4-2 Have you ever dreamed about turning your hobby into your full-time job? This may sound too good to be true， but for fashion writer and model Anna King， the dream is now a reality. Anna had always found it difficult to find clothes to fit her. She says， “I am a plus-size woman， and so when I went shopping with my friends， I could never find anything big enough to fit me. So， I went online and found lots of great shops which sold fashionable clothes in bigger sizes. I took photos of myself wearing the clothes and shared my shopping experiences online， on a weekly fashion blog.” The blog called “Large Looks” became popular. Anna says， “Soon I had followers from all over the world! It turns out that many bigger women were having similar problems finding nice clothes.” After two years of blogging， a publisher asked me to write a book about my experiences. Just one week later， a model agency asked me to model some plus-size clothes for them. I just couldn’t believe it! Anna says， “I was able to give up my job as a secretary for a law firm and concentrate on my hobby. Now I never feel sad about going back to work on a Monday!” She adds， “Lots of people tell me how lucky I am. I tell them that yes， I was lucky， but I also worked very hard. I wrote hundreds of blog posts before I was noticed!” 39. What job did Anna do before she started blogging?

B. 　 She was a secretary.

9-1 One of the most important things you can do in the days before a job interview is to work on developing a positive attitude. It’s natural to feel nervous， but a positive mind-set will help you to perform well and to convince the interviewer that you are the right person for the job. In order to feel positive， you need to examine the way you think. If you think things like “I can’t...” or “That’s impossible” you need to change the way you speak to yourself. Instead of thinking “I can’t do public speaking”， tell yourself “I find public speaking difficult， but I’m going to work on it and get better”. It is well-known that preparation will help you to successfully answer interview questions. But did you know that preparing well for an interview can also help you to feel much more confident? On the morning of your interview， do everything you can to make yourself feel relaxed. Do you have a favourite song which makes you feel good? Put it on at top volume and listen to the words. Treat yourself to a healthy breakfast and remind yourself of all you have achieved so far. Finally， tell yourself you are looking forward to， and not fearing， the interview. Finally， see the interview as an opportunity to learn. Try not to think of it in terms of getting the job or not getting the job. See it as a way of getting valuable interview experience and making important connections in your industry. 82. According to the article， why is it important to have a positive mind-set?

A. 　 It will improve your interview performance.

B. 　 It will help you to feel less worried.

C. 　 It will make you look better.

D. 　 It will help you to think more clearly.

1-2 My life as a bed tester Last year， I graduated from art school without any definite ideas about what I wanted to do. I knew I didn’t want to work nine to five， and I also didn’t really want to work in an office. Then one day， I saw an advertisement on the graduate career website. It said: “Do you appreciate the importance of a good night’s sleep? Are you interested in flexible working hours? Why not consider a career in bed testing!” I’ve always enjoyed sleeping， so I decided to send my résumé and a cover letter. The interview was very unusual. I was asked to lie down on two different beds and make notes on what I thought about them. It was the strangest interview I’ve ever had， and I couldn’t believe my luck when I found I had got the job. After that， I worked for a year testing beds. I think I slept in about 50 or 60 beds every month! My biggest job was when I visited a big， luxury hotel. I was offered $10，000 to sleep in each one of their hundreds of beds and write about how comfortable they were. It wasn’t a bad salary for such relaxing work. One of the best things about the job is when people at parties ask me what I do. Telling them I am a professional sleeper always gets the conversation started! I don’t know if I’ll do this job forever， but for now it suits me just fine. 10. What are the writer’s plans for the future?

A. 　 To be a bed tester forever.

B. 　 To give up the job very soon.

C. 　 To continue the job in the short term.

D. 　 To set up a bed-testing business.

13. I can’t really comment ______ your résumé， because I haven’t seen it.

A. 　 in

B. 　 at

C. 　 over
