Tight-lipped elders used to say , “ It’s not what you want in this world , but what you get . ”

Psychology teaches that you do get what you want if you know what you want and want the right things．

You can make a mental blueprint of a desire as you would make a blueprint of a house, and each of us is continually making these blueprints in the general routine of everyday living．If we intend to have friends to dinner, we plan the menu, make a shopping list, decide which food to cook first, and such planning is essential for any type of meal to be served．

Likewise, if you want to find a job, take a sheet of paper, and write a brief account of yourself．In making a blueprint for a job, begin with yourself, for when you know exactly what you have to offer, you can intelligently plan where to sell your services．

This account of yourself is actually a sketch of your working life and should include education, experience and references．Such an account is valuable．It can be referred to in filling out standard application blanks and is extremely helpful in personal interviews．While talking to you, your could-be employer is deciding whether your education, your experience, and other qualifications will pay him to employ you and your “ wares ” and abilities must be displayed in an orderly and reasonably connected manner．

When you have carefully prepared a blueprint of your abilities and desires, you have something tangible to sell．Then you are ready to hunt for a job．Get all the possible information about your could-be job．Make inquiries as to the details concerning the job and the firm．Keep your eyes and ears open, and use your own judgment．Spend a certain amount of time each day seeking the employment you wish for, and keep in mind: Securing a job is your job now．

1.What do the elders mean when they say, “It’s not what you want in this world, but what you get?”

A．You’ll certainly get what you want．

B．It’s no use dreaming．

C．You should be dissatisfied with what you have．

D．It’s essential to set a goal for yourself．

2.A blueprint made before inviting a friend to dinner is used in this passage as ________．

A．an illustration of how to write an application for a job

B．an indication of how to secure a good job

C．a guideline for job description

D．a principle for job evaluation

3.According to the passage, one must write an account of himself before starting to find a job because ________．

A．that is the first step to please the employer

B．that is the requirement of the employer

C．it enables him to know when to sell his services

D．it forces him to become clearly aware of himself

It’s natural to greet friends with a smile and a wave . 1. But what happens if your face and body send mixed messages ? Would someone be more likely to believe the look on your face or the way you hold your body ?

Scientists have recently tackled these questions . They found that when a person is looking at your face , she might not believe what she sees if your body language doesn’t match the feeling that your face shows . 2. Previously , they had found that the tone of a person’s voice can be more important than the words that are spoken . For example , most people tend not to believe a person who says in a flat voice , “ I’m so excited . ”

When it came to emotions conveyed by facial expressions and body language , most scientists suspected that the face was more important . To test if this was true , psychologists from the Netherlands and Boston showed people a number of pictures of isolated faces and isolated bodies (with faces blurred out（模糊的）) that showed anger or fear . 3. An angry face had low eyebrows and tight lips . A scared face had high eyebrow and a slightly open mouth . 4. A scared body had arms forward and shoulders square , as if ready to defend .

These results told the researchers that mixed signals can confuse people . Even when people pay attention to the face , body language subtly influences which emotion they read . 5. If you want to be understood , it helps to avoid sending mixed messages .

A. Studying such mixed messages is nothing new for scientists .

B. So , your body language is important for telling people how you feel .

C. Scientists feel new to study the mixed message that confuses people .

D. An angry body had arms back and shoulders at an angle , as if ready to fight .

E. Body language can sometimes be misunderstood in different culture backgrounds .

F. When you do this , your face and body work together to show your friends that you’re happy to see them .

G. They also showed pictures in which angry or scared faces were paired with angry or scared bodies .
