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.

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. 26. What did the writer notice on the first day of her new job?

A. 　 Her colleagues were very friendly.

B. 　 Her colleagues were dressed very casually.

C. 　 Her colleagues seemed to be overworked.

D. 　 Her colleagues were often late for work.

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. 84. What does the writer suggest you do with your favourite song?

A. 　 Play it every day before your interview.

B. 　 Play it after your interview， if things have gone well.

C. 　 Play it the night before your interview.

D. 　 Play it on the morning of your interview.

34. I＇m fed _______ with my job. I think I need to do something different.

A. 　 then

C. 　 through

2. Nowadays social media is a key element in the job search.

5-2 We all know that employers check out the social media accounts of potential candidates， but did you know that they also look at staff accounts? Three months ago， I had just started a job in a restaurant. The first Saturday I worked there we had a staff shortage as quite a few people were off ill. At lunch time， I was left to serve about 20 customers by myself! As you can imagine， service was slow， and a few customers were quite rude to me. By the end of the day， I had a terrible headache， sore feet and was in a very bad mood. I just wanted to let off some steam， so I went home and wrote a blog post about the terrible day I＇d had. It was supposed to be funny， but I did bad-mouth some of the customers， especially a large woman wearing a purple coat who had shouted at me because her coffee was cold. Then I shared the blog post to my social media accounts. That was a big mistake. I had forgotten that I was friends with my boss on social media. Unfortunately for me， the woman in the purple coat who I had described in my blog post turned out to be his wife! I was called into my boss’ office and fired the next day. What did I learn from this? Never write anything negative about your work on social media: it will always come back to bite you. 46. Choose the best title for the article.

A. 　 How to find a part-time job in a restaurant.

B. 　 How to use social media to help you find a job.

C. 　 Job hunting? Pay attention to your online footprint.

D. 　 Bad day at work? Beware of letting off steam!

4-1 Do you often feel stressed out on a Sunday night? Do you dream of how much better your life would be if you had a different job? And are you jealous of your friends’ careers， which always sound much better than yours? If you recognise any of the above， you probably need a career change. The question is， how are you going to go about getting one? First of all， think about what you’d rather do. Deciding what you like and dislike in your current job is a good starting point. Once you have a good idea of what you want to do， it＇s time to upgrade your skill set. Think about what you are able to do and how this matches the career you are interested in. For example， you may be interested in a career as a tour guide. Which skills does a tour guide need? Which of these do you have， and which do you need to work on developing? Finally， set yourself some goals， both long and short term. Write a list in which you include your goals for the year， the next six months and then the next six weeks. It can be a good idea to share the goals you have made with a friend， as this can help you to stay motivated. Changing your career is not always easy， but life is too short to stay in a job which does not make us happy and which does not fully utilise our skills. 35. Why should you share any goals you make with a friend?

A. 　 Your friend can tell her boss， and it might help you find a job.

B. 　 Your friend might have the same goals as you.

C. 　 This will help you to stay motivated.

D. 　 Your friend may be able to help you find better goals.

8-1 Sometimes, interviewers will ask questions to find out more about the skills you have. For example, employers might want to see if you are a good team worker or if you are able to solve problems. A good way to answer these questions is with the STAR acronym. STAR stands for Situation, Task, Action and Result. Here is how this works. Imagine you are asked to talk about a time you showed leadership skills. Using the STAR technique, you might say something like: “Two years ago I was made captain of the basketball team. We had a big competition coming up, and the team hadn’t won a match in ten years. I decided to start an intensive training program. We trained every night for three hours. It was hard work, but I motivated my team members by giving them small rewards, like candy, when they scored a basket. In the end we won the competition and now we’re the most successful basketball team in our city!” The story is a good example of the STAR technique. It describes the situation (being captain of the basketball team) the task (having to win the competition) the action (motivating the team) and the result (winning). It’s impossible to predict exactly what you’ll be asked at an interview, but If you practice talking about some of your work and study experiences using the STAR technique, your answers will be well-structured and more likely to make a good impression.72 What kind of questions should you use the STAR technique to help you answer?

A. 　Questions about your personal information， e.g.: date of birth

B. 　Questions about the skills you have

C. 　Questions about your qualifications

D. 　Questions about your plans for the future

1-1 How to make the most of a career fair. If you get the opportunity to go to a career fair， you should make the most of it. Career fairs are a great way to speak to different employers. So， how can you take advantage of all that is on offer? The first thing you should do is to prepare yourself. Find out which organizations are going to be there and do your research. Make sure you know who you want to speak to and think about what you want to say. You should also prepare an up-to-date copy of your résumé to show to anyone who might be interested in your skills and experience. On the day of the career fair， you should make the right impression. You don’t have to wear your best suit， but dressing smartly will show that you are professional. If you think of the fair as an interview， then it’s more likely you’ll get one in future. It’s a good idea to arrive early on the day of the career fair. This can mean you don’t have to stand in a long queue. However， staying around until the end of the fair means you may have the chance to speak to an employer one to one. Finally， don’t forget to follow up on any interesting people you meet at the fair. If you’ve spoken to an employer， try to connect with him / her online. Stay in touch with potential employers and they will be reminded of who you are and what you can offer. 2.
