A

Shirley is looking for work. She is nervous and feels unprepared. After being at home with her kids for fourteen years, she’s decided it’s time to work again outside her home. I know she’ll be a great colleague wherever she works but I also know she is nervous. So here are some tips:

First impressions are important as everybody says. If you like the person within the first nine minutes of your first meeting, it is likely that the sense of a ―good fit‖ will endure for a long time. Don’t buy fancy new clothes. Dress in a way that doesn’t call attention to itself. Black trousers or a black skirt and comfortable shoes are OK.

Make sure they know they can count on you to accept responsibilities. They want to be sure you’ll work on your own without being fearful or asking for permission for every little things; they want to feel confident about you. If you are not confident, fake(假装) it.

Keep your hands in your lap or on the arms of the chair. Don’t play with your hair or your fingernails or anything that shows nervousness.

If you don’t know something, don’t pretend you do, but tell them you are eager to learn it. Saying ―No, I’ve never done that‖ or ―No, I have no experience‖ won’t help your case. Instead, say ―That’s something I’ve been fascinated by but never had a chance to deal with before‖ or ―I’m a quick learner, and if somebody will give me pointers I’ll learn them.‖

There are some details. Show up early. Bring a newspaper to read while you wait. Laugh when something is funny. Send a thank-you note or e-mail immediately and make it enthusiastic. Don’t call the office to see how you did.

36. From Paragraph 1, we learn that Shirley_________ A. has never worked before. B. hasn’t worked for a long time. C. doesn’t want to work.

D. won’t be a good colleague.

37. The underlined word ―endure‖ in Paragraph 2 is similar in meaning to ―______‖ A. last B. improve C. disappear D. agree 38. What will the author disagree with? A. Making eye contact.

B. Doing something while waiting. C. Wearing attractive clothes. D. Pretending to be confident.

39. What should you do when you don’t know something in an interview? A. Pretend to know a lot about it. B. Think about it for a while.

C. Admit it and say you want to know more about it.

D. Say sorry to the interviewers and ask for the right answer. 40. After the interview, you should _______ A. express thanks soon afterwards. B. call the office to see how you did. C. wait without doing anything.

D. call the office to see how you did.

Drawing is a universal language. It was probably our first form of self-expression when we were babies: long before we start writing, we’re painting and scribbling(乱涂), both in order to make sense of the world and because we enjoy it.

In the history of human culture, too, painting and image making came before writing or even simple mathematics: 30,000 years ago compared to 5,000. Yet after we leave school most of us

never pick up a pencil again—willingly. If asked to draw something, most adults and many older children will shake their heads and say, ― Not me! I can’t draw. I’m hopeless at it.‖

When you think about it, this is very strange. Drawing involves coordinating(协调) the hand and the eye with the pencil. It’s a basic skill, no more difficult to learn than other amazing things that humans do, such as hitting a tennis ball over the net or writing our own name. there’s no special talent involved. Anybody who can learn to write can learn to draw.

So, there you are – no excuse not to get out your pencil, pencil sharpener and rubber and take part in the Big Draw, a nationwide series of free art events taking place all over Britain next October. Everyone’s welcome: all you need is a willingness to express yourself through drawing. The Big Draw, now in its fifth year, has already achieved two world records: one for the longest drawing in the world (1km) and the other for the greatest number of people drawing at the same time (7,000). This year, there will be an attempt to create a new Guinness World Record for the longest visitors’book: people will be invited to leave their name and a drawing on a three-kilometer piece of paper.

The theme this year is Inside\\Outside—People, Structure( 结构) and Spaces, and other events planned include drawing on a three-kilometer piece of paper.

The Big Draw is not about turning the nation into artists, it is about helping people to acquire this universal language of communication. Its greatest achievement next October will be to bring hundreds of thousands of people together to look, imagine, draw and have fun. 41. What is the writer’s main purpose in this text? A. To call on people to join a cultural event. B. To describe the history of drawing. C. To advise us to take drawing lessons. D. To explain how children develop.

42. When we were babies we expressed ourselves by_______. A. enjoying language B. learning to write.

C. making marks on paper. D. painting pictures of the world. 43. What can we learn about drawing from the text? A. It is the oldest human activity.

B. It came before writing or mathematics.

A. People who can’t draw. B. people who would like to try drawing. C. People who want to create a world record. D. People who don’t draw though they are adults.
