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. 85. According to the article， what’s the best way to think about the interview?

A. 　 As an opportunity to learn and get experience

B. 　 As a kind of test to see what you are worth

C. 　 As a chance to get something you really want

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. 76. Which of the following sentences best sums up the writer’s opinion about vacations?

A. 　They cost businesses a lot of money， and they are bad for the economy.

B. 　They’re necessary， but employees need to be careful they don’t fall behind with work.

C. 　They’re a positive thing， as long as employees aren’t away too regularly.

D. 　They’re good for individual employees and， in the long term， they’re good for business.

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. 60. In addition to running the marathon, what did the writer achieve?

A. 　 She went down a dress size.

B. 　 She went down two dress sizes.

C. 　 She ran the marathon in record time.

D. 　 She became much stronger.
