【推荐1】Interviews (面试) can be quite frightening but our tips can help you. Don’t worry — relax! Remember these things and you’ll be fine.
Be on time. Find out exactly where the interview is and how to get there. Remember that buses and trains can often be late so allow plenty of time. It’s better to be early than late.
Be prepared. Think about what the interviewer will ask you. He or she will probably ask about your qualifications (资历) and your experience but they’ll also ask you why you want the job. Think of some possible questions and prepare your answers before you go.
Wear comfortable clothes. If you wear something new it will make you feel uncomfortable. It’s best to wear something smart but something you like and feel happy in.
Make eye contact. In the interview, don't sit looking at your feet. Make sure you sit up and look the interviewer in the eye. This makes you look honest and more confident (自信).
Ask a question. It’s a good idea to ask questions at the interview. Ask about the company or the job. Prepare some questions before the interview. It makes you look more interested if you do this.

【推荐2】Getting into an air-conditioned space during extreme heat is the best way of protecting yourself against heat-related illness, Dr. Pryor says. But there are a few additional things you can do to serve the purpose.
Focus on hydrating(补水), even before you go outside
“
Go for lightweight, light-colored, and loose-fitting clothes, like a cotton shirt. Heavy, form-fitting clothing obviously won’t feel great when your skin badly needs to breathe. Meanwhile, dark-colored clothes take in the sun’s heat and make you feel hotter.
Rethink your dinner menu
Cooking meals will give off a lot of heat and can make your space even steamier.
Cut down on exercise needing great energy
“
Take a cool shower
This kind of shower has an air conditioning effect, Dr. Pryor explains.
A.Choose your proper clothing |
B.You’d better work out at a gym. |
C.Bring a change of clothes with you |
D.Cool water helps lower your body temperature quickly |
E.If you are going to be outside in high heat, start hydrating early |
F.Exercise is OK if you know how to reduce the time of the workout |

But if you keep your sense of humor (幽默感), you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes you make. Don’t be unhappy if people seem to be laughing at your mistakes.
