| Much has been written about body language during a job interview. Experts from across many fields are full of advice on just how to present your best performance in an interview using conscious (自觉的) body language choices.

| I was born in Rockville, Maryland into an immigrant (移民的) family that came to America from Mainland China in the 1940's. Last summer, I was in Beijing to work at the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention. For 20 years I was regarded as Chinese or Asian in America. So answering the question "Where are you from?" in China with "United States" was a little uncomfortable, sometimes for both sides. Some co-workers were surprised at my use of chopsticks and my taste for Chinese food, as if being "American" could only mean eating at McDonald's. Luckily, I was not always looked on as an American. One afternoon, I took a bus back to my apartment. A local (当地人) was talking with a white American in English. When the American got up at his stop, I took his seat and heard the local's conversation with a friend sitting on the other side of her. The local told her friend she often talked with foreigners and that was the best way to learn spoken English. Meanwhile, I sat there and wanted to tell her that an American was still next to her. Then I received a call from a friend about meeting up to watch Peking Opera the next day. When I hung up my cellphone, the woman sitting next to me asked for how long I had been learning English in order to speak it that well. She was a bit disappointed at my answer that I was born in the US, but the question led to an interesting conversation on language learning. |

| When I started teaching at school, I was sure I would change the world and touch children who needed love. Although my students seemed to respond pretty well to my teaching, there was a small group of girls who became more and more hostile (敌对的) towards me. One day a fight happened in my classroom. Attempting to end it, I stepped in (居中调停) to face one of these hostile young women, who started hitting me in the face. Two boys jumped up to control the girl, but the damage was done. While the girl was suspended (暂时停学) for a few days, I was determined that she would not return to my classroom. But I also prayed. I wanted to see all the students right there in my daily work at school. On the top of my daily lesson-plan book, I wrote this statement, "To see all the children in my classroom is always beautiful." With this view I could expect to heal any anger towards the girl in my heart. After her suspension, she returned to my classroom. The student's young mother was trying to raise six children while her husband was away in the war. The mother and I agreed to work together to help her oldest daughter. There were no more incidents of anger the rest of the year. In fact, in the seven years I remained at that school, I taught all six of this family's children. When the youngest was in my class, the mother told me, "Our family loves you. Every year one of my kids says, 'I hope I'm in her class!'" The standard of seeing each of my students as a perfect one was the best teaching tool I had, and led to success. |

| International volunteering does not only mean helping people who are in need. There are also some animals that need voluntary help. Compared to humans, animals are luckier because they do not know how to express their emotions (情感). They do not know how to express what they want and they do not know how to express what makes them hurt. Some people may think that volunteering to help animals is hard; it may be true but _____. If you volunteer to help animals in China, you can help support the endangered (濒危的) species of pandas. The country of Costa Rica offers a sea turtle conservation area (保护区). You can work on the pacific coasts or in the Caribbean and save one of the most unusual creatures in the world, the sea turtles. But if you want thrills and adventures, you can volunteer to help feed those rare white lions in the Lion Park in Johannesburg, a city of South Africa and have fun with other wild animals. You can also go to Guayaquil, Ecuador where international volunteer programs have been offered include helping animals like crocodiles. Volunteering in Malaysia is a great experience too. Taking good care of the orangutans (猩猩), feeding them right and saving them from any illness are just some of the things you can do. Aside from the countries being mentioned above, you can also volunteer in some other countries that have the same volunteer program being offered. |
| 1. List three countries that can offer animals volunteer jobs and the endangered animals there: (Please answer within 15 words.) 2. Translate the underlined sentence in this text into Chinese. 3.
