In fact one of her friends told her that the 5 only comment was:"If someone doesn't take the time to present her best 6 at an interview, what kind of 7 is she going to be?" First impressions are 8 ones. In other words, if you're viewed positively within the critical (关键的) first four minutes, the person you've met will 9 assume everything you do is positive. Leave the interviewer a bad impression, and often he will assume you have a lot of other unsatisfactory characters. Worse, he or she may not take the time to give you a second 10 .

| One evening after dinner, Mr and Mrs. Tisich called a family meeting. "We've had to make a difficult decision," Mr. Tisich announced. "You see, your mother has been offered a post as co-director of a television station in Chicago Unfortunately, the station is not here. After thinking long and hard about it,we've concluded that the right decision is to move to Chicago." Marc looked shocked,while his sister Rachel breathlessly started asking when they'd be moving. "It's surprising,but exciting!" She said. Marc simply said, "We can't go-I can't leave all my friends.I'd rather stay here and live with Tommy Lyons!" The Tisichs hoped that by the time they moved in August, Marc would grow more accustomed to the idea of leaving. However, he showed no signs of accepting the news, refusing to pack his belongings. When the morning of the move arrived, Marc was nowhere to be found. His parents called Tommy Lyons's house, but Mrs. Lyons said she hadn't seen Marc. Mrs. Tisich became increasingly concerned, while her husband felt angry with their son for behaving so irresponsibly. What they didn't know was that Marc had started walking over to Tommy's house,with a faint idea of hiding in the Lyons's attic (阁楼) for a few days. But something happened on the way as Marc walked past all the familiar landscape of the neighborhood: the fence that he and his mother painted, the tree that he and his sister used to climb, the park where he and his father often took evening walks together. How much would these mean without his family, who make them special in the first place? Marc didn't take the time to answer that question but instead hurried back to his house, wondering if there were any moving cartons (纸板箱) the right size to hold his record collection. |

| A. Marc and Rachel's different tempers B. a quarrel between Tommy Lyons and Marc C. Marc's disagreement with his parents about their move D. Mr.and Mrs. Tisich's remark of Marc's irresponsibility |

| Britain's oldest man made his first visit to London yesterday at the age of 110. Mr. John Evans had never found the time or the money-to make the trip from his home near Swansea. But, when British Rail offered him an all -expenses-paid birthday trip to the capital, he just could not refuse. Until yesterday he had never been far from home, except for one trip to Aberdeen. Mr. Evans, who spent 60 years working as a miner in South Wales, almost made the journey to London once before, at the turn of the century. "There was a trip to the White City but it was ten shillings (1 shilling=1/20 pound) return from Swansea-too much I thought. All my money went to the family then," he said. During the next two days Mr. Evans will be taken on a whistle-stop tour of London to see the sights. Top of his list is a visit to the Houses of Parliament (国会). The only arrangement he does not care for is the wheelchair provided to move him about if he gets tired. "I don't like the chair business-people will so think I am getting old," he said. His secret for a long and healthy life has been well publicized-no alcohol, no cigarette and no anger. Before setting off from Swansea with his 76-year-old son, Amwel, he quipped, "I'm glad to see they've given me a return ticket." |
