8-2 The benefits of a paid vacation Taking a paid vacation is good for everyone. Not only are regular vacations good for the work-life balance of the individual employees， they also increase productivity， which is great for business. Vacations don’t need to be long to be effective. Sally Harper， a professional psychologist says: “Some people believe that a vacation is only worthwhile if it’s for two weeks or longer. In fact， taking several short two-day vacations each year can be even more energising. You don’t need to spend lots of money travelling somewhere new. The important thing is to try something you haven’t done before.” Sally continues: “It’s fine to stay at home， but go on a hike， or go swimming， you will feel better. Don’t spend your vacation cleaning out your kitchen closet， as this will not help you to return to work feeling recharged!” When you go on vacation， take a complete break from work. Sally says: “It can be tempting to respond to emails， so you don’t fall too far behind. If you do this， you’re not on vacation-you’re just working somewhere else.” If you’re still not convinced about the importance of taking regular vacations， think of the health benefits. Taking regular time off will improve your mental and physical health. You’ll return to work feeling relaxed and find it easier to get along with your colleagues. Better start planning your time off work now. And if you’re an employer， make sure you encourage all your employees to make the most of their vacations. 79. What impact might paid vacations have on staff relationships， according to the writer?

A. 　Workers will return feeling relaxed， so will get on with their colleagues better.

B. 　Vacations cause problems when staff have to do their colleagues’ work.

C. 　Vacations will not have any impact on staff relationships.

D. 　Vacations can cause workers to feel envious of each other and result in bad feeling.

2-1 Advice from a Hiring Manager As a hiring manager I’ve conducted hundreds of interviews over the years. I believe this puts me in a good position to offer advice about how to make the best possible impression at interview. First of all, it is a good idea to arrive early for the interview, but not too early. 10-15 minutes before your interview starts is ideal. Candidates often believe that they should arrive as early as possible for an interview. However, arriving too early can be inconvenient for the hiring manager, who may well be interviewing other candidates. Once you have arrived, make sure you’re polite to everyone you meet, especially the receptionist. As a hiring manager, I often check with the receptionist after interviews to find out which candidates were most polite. It is important to me that team members will get on well with everyone they work with. Another important tip is this: if the interviewer tries to make small talks with you (by talking about the weather for example), make sure you are friendly. I often ask candidates about how their journey was, as their response will tell me what they are like as a person. Finally, bring a copy of your résumé. So many candidates forget to mention important dates or qualifications. If you have your résumé in front of you, it can really help you to answer challenging questions. Follow this advice, research the job and the position and you’ll be in with a good chance of passing the interview. 14. Why might an interviewer ask a candidate about the weather?

A. 　 To help the candidate to relax.

B. 　 To see how friendly the candidate is.

C. 　 When the interviewer has run out of other questions.

D. 　 If the interviewer’s office has no windows.

6-2 New year, new goal! For the past five years, I made the same promise to myself every spring: “I am going to get into shape”. Each year, I promised myself that I was going to lose weight and go down two dress sizes, so that I would look good (or at least normal) on the beach. However, it was the same story every year. Just two weeks after I’d made the resolution, I went back to my old bad habits. This year I decided to do things differently. I realized that my goal of dropping two dress sizes was unrealistic, and probably even unhealthy. When I examined my goal, I decided that it was too short-sighted to be meaningful. Why would I work so hard for just two weeks on the beach? When I thought about it, I realized it was more important to be healthy and strong than to look slim. Examining and changing my goal made a big difference. Instead of trying to lose weight, a friend and I decided we’d run a marathon in July. We planned our exercise schedule together, which was really motivating. We ate healthily, without worrying about our weight. Instead of obsessing about how we looked, we focused on our running performance. So, what happened? Not only did I manage to run the marathon, I also went down a dress size. What did I take away from this experience? What we think we need isn’t always what’s good for us. It pays to examine our goals. 56. What goal did the writer set herself every year for 5 years?

A. 　 She promised herself she’d lose weight.

B. 　 She promised herself she’d run a marathon.

C. 　 She promised herself she’d eat more healthily.

D. 　 She promised herself she’d spend more time on the beach.

3-1 Internships are a great way for graduates to get valuable work experience. However， they don’t always go smoothly. To find out more about potential internship problems， and how to solve them， read on. Being given trivial work For ambitious interns， being given small tasks such as making tea can be very frustrating. Just remember that all tasks， no matter how small， are important to your company’s success. Complete these tasks as well as you can—you will soon be given more interesting things to do. Feeling worried about asking questions It can be hard to ask questions when everybody else seems to know exactly what they＇re doing. However， everybody knows that you are an intern and they do not expect you to know everything. So， focus on what you need to know and ask the questions you need to ask. Getting too much work Some companies hire fewer interns than they need. This can result in your feeling overworked. Speak to your manager if think you have too much to do. Perhaps the problem is your poor time management skills， and in this case， your manager will help you to become more organized. Or， if you have been given too much work， they will try to reduce it. Finally remember that starting a new job is always challenging， but with time it becomes easier. Keep a positive attitude and you will soon settle into your new role. 25. According to the writer， what should you do if you feel your workload is too heavy?

A. 　 Work on developing your time management skills.

B. 　 Try to have a more positive attitude.

C. 　 Wait and see if things improve after a while.

D. 　 Speak to your manager.
