3-2 Dressing for success Until recently， I had never thought about how important our work clothes are. However， this changed when I arrived for my first day of work at my new job. The first thing I noticed was that the receptionist was wearing jeans. Then I met my boss， who was wearing shorts and trainers. Most of my other colleagues were similarly dressed. At first， I felt happy to work in such a relaxed environment， but after a few days， I realized something. People were always checking their social media and eating food at their desks. One colleague even fell asleep sometimes. I am ambitious， and this wasn’t the way I wanted to work. Then I had an idea. I had read about how wearing smart clothes can make people work harder， and I wanted to see if it was true. I remembered that some workplaces let staff come to work in casual clothes on Fridays. I suggested to my boss that our workplace do the opposite， asking staff to dress smartly on Fridays. The first “dress smart” Friday my colleagues looked so smart! And guess what? They seemed to work harder too. Suddenly， it felt like that my workplace was a more energetic place to be. My colleagues noticed the difference—and so did my boss， because three Fridays later， she suggested staff come to work smartly dressed every day. Now my colleagues and I always dress smartly， and as a result， I think our team is happier and more productive.30. How has the writer’s workplace changed?

7-2 My life as a pet food tester When I tell people that I work as a pet food tester， I get a lot of different responses. Some people laugh， some look disgusted， and others ask me what the food tastes like and how much of it I have to eat. It certainly is an interesting job. However， it’s also a job which needs a high level of skill and qualifications. I have a degree in nutrition， so I know about the kind of food that pets need to stay healthy. An important part of my job is writing reports about the food I taste and making suggestions about how it can be improved. Tasting the food is just one part of what I do. How do I go about tasting the pet food? First of all， I smell it carefully. The food has to smell nice， otherwise the animals won’t want to eat it. Also， pet owners don’t want bad-smelling food in their homes! After smelling the food， I taste it. I keep it in my mouth for a few minutes， taking notes on how it tastes and how it feels in my mouth. It’s really important the food tastes good. If I don’t like it， then probably the animals won’t like it either. The food isn’t the best part of my job， but there are other perks—like the salary. I earn $50， 000 a year. Now that leaves a good taste in my mouth! 68. When doing his/her job， what does the writer do first?

2-2 What to do after an interview There are many articles telling you how to prepare before an interview， but there is less advice about what to do afterwards. However， what you do after an interview is really important. Not only can it help you to prepare for future interviews， but it might also help you to increase your chances of getting the job. It is very important to think about your interview performance. Write down everything you remember， especially the questions you were asked. Then think about how you answered them. Don’t use this as an opportunity to be too negative about your performance， as this will not help with your confidence. Instead， try to be honest with yourself about what you did well， and where you could improve for the next time. Write a thank-you letter to the hiring manager. Not only does this show them that you are grateful for the time they took to speak to you， it is also an opportunity to make you stand out from the other candidates. After your interview， take time to connect with your interviewer on professional social media sites. If they accept your request， it could mean that they are interested in staying in touch. Even if you do not get the job， you will have taken an important step in growing your professional network. Finally， don’t spend all your time waiting to hear how the interview went. Stay calm， focus on learning new skills and start preparing for your next interview. 16. What is the purpose of this article?
