1 . If you need to interview someone for an article but you've never interviewed before, it can be challenging. Here are some tips for preparing for and holding a successful interview.

    1     If the person is a known author or speaker, take time to read or listen to his or her work. Next, write down a list of questions beforehand and consider how the conversation might flow from one point to the next. Then, remember to bring voice recording equipment to the interview.    2    This will also make it easier to include direct quotes when you start writing.

Start by asking your interviewee what he or she does that's relevant to the topic at hand. You should make eye contact with him or her and pay close attention to what he or she is saying. And try to use it to think of more questions. At the same time, you should remember to make it more a conversation than a list of questions.    3    Avoid just reading your questions to the interviewee.

In order to get the information you need, you should control the interview, if the interviewee changes suddenly from one line of thought to another. Lead him or her back to the area you're focusing on.    4    

Try to go into deeper discussion. Experienced interviewers will ask their interviewees about their personal thoughts and reactions to the events and people they deal with.    5    And they are important to an article.

A．Politely ask if you can interview them.

B．Tells them what your article will be about.

C．Do your homework before meeting the interviewee.

D．Personal preferences usually draw interesting and meaningful response.

E．This way you can focus on the interview rather than writing things down.

F．Guide the interview but don't cut in on them with question after question.

G．Use your prepared questions as a guideline to make a natural conversation.

5 . Choosing the right job is probably one of the most important decisions we have to make in life, and it is frequently one of the hardest decisions we have to make. One important question that you might ask yourself is: “How do I get a good job?”    1    .

There are people who can answer an insignificant advertisement in the local paper and land the best job in the world; others write to all sorts of places all over the country, and never seem to get a reply at all. Still others believe that the in person, door-to-door approach is by far the best way to get a job; and then there are those who, through no active decision of their own, just seem to be in the right place at the right time.     2    . He used to spend a lot of his free time down by the sea watching the tall ships, but never thinking that he might one day sail one of them. His father was a farmer, and being a sailor could never be anything for the boy but an idle dream. One day, on his usual wandering, he heard the captain of the ship complaining that he could not sail because one member of his crew was sick. Without stopping to think, the lad (少年) offered to take his place.     3    .

    4    . If the lad had gone home to ponder (考虑) his decision for a week, he may have missed his chance. It is one thing to be offered an opportunity; it is another thing to take it and use it well.

Sometimes we hear stories about people who break all the rules and still seem to land plum jobs (美差). When you go for a job interview or fill out an application, you are expected to say nice things about the company to which you are applying.     5    . And within a year this person had become general manger of the company.

A．This story also illustrates the importance of seizing an opportunity when it presents itself.

B．People find jobs in an infinite number of ways.

C．it’s almost impossible to find a good job by answering advertisement in newspapers

D．Take for example the young man who wanted to be a sailor.

E．But there was one person who landed an excellent job by telling the interviewer all the company’s faults.

F．He spent the rest of his life happily sailing the ships he had always loved.

G．It is very important to seize an opportunity when it presents itself.

7 . What should you think about when trying to find your career？You are probably better at some school subjects than others.These may show the strengths that you can use in your work.A boy who is good at mathematics can use that in an engineering career. A girl who spells well and likes English may be good at office work.So it is important to know the subjects you do well in at school.On the other hand，you may not have any specially strong subjects but your records show a general satisfactory standard.Although not all subjects can be used directly in a job，they may have indirect value.A knowledge of history is not required for most jobs but if history is one of your good subjects you will have learned to remember facts and details.This is an ability that can be useful in many jobs.

Your school may have taught you skills，such as typing or technical drawing，which you can use in your work.You may be good at metalwork or cookery and look for a job where you can improve these skills.If you have had a part­time job on Saturdays or in the summer，think what you gained from it.If nothing else，you may have learned how to get to work on time，to follow instructions and to get on with older workers.You may have learned to give correct change in a shop，for example.Just as important，you may become interested in a particular industry or career you see from the inside in a part­time job.

Facing your weak points is also part of knowing yourself.You may be_ all_ thumbs when you handle tools；perhaps you are a poor speller or cannot add up a column of figures.It is better to face any weakness than to pretend they do not exist.Your school record，for instance，may not be too good，yet it is an important part of your background. You should not be apologetic(认错的)about it but instead recognize that you will have a chance of a fresh start at work.
