One of the most common questions I am asked is whether, when, and how to follow up after a job interview. Following up in some way is necessary. Yes, you can get a job without it, but if you compete with other top candidates(候选人), following up can sometimes help you when the other candidate doesn’t. Here’s how to follow up well:
Send a thank-you note at once. E-mail is fine for this and has the advantage of arriving faster, but handwritten notes are still appreciated (欣赏). And if there are many interviews（面试）, send a thank-you note each time.
Find out their timeline. Hopefully, you asked about their timeline in the interview itself, but if you didn’t, follow up within a week to strengthen your interest and politely ask what they expect their timeline for a decision to be.
Be patient. Most commonly, job seekers are too worried about the result. It doesn’t look worried to express your interest in the job or check in to ask about the timeline.
Don’t be nervous if you don’t hear from them at once. The hiring process often takes longer than a candidate would like, maybe the decision makers are out of town. If you’re past the time they indicated you would hear something, this isn’t necessarily cause for nervousness. Hiring often ends up taking longer than expected. Just politely follow up, explain you’re very interested but understand that hiring can take time, and ask if they have the latest timeline.

When you watch TV and play video games you make global(全球的) warming worse! It may seem hard to believe, but w
hen
electricity is made, so are greenhouse gases(温室气体).
This means that every time you use electricity you help make global warming
worse!
Cars are also making global warming worse. They burn fossil fuels(化石燃料) in their engines, and send lots of greenhouse gases into the air.
Global warming may be a big problem, but we can
all help stop it. People can try to drive their cars less. Or even get ones
that 
run
on sunlight! You can also help. Let’s try one of these top ideas:
(1) Try to use less electricity. Turn off lights, your television, and your computer when you’ve stopped using them. To make electricity, fossil fuels are burned in big factories. But burning fossil fuels also makes greenhouse gases. You should also try to watch less TV.
(2) Plant trees. Not only is it a fun thing to do, but it is also a great way to lower the number of greenhouse gases in the air. Trees take carbon dioxide out of the air when they grow.
(3) Don’t throw away your rubbish, try to recycle it. If rubbish is not recycled, it is put in the ground. There it rots(腐烂) and makes a greenhouse gas called methane(甲烷).So try to recycle cans, bottles, plastic bags and newspapers. It’ll make you feel great! And it’ll help the Earth.

A. use less electricity B. drive a car on sunlight

4.Which is the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?
A. Driving cars on sunlight helps to stop global warming.

“My dear lady,” says Holmes. “You’re shivering. Are you cold? Do you want a cup of hot tea?”
“I’m not cold,” the woman replies, “I fear for my life!”

There once was a master who went to India. In those times, we didn't have airplanes or many kinds of transportation that we do now. So the master went to India . And when he got there, he saw a lot of fruit. In India they have plenty of fruit to sell, but much of it is because they can't grow much the water situation. So he saw one basket, a big basket of some very red, long fruit. And it was the cheapest in the shop, not expensive at all.
So he and asked, "How much per kilo?" And the shopkeeper said, "Two rupees."(印度货币) Two rupees in India is ; it's like dirt (尘土). So he bought a whole kilogram of the fruit and started eating it. But after he ate some of it: Oh, my God! His __ watered, his mouth watered and burned, his eyes were burning, his head was burning and his face became . As he coughed terribly , he up and down, saying, "Ah! Ah! Ah!"
But he still continued to eat the fruit! Some people who were looking at him shook their heads and said, "You're crazy, man. Those are chilies（辣椒）! You can't eat so many; they're not good for you! People use them a condiment（作料）, but only a little bit to put into food for taste. You can't just eat them by the handful like that; they're not !" So the silly master said, "No, I can't stop! I paid money for them, now I'll eat them. It's my !"
And you think that master was silly,
right? Similarly, we sometimes do a lot of 
things
like that. we still continue just because we've money,
time, effort and love into it. Just like the man who ate the chilies and felt
so bad but couldn't stop 
because
he didn't want to waste the money he'd paid.
So you've lost something, let it go and move on. That's better than continuing to .
