The smart job seeker needs to rid herself of several standard myths about interviewing. What follows is a list of some of these untruths and some suggestions to help you do your best at a job interview.
Myth 1: The aim of interviewing is to obtain a job offer.
Only half true. The real aim of an interview is to obtain the job you want. That often means rejecting job offers you don’t want! So, before you make it with an employer, be sure you want the job.
Myth 2: Always please the interviewer.
Not true. Try to please yourself. Giving answers that you think will suit a probable employer and practicing a policy of appeasement (讨好) are certain to get you nowhere. An effective interview (whether you are offered the job or not) is like an exciting encounter in conversation with your seatmate on an airplane.
Myth 3: Never interrupt the interviewer
An exciting conversation always makes us feel free – free to interrupt, to disagree, to agree enthusiastically. So, when interviewing, try to be yourself. Employers will either like or dislike you, but at least you’ll have made an impression. Leaving an employer indifferent is the worst impression you can make. And the way to make an effective impression is to feel free to be yourself!
Myth 4: Never express different opinions
Another silly myth. Don’t be afraid to disagree with your interviewer in an agreeable way. And don’t hesitate to change your mind. The worst that could happen would be that the interviewer says to herself “There’s a person with an open mind!”

If you think about World Heritage Sites, you probably think of places associated with ancient art and culture, historical buildings and monuments. And of course, many of these are on the World Heritage List (WHL)（世界遗产名录）. But the WHL contains a lot of sites that are not so obvious. Let's look at a few of them.
Citadel of Haiti
These monuments were built at the end of the nineteenth century when Haiti became independent and the many thousands of black slaves in Haiti were free for the first time. These ex-slaves built the monuments, which the WHL describes as “a universal symbol of liberty”.
Robben Island in South Africa
This island was used through the centuries as a prison, a hospital and a military base. But it's probably most famous as a maximum-security prison for political prisoners in the twentieth century. Nelson Mandela was one of its most famous residents. The WHL says it represents “the triumph of democracy and freedom over oppression and racism”.
The Darjeeling Himalayan Railway in India
This railway was opened in 1881 and is still operating today. It crosses a difficult area of mountain landscape and it is a great example of railway engineering. The WHL says that it is “the first, and still the most outstanding, example of a hill passenger railway”.
Borders of France and Spain
This is an area of great natural beauty and the mountains have many interesting geological formations. But it is also an area of small farms. People there still use a type of agriculture that used to be common in mountainous areas of Europe but has almost completely disappeared in modern times.
The city of Brasilia, Brazil
Brasilia is a capital city that was created from nothing in 1956. The WHL calls it “a landmark in the history of town planning”. The different areas of the city and the buildings themselves were all designed at the same time carefully. Every part of the city shows the ideas of the planner and architect.

Some beach creatures are wonderful -- like dolphins, but others are dangerous. Find out more about the dangerous ones - pufferfish, blue ringed-octopus, and stingrays.
The blue ringed octopus
The blue ringed octopus is not a very big creature but it is very dangerous. These octopuses are found all around Australian coast. They often lie in rock pools close to shore. The blue ringed octopus is usually a dull colour but it shows its bright blue rings when it is in danger. If it is taken out of the water it is able to bite a person and poison them. If this creature bites someone they will feel numbness (麻木) around the mouth, face and neck.
Puffer Fish
Puffer Fish are found in all Japanese seas. They are very easy to catch but must not be eaten because their flesh and internal organs contain a poison. Anyone who does eat the flesh can become sick very quickly. They may even stop breathing.
The Blue Bottle
The Blue Bottle is found in most Caribbean waters. Blue Bottles float lightly on the surface of the water but their tentacles (触须) can be as long as 10 metres. Blue Bottles are much less dangerous than some other jellyfish but they can give a swimmer a bad sting (刺) if the swimmer accidentally touches them.
Stingrays
There are many different kinds of stingrays in Mauritius waters. They usually swim and feed on the bottom of the sea. Accidents can happen if people stand on them or try to pick them up. Stingrays have a sting on their tail. These stings have poison on them. If someone is stung the wound can easily become infected.

Mountain climbing as a form of recreation began in Europe in about 1880. In 1857, a group of mountaineers founded the Alpine Club in London. The club was the first to promote mountain climbing as an organized sport. The most famous climb in mountaineering history took place in 1953. In that year Sir Edmund Hillary of New Zealand and Tenzing Norgay of Nepal reached the top of Mount Everest, the world's highest mountain.
There are three basic forms of mountain climbing: ( 1 ) rock climbing, (2) snow and ice climbing, and ( 3 ) mixed climbing. Each has its own special equipment and techniques.
Rock climbing?means climbing up the rock cliffs and mountains. Rock climbing is popular with beginning climbers, who generally practice on nearby cliffs that are not too difficult. Rock climbers must learn the proper use of basic equipment, including ropes and such specialized devices as pitons (岩钉), snap links (扣), and chocks（防滑楔子）.
Snow and Ice Climbing include climbing in winter on glaciers（冰河）, in ice gullies（峡谷）, or on slopes（斜坡）covered with snow and ice. Beginners must learn to use crampons（钉鞋）, which serve the purpose of gripping（抓紧）ice or hard snow. Climbers should also understand what happens to ice and snow under various conditions.
Mixed Climbing combines elements of rock climbing and snow and ice climbing. Mountaineers must face rough rocky land as well as snow and ice and risky slopes. As a result, mixed climbing requires the most experience. Certain routes on Mount Mckinley in Alaska and Mount Rainer in Washington are examples of mixed climbing.

You are what you eat so maybe it's time you started eating sensibly. Experts at the first Chinese Students Nutrition and Health Festival in Kunming last week singled out (挑选) several bad eating habits.
●Watching television while having meals or snacks (零食).
Doing this means you don't pay attention to your food, forget how full you are, and so overeat. It can also cause digestion (消化) diseases. One way to avoid this is only to eat in certain areas of your home.
● Replacing meals with snacks.
Many students think that eating small snacks can help them diet. But it often results in overeating and health problems related to a lack of vegetables, carbohydrates (碳水化合物), proteins and vitamins. Snacking only works if it is well planned and includes healthy foods such as nuts, vegetables, fruit and yogurt (酸奶).
●Having drinks rather than water.
Fizzy (有气泡的) drinks and fruit juice are usually high in calories and sugar, which can cause weight problems. Water is important in making your brain cells and every organ in your body work properly. For your body to burn fat, it needs at least eight glasses of pure water a day. Liquids like soda (苏打水) and coffee actually take water away from your body.
● Choosing meat and certain vegetables over others.
Different foods provide different kinds of nutrition. If you don't have a balanced diet, this can result in malnutrition (营养失调) and a weaker body.
● Eating throat tablets (润喉片) as if they were sweets.
If you eat throat tablets when you have no throat disease, they may affect the bacteria (细菌) in your mouth and cause real throat problems.

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems．For example，too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of a country．If tourists create too much traffic，the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy．They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely．They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy．It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them．Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists．Tourism should also advance the well-being of local inhabitants．
Too much tourism can be a problem．If tourism grows too quickly，people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry．This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer．
On the other hand，if there is not enough tourism，people can lose jobs．Business can also lose money．It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels，airports，first-class roads，and other support facilities needed by tourist attractions．For example，a major international-class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build．If the room is not used most of the time，the owners of the hotel lose money．

Most Americans have a city they like best. Over the years, American songwriters have described these feelings in music. More songs have been written about America's biggest city, New York, than about any other city. Many others dream about leaving their small towns to go there. They want to become rich and famous. Frank Sinatra sings about this dream in the most popular song written about New York. Almost three-million people live in the middle western city of Chicago, Illinois. It is now America's third largest city. It used to be the second largest city. So, of course, it needed its own song. Judy Garland sings the song, "Chicago, Chicago. "
One of America's most exciting cities is Las Vegas, Nevada. In nineteen-sixty-four, Elvis Presley starred in a movie called "Viva Las Vegas." Here is the song from that movie. It is sung by the group Z-Z Top.
As we all know, one of the most beautiful cities in America is San Francisco, California. The most popular song about the city is called "I Left My Heart in San Francisco." Tony Bennett recorded it in nineteen-sixty-two. It sold more than three-million records.
Many people love Los Angeles, California. It is now America's second largest city. Los Angeles is popular because the weather is warm and the sun shines almost all the time. Randy Newman sings about his feelings for the city in the song, "I Love L.A." Not everyone, however, loves Los Angeles. Some people do not like all the big roads around the city. They like living in a smaller place. A place like San Jose, California. Dionne Warwick sings about going back to this city. The song is, "Do You Know The Way To San Jose."
