At any discussion of a job offer, money can be a deal-breaker. Negotiating an attractive deal, however, can be hard for many job candidates because they lack the ‘necessary skills or simply because they’re too concerned that pushing for 8 high salary can cost them the job,
These factors certainly can be hurdles (障碍), but it doesn’t mean you give up trying to get the best deal you can get. Needless to say, if money isn’t a big factor in your decision, you still need to make sure that the deal you’re accepting is fair compared to what’s offered in the market. Selling yourself short once can impact your future salaries and set you back financially.
Here are common mistakes that many job seekers commit in negotiating money.
Negotiate too early, Timing is essential in any negotiation, and negotiating a salary too early in the process can cost you dearly. Many employers, in fact, rank this as one of the biggest mistakes job candidates make. The best timing to begin a salary discussion is after you and your future employer are nearly sure that you’ve been selected for the position.
Abandon professionalism. It’s common that people, after going through a long job interview process, can be shocked that the salary offered is significantly below their expectations. If you find yourself in this situation, don’t abandon your professional attitude or lose temper. This likely will get you nowhere except the door.
There’re two options to this situation; the first is that the employer is inflexible about the budget, and in this case, you may just leave and make a graceful exit from the hiring process.
The second option is that there’s some negotiation room for the hiring manager with other decision makers in the organization. If this is the case, you may be surprised that a final push with a positive attitude and a well-delivered presentation about your skills and market price can get you closer to your expected salary. Still, if this is not acceptable, you don’t have to take it

An animated (动画)film Coco has made a dark horse in the Chinese film box office competition at the end of these recent two years. Since its first run on Nov 24, 2017 in China, “the animation has taken in over 602 million yuan. Against the background of the Mexican holiday Dia de los Muertos, a day in memory of the dead, it centers on a 12-year-old boy named Miguel accidentally transported to the land of the dead, where he seeks his great-great-grandfather’s help to be a great musician and also return him to his family.
Coco has scored 9.1of 10 points at Chinese movie review website Douban for its warm story, popular soundtrack and, most of all, meaningful theme. However, the film wasn’t favored by Chinese moviegoers at first because of the poor translation of the film title. It was called“Xun Meng Huan You Ji”, meaning “the journey to chase dreams” in Chinese. “It’s such an improper name. The film is more than a little boy’s musical dreams—it also explores the meaning of life and death,” said a Sina Weibo user Gui Xudong. “The awful translation almost made me miss such a great film, When I first noticed its name, I thought it another Forrest Gump.” said the Sina Weibo user Xiao Pihai.
Some locations featured in the animation have gained much attention on Chinese social media platforms like WeChat and Sina Weibo. And many people expressed their hopes to visit these scenic spots in the future. Meanwhile, the film’s universal values that you should cherish your family and loved ones won much appreciation from the audiences. “The boy’s grandma Coco reminded me of my grandmother. I couldn’t help but sob at the cinema, ”said
the netizen Xu Lingling.
The meaning of life and death is an everlasting issue for humans. And it seems unlikely to be explored in animation, but more animated films are going in that direction. Coco tells us, “Death is not a scary thing at all, but being forgotten by others should be.” “The physical death is not the final destination. The moment when no living people remember who you are, then you have gone forever, ”is one of the most impressive lyrics in the film. 32. What does the underlined word “it”in Paragraph1refer to? A. the background B. the Mexican holiday C. the animation D. the memory of the dead
33. Coco has achieved great success at the popular Chinese movie review website mainly because of . A. interesting story B. meaningful theme C. positive energy D. popular soundtrack
34. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Xu Lingling had a low opinion of the translation of the film title. B. The film’s values won much appreciation from the audiences. C. People would rather die than be forgotten by others.
D. Many people visited these scenic locations featured in the animation. 35. What is the main idea of the passage?
A. An animated film exploring life and death wins big. B. People increasingly love cross-cultural stories. C. Profound truths are revealed in an animated film. D. Poor translation arouses debate.
