As a recent researcher discovered，the salary question can be a difficult topic to discuss if you haven't already thought through potential responses. “James” felt he had been close to being hired during several job interviews. Then the inevitable salary question came up and the hiring managers asked what James was making in his current position. He told the truth and, in both cases, the hiring managers responded that James' current salary was more than what the position would pay.

“What's the best way to respond to the question of how much you are making in your current position？” James asked me. “I let both hiring managers know I'm flexible with salary, but it seemed like once they heard what I'm currently making, they switched_me_off and didn't consider me as a viable(能成功的，可获胜的)candidate anymore.”

For job seekers，I tend to think of the salary question in terms of a poker game with the goal being to get the hiring manager(or HR)to lay down their poker cards on the table first. That's because, as James found out, once you share a specific salary number, you might just have priced yourself too high(or too low)for the position.

Here are tips to prepare for the salary question/discussion during job interviews：

Tip 1：Arm yourself with salary information.

Before you go to the job interview，spend adequate time conducting research to find out average salaries and salary ranges for similar jobs in your area, industry and geography. Websites for salary research include：salary.com, payscale.com, indeed.com, careeronestop.org, glassdoor.com, and jobsearchintelligence.com.

Tip 2：Deflect(偏离)the salary question if it's asked early in the job interview. It will do you no good to tell the hiring manager how much you currently make or a desired salary range if you haven't at least made it to the end of the interview to see if you and the hiring manager believe you're a good fit. Let her/him know you'd like to better understand the job responsibilities and requirements and how well you meet those needs before discussing the salary topic.

Tip 3：Be prepared to provide a salary range.

This can be handled in a few different ways. You could provide the salary range you've researched, as in, “Based on my research, similar positions in this industry are currently paying between $x and $y. Is this also the range for which you've budgeted for this position？” Or, you could share the salary range you desire, such as, “Based on the job requirements we discussed and my knowledge, skills and experience, I would expect the salary range of the position to be between $x and $y.”

Is E-mail Dead?

With the rise of rapid-fire messaging, the digital letter seems to be crawling toward the fate of snail mail. If your in-box is currently reporting unread messages in the hundreds or thousands, you might have a hard time believing the news：

E-mail is on the decline. The total volume of e-mail has dropped about 10 percent since 2010.

The word“e-mail” itself tells you about its origins: it was modeled on written letters. To this day, a lot of e-mail begins with a salutation. Maybe it's “Hey” instead of “Dear Casey，” but it's there. And because there was so much overhead involved with sending a letter-folding, enveloping, addressing, stamping, mailing-few bothered to send only a few words. The effort seemed to justify a longer message. Once viewed as the death of the personal human touch, e-mail has now taken over the letter's place as a form of new communication—both business and personal. But is its day in the digital sun coming to a close?

Today's instant electronic memos—such as texting and Facebook and Twitter messages are more direct, more concentrated, more efficient. They get rid of the

salutation; we already know the “to” and “from”. Many corporations are moving to messaging networks for exactly that reason: more signal, less noise. And less time.

This trend is further evidence that store-and-forward systems such as e-mail and voicemail are outdated. Instead of my leaving you a lengthy message that you pick up later, I can now send you an easily consumed message that you can read—and respond to—on the go.

The decline of e-mail corresponds neatly to the dawn of the mobile era.

Does this mean e-mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history? Was it just a transitional technology—from postal mail to the new, rapid-fire communication channels?

Not necessarily. E-mail still has certain advantages. Whereas tweets and texts feel transient—you read them, then they're gone, into an endless string—e-mail still feels like something you have, that you can file, search and return to later. It's easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications: agreements, important news, longer explanations.

So in a word，no, e-mail won't go away completely. Remember, we've been through a transition like this not so long ago: when e-mail was on the rise, people said that postal mail was dead. That's not how it works. Postal mail found its place, and so will e-mail. Technology rarely replaces an institution completely; it just adds new avenues.

请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

A boy found an eagle's egg and he put it in the nest of a hen. The eagle hatched and thought he was a chicken. He grew up doing what chickens do—scratching for food and flying short distances. It was a dull life. Gradually the eagle grew older and bitter. One day he and his chicken friends saw a beautiful bird soaring on the currents of air, high above the mountains.

“Oh, I wish I could fly like that！” said the eagle. The chicken replied, “Don't give it another thought. That's the mighty eagle, the king of all birds—you could never be like him！” And the eagle didn't give it another thought. He went on cackling and complaining about life. He died thinking he was a chicken.

My friends, you too were born an eagle. The Creator intended you to be an eagle, so don't listen to the chickens!
