How to Answer the Interview Question “Tell me about yourself”
It's often the first thing that hiring managers ask candidates in job interviews.__24__ Unsurprisingly, most of us have a really hard time summarizing our careers, skills, and interests in the conversation with the hiring managers.But having a job search “elevator pitch” is a really important part of acing the interview.“People make it worse all the time,” says career experts.__25__ And they said that the whole speech shouldn't take more than the time it takes to ride an elevator—30 seconds or less, in other words.
1.Focus on what they need.
When you're trying to sell yourself to a prospective employer, it's tempting to concentrate on what you think your greatest strengths are.In fact, you're probably better off if you figure out how to tailor your description of your experience to what the employer actually needs.__26__ They'll hire you because you solve a problem or fulfill a desperately needed function.
2.Edit your speech.
Be prepared to go through your speech many times before you hit on the right one.__27__ Consult a specialist to give you some advice on how to tell about yourself
in front of a hiring manager if necessary.
3.Do more practice.
Practice on your own in front of a mirror, or better yet, with a friend, until you can deliver your speech confidently.__28__ Ideally, it should sound clear and natural—as if you just happened to think it up on the spot, or as if it's always been a personal credo(信条).
A.The more practice, the better.
B.It's important to know what to bring to a job interview.
C.They agreed that the short, clear speech is important.
D.Don't stop editing your speech until you are satisfied with it.
E.They're not going to hire you just because you're impressive.
F.But it is also the first opportunity to really make things worse.
G.Get familiar with the job in case you are asked about it during the interview.
答案
24.F [文章第一句说明在求职面试中人事部经理第一个问的问题经常是“介绍一下你自己”,空格处所说明的应该是“这也是第一个让面试者把情况弄糟的问题”。 But it is also the first opportunity与前面一句中的It's often the first thing that相对应。故选F。]
25.C [由空格前面的“elevator pitch”以及空格后面的the whole speech shouldn't take more than the time it takes to ride an elevator—30 seconds or less可知,介绍自己时应该简短、清楚明了。故选C。]
26.E [根据下面一句中的They'll hire you because...可知,前面一句应该表达的是他们(人事部经理)不准备雇佣你的理由是什么。故选E。]
27.D [本段标题为Edit your speech.选项D中的Don't stop editing your speech...提示了D项符合标题内容。故选D。]
28.A [本段标题为Do more practice.选项A说明“练习越多,越好”,符合标题内容。故选A。]

“Google Inc has stepped up efforts to digitize(使数字化) dozens of historical newspapers and make the scanned(扫描的) old newspapers available online”, the Internet search leader said on Monday.
In a blog post on the Silicon Valley-based company's website, Google said it is looking to make old newspapers searchable online by partnering with newspaper publishers to digitize millions of old newspapers.
The effort involves the archives of dozens of newspaper titles and expands on a two-year-old effort by Google to work with two major U.S.newspapers—The New York Times and Washington Post—to index old papers in Google News Archive.
“Not only will you be able to search these newspapers, you'll also be able to browse(浏览) through them exactly as they were printed—photographs, headlines,
articles, advertisements and all,” Google product manager Punit Soni said in the blog post.
Many newspapers joined in the activity,__which range from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, “the first newspaper West of the Alleghenies”, to the Quebec Chronicle-Telegraph, which has continuously published for 244 years, making it North America's oldest lasting paper.All these newspapers will appear online.
The newspapers online allow readers to see how newspapers of the past days covered historical events.As an example, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette's coverage(覆盖) of Neil Armstrong's (and Edwin Aldrin's) 1969 moon walk can be found at tinyurl.com/man-on-the-moon/.
The first newspaper partners for the digital old newspapers program are located in the United States and Canada, a spokesman said.“The goal is no different than Google Book Search,” company spokesman Gabriel Stricker said, referring to Google's broad-based effort to work with major academic libraries around the world to scan older, out-of-print books.“It is just getting a lot of published offline content online.”

Charlie Chaplin was born in a poor family on April 16, 1889.He started working in a film factory when his brother Sydney got him a job with the Karno Company in England.He never had a chance to act in films.But the chance came at last.Because one of the actors was seriously ill one day, he first concertized in a film in place of him.
After his mother's death he came to the United States and joined Mack Sennet's Keystone Studio.Sennet was famous for his slapstick comedies (打闹喜剧).Then Chaplin worked for Essenay where some of his best-known work was done.
Along the way Chaplin did something that made him a famous artist worldwide.He “invented” the Tramp (流浪汉) who wore a funny hat, vest (背心) that was too small, shoes that were too big, a brush-mustache, and carried a stick.The clothes seemed to produce the character.He remembered the walk of a man in his childhood and copied it.The character made him well-known until 1940 when he did his first sound film.Even though he did a small amount of work without the Tramp clothes he will always be remembered for that character.
Because Chaplin began his life in a poor family, he always connected with the common men, even when he had become very famous.His films The Gold Rush, The Kid, and City Lights are considered to be the most famous films in the world.Queen Elizabeth Ⅱ awarded Chaplin Knight (爵士) in 1975 for his contribution to filmmaking.
Chaplin's health began to fail slowly in the late 1960s after he finished his final film A Countess from Hong Kong.By 1977 he could no longer communicate with others.He died in Switzerland on December 25, 1977.
25.The underlined word “concertized” in Paragraph 1 has the closest meaning as ________.
A.introduced B.acted
C.disappeared D.served
答案 B [词义猜测题。根据画线单词后面的in a film可知画线单词的意思应该是“表演;演出”,故B正确。]
26.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A.Charlie Chaplin became famous for slapstick comedies
B.Charlie Chaplin was a tramp before he was famous
C.the first sound film appeared in the nineteenth century
D.Charlie Chaplin became an actor by chance
答案 D [推理判断题。根据第一段最后一句可知,是一个偶然的机会使Charlie Chaplin成为一个电影演员。]
27.What made Chaplin famous according to the passage?
A.His humorous words. B.His especial appearance.
C.His funny action. D.His slapstick comedies.

28.The last film Charlie Chaplin made in his life is ________.

C.City Lights D.A Countess from Hong Kong
答案 D [细节判断题。根据最后一段第一句可知Charlie Chaplin所拍摄的最后一部电影是D。]
