-brain dominated people are quite opposite in the way they think. They tend to be more logical and analytical in their thinking and usually stand out in mathematics and word skills.While the different functions of the two brain parts may have been distorted and exaggerated b y popular psychology, understanding you strengths and weaknesses in certain areas can help you develop better ways to learn and study. For example, if you are usually stumped in trying to follow verbal instructions, an activity often cited as a right-brain characteristic, you can benefit from writing down directions and developing better organizational skills.2.中庸思想（Doctrine of the Mean）是儒家思想的核心内容。

Conflicts occur when their children fail to reach their expectations. But why do parents tend to expect so much from their children?The harsh reality may be one reason for the high expectations. We can see such logic behind parents' expectations: If their children can study hard, then they will be admitted to key universities, and then they will be much more competitive in job hunting after graduation.The peer pressure is also a contributing factor. Parents tend to compare their kids to other kids interms of academic performance. Parents consider it a shame if their children always lag behind other children. So it is often the case that parents spare no efforts to send their children to expensive training centers.Parents' love for their kids provides another explanation for their burning desire to see the best of their kids. Parents will be proud if their children make great achievements. But sometimes such love becomes a heavy burden on their kids.The harsh reality, peer pressure and parents' love all account for the unreasonable expectations for the kids. To set reasonable expectations for the kids is not easy, but is worth trying; after all, parents don't want the heavy pressure to crush their children.9威尼斯是意大利北部一座世界闻名的岛城：威尼斯建立于公元5世纪，在公元10世纪时成为一支重要的海上力量。

And my primary responsibilities were to maintain the company?s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources.M: And what did that experience teach you?W: I learned that communication skills are extremely important.

Now shi is being interviewed for a job. She says she once worked as an intern for a small shipping company to maintain the company?s ties with the existing customers and try to find new cargo sources. There she learned the importance of communication skills. She has realized that book knowledge is indeed necessary, b ut it is equally essential to persuade potential clients to trust her.

An American applied for the same job. Quite by coincidence, the two amplifications, and were asked to take the same test by the manager of the Human Resource Department. Upon completion of the test, both men missed only one of the questions. The manager went to Murphy and said, “Thank you for your interest, but we?ve decided to give the American the job.”Bewildered by the manager?s decision, Murphy asked, “Why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish, I shouldget the job!”The manger answered calmly, “We have made our decisions based on the correct answers, but on the question you missed.”Unconvinced and somewhat indignant, Murphy question, “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?”The manager?s maser took him by surprise, “Simple, on QuestionNo.5, the American put down ,I don?t?know?, and you put down ,Neither do I?.”Keys: FTTTFTFor Reference1.He made his decision based on the wrong answers to the one question one missed,rather than on the correct answers.2.By writing “Neither do I”, it seems that Murphy copied the American answer onthe test.Task3: A Guide to a Successful Job InterviewScriptThere are times that you will be asked a hard question during a job interview. Don?t panic, they just want to see how you handle a difficult situation. Being prepared is always the best policy. Here are some samples of questions and some advice on how to handle them properly.Why should we choose you?

It is a holiday of love and romance usually by exchanging valentines or love tokens between lovers. There are different origins regarding the festival. One legend goes that the Romans put a priest named Saint Valentine into prison for refusing to believe in the Roman gods. On February 14, Valentine was put to death not only because he was Christian, but also because he had cured the jailer's daughter of blindness. The night before he was executed he wrote her a farewell letter signed "From your Valentine". Later, February 14 became a holiday for people to show affection for their loved ones. Today, people celebrate Valentine's Day in different ways, sending greeting cards and flowers, giving chocolate or other gifts, or joining in romantic dinners. The holiday has now become popular all over the world. In China the festival is also becoming increasingly popular with young people.美洲和欧洲各国都会庆祝2月14日的情人节。

An American applied for the same job. Quite by coincidence, the two amplifications, and were asked to take the same test by the manager of the Human Resource Department. Upon completion of the test, both men missed only one of the questions. The manager went to Murphy and said, “Thank you for your interest, but we‟ve decided to give the American the job.”Bewildered by the manager‟s decision, Murphy asked, “Why would you be doing that? We both got nine questions correct. This being Ireland and me being Irish, I should get the job!”The manger answered calmly, “We have made our decisions based on the correct answers, but on the question you missed.”Unconvinced and somewhat indignant, Murphy question, “And just how would one incorrect answer be better than the other?”The manager‟s maser took him by surprise, “Simple, on QuestionNo.5, the American put down …I don‟t‟ know‟, and you put down …Neither do I‟.”Keys: FTTTFTFor Reference1.He made his decision based on the wrong answers to the one question one missed,rather than on the correct answers.2.By writing “Neither do I”, it seems that Murphy copied the American answer onthe test.Task3: A Guide to a Successful Job InterviewScriptThere are times that you will be asked a hard question during a job interview. Don‟t panic, they just want to see how you handle a difficult situation. Being prepared is always the best policy. Here are some samples of questions and some advice on how to handle them properly.Why should we choose you? To this question, you can ask yourself why you applied, what makes you suitable for this question, what the company can gain from hiring you, what you have to offer, how you would handle this jib, etc.Often they ask you to tell them about yourself. You can split your answer into two, the professional and the personal level. Both are important, and how you move from one to the other depends on what you have to say. You can give a brief summary of your life, professional and personal, with less emphasis on the early past, and more emphasis on the present and the future.When asked “What are your weakness?”, don‟t say, “I don‟t have any.” Everyone has weakness, and it takes something positive like, “I haven‟t had a lot of exposure on the on-site work, but I‟m looking forward to being more involved in dealing with customers directly and learning their needs.”Another common question is: “What are your strengths?” You should customize your answer to meet the position requirement. Keep in mind the things they asked for in the advertisement. Tell them your strengths, but also show them how they how they would apply to this job. To show how your strengths were valuable, use the “Why, where, when, how” to demonstrate and prove your strengths.1.What is the passage mainly concerned with?2.What does the speaker NOT mention as an answer to the question, “Why shouldwe choose you?”?3.What does the speaker say you should stress when introducing yourself?4.What does the speaker advice you NOT to say when asked, “What are yourweaknesses?”5.What should you say when asked about your strong points?Kes: 1C 2.C3.

The university‟s Career Office asked me to give a talk on the topic of how to prepare for job interviews. This is probably the most important aspect in securing a job. Here are some tips I believe to be useful.First, do some research are. Once you have this information, make a list of what skills or knowledge you have that would be valuable to them. You cannot sell yourself to them if you don‟t know what it is you are selling.The next thing to consider is your physical appearance. You have to dress right for job interviews. Don‟t wear anything too flashy; being neat and clean is more important than wearing the latest fashion. The aim is to look professional without overdoing it. Also, it is important that you feel comfortable. If you are not comfortable with a tie, it might be best not to wear one, unless the job requires you to dress this way. The last thing you want is to be worried about your appearance during the interview. It will only make you nervous, and you will quickly lose confidence.Mover over, you have to work out what you need to take with you: A copy of your CV, originals and copies of your qualification paper, copies of reference, samples of your work, if applicable, and anything else that they may want to see. Again, make sure everything is well organized and neatly presented. Don‟t take a pile of paperwork that you have to sift through for ten minutes to find something. That will give them the impression that you are disorganized. If you are well prepared, you‟re likely to have good luck.DiscussionSAMPLEA:After listening to the career officer‟s talk, I‟ve now realizes the importance of getting prepared for an interview.B:Quite true. First of all, we should never be late for an interview. If you‟re not punctual, they‟ll suspect that you‟ll be late for work in future.A: Before going to the interview, we had better pay attention to our dress. We must look professional without overdoing it. Careless clothes will lead them into thinking that you‟re likely to do your job carelessly.B: During the interview, it is impo rtant to look confident without being too pushy. It‟s necessary to maintain eye contact. This shows your interest in the conversation, and helps to maintain the communication between you and the interviewer.A: Many employers attach importance to the education you‟ve received. We need to highlight those courses especially valuable to the company.B: Book knowledge is not enough. We must show them we have practical experience in the field. Tell them about our internship, and emphasize the skills that are useful in the job we‟re seeking.A:How clever you are! These days many students want to tell the prospective employer that they have a good command of English and have obtained a College English Test Band 4 Certificate.B: They‟re also eager to tell interviewer about their computer skills with PowerPoint, office automation, and so on. Students from non-key universities especially need certificates to shoe they‟ve acquired those skills before they can hope to compete against students from prestigious universities.A: Character is considered an important factor in contemporary society, where teamwork is a must.B: But too many students are saying more or less the same thing. If everybody says, “I‟m warm-hearted and cooperative, get along well with my classmates, and have good team spirit,” the boss will soon get fed up.A: Perhaps we should let the work we‟ve done shoe our character.B: Right on. Participation is important. If you can show them you‟re an important official of the Student Union of the university or the department, or you‟ve organized a singing competition and won an award, obviously you‟re a good team player.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask1: The Role Memory Plays in Our LifeScriptYour resume, or CV in British English, has one mission and one mission only: to get you a job interview. Your resume is usually the first impression an employer has of you. And as “you never get a second chance to make a first impression”, you…d better get it right firs time. Here‟re some suggestions that may be of use in preparing a resume. First, use a design that demands attention. Employers don‟t have time to read through each of your job descriptions to know if you have the skills they need. The design of your resume must do it for them. Your resume should be concise, well-organized and relevant. It should emphasized the most important and relevant points about your experience, skills and education.Second, put important information first. List important information at the beginning of your job descriptions. Put statements in your resume in order of importance and relevance to the job you want. A powerful statement with exact numbers influences every statement that follows.Third, target the job. You will have more success if you adjust your resume and cover letter for the specific skills another job. In other words, you need to “re-package”yourself. In that way, an employer will see immediately that you correspond to the job description. It is not dishonest to “re-package”yourself. You are simply pressing yourself and your skills in the best light for a particular employer. This will help you to get more interviews and allow you to apply for a wider range o jobs.1.Why does the speaker say the resume is important?2.According to the passage, why should you emphasize the most important pointabout yourself?3.Where does the speaker advise putting the important information in your jobdescription?4.How many resumes would the speaker advise you to write if you applied for threejobs?5. Which of the following makes a good title for the passage?Keys: 1.C 2.A 3.A 4.C 5.BTask 2: Two Essential Factors in an InterviewScriptWhen applying for a job, especially a job you really want. It‟s not usually to feel nervous and anxious. Sometimes it‟s this anxiety, not our qualifications, that keeps us from obtaining our dream job.So you must overcome your nervousness and build up confidence. This often involvestwo factors: one mental and the other physica l. Mentally, it‟s important to prepare yourself for the interview without obsessing over it. Remember, it might be your dream job, but it won‟t be the end of the world if you don‟t get it. Tell yourself that the company would be lucky to get you; and if they choose someone else, it will be their loss. In essence, you need to build your self-confidence. Your ability to answer all questions without hesitation will certainly impress the interviewer.Now that you are mentally ready for any question that might be thrown your way, it‟s time to work on your physical presentation. No matter what position you are applying for, your physical appearance at the interview will be a big factor in the final determination.It‟s always a good idea to wear a suit; it doesn‟t have to be a designer suit, but something plain and conservative. Do not dress too informally. For example, don‟t wear a red fashionable jacket for your interview. Make sure, too, that it is clean and pressed. This may seem like common sense, but you‟d be surprised how careless some applicants are. While it‟s not necessary to visit the beauty salon before your interview, make sure that your nail are well-manicured, and your hair is styled carefully and neatly.Task3: An Interview That Upsets the BossScriptJohn was in a terrible accident at work and lost both of his ears. Since he was permanently disfigured, he settled with the company for a fairly large compensation and decided to invest the money in a small but growing telecom business. After weeks of negotiations, he bought the company. Then he realized that he knew nothing about running such a business and quickly set out to hire someone who could do that for him.So he set up three job interviewers. The first guy was great. He knew everything the company needed and was very interesting. At the end of the interview, John asked him, ”Do you notice anything different about me?”And the gentleman answered, “Why yes, I couldn‟t help notice you have no ears.” John got very upset and threw him out.The second interview was with a woman, and she was even better than the first guy. He asked her the same question, “Do you notice anything usually about me?” and the she replied, “Well, you have no ears.” Again John got furious and tossed her out.The third and the last interview was the best of all three. It was with a very young man who was fresh out of college. He was smart and handsome. And he seemed to be a better businessman than the firs two put together. John was anxious to employ him, but asked him the same question, “Do you notice anything different about me?”And to his surprise, the young man answered, “Yes, you wear contact lenses.”John was amazed, and said, “What an incredibly observant young man! How in the world did you know that?”The young man laughed and replied, “Well, it‟s pretty hard to wear glasses with no ears!”For Reference1.He lost both of his ears.2.Because he realized that he knew nothing about running the business after hebought it.3.Because the interviewee said he noticed that John had no ears, and John got upset.4.He said he noticed John wore contact lenses.5.He thought it was pretty difficult to wear glasses with no ears.News ReportA Galaxy of Film Prize WinnersScriptThe European Film Awards—First Hollywood, then Cannes, and now Pairs?The European Film Awards ceremony was held in Pairs in early December, honorin g the best in European and world films.Lars von Trier‟s Dancer in the Dark was the overall winner of the evening, receiving awards for the best European film and best actress—Bjork..The audiences was disappointed, however, as neither von Trier, Bjork, nor the Oscar-winning Italian director Roberto Benigni showed up to accept awards.Still, other prize winners did come.
