The impression you make at the beginning of an interview is very important. Employers often decide to hire someone in the first three minutes of the interview. They judge you by your appearance, attitude and manners.
A friendly smile when you walk into the room is important. A smile shows a confident and positive attitude.
When you introduce yourself, make eye contact with the interviewer. Some interviewers offer a handshake. Others don't.
Try to be as natural as possible. But pay attention to your body language. The way you sit, walk, gesture, use your voice and show feelings on your face is all part of your body language. It makes the interviewer know how you feel about yourself and the situation you are in. Are you feeling positively about yourself? Your abilities? Your interest in the job?
Speak clearly and loudly enough. Show interest and enthusiasm in your voice. When you speak, look at the interviewer. Also, don't say negative things about yourself, or former employer.
Listen to questions carefully. If you don't understand a question, ask the interviewer to repeat or explain: "I'm sorry, but I didn't catch that." "I'm not sure exactly what you mean."
Almost everyone is nervous in a job interview. Interviewers know that. They don't expect you to be totally calm and relaxed. But they expect you to try to control your nervousness. They expect you to show confidence in your ability to do the job.
At the end of the interview, thank the interviewer for her or his time.
It's a good idea to send a short thank-you letter right after the interview, or deliver it by hand.
Phone the company if you have not heard anything after one week. Ask if they have made a decision about the job.
Good luck!

短文改错（共1小题）
A group of frogs were traveling through the woods．And two of them fall into a deep hole．When the other frogs saw how deeply the hole was, they told the two frogs that we were as good as dead．The two frogs ignored the comments and try to jump up out of the hole with efforts．The other frogs kept telling them to stopping, and that they were as good as dead．Finally, one of the frogs believed that the other frogs were saying and gave up．He fell down and died．The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could．Once again, the crowd of frogs shouted him to stop and just die．
He jumped even the harder and finally managed it．When he got out, the other frogs said, “Didn’t you hear us? “The frog explains that he was deaf．He thought they were encouraging him the entire times．
下面文章中有5个段落需要添加小标题（第1—5题）。请从以下选项（A、B、C、D、E、F）中选出符合各段意思的小标题。选项中有多余选项。
A.The engine in your body．
B.The location, size and heartbeat of a heart．
C.What happens when the heart beats?
D.How does your heart work?
E. How do we know about the heart?
F.What can a doctor tell by feeling your pulse?
1._______ Your heart is sometimes called the engine or the motor in your body and sometimes called the pump．It works away, both day and night．First it pumps out some blood, rests for a few seconds, and then it pumps some more．In a normal day, the heart pumps about 2,500 gallons of blood from the auricles and ventricles．
2.________ When your heart beats, it is pumping blood to all parts of your body．If you could examine your heart closely, you would see that it is really two pumps placed side by side, and working at the same time．Each pump has two parts, the upper part called the auricle(心房), and the lower part called the ventricle(心室)．The auricles receive the blood as it comes into them after it has been pumped through the body．The ventricles pump the blood out．The right one pumps the blood to the lungs and the left one pumps the blood to all other parts of the body．At the top and bottom openings of each ventricle are valves(阀门) which make the blood go in only one direction．
3.______ Your heart is located in your chest, a little to your left．This heart of yours, which is about the size of your two fists held together, beats about 90 times a minute．A grown person’s heart beats about 60 to 80times a minute．The heartbeat is not just the same in all persons, and it is not the same in any one person at all times．
4._______ By using a stethoscope to listen to the heart, the doctor can tell whether your heart is beating evenly and whether the valves are closing tightly．The stethoscope makes these sounds so clear that the doctor can hear them easily．The stethoscope has an earpiece that he places on your chest and tubes that he places in his ears．The earpiece carries the sound of your heart’s beating along the tubes to the doctor’s ears, and it makes the sound seem much louder than it really is．The doctor could listen to your heartbeat by pulling his ears against your chest．
5._______ An easy experiment can help you understand what happens when the heart beats．You can do this experiment with a hollow rubber ball．Make a small hole in it, and fill the ball with water through the hole．When you squeeze the ball, you will notice how the water comes out in a spurt each time you squeeze．After each spurt the ball comes back to its round shape again．Something like this happens when your heart beats．The muscles in your heart grow smaller, or contract, and squeeze the blood out of the heart．Each time this happens, we say your heart is beating．Perhaps you have noticed that the doctor places his finger on the pulse in your wrist when you are ill．By doing this he can tell how fast your heart is beating．
Here’s something that might make you feel a little better the next time you have a serious case of hanger - you’re not being irrational or unreasonable, it’s just science．
The concept of being ‘hangry’ - angry because you’re hungry - comes up among ScienceAlert staff．But there’s nothing wrong with being hangry - there’s a scientific reason why having low blood sugar can make some people aggressive．
According to a study published earlier this year, blood sugar levels directly related to how married couples were likely to treat each other．Working with 107 couples over three weeks, the researchers, led by psychologist Brad Bushman from the Ohio State University in the US, found that when individuals experienced lower than usual blood sugar levels, they became increasingly aggressive and mean towards their significant others．
This was measured through the use of a good old-fashioned voodoo doll — the volunteers were each given one, along with 51 pins, to represent their spouse-a partner in marriage．Each person’s aggressive impulses（冲动）were then measured based on how many pins they stuck into their spouse-dolls every night throughout the experiment．
Aggression, on the other hand, was measured by volunteers blasting（炮轰）their spouse with a loud and unpleasant noise in the headphones they had to wear．
Turns out that the volunteers who experienced the lowest blood sugar levels stuck more pins into their voodoo dolls, and forced louder and longer blasts of noise on their spouses than those who had plenty of glucose(葡萄糖) in their system．
"People are often the most aggressive against the people to whom they are closest — intimate partners,” the researchers concluded．"Intimate partner violence might be partly a result of poor self-control．Self-control of aggressive impulses requires energy, and much of this energy is provided by glucose from the food we eat．"
As Susannah Locke explains at Vox, glucose is the only molecule（分子） that our brains will accept as fuel．This means, quite simply, that when we’re not producing enough glucose, our brains won’t function properly．It also means that we lack the energy we need to maintain self-control, which is why we’re more likely to hit or criticize others suddenly in an uncharacteristic manner when we haven’t eaten in a while．

C． Without glucose, our brain will function properly．
