This is why it is important to make a good first impression on the person who will be interviewing you. Within the first 60 seconds of meeting you, the interviewer will have formed an impression about what type of person you are and what kind of employee you would become, and 55% of this will be based only on your body language. Here are some tips to make that impression a good one. ‎ First of all, relax. Think positive thoughts and you are more likely to come across as a positive, confident person during the interview. Dress smartly, as your ‎ appearance is one of the first things an interviewer will notice you. Stand up straight, and walk in with your shoulders back and your head up. Try to avoid slowing down as you walk into the room because this suggests fear and uncertainty. Shake hands with the interviewer firmly. You should have a positive handshake and a warm smile. Opening your coat or jacket as you sit down shows that you, too, are open. ‎ Posture is important. You should be sitting well back in your seat. Sit up straight and lean forward slightly, but not too much. Sitting at too much of an angle (角度) expresses discomfort and distrust. Two of the most common defensive (防卫的) signals are crossing your arms and legs, so try to avoid them. ‎ Another important issue is eye contact. Looking someone in the eye shows confidence in yourself and trust in the other person. However, don’t overdo it, as too much eye contact or staring will make the other person uncomfortable. Use more eye contact when listening than when talking, and when you look away, look down. Looking up at the ceiling will make you seem bored or rude. ‎ ‎8. The purpose of the first paragraph is to tell readers _____. ‎ A. what a good first impression is ‎ B. how to make a good first impression ‎ C. how long it takes to make a first impression ‎ D. the importance of making a good first impression ‎ ‎9. Which of the following does the author advise you to do when you are being interviewed? ‎ A. Cross your arms or legs. ‎ B. Open your coat or jacket when sitting down. ‎ C. Go into the room more slowly than usual. ‎ D. Avoid looking at the eyes of the interviewer directly. ‎ ‎10. If you lean forward too much, it means _____. ‎ A. you are very bored ‎ B. you are too nervous ‎ C. you don’t have confidence ‎ D. you don’t trust others ‎ ‎11. What is the best title for the text? ‎ A. How to use body language to win an interview ‎ B. How to answer questions in an interview ‎ C. How to understand body language ‎ D. How to deal with an interviewer ‎ D George Gershwin, born in 1898, was one of America’s greatest composers. He published his first song when he was eighteen years old. During the next twenty years he wrote more than five hundred songs. ‎ Many of Gershwin’s songs were first written for musical plays performed in theatres in New York City. These plays were a popular form of entertainment in the 1920s and 1930s. Many of his songs have remained popular as ever. Over the years they have been sung and played in every possible way — from jazz to country. ‎ In the 1920s there was a debate in the United States about jazz music. Could jazz, some people asked, be considered serious music? In 1924 jazz musician and orchestra leader Paul Whiteman decided to organize a special concert to show that jazz was serious music. Gershwin agreed to compose something for the concert before he realized he had just a few weeks to do it. And in that short time, he composed a piece for piano and orchestra which he called Rhapsody in Blue. Gershwin himself played the piano at the concert. The audience were thrilled when they heard his music. It made him world-famous and showed that jazz music could be both serious and popular. ‎ In 1928, Gershwin went to Paris. He applied to study composition (作曲)with the well-known musician Nadia Boulanger, but she rejected him. She was afraid that classical study would ruin his jazz-influenced style. While there, Gershwin wrote An American in Paris. When it was first performed, critics (评论家)were divided over the music. Some called it happy and full of life, to others it was silly and boring. But it quickly became popular in Europe and the United States. It sill remains one of his most famous works. ‎ George Gershwin died in 1937, just days after doctors learned he had brain cancer. He was only thirty-nine years old. Newspapers all over the world reported his death on their front pages. People mourned the loss of the man and all the music he ‎ might have still written. ‎ ‎12. Many of Gershwin’s musical works were ________ . ‎ A. written about New Yorkers ‎ B. Composed for Paul Whiteman C. played mainly in the countryside ‎ D. performed in various ways ‎ ‎13. What do we know about the concert organized by Whiteman?‎ A. It attracted more people to theatres ‎ B. It proved jazz could be serious music ‎ C. It made Gershwin leader of the orchestra ‎ D. It caused a debate among jazz musicians. ‎ ‎14. What did Gershwin do during his stay in Paris?‎ A. He created one of his best works ‎ B. He studied with Nadia Boulanger C. He argued with French critics ‎ D. He changed his music style ‎15. What do we learn from the last paragraph?‎ A. Many of Gershwin’s works were lost ‎ B. The death of Gershwin was widely reported ‎ C. A concert was held in memory of Gershwin D. Brain cancer research started after Gershwin’s death. ‎ 第二部分 基础知识（共30小题，每小题1.5分，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空(共20小题，每小1.5分，满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答且卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Body language is the quiet, secret and most powerful language of all!
