The principles about applying for jobs have altered greatly lately. In the past, people preferred a hand-written application letter.However, nowadays it is becoming more and more common to apply for a job through the Internet.You can find information on the Internet about how to apply for jobs.Information can be found about how to fulfill your application letter, the clothes that you should wear and how to carry out the interview itself.

The importance of body language is often mentioned,but doesn’t always get the attention it deserves.After all,before a word has even been spoken,your body language will have already given people their first impression of you.Additionally, your body language will also give out a lot more information.Based on your body language it can be seen if you are self-confident.It can also show if you are a busy or a quiet type and it helps give an impression of whether you are speaking truthfully or not.Body language can show how ent husiastic you are and if you are a nice person.someone who will take his work seriously, but also someone who has a sense of humor and can enjoy a joke from time to time.The members of the application committee will ask you questions,but your answers won’t only be oral.The committee will not only pay attention to what you say, but also to how you say it! Body language will determine first if it ‘clicks’,and sometimes all it takes is just a few seconds.Everybody uses body language,but it takes place mostly at a subconscious(下意识的) level.Using body language appropriately, you can definitely increase your chances of getting a job.

One of our biggest fears nowadays is that our kids might some day get lost in a “sea of technology” rather than experiencing the natural world. Fear-producing TV and computer games are leading to serious disconnect between kids and the great outdoors, which will change the wild places of the world, its creatures and human health for the worse, unless adults get working on child’s play.

Each of us has a place in nature we go sometimes, even if it was torn down. We cannot be the last generation to have that place. At this rate, kids who miss the sense of wonder outdoors will not grow up to be protectors of natural landscapes. “If the decline in park use continues across North America, who will defend parks against encroachment(蚕食)?” asks Richard Louv, author of Last Child in the woods.

Without having a nature experience, kids can turn out just fine, but they are missing out a huge enrichment to their lives. Experts predict modern kids will have poorer health than their parents—and they say a lack of outside play is surely part o f it; research suggests that kids do better academically in schools with a nature component and that play in nature fosters(培养)leadership by the smartest, not by the toughest, Even a tiny outdoor experience can create wonder in a child. The three-year-old turning over his first rock realizes he is not alone in the world. A clump of trees on the roadside can be the whole universe in his eyes. We really need to value that more.

Kids are not to blame. They are over-protected and frightened. It is dangerous out there from time to time but repetitive stress from computers is replacing breaking an arm as a childhood rite(仪式)of passage.

Everyone, from developers, to schools and  outdoorsy citizens, should help regain for our kids some of the freedom and joy of exploring, taking friendship in fields and woods that strengthen love, respect and need for the landscapes. As parents, we should devote some of our energy to taking our kids into nature. This could yet be our greatest cause.

A.keep a high sense of wonder

B.be over-protected by their parents

C.be less healthy both physically and mentally

D.change wild places and creatures for  the better

26.According to the author, children’s breaking an arm is_____

A.the fault on the part of their parents

B.the natural experience in their growing up

C.the result of their own carelessness in play

D.the effect of their repetitive stress from computers

27.In writing this passage, the author mainly intends to______

A.blame children for getting lost in computer games

B.encourage children to protect parks from encroachment

C.show his concern about children’s lack of experience in nature

D.inspire children to keep the sense of wonder about things around

I am trying to muster (鼓起) the courage to toss_away my mobile phone to enjoy a more peaceful and ring-free life.

Can you imagine not having your mobile phone? In our high-tech, in-a-hurry age,  a cell-free life is a hard concept to swallow. Our mobile phones can now access the Internet,  and many people feel the need to express their every thought on their blog pages. If I gave up my cell-phone,  people would think I was mad.

I wish I had the strength to toss away my technology. I have an office phone,  a home phone,  an e-mail and if people want to contact me,  they can. If I'm out,  people can leave a message. Do they really need to find me 24/7?However,  I'm a bit like Frodo in the movie Lord of the Rings. The power of the ring is too strong and I can't let it go.

Mobile phones have become necessary tools in our busy life. For most people,  they hold all contacts and many of us don't write up address books any more. The latest phones carry our music,  pictures,  movies and everything else. We feel lost without this device and when we do misplace it,  we feel cut off from our fellow.

"Where have you been?" said a friend,  who saw me a week after I lost my cell-phone,  "I tried calling you,  but you disappeared. You disappeared off the face of the Earth." See,  when you don't have a mobile phone,  you don't exist.

I'm not really going to toss my mobile phone away,  in fact. We humans are such social animals and mobile phones serve us well. So in 2009,  I've decided not to serve my mobile phone.  Like all machines,  I can always turn it off.

28. What does the underlined phrase "toss awa y" mean?

A. give away

B. get away

C. break away

D. throw away

29. The writer mentions Frodo to________.

A. show it is difficult to get rid of the mobile phone

B. show how much he likes Frodo

C. suggest a cell-free life is what he wants

D. introduce a film ch aracter to us
