Job interviews can be very different from country to
country. An interviewer's“body language” and questions,
and the form of an interview are not the same around the
world.
If you're at a job interview in Japan, don't look directly into the eyes of the interviewer. It is considered impolite. But if you're at an interview in the US, you should make eye contact(交流) with the interviewer. If you don't, the interviewer may think you are not sure about your ability.
In the US and some other countries, interviewers aren't supposed to ask questions about the family and personal information. In most countries, however, personal questions are very common during job interviews.
In Germany, your interview might begin with a very short conversation followed by a formal(正式的) interview. In Mexico and many other countries, the whole interview might not be formal.
75．In Japan, looking directly into the eyes of the interviewer is ________．A．boring B．impolite
C．humorous D．dangerous

“V olunteering makes you look at the world differently. You see how little things can change a person's life for the better, which makes everyone a better person.” Mason, a volunteer said.
National V olunteer Week started in 1974 and is held every April. It is a time to thank volunteers for their achievements. It is also a perfect opportunity (机会) to encourage others to take their first step toward becoming a volunteer. Making the decision to take the first step can be the biggest problem, because they often wonder if they will be able to meet the organization's expectations (期望)．Some people fear not knowing anyone else in the group. Not having enough time also prevents some from sharing their abilities.
The following tips can help if you have some of these worries.
★Start out slowly. Don't add too much pressure. Even a few hours a month can make a big difference in someone's life.
★Choose an organization with the same interests and common values.
★Take part in a training meeting for new volunteers, even if it is not asked.
★Work with a veteran volunteer. He volunteered a lot，so he can help you increase the confidence and completely understand the organization's expectations.
★Invite a friend or family member to serve. It is a good experience to volunteer with them.
★Finally, it is most important to enjoy the volunteer experience and to remember that not all volunteer experiences are perfect. If one experience doesn't work, don't give up and you'll surely find the right opportunity.
Spend some time on volunteer work and you will see great changes in people's lives. As Mason discovered during his volunteer experience, “…little things can change a person's life.”
79．V olunteering can help ________．
A．make a decision B．see the world clearly
C．thank other people D．make a person's life better
80．What could be the reason to stop people taking the first step?
A．They don't have enough time.
B．They are prevented by their families.
C．They fear that their abilities are shared.
D．They don't expect to become volunteers.
81．Which of the following can help people take the first step?
A．Starting out quickly.
B．Organizing a party.
C．Inviting a friend to be with them.
D．Joining in a group with different values.
82．What is the main idea of the passage?
A．To tell people to make changes in their lives.
B．To encourage people to start their volunteering.
C．How to make great achievements in volunteering.
D．How to keep on volunteering whatever happened.

A city in California has got some new buses. They cost $490，000 each. The new buses are different from the old ones. These new buses are better for the environment. They are called hybrid(混合动力)buses. They run on diesel(柴油的)and electric(电的)power. This will help keep the air cleaner.
