21、The more you care about getting a job, the more you’re likely to stress over how the interview will go. Below are tips on how to succeed in your job interview.

Do your research

Always do your research on a company before an interview. 【1】. Some important information includes how financially stable the employer is and how well they treat employees. Regarding the job, look for information that can help you be more convincing about how you’d be a great fit.

【2】

Part of a successful job interview is your ability to market your experiences and skills related to the job described, and a great way to do just that is by telling stories to illustrate your experiences and successes with those skills. Stories allow you to demonstrate your personality and communication skills.

Gather your questions

If the employers wonder out loud if you have any questions for them, you simply reply “No”. 【3】 Having questions shows how interested you are in the role and that you did your homework and should be taken seriously. Prepare a list of questions you’d like answered.

Bring what you need

【4】, bring paper copies for you and your interviewer to refer to. It’s also a good idea to bring a work portfolio (文件夹) with proof of your sills and achievements. This will build your confidence and make it easier to tell your stories.

Respect the schedule

Plan to arrive for your interview 10-15 minutes before the appointed time. Arriving too early can confuse the employer and create an awkward situation. On the other hand, arriving late creates a bad first impression and you may lose your chances immediately. If you run into a problem, phone ahead at the first sign of trouble. 【5】

A．Prepare stories to tell

B．Stay positive throughout

C．That can be a big strike against you

D．At least, research information about the company and the job

E．Although you may have emailed your application to the company

F．If you are asked about a job change, or a weakness in your background

G．It shows good manners and will give them an opportunity to reschedule

22、   ExtinctionI Fear and Hope at the La Brea Tar Pits

November 10, 2016

Species extinctions happen routinely. And evolution can’t go ahead without them. Charles Darwin was the first to grasp that more adapted species appear as less-adapted species die out. But mass extinctions, which happen only rarely and wipe out large numbers of species regardless of how adapted they are, pose a different kind of challenge. Today, scientists have rung the alarm that a sixth mass extinction on planet Earth may be underway—this one caused by none other than us!

What better place to think about the role of extinction in the past, present, and future than the La Brea Tar Pits? How do the stories we tell about extinct animals and plants, and the museum exhibitions, images and films we use to remember them, shape science, laws, and policies to protect endangered species?

Join us for a lively conversation looking at endangered plants and animals, extinction, and the global consequences of mass extinction and come away inspired with new ideas and hopes for the future.

The discussion will include:

● Stewart Brand, environmental author, co-founder and president of The Long Now Foundation

● Dr. Emily Lindsey, Assistant Curator (h K) and Excavation Site Director of the La Brea Tar Pits and Museum

● Jon Christensen, environmental journalist, science writer and historian with UCLA (University of California, Los Angeles), co-founder of the Laboratory of Environmental Narrative Strategies (LENS)

● Ursula Heise, UCLA Professor of English, LENS co-founder and author of the new book Imagining Extinction: The Culrural Meanings of Endangered Species

Schedule:

6:00 pm: Doors open, tours available

7:00 pm: Discussion begins

8:30 pm: Discussion concludes

9:00 pm: Doors close

Cost: Free

Advanced reservation required.

【1】What is the program mainly about?

A.Extinctions of species. B.Mass extinctions in history

C.Some environmental books. D.Charles Danwin’s achievements.

【2】How long would the discussion part last?

A.1.0 hour. B.1.5 hour.

C.2.5 hours. D.3.0 hours.

【3】What do we know about the program?

A.A booking is needed.

B.It aims to warn people

C.It is held mainly for teens.

D.It costs only a little money.

23、“The Delta variant is the most able, fastest and fittest of the coronavirus variants,” said Mike Ryan, executive director of the World Health Organization’s Health Emergencies Program. And the USA’s top health officials said recently that the Delta variant is racing through the country and now is responsible for 83% of all USA cases. So what makes the variant so horrible？

The Delta variant was first identified in India in spring this year. In just a few months’ time，it has spread across the globe. Research from the United Kingdom shows that the Delta variant is highly contagious(传染的). It’s about 60% more easily passed from person to person than the Alpha version, which was first identified in the UK. While a single infected person might have spread older versions of the virus to two or three others, number—called the basic reproduction number—might be around six for Delta, meaning that, on average, each infected person spreads the virus to six others.

Early evidence suggests the Delta variant may cause more severe disease in people who are not vaccinated. In fact, it has raised the risk even higher, increasing the odds that an infected person would need to be hospitalized or could die from their infection by 50% compared to older variants, regardless of vaccination status.

Emerging evidence from England and Scotland, analyzed by Public Health England, also shows an increased risk for hospitalization with Delta. The Delta variant has about 15 different mutations(突变) compared with the original virus. Two of these mutations can help the virus escape the antibodies we make to fight it.

It has another mutation that is also getting researchers’ attention—known as P681R. This mutation appears to help the virus get into our cells. So it’s more likely to be in the right position to infect our cells if we come into contact with it.

P681R may also enhance the virus’ ability to unite cells together to be clumps(团块). These clumps of cells are called syncytia(合胞体). They turn into a big factory for making viruses. Scientists aren’t sure what these supersized syncytia mean exactly, but they have some theories. They may help the virus copy itself more rapidly. That may enhance the ability of the virus to transmit from person to person. At least one recent study from China supports this idea. That study tracked 167 people infected with the Delta variant back to a single case.

Scientists say that what we already know about the Delta variant makes vaccination more important than ever.

【1】Compared to the Alpha variant, the Delta variant ________.

A．leads to more variants globally

B．appeared in the USA much earlier

C．spreads more easily and quickly

D．has caused more trouble in the UK

【2】What does the underlined word “odds” probably mean？

A．significance

B．speed

C．probability

D．amount

【3】What can be learned about P681R？

A．It helps kill infected cells.

B．It needs to be studied further.

C．It helps viruses survive antibodies.

D．It can cause more mutations.

【4】What’s the main purpose of the text？

A．To give an explanation.

B．To open a discussion.

C．To make comparisons.

D．To promote a suggestion.
