　　So you have been called for an interview—well done! Your effort has been paid off. Now to get the job. You will feel better at the interview if you show an understanding of the nature of the organization.

　　Ask someone who already does it, or check it out with one of the CES advisers.

　　Arrange (安排) with a member of family or a friend to act as the employer (雇主) and to give you an unreal interview. But as realistic as possible, answer the questions seriously. Afterwards discuss how it went.

　　Think about how the employer would prefer to see you look. Remember the majority of employers are over 30.

　　It is not wise to rush out and buy new clothes which will be worn for the first time at the interview. You'll feel more at ease in a familiar garment.

　　Carelessness in any of these could cost you the job. Arrive at least 15 minutes before time. This will give you a chance to have a look around, read the notice board and get the feel of the place. Lateness at interviews creates a bad impression. The first impression the interviewer gets of you is formed as you walk through the door, so take a couple of deep breathes. He ready to shake hands if the interviewer offers, and don't take a seat until asked. Then sit comfortably.

　　Make eye contact when you are and again if you shake hands, and during questioning. Eye contact is a form of non-verbal (非语言交际的)greeting. It opens up the communication channel.

　　Remember the interviewer's name and use it from time to time.

　　Be ready for the question“Was there anything you wanted to ask?”Before the interview you should get ready for two or three such questions. Look on these not just as a chance to get information but as a means to improve your prospects (展望) in the employer's estimation (估计). Asking can show knowledge and avoid asking about holidays, pension and so on. It looks as if you're tired even before you begin. You can check on these later, when the hoped-for job is offered.

　　And if you fail, look upon the interview as an experience in itself. Learn from it. We wish you good luck and good job hunting.

D

       There are so many different plastic cards that adults have to carry around—library cards, savings cards for different banks, credit cards, just to name a few．．．So why not have one to replace them all?

       Scott Barnhill, an 1l-year-old fifth-grade student in the US, has come up with an idea for a "Security One Card"．

       Sound smart? The US Patent（专利） Office thought so, and it approved a patent for his idea in April．

       Here’s an example of how Barnhill’s idea would work．

       Let’s say you have the three cards mentioned above．Instead of carrying them all, you could have just one by having additional magnetic strips（磁条） added to it．

       The magnetic strips can be added to any plastic card, even a blank one．

       Companies could add their information to one of the strips．For example, you could ask a library to add a strip to your bankcard．

       Barnhill has a lot of hobbies, including designing websites．He got the idea at the age of 9 when he saw his father using a keycard to enter their hotel room．He thought, "The hotels are wasting money with the key cards．" So, instead of using a hotel-issued key card, guests could use their credit cards--if the hotel added a special magnetic strip．At check-out, the strip would simply be removed．

       Now that he has his patent, his next step is a letter-writing campaign to get support from major credit card companies．

       "I’m going to be writing letters to credit card companies to ask if they can co-operate．I hope they’ll give me money every time someone puts a strip on the back of another card, or every time the idea is used, " Barnhill said．"I’ll write the letters and see what they say．If they say no, I’ll ask someone else, another credit card company．"

       He is hoping to make money from his patent and has decided it would be better to collect royalties（专利使用费）rather than sell his patent if the idea take off.

       "The ATM person who invented that sold it totally, and if he’d chosen royalties he’d get like 2 cents for every transaction （交易） and he’d be a billionaire now," Scott said．

68．The immediate cause of Scott’s invention was that _________．

       A．he found that adults have to carry around so many plastic cards

       B．he realized it’s big waste to make so many plastic cards instead of only one

       C．he found even a hotel issued its own cards--keycards

       D．he realized it would be a good chance to make big money

69．The advantage of "Security One Card" is that it ___________．

       A．could remove the burden of taking all kinds of plastics cards

       B．would he very safe

       C．could save your money

       D．could have a lot of magnetic strips on it

70．The underlined phrase "takes off" in the last but one paragraph probably means ___________．

       A．makes money                                           B．wins a lot of support   

       C．is worth a lot                                         D．is practical

71．From the story, we can see Scott is ___________．

       A．more magic than smart                       B．clever but lazy

       C．creative, determined and wise                   D．far-sighted
