As soon as you meet, or even see, a person, you form an impression of him based on his posture, gestures and facial expressions. This is why it is important to make a good first impression on the person who will be interviewing you. Within the first 60 seconds of meeting you, the interviewer will have formed an impression about what type of person you are and what kind of employee you would become, and 55% of this will be based only on your body language. Here are some tips to make that impression a good one.

First of all, relax. Think positive thoughts and you are more likely to come across as a positive, confident person during the interview. Dress smartly, as your appearance is one of the first things an interviewer will notice you. Stand up straight, and walk in with your shoulders back and your head up. Try to avoid slowing down as you walk into the room because this suggests fear and uncertainty. Shake hands with the interviewer firmly. You should have a positive handshake and a warm smile. Opening your coat or jacket as you sit down shows that you, too, are open.

Posture is important. You should be sitting well back in your seat. Sit up straight and lean forward slightly, but not too much. Sitting at too much of an angle (角度) expresses discomfort and distrust. Tow of the most common defensive (防卫的) signals are crossing your arms and legs, so try to avoid them.

Another important issue is eye contact. Looking someone in the eye shows confidence in yourself and trust in the other person. However, don’t overdo it, as too much eye contact or staring will make the other person uncomfortable. Use more eye contact when listening than when talking, and when you look away, look down. Looking up at the ceiling will make you seem bored or rude.

Five Happiness Secrets For Tough Times

Sonja Lyubomirsky, an author, has researched the science of happiness for years.

Here are her tips to help you cope with a bad economy, and increase your bursts

of happiness throughout the day.

61. ________

“You could spend a lot of time thinking deeply,” says Lyubomirsky. “But that

just makes you feel even more pessimistic, more out of control, and effects your self

esteem. Your relationships will suffer and your job performance will suffer.”

Get rid of pessimism. One of the most effective ways to cope when things are

difficult is to adopt a positive thinking strategy. “What can I learn from this? Times

are tough, I’ve been furloughed at work, but I can spend more time with the kids,

adopt a new hobby, or learn a new set of skills.”

62. ________

Now more than ever we need each other to survive. Lyubomirsky found that doing

good things for friends, family, or strangers can make you happier. Think of practical,

everyday gestures that can make someone’s life a little bit easier. For example,

Lyubomirsky says, “Maybe now many of us can’t afford to take a cab to the airport, so

offer to give a friend a ride.”

63. ________

You don’t need an expert to tell you that relationships are critical to happiness.

Not being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to fulfill your kid’s needs can

weighh down hard on your family life. But the trick is to stop feeling guilty and focus

on caring for your loved ones.

“I was at a psychology conference where an expert was talking about the effects

of this economy on families and how parents can’t afford to buy their kids luxuries

like toys anymore,” says Lyubomirsky. “But what they don’t realize is that kids don’t

care about toys — what they care about is parents being grumpy and taking it out on

them.”

64. ________

“If you find a happy person you will find a project,” says Lyubomirsky. “Happy

people all have goals they care about.”

Commit yourself to a project – whether it is a business you want to start or a dance

you want to learn. But it’s also important to remember to be flexible in these times.

Don’t get frustrated if circumstances are stopping you from meeting your goals. Adopt

and change!

“If your spouse has lost their job you might have to change your goal,” says

Lyubomirsky. “Or you might have to learn a whole new skill for a new job.”

65. ________

When times are tough, it’s easy to get skip your regular workouts in favor of moping

in front of the TV and eating a bag of chips. Your thinking is “I have more important

things to worry about right now than looking good.”

But carve out a small part of your day to give your body some TLC. It will go a

long way in boosting your happiness. “Even if you can’t afford to go to the gym,”

Lyubomirsky says, “take time out to exercise at home.”

You don't need an expert to tell your that relationships are critical to happiness. Not

being the bread-winner anymore or not being able to fulfill your kid's needs can weigh

down hard on your family life. But the trick is to stop feeling guilty and focus on

bringing up your loved ones.

We are often asked to make a speech in life. Most of us are afraid of it and don’t do a good job. Here are some simple steps to make your speech a successful one.

Put yourself in their shoes as you prepare your speech. Then try to arrange your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible. Never forget your audience. Don’t talk over their heads or talk down to them. When you are giving your speech, speak slowly and clearly, look at your audience and pause for a few seconds from time to time to give your audience chances to think over what you’ve said. Just remember: be prepared, know your subject and your audience, say what you have to say and be yourself so that your ideas will bring you and your audience together.

Here are two letters from our readers expressing their concern about school assessment (评价):

(l)

Students should be allowed to study without worrying about grades (学习成绩). Fortunately, most educators realize that students have different interests and abilities. However, grade-based assessment is still very common. Grades often hold back creativity. Competing for better grades causes many students to turn down opportunities to go in for music, drama and sports. Grades are also an unfair measure of a student’s ability. I do not demand, as some extremists do, that grades should no longer be recorded. However, I do believe that less importance should be placed on. grades. I hope that someday grades will become optional(可选择的) at Village High School.

Magdalena Smith, President

Drama Club

(2)

Let’s face the facts about grades. Grades perform three basic functions( 功能). First, grades get students to work at their highest level of competence (能力 ). Second, they act as an encouragement for hard-working students and as a warming to those who are not. Finally, grades are an effective standard by which to measure students' achievement. Good grades help students to get jobs and to get into university.

I've spoken with a number of students who have jobs, and most of them say that they were hired mainly because of their grades. My grades helped me get a part-time job and will help me into university next year. I think grades are extremely important at Village High School.
