7-1 Have you been invited to an online interview? If so， it’s very important to look professional and make a good impression. If you want to find out how you can do this， read on! First of all， even though you are not meeting the interviewer face to face， you still need to look smart. Make sure your hair is brushed and your face is clean. You might need to walk away from the camera to get something， so make sure you are wearing nice pants and shoes too. Your background should be clear and professional. You don’t want the interviewer to see your dirty washing or the remains of your lunch on the kitchen table. Have a quick video call with a friend before your interview and ask them to comment on what they see. That will give you time to make changes before your interview starts. Body language is important， so don’t forget to smile when the interviewer speaks. It can be difficult to make eye contact during an online interview: in order to do so， you will need to look at the webcam. This will show the interviewer that you are listening and paying attention. Finally， have a plan B in case the technology goes wrong， for example， moving your online interview to a telephone call. If you have a software problem which you can’t do anything about， try not to worry: the interviewer will be used to dealing with problems like this and will understand. 62.Why should you wear nice pants and shoes to your online interview?

10-2 The benefits of flexible working Many job applicants cite paid vacation, health insurance and a good salary as being most important to them in a job. However, an increasing number of employers now offer flexible working. So, what could flexible working mean for you? Put simply, flexible working means that you, the employee, have some say over when you work. This could mean working from home for some of the time, job-sharing, or working flexitime (adapting your working hours to suit your own life, for example, starting later and finishing later). Flexible working can have many benefits. For example, it can reduce the time you spend travelling to work. If you work 9 to 5 every day, you will be travelling to and from work when the roads are busy. You might be surprised at how much shorter your journey is if you travel to work at 10am instead of 8am. A flexible working schedule can reduce employees’ stress and improve their work-life balance. A recent survey in The Business Times showed that 20 percent of working people are stressed by family relationships and the difficulty of managing their personal and private lives. Working flexibly can allow employees to switch off from their work when they need to, and to spend more quality time with their families. Improved work-life balance can give you more energy, and this will make you more productive when you are at work, leading to increased job satisfaction. So, next time you are job hunting, consider adding flexible working to your wish list. 99. How can flexible working help family life?

A. 　 You will be able to take a vacation whenever you want one.

B. 　 You will have more time to do the housework.

C. 　 You will have more money to spend on your family.

D. 　 When you are with your family， you will be more relaxed.

10-1 What makes a job rewarding Not everyone wants the same things in a job. For some people， a good salary and benefits is the most important thing， while others are looking for some flexibility and the freedom to make decisions. What makes a job rewarding is very personal， but there are some common factors. Want to find out what these factors are? Then read on. For a job to be rewarding， it should not be too stressful. If you’re working long hours non-stop， you are unlikely to feel happy about your chosen career. However， a little stress at work can be a positive thing， as people feel good when they successfully meet challenges at work. Most people find caring for others rewarding. Nurses and doctors are obvious examples of caring jobs， but there are many other jobs which involve caring for other people’s well-being， for example teaching or even looking after customers in a hotel. There are jobs in every industry that involve caring for others in some way. People who find their jobs rewarding usually have positive relationships with their bosses， colleagues and customers. This doesn’t mean you have to be best friends with your colleagues. It does mean that you can turn to your colleagues for help when you need it. Finally， if you find your job difficult and can’t get any better at it， no matter how hard you try， you will probably not find your job rewarding. For a job to be rewarding， you need to feel as if you can do it well.92. What is the writer’s opinion about workplace stress?
