Interviews are part of most people' s working life. Here are some handy tips on how to do your best at interviews.
Don' t mistakenly think that your interviewers want to know about you. They are interested only in that small part of you that can or can' t do the job they have advertised.
sadly , many of us are so flattered by questions such as "Tell me about your strengths" that we take it as an invitation to chatter and make fools of ourselves.
Never think that lots of enthusiasm is enough. sit down with a pen , paper and the job description ，and work out the skills and qualities they are looking for.
Itemize your technical or professional skills as they match the requirements of the job. Then recall an incident to illustrate each of these skills. When you have done this
, you will be in a position to begin justifying your ability and suitability.
Remember that very few questions are lightly asked.
If your interviewers are interviewing more than a couple of candidates , they have probably worked up a list of eight to ten questions to put to each person. In well-organized businesses , they will be making marks in their notebooks as you give your replies. An imprecise answer will show that you do not appreciate the value of the question. s0 think through how you can give strong
, specific answers to questions such as "Can you work well in a team or on your own or in a small business?"
Avoid giving them reasons to exclude you. You want to appear the sort of person who will help out in a crisis. make the tea sometimes even if it is not your job. be tolerant of others. whatever their age ,sex , race or religion ,
and be easy to manage. Don't attack your previous employer as it suggests you might attack your now one.
Try asking them a few questions. If you ask what sort of projects you would be likely to start work on ,you might then get back some very useful feedback. If they start opening Up
to you , you can get into a more equal conversation and may have an opportunity to show that you can deal with the sort of situation they are describing.

Dear Vicky,
I live in Aberdeen, in the north of Scotland. My family live in Cornwall, at the other end of the country. My parents are getting old now, and I really want to go and see them this Christmas. The problem is my boss. He only gives us 2 days' holiday at Christmas. It's 500 miles to go from Aberdeen to Cornwall and then 500 miles back again, and I'll be exhausted(筋疲力尽)when I get back. I want to ask for more time off, but I don't get on very well with my boss. A few months ago, he walked into the room and heard some of us saying rude things about him. Since then the atmosphere(气氛)has been very difficult.

Dear Anxious in Aberdeen,
It's obvious to me that you need to rebuild your relationship with your boss. You have hurt his feelings, and now that you need something from him. You have realized what you have done.

Good luck!

第二篇
Harmless Revenge
Revenge is one of those things that everyone enjoys.People don't like to talk about it,though.Just the
same,there is nothing more satisfying or more rewarding than revenge.The purpose is not to harm your vic-
tims but to let them know that you are upset about something that they are doing to you.Careful plotting can
provide you with relief from bothersome co-workers,gossiping friends,or nagging family members.
Co-workers who make comments about the fact that you are always fifteen minutes late for work can be
taken care of very simply.All you have to do is get up extra early one day.Before the sun comes up,drive
to each coworker's house.Reach under the hood of your coworker's car and disconnect the center wire that
leads to the distributor cap,the car will be unharmed,but it will not start,and your friends at work will all
be late for work on the same day.If you're lucky,your boss might notice that you are the only one there and
will give you a raise.
Gossiping friends at school are also perfect targets for a simple act of revenge.A way to trap either male
or female friends is to leave phony messages on their lockers.If the friend that you want to get is male,leave
a message that a certain girl would like him to stop by her house later that day.With any luck,her boyfriend
will be there.The girl won't know what's going on,and the victim will be so embarrassed that he probably
won't leave his home for a month.
When Mom and Dad and your sisters and brothers really begin to annoy you,harmless revenge may be
just the way to make them quiet down for a while.The dinner table is a likely place.Just before the meal
begins,throw a handful of raisins into the food.Wait about five minutes and,after everyone has begun to
eat,cover your mouth with your hand and begin to make odd noises.When they ask you what the matter is,
point to a raisin and yell,"Bugs!"They dump their food in the disposal,jump into the car,and head for
McDonald'a.That night,you'll have your first quiet,peaceful meal in a long time.
A well-planned revenge does not have to hurt anyone.The object is simply to let other people know that
they are beginning to bother you.
A:making your colleagues come late
B:getting up earlier than your colleagues
C:destroying your colleagues' cars
D:pleasing your boss

由文章倒数第二段可知，要想摆脱唠叨的家人，可以在晚饭前丢一把葡萄干到食物里， 然后在开饭时指着葡萄干对他们说：“有虫子！”由此可知，家人们随后倒掉食物是因为A项： 他们误认为食物被糟蹋了。
本文的主旨是C项：进行无恶意的报复。

第10题：
How to Get along Well with Your Boss
1 Before you argue with your boss,check with the boss's secretary to determine his mood.If he ate
nails for breakfast,it is not a good idea to ask him for something.Even without the boss's secretary,there
are keys to timing don't approach the boss when he's on deadline,don't go in right before lunch,when he
is apt to be distracted and rushed,don't go in just before or after he has taken a vacation.
2 If you're mad,that will only make your boss mad.Calm down first.And don'tlet a particular con-
cern open the floodgates for all your accumulated frustration.The boss will feel that you think negatively
about the company and it is hopeless trying to change your mind.Then maybe he will dismiss you.
3 Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem
the other wants to discuss.Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear. The employee
has to get his point across clearly in order to make the boss understand it.
4 Your boss has enough on his mind without your adding more.If you can'tput forward an immediate
solution,at least suggest how to approach the problem.People who frequently present problems without solu-
tions to their bosses may soon find they can'tget past the secretary.
5 To deal effectively with a boss,it's important to consider his goals and pressures.If you can put
yourself in the position of being a partner to the boss,then he will be naturally more inclined to work with
you to achieve your goals.
A:Keep Your Voice Low All the Time
B:Put Yourself in the Boss's Position
C:Propose Your Solution
D:Don't Go In When You Are Angry
E:Make the Issue Clear
F:Never Give In
从文章第三段的第一句和第二句“Terrible disputes can result when neither the employer nor the employee knows what is the problem the other wants to discuss.Sometimes the fight will go away when the issues are made clear.”一知，当老板或员工都不知道对方想探讨的问题是什么时，就会引发激烈的争吵。而当双方都清楚了之后就不会有争吵。因此，双方都应清楚对方要说什么。故选E。
文章第四段的第二句话和第三句“If you can' t put forward an immediate solution, at least suggest how to approach the problem.People who frequently present problems without solutions to their bosses may soon find they can' t get past the secretary.”可知，如果你不能提出立刻就能解决问题的办法，也要至少给老板建议可以解决问题的途径。那些只会不断向老板提出问题而不提供解决办法的人很快就发现他们在老板秘书那就过不了关，更别提会被老板接见。因此，在提出问题时也要提出问题的解决办法。故选C。
文章第五段的第一句是本段主题句，"To deal effectively with a boss, it' s important to consider his goals and pressures.”意思是说应该从老板的位置看问题，设身处地，老板才会愿意帮助你。故选B。
从语法上看，这里需要的是一个宾语，现在填人的是一个宾语从句。再看本句的意义和文章第一句“Before you argue with your boss , check with the boss's secretary to determine his mood.”的意思相同。故选B。
这句话需要填人的是动词make的宾语，根据文章第三段的内容可知“让老板明白你想要探讨的问题是很必要的”,D选项的内容与之相同。
由文章第四段可知，只提出问题，不提供解决办法是不聪明的。故选E。
从本句的结构来看，the trouble后面需要有限定或修饰的成分，故填人一个定语从句。根据句意，从文章最后一段的第一句“To deal effectively with a boss,it's importantt。consider his goals and pressures"，可以找到答案，C为最佳答案。
