Questions 6~10 http://tr.hjenglish.com/
For most people, boasting about oneself does not come naturally. It is not easy or comfortable to tell someone all the wonderful things you have accomplished. But that is exactly what you need to do if you are seeking a new job, or trying to hold on to the one you have.
Of course, there is a fine line between self- confidence and arrogance, so to be successful in winning over the interviewer you must learn to maximize your accomplishments and attributes without antagonizing the interviewer. http://tr.hjenglish.com/
The natural tendency for most job seekers is to behave modestly in a job interview. To do the best job of selling yourself in an interview, you have to be prepared in advance. As part of your job- hunting check list, write down on a piece of paper your major job- related accomplishments. Commit them to memory. You will probably be pleasantly surprised to see in writing all that you have done.
By developing this list, you will have accomplished two things: the first is you will impress the interviewer by being able to talk confidently and succinctly about your accomplishments. You will not have to sit uncomfortably while you think of your successes. They will be at the tip of your tongue. Secondly, rather than dwell on your own personality characteristics, such as how hardworking or creative you are, you can discuss hard facts, such as how you saved your
employer money or an idea you developed that helped a customer man more money. When chronicling your accomplishments for the interviewer, take as much credit as you honestly can. If you developed a specific idea without help from your supervisor, it is acceptable to say that. Remember, you are at that interview to sell yourself, not your former co- workers.
However, never criticize your former employer. Sharing your negative thoughts with the interviewer is an immediate turn- off and will only brand you as a complainer and gossip, whom no one likes or will hire.
Keep in mind that the most important part of a job interview is making the employer like you and presenting yourself as the person he or she wants you to be. Consciously or not most employers tend to hire people who reflect their own values and standards. http://tr.hjenglish.com/
Once you get the job you want, boasting about your accomplishments does not stop. Although you may think all your successes and achievements are highly visible, remember that you are only one lf many people in a company. Lack of recognition is cited by a majority of discharged managers as the most frequent complaint against the former employer.
To help make yourself more visible in the company, volunteer for additional assignments— both job- related and non- business related. These could include community relations or charitable activities in which your company is involved. These types of activities may enable you to have more time and access to top executives of the company to whom you may endear yourself. You might even have the opportunity to tell them what you are doing for the company, which can never hurt.

Questions 11~15
5 Steps to Living Longer 1 Watch Your Temper
Scientists have long believed that Type A's—those people driven by ambition, hard work and tight deadlines—were most prone to heart attacks. But it's not striving for goals that leads to disease; rather, it's being hostile, angry and cynical.
Suggests Mittleman: if stress mounts so high that you begin snapping at people, “Ask yourself, Is it worth having a heart attack over this??”
2 Lighten Your Dark Moods http://tr.hjenglish.com/
for years, evidence linking depression to an increased risk of heart attack has been growing. Johns Hopkins researchers interviewed 1551 people who were free of heart disease in the early 1980s and again 14 years later. Those who reported having experienced major depression were four times as likely to have a heart attack as those who had not been depressed.
Exercise is an often overlooked antidepressant. In a study at Duke University, 60 percent of clinically depressed people who took a brisk 30- minute walk or jog at least three times a week were no longer depressed after 16 weeks. 3 Flatten That Belly
More than 50 years ago French scientist Jean Vague noted that people with a lot of upper- body fat (those who looked like apples rather than pears) often developed heart disease, diabetes and other ailments. But it wasn't until the introduction of CT and MRI scans that doctors discovered that a special kind of fat, visceral fat, located within the abdomen, was strongly linked to these diseases.
According to the National Institutes of Health, there's trouble brewing when your waist measures 35 inches or more if you're a woman, and 40 inches or more if you re a man. And that's regardless of height.
4 Limit Your Bad Habits http://tr.hjenglish.com/
Heavy drinking. Moderate drinkers may be the least likely to develop Metabolic Syndrome, while alcoholics are the most likely. In part that's because, pound for pound, they carry more abdominal fat. In one Swedish study, researchers found that male alcoholics carried 48 percent of their body fat within the abdomen, compared with 38 percent for teetotalers.
Cigarette smoking. Smoking is dangerous for reasons besides lung cancer or emphysema. Some 60 minutes after smoking a cigarette, one study revealed, smokers still showed elevated levels of cortisol, which promotes abdominal fat storage. Over- caffeinating. Moderate caffeine consumption doesn't seem to be harmful for most people. But recent studies suggest that
when men who have both high blood pressure and a family history of hypertension drink a lot of caffeinated coffee while under job stress, they may experience a dangerous rise in blood pressure.
5 Rev Up Your Metabolism http://tr.hjenglish.com/
A new understanding of how disease sets up shop in your body focuses on metabolism—the sum of physical and chemical reactions necessary to maintain life. This approach reveals that a healthy metabolic profile counts for more than cardiovascular fitness or weight alone.
As Glenn A. Gasser, professor of exercise physiology at the University of Virginia, notes, “Metabolic fitness is one of the best safeguards against heart disease, stroke and diabetes. ”
11. The phrase “snapping at” (Step 1: Watch Your Temper) is closest in meaning to __________.
(A) Judging severely (B) declaring publicly
(C) answering rudely (D) understanding wrongly
12. According to the passage, which of the following people are liable to incur and suffer from heart attacks?
(A) Those whose waist measures 35 inches or less.
(B) Those who take a brisk 20- minute walk twice a week. (C) Those who have experienced major depression. (D) Those who have been striving for goals.
13. Stress may lead to all of the following EXCEPT_____________. http://tr.hjenglish.com/
(A) hostile disposition (B) cynical behaviour (C) over- caffeinating (D) great ambition 14. According to the passage, what kind of people are teetotalers (Step 4: Limit Your Bad Habits)?
(A) Non- alcoholics. (B) Heavy drinkers. (C) Chain smokers. (D) Non- smokers.
15.Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage? (A) There is trouble brewing when your waist measures 35 inches or less. (B) Metabolic fitness might prevent people from having heart disease.
(C) Moderate drinkers may be the most likely to develop Metabolic Syndrome. (D) Moderate caffeine consumption seems to be harmful for most people. Questions 16~20
World prehistory is written from data recovered from thousands
of archaeological sites, places where traces of human activity are to be found. Sites are normally identified through the presence of manufactured tools.
Archaeological sites are most commonly classified by the activity that occurred there. Habitation sites are places where people lived and carried out a wide range of different activities. Most prehistoric sites come under this category, but habitation sites can vary from a small open campsite through rockshelters and caves, to large
accumulations of shellfish remains (shell middens). Village habitation sites may consist of a small accumulation of occupation deposit and mud hut
fragments, huge earthen mounds, or communes of stone buildings or entire buried cities. Each presents its own special excavation problems.
Burial sites provide a wealth of information on the prehistoric past. Grinning skeletons are very much part of popular archaeological legend, and human remains are common finds in the archaeological record. The earliest
deliberate human burials are between fifty and seventy thousand years old. Individual burials are found in habitation sites, but often the inhabitants
designated a special area for a cemetery. This cemetery could be a communal burial place where everyone was buried regardless of social status. Other burial sites, lik the Shang royal cemeteries in China, were
reserved for nobility alone. Parts of a cemetery were sometimes reserved for certain special individuals in society such as clan leaders or priests. The patterning of grave goods in a cemetery can provide information about intangible aspects of human society such as religious beliefs or social
organization. So can the pattern of deposition of the burials, their orientation in their graves, even family grouping. Sometimes physical anthropologists can detect biological similarities between different skeletons that may reflect close family, or other, ties.
Quarry sites are places where people mined prized raw materials such as obsidian (a volcanic glass used for fine
knives and mirrors) or copper .Excavations at such sites yield roughed out blanks of stone, or metal ingots,
as well as finished products ready for trading elsewhere. Such objects were bartered widely in prehistoric times.
Art Sites such as the cave of Altamira in northern Spain, or Lascaux in
southwestern France, are commonplace in some areas of the world, noticeably southern Africa and parts of North America. Many are caves and rockshelters where prehistoric people painted or engraved game animals, scenes
of daily life, or religious symbols. Some French art sites are at least fifteen thousand years old.
Each of these site types represents a particular form of human activity, one that is represented in the archaeological record by specific artifact and surface indications found and recorded by the archaeologist.
16.An archaeological site is defined as a place where __________. (A) some record of human activity is found (B) humans bury beloved animals
