Often, you will be able to apply for all company positions directly from the website.‎ Job Boards and Engines If you aren’t sure what company you want to work for, you can look for job applications on job boards and job search engines. These contain job listings for positions at many ‎ different companies. Sometimes you have to go to the company website to fill out a job application. At other times, you can apply directly on the search engine or job board. ‎ In Person Applying for a job in person is a little different than applying for employment online. It’s not as complicated, but you will need to be prepared to apply and interview on the spot. You have to make sure you dress professionally, and bring all the materials you need.‎ Below is a list of sample employment applications and click to find what you want. ‎ 21.

On the Internet. ‎ B Typing with one hand when the other one is occupied can be a real pain, so imagine having to type with just one foot. It’s got to be a nightmare, but 21-year-old Hu Huiyuan from China’s Anhui‎ ‎Province is using her only functional foot to write not just a few sentences, but an entire fiction novel!‎ Born prematurely(过早地),Hu was diagnosed with cerebral palsy(脑瘫)when she was only 10 months old. This left her permanently paralyzed—the only parts of her body she can move are her head and left foot. As she grew older, she learned how to perform everyday tasks using her foot.‎ Despite not having received formal education, Hu is surprisingly well-spoken. Over the years, with the help of her mother, she taught herself to read and write. “I’m not a genius, but I’m very focused,” she said, modestly. “When I watched TV in my childhood, I often learned words on the screen.”‎ ‎“When I was teaching her how to speak, I had to repeat every single word a thousand times before she got it, ”Hu’s mother said. “But once she mastered the word. I felt satisfied.”‎ With time going by, Hu’s language got so proficient that she set out to write a story about the pursuit of dreams and love. She’s doing this by typing out every single word on her computer using only one foot.‎ In spite of all these setbacks, Hu is able to type 20 to 30 words a minute. She has already written six chapters—that’s 60,000 words—and says she only has two more chapters to go before the novel is complete.‎ ‎24.According to Hu Huiyuan, she learned to read and write well because_____.‎ A. her mother taught her B.she concentrated on what she did ‎ C.she often watched TV D. she had a gift for language ‎25.What do you think of Hu huiyuan’s mother?‎ A.

C. skillful. D. satisfying.‎ ‎27.How many chapters does her book consist of?‎ A. Two. B. Four. C. Six. D. Eight.‎ C China’s women’s swimmer Fu Yuanhui has created a sensation(轰动) online not just by winning the bronze medal in the ‎100m backstroke(仰泳) competition, but also by her facial expressions during the post-semifinal interview with China Central Television (CCTV) on Monday.‎ Fu swam into the women’s ‎100m backstroke final with 58.95 seconds I n the semifinal, setting her personal best in the game. When t he CCTV reporter informed her about the lap time, Fu’s eyes suddenly widened and said: “I am very satisfied with my performance and I thought it was 59 seconds.”‎ When asked whether she held back for the final, Fu replied,“No, I employed my ‘prehistorical’ power.”‎ Since then, the so-called “prehistorical power” has gone viral and become a new Internet ‎ meme. The phrase originates from a Chinese fantasy drama “The journey of Flower” or “Hua Qian Gu”, and its English translation first appeared on the subtitles of CCTV news channel.‎ Meanwhile, her facial expressions have been widely shared among Chinese social media. Many Internet users have named the 20-year-old swimmer as the new generation of of “Wang Hong”, or Internet celebrity. On August 8, her latest post on her Sina Weibo, a Twitter-like social media platform, has gained more than 900,000 “likes” and 160,000 comments.‎ In the just-concluded women’s ‎100m backstroke final, Fu Yuanhui once again outdid her personal best performance with 58.76 seconds and tied for the bronze.‎ ‎“It is probably my short arms to blame. Since I employed the ‘prehistorical’ yesterday, my strength dried,” Fu said with her unique humor, as her performance was only 0.01 second behind the second place.‎ On August 9, Fu went on to compete in the finals of the 100 metre backstroke winning a bronze medal. Katinka Hosszu from Hungary took the gold medal position, while the USA’s Kathleen Baker took the silver medal. Fu Yuanhui shared the bronze position with Canada’s Kylie Masse.‎ ‎28.

He is an expert on black holes. He has put his whole life into digging into the beginning (and the end) of the universe. “My goal is simple,” Hawking once said. “It is to completely understand the universe, why it is as it is and why it is there at all.”‎ Hawking has a bad illness that stops him from moving or talking. For a period of time, he had no way to communicate except by blinking(眨眼).‎ Now he sits on a wheelchair with a computer by his side. To communicate, he moves two fingers to control the computer’s mouse. He selects his words from the screen, which are then spoken by a voice synthesizer(音响合成器).‎ ‎“I have had the disease for most of my life,” Hawking once said. “Yet it has not stopped me from being successful at my work.”‎ Although Hawking is such a disabled man, he made great achievements.

Shared bikes bring people great convenience as they provide an effective solution to the “last mile” problem. Hence, shared bikes should be left in public for next users. It is morally wrong that we take possession of one for our own selfish interest. I advocate raising our awareness of using shared bikes reasonably so that everyone can benefit from this service.‎
