填空题Attire, body language and manners count during interviews. After all, interviewers are regular people like the rest of us, easily impressed by good behavior and just as easily offended by inappropriate behavior. Yet, surveys show that job candidates' interview manners and other professionalisms are on the decline. On the next pages are tips for acting professionally before, during and after interviews, to avoid offending interviewers and increase your chances of landing a job. (For more interview tips and other job-searching help, click on the links in the sidebar, under Related Resources. ) These interview tips are based on good manners in the United States. Good manners are appreciated everywhere, but what constitutes then, may differ among other countries.41. Do your homework: Research the company and study the job description before you interview, as your inter viewer will likely ask what you know about the company and why you want the job. ( )42. Get your personal papers ready: Collect and neatly arrange your important papers and work samples in a nice briefcase or portfolio. ( )Dress appropriately: Practice good hygiene, comb or brush your hair, and dress appropriately. Even if you know that the company dress is business-casual, dress up anyway. It shows professionalism and respect, and most importantly, that you know how to dress for interviews.43. Be punctual: Unless otherwise instructed (e. g. , to fill out a job application), arrive five to ten minutes early for the interview; ( )Sit with good pasture: If you don't know what to do with your hands, keep them folded in your lap. This is another indication of good manners. Avoid crossing your arms over your chesty as it subliminally demonstrates a closed mind to some.44. Read the mood: ( )45. Maintain eye contact: Maintain eye contact with the interviewer. ( ) It's okay to ask questions to better answer the questions the interviewer asks you. But withhold the bulk of your questions until the interviewer asks if you have any, which is typically toward the end of the interview. Avoid asking the frivolous just because interviewers expect you to have questions. Instead, ask about important matters, such as job duties, management style and the financial health of the company. It's not a good idea to ask questions about vacation, sick days, lunch breaks and so on, right off the bat. Ask about the lesser matters of importance during follow-up interviews. Typically, you'll negotiate salary, benefits, perks and such in a follow-up interview. Regardless, don't bring it up until asked, yet be ready to discuss it at anytime.A. This makes you look organized and professional. Remember to pack relevant documents such as extra resumes and reference lists, immigrant work-authorization papers, letters of recommendation, and information required on job applications. Bring at least one pen and pencil, and a notepad too.B. If the interviewer is formal, then you probably should be, too. If the interviewer is casual, then follow along while remaining courteous and professional. In either case, try to appear to be relaxed, but not too relaxed. It's not a good idea to put your feet up on the interviewer's desk!C. Avoid staring or you might make the interviewer uncomfortable, but don't look away too often either. To some, failure to maintain a comfortable level of eye contact indicates that you are lying, reaching for answers or lacking confidence.D. It also helps you to formulate questions about the company and job. Interviewers typically expect you to ask such questions.E. If it's possible without making a commotion, scoot your chair a little closer to the interviewer's desk or take the chair closet to the desk, like you're ready to dive right in. This shows interest and confidence. But don't invade the interviewer's personal space, a perimeter of about two feet by U. 8. standards.F. This shows that you are eager and punctual. If you're not at least five minutes early for an interview, you're five minutes late! But don't arrive more than ten minutes early, aa it might be inconvenient for your interviewers. Definitely don't be late!

A significant portion of industry and transportation burns
fossil fuels, such as gasoline. When these fuels burn, chemicals and particulate
matter are released into the atmosphere. Although a vast number of substances
contribute to air pollution, the most common air pollutants contain carbon,
sulfur, and nitrogen. 41 __________. Acid rain
forms when sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide transform into sulfuric acid and
nitric acid in the atmosphere and come back to Earth in precipitation. Acid rain
has made numerous lakes so acidic that they no longer support fish
populations. 42 __________. Estimates suggest
that nearly 1.5 billion people worldwide lack safe drinking water and that at
least 5 million deaths per year can be attributed to waterborne diseases. Water
pollution may come from point sources or nonpoint sources. Point sources
discharge pollutants from specific locations, such as factories, sewage
treatment plants, and oil tankers. The technology exists to monitor and regulate
point sources of pollution, although in some areas this occurs only
sporadically. Pollution from nonpoint sources occurs when rainfall or snowmelt
moves over and through the ground. 43 __________.
With almost 80 percent of the planet covered by oceans, people have long
acted as if those bodies of water could serve as a limitless dumping ground for
wastes. However, raw sewage, garbage, and oil spills have begun to overwhelm the
diluting capabilities of tile oceans, and most coastal waters are now polluted,
threatening marine wildlife. 44 __________.
Water that collects beneath the ground is called groundwater. Worldwide,
groundwater is 40 times more abundant than fresh water in streams and lakes. In
the United States, approximately half the drinking water comes from groundwater.
Although groundwater is a renewable resource, reserves replenish relatively
slowly. Presently, groundwater in the United States is withdrawn approximately 4
times faster than it is naturally replaced. 45 __________. A.
Beaches around the world close regularly, often because the surrounding waters
contain high levels of bacteria from sewage disposal. B. These
chemicals interact with one another and with ultraviolet radiation in sunlight
in dangerous ways. Smog, usually found in urban areas with large numbers of
automobiles, forms when nitrogen oxides react with hydrocarbons in the air to
produce aldehydes and ketones. Smog can cause serious health problems.
C. Acid rain is also responsible for the decline of many forest
ecosystems worldwide, including Germany's Black Forest and forests throughout
the eastern United States. D. In addition to groundwater
depletion, scientists worry about groundwater contamination, which arises from
leaking underground storage tanks, poorly designed industrial waste ponds, and
seepage from the deep-well injection of hazardous wastes into underground
geologic formations. E. The Ogallala Aquifer, a huge underground
reservoir stretching under eight states of the Great Plains, is drawn down at
rates exceeding 100 times the replacement rate. Agricultural practices depending
on this source of water need to change within a generation in order to save this
groundwater source. F. As the runoff moves, it picks up and
carries away pollutants, such as pesticides and fertilizers, depositing the
pollutants into lakes, rivers, wetlands, coastal waters, and even underground
sources of drinking water. Pollution arising from nonpoint sources accounts for
a majority of the contaminants in streams and lakes. G. By
some estimates, on average, 25 percent of usable groundwater is contaminated,
and in some areas as much as 75 percent is contaminated.

填空题{{B}}Directions:{{/B}}In the following text, some sentences have been
removed. For questions 41-45, choose the most suitable one from the list A--G to
fit into each of the numbered blank. There are two extra choices, which do not
fit in any of the gaps. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1.
This is the story of a sturdy-American symbol which has now spread
throughout most of the world. The symbol is not the dollar. It is not even
Coca-Cola. It is a simple pair of pants called blue jeans, and what the pants
symbolize is what Alexis de Tocqueville called "a manly and legitimate passion
for equality ..." (2) Blue jeans are favored equally by
bureaucrats and cowboys; bankers and deadbeats; fashion designers and beer
drinkers. They draw no distinctions and recognize no classes; they are merely
American. (3) 41. __________. (4) This
ubiquitous American symbol was the invention of a Bavaraian-born Jew. His
name was Levi Strauss. (5) He was born in Bad Ocheim, Germany,
in 1829, and during the European political turmoil of 1848 decided to take his
chances in New York, to which his two brothers already had emigrated. Upon
arrival, Levi soon found that his two brothers had exaggerated their tales of an
easy life in the land of the main chance. He found them pushing needles, thread,
pots, pans, ribbons, yarn, scissors and buttons to housewives.
(6) 42. __________. (7) It was the wrong kind of canvas
for that purpose, but while talking with a miner down from the mother lode, he
learned that pants-sturdy pants that would stand up to the rigors of the
digging--were almost impossible to find. (8) Opportunity
beckoned on the spot, Strauss measured the man's girth and inseam with a piece
of string and, for six dollars in gold dust, had [the canvas] tailored into a
pair of stiff but rugged pants. (9) 43. __________.
(10) When Strauss ran out of canvas, he Wrote his two brothers to send
more. He received instead a tough, brown cotton cloth made in Nimes,
France. (11) Almost from the first, Strauss had his cloth dyed
the distinctive indigo that gave blue jeans their name, but it was not until the
1870s that he added the copper rivets which have long since become a company
trademark. (12) 44. __________. (13) For three
decades thereafter the business remained profitable though small, with sales
largely confined to the working people of the West-cowboys, lumberjacks,
railroad workers, and the like. (14) Levi's jeans were first
introduced to the East, apparently, during the dude-ranch craze of the 1930s,
when vacationing Easterners returned and spread the word about the wonderful
pants with rivets. (15) 45. __________. (16) The
pants have become a tradition, and along the way have acquired a history of
their own so much so that the company has opened a museum in San Francisco. For
example, there is the particularly terrifying story of the careless construction
worker who dangled fifty two stories above the street until rescued, his sole
support the Levi's belt loop through which his rope was hooked.
[A] The miner was delighted with the result, word got around about "those
pants of Levi's", and Strauss was in business. The company has been in business
very since. [B] As a kind of joke, Davis took the pants to a
blacksmith and had the pockets riveted; once again, the idea worked so well that
word got around; in 1873 Strauss appropriated and patented the gimmick--and
hired Davis as a regional manager. [C] By this time, Strauss had
taken both his brothers and two brothers-in-law into the company and was ready
for his third San Francisco store. Over the ensuing years the company prospered
locally, and by the time of his death in 1902, Strauss had become a man of
prominence in California. [D] For two years he was a lowly
peddler, hauling some 180 pounds of sundries door-to-door to eke out a marginal
living. When a married sister in San Francisco offered to pay his way West in
1850, he jumped at the opportunity, taking with him bolts of canvas he hoped to
sell for tenting. [E] Another boost came in World War Ⅱ, when
blue jeans were declared an essential commodity and were sold 0nly to people
engaged in defense work. From a company with fifteen salespeople, two plants,
and almost no business east of the Mississippi in 1946, the organization grew in
thirty years to include a sales force of more than twenty-two thousand, with
plants and offices in thirty-five countries. [F] They adapt
themselves to any sort of idiosyncratic use; women slit them at the inseams and
convert them into long skirts, men chop them off above the knees and turn them
into something to be worn while challenging the surf. Decorations and
ornamentations abound. [G] Yet they are sought after almost
everywhere in the world-including Russia, where authorities recently broke up a
teen-aged gang that was selling them on the black market for two hundred dollars
a pair.
