No one wants to look silly or do the wrong thing at a new job. It is important to make the right impression from the very first day. You will face new people. You will be in a new place. It may be difficult to know what to do. Here are five tips to help you make it through the first days at a new job:
First impressions can last forever: Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day, find out if your new job has a dress code. If so, be sure to follow it. No matter what, always be neat and clean.
Get to work in time: Give yourself an extra 15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time.
Pay attention to introductions: One of the first things that your supervisor may do is to introduce you to co-workers. These co-workers will be important to you. They are the ones who will answer your questions when the boss is not around.
Ask plenty of questions: Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you. If he or she has not told you your duties, ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals for yourself.
Never be the first one to leave: Observe what your co-workers do around quitting time. It does not look good for you to be eager to leave.

Apple has entered the textbook market. The tech giant introduced iBooks textbooks a couple of weeks ago when it announced its iBooks 2 platform.  They are digital books in a variety of subjects from astronomy to zoology taking in science, maths, history and geography. Apple developed its iPad-based textbooks in connection with major textbook publishers. The company offers a collection of textbooks for high school students.

It sounds like good news for pupils and students. Think of it. No more _________________full of textbooks. Every textbook you require can be stored on your iPad. Of course there’s a catch. You need to own an iPad and as you know, it is not cheap. You also need to buy digital textbooks, mostly priced each at $14.99 (94.74 yuan) or less. Textbook publishing was worth $8.7 billion in the US alone last year. Will digital books take over completely in education? Is learning going to evolve into something we do on an electronic tablet computer? That remains to be seen.

1.What’ s the main idea of the text?  (no more than 10 words)

______________________________________________________________________________

2.Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words. (no more than 3 words)

______________________________________________________________________________

3. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 1 refer to? (no more than 3 words)

______________________________________________________________________________

4.What are the advantages of iBooks textbooks? (no more than 15 words)

______________________________________________________________________________

5.Do you think digital books will replace traditional books in the future,why or why not? (no more than 25 words)
