15选10 (Cloze) What is the best way to impress a prospective(1) employer when you go for an interview for a job interview? As I see it(2), the best thing is to demonstrate（=show）that you have done your homework(3) and know all about the firm (公司) beforehand(4). You should make every endeavor(5), for example, to show that you know something about the structure(6) of the company, including the different lines of products it turns out (= produce，生产)and the chief business partners(7) it is working with. Respond(8) in a spontaneous (= natural，自然的) manner and let the interviewer know that you are not frightened by new challenges, but are willing to take a crack(9) at anything. Try to look at the situationfrom the standpoint(10) of the personoffering the opportunity of the employment. What sort of qualities（品质）is he likely to be looking for? Enthusiasm, certainly. So don’t leave your application waiting until just before the deadline. Apply early. Another thingthat can make a difference (11) is to follow up(12) your interview with a letterexpressing（表达）your enthusiasm to join the company.
Davos is a small Alpine city in eastern Switzerland which began making itself known in the 1990s for hosing the World Economic Forum, an annual gathering of politicians, financiers and academics (1). Each year, those taking part spend five days there networking (2) and discussinga variety of(3) issues such as the global supply of oil, world economic growth(4) and environmental problems.
Davos Men share the belief that globalization is both welcome and unstoppable. They would like to see national boundaries vanish(5) so as to facilitate(6)their global operations. Some people say that this international perspective is a minority elitist position not shared by the majority of people. Others, however, argue that endorsing(7) a global outlook(8) does not mean sweeping aside(9) one’s patriotic(10) feelings or erasing(11) one’s national identity. The question, perhaps, is whether it is possible to strike a balance(12) between being global and being local.
You see that young man swimming out at sea? He must be insane (1) to have committed himself to（commit oneself to：致力于）such a thing;Thecurrent(2) is far too strong. To be candid(3), I wouldn’t attempt it. I dare say few swimmers are capable(4) of such a feat (= skill). I met him on the beach before he set out. I don’t mind tellingyou that I was taken aback (5) when he told me what he was going to do. I am a swimmer myself, but I wouldn’t attempt it. And he didn’t look in good condition (6) at all. Far from it. He may have a good constitution(7) once, but he had clearly let himself go all to pieces(8). However, it seems like he had no choice. He told me that he had gone broke(9), not a penny left, and that old Burton would only find him a vacancy (10) in his firm if he did the swim. That was another surprise. Burton seems such a mild(11)mannered（守规矩的）man, kind to everybody. Perhaps he thought the young man would not have the courage, that he would funk it. Then, again, perhaps Burton knew he was sending the young man to his death, but was too cold-blooded to care. It only goes to show how deceptive(12)appearances can be. 背诵段（Unit 3）

When I graduated from college, the odds were good that I would have the same job for the rest of my life. And that's how it worked out. But getting hired is no longer a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Employment experts believe that today's graduates could face as many as ten job changes during their careers.
我大学毕业时，我极有可能终身从事同一个工作。当时情况也的确如此。但如今已不再是一生被聘去做一个工作了。指导就业的专家认为，今天的大学毕业生在他们的生涯中可能会经历多达10次的职业变动。
That may sound like a lot of pressure. But if you're prepared, the pressure is on the other folks -- the ones who haven't done their homework.
听上去似乎压力不小。然而，如果你做了准备，压力就是别人的—那些没做准备的人.
You won't get every job you go after. The best salespeople don't close every sale. Michael Jordan makes barely half of his field-goal attempts. But it takes no longer to prepare well for one interview than to wander in half-prepared for five. And your prospects for success will be many times better.
你不可能得到你想要的每份工作。最好的售货人员也不可能每次都成交。迈克尔·乔丹投篮命中率勉强过半。但认真准备一次面试的时间不会多于马马虎虎准备五次面试的时间，而你成功的可能性要多得多。

These reflections have occurred to me because I read in this morning's paper that Edward Hyde Burton had died at Kobe.He was a merchant and he had been in business in Japan for many year .I knew him very little,but he interested me because once he gave me a great surprise.Unless I had heard the story from his own lips,I should never have believed that he was capable of such an action.It was more startling

because both in appearance and manner he suggested a very definite type.Here if ever was a man all of a piece.He was a tiny little fellow,not much more than five feet four in height,and very slender,with white hair,a red face much wrinkled,and blue eyes.I suppose he was about sixty when I knew him.He was always neatly and quietly dressed in accordance with his age and station.
我产生这些想法，是因为我在今天早上的报纸上看到爱德华·海德·伯顿在神户去世的消息。他是个商人，在日本经商多年。我跟他并不熟，但是对他挺有兴趣，因为有一次他让我大吃一惊。要不是听他亲口讲述这个故事，我根本不会相信他能做出这种事来。这件事之所以特别令人惊讶，是因为无论是外表还是风度，他都让人想到一种非常明确的类型。要说真有表里如一的人的话，那就是此公了。他个子很小，身高不过5英尺4英寸，身材纤细，白头发、蓝眼睛，红红的脸上布满皱纹。我估计自己认识他时，他大约有60岁光景。他向来衣着整洁素雅，合乎他的年龄和身份。
