Does the idea of going to a job interview<br /> make you feel a little nervous? Many people find that it is the hardest part of the employing<br /> process. But it is not really true. The more you prepare and practice, the more comfortable you<br /> will feel. You should find out as much as possible about the company before you go to the<br /> interview. Understand the products that they produce and the services that they provide. It is<br /> also good to know who the customers are and who the major competitors are. Practice makes<br /> perfect. It will also make you feel more confident and relaxed. So, practice your answers to<br /> common questions. Make a list of questions to ask, too. Almost all interviewers will ask if you<br /> have questions. This is a great opportunity for you to show your keenness, enthusiasm, and<br /> knowledge.<br /> Make a great impression. The interview is your chance to show that you are the best person<br /> for the job. Your application or resume has already exhibited that you are qualified.

He/she will be<br /> looking for a number of different qualities, in addition to the skills that you possess. To make<br /> the best impression, dress appropriately; express your strengths; arrive early, by about 10-15<br /> minutes; be enthusiastic; shake hands firmly; be an active listener; sit up straight and maintain<br /> eye contact; and ask questions<br /> After the interview, follow up with a thank-you note. This is a chance for you to restate<br /> your interest and how you can benefit the company. Your best bet is to try to time it so that the<br /> note gets there before the hiring: decision is made. You should also follow up with a phone call<br /> if you do not hear back from the employer within the specified time.<br /> Question 36: The pronoun it refers to ________.<br /> A. the job<br /> B. the interview<br /> C. the interviewer D. the preparation<br /> Question 37: What does the writer advise you to practice?<br /> A.

He played for the<br /> New York Yankees in their years of glory. From the time Mantle began to play professionally<br /> in 1951 to his last year in 1968, baseball was the most popular game in the United States. For<br /> many people, Mantle symbolized the hope, prosperity, and confidence of America at that time.<br /> Mantle was a fast and powerful player, a “switch-hitter” who could bat both righthanded and left-handed. He won game after game, one World Series championship after<br /> another, for his team. He was a wonderful athlete, but this alone cannot explain America’s<br /> fascination with him.<br /> Perhaps it was because he was a handsome, red-haired country boy, the son of a poor<br /> miner from Oklahoma. His career, from the lead mines of the West to the heights of success<br /> and fame, was a fairy-tale version of the American dream. Or perhaps it was because America<br /> always loves a “natural”: a person who wins without seeming to try, whose talent appears to<br /> come from an inner grace. That was Mickey Mantle.<br /> But like many celebrities, Mickey Mantle had a private life that was full of problems. He<br /> played without complaint despite constant pain from injuries. He lived to fulfill his father’s<br /> dreams and drank to forget his father’s early death.<br /> It was a terrible addiction that finally destroyed his body. It gave him cirrhosis of the<br /> liver and accelerated the advance of liver cancer. Even when Mickey Mantle had turned away<br /> from his old life and warned young people not to follow his example, the destructive process<br /> could not be stopped. Despite a liver transplant operation that had all those who loved and<br /> admired him hoping for a recovery, Mickey Mantle died of cancer at the age of 63.<br /> Question 43: What is the main idea of the passage?<br /> A. Mickey Mantle’s success and private life full of problems<br /> B. Mickey Mantle as the greatest baseball player of all time<br /> C. Mickey Mantle and the history of baseball D. Mickey Mantle and his career as a<br /> baseball player<br /> Question 44: It can be inferred from paragraph 1 that Mantle ______.<br /> A. introduced baseball into the US<br /> B. earned a lot of money from baseball<br /> C. had to try hard to be a professional player<br /> D. played for New York Yankees all his life<br /> Question 45: According to the passage, Mantle could ______.<br /> A. bat better with his left hand than with his right hand<br /> B. hit with the bat on either side of his body<br /> 5<br /> <br />
