1、Finding a new job is not an easy thing to do. However, our economy is getting stronger, so now might be a good time to start looking, If you think you have the skills and abilities that employers need, there are some things you should do to prepare for the job hunt.
1、找新工作不是件容易的事。然而，我们的经济正在变强，所以现在可能是开始寻找的好时机。如果你认为自己具备雇主需要的技能和能力，有一些事情你应该做来为找工作做准备。
First, don't quit your current job until you are sure you have a new one lined up. The best time to look for a job is when you are currently employed. People who are unemployed and desperate(极度渴望的) for work sometimes make bad decisions in accepting a job offer. Consider job offers carefully. Will the new job be better than the one you are having now? What about the location? Will the commute to work be easy or difficult?
首先，在确定找到新工作之前，不要辞掉你现在的工作。找工作的最佳时机就是你目前在职的时候。失业且极度渴望工作的人有时在接受工作机会时会做出糟糕的决定。要仔细考虑工作机会。新工作会比你现在的工作更好吗？关于地点呢？上班通勤会容易还是困难？
If a person doesn't have good English skills, it's important to work on fixing that as soon as possible. It takes the average person five years to learn English really well, but for people who have lived in our country for a few years already, it might take a little less time than that. Many cities offer free English classes through the public schools, or you can learn English online. You can take classes at night or on the weekend. Good English skills usually make it easier to find a job and move up to better positions within a company.
如果一个人英语不好，重要的是尽快着手解决这个问题。普通人学习英语真正学好平均需要五年时间，但对于已经在我国生活几年的人来说，可能需要的时间会少一些。许多城市通过公立学校提供免费的英语课程，或者你可以在网上学习英语。你可以在晚上或周末上课。良好的英语技能通常更容易找到工作，并在公司内部晋升到更好的职位。

7、Working to a clear plan during an emergency will help to ensure that you are effectively prioritizing (优先选择) many demands upon your attention.
7、在紧急情况下按照清晰的计划行动将有助于确保你有效地优先处理多个需要你关注的任务。
Do not allow yourself to become distracted by non-vital activities. Always bear in mind the main steps of emergency action -- Assess, Make Safe, Give Emergency Aid, and Get Help.
不要让自己被非关键活动分心。始终牢记紧急行动的主要步骤——评估、确保安全、提供急救和寻求帮助。
Your approach should be brisk (轻快的), but calm and controlled, so that you can quickly take in as much information as possible. Your priorities are to identify any risks to yourself, to the casualty (伤亡人员), and to any other people around, then to access the resources available to you and the kind of help you may need.
你的态度应该是轻快的，但要保持冷静和控制，以便尽可能快速地获取信息。你的优先事项是识别任何对你、对伤亡人员或周围其他人的风险，然后评估你拥有的可用资源和可能需要的帮助类型。
State that you have first-aid skills when offering your help. If there are no doctors, nurses, or more experienced people present, calmly take charge. First ask yourself these questions: Is there any continuing danger? Is anyone's life in immediate danger? Are there any other people who can help? Do I need specialist help?
在提供帮助时，说明你具备急救技能。如果没有医生、护士或更有经验的人在场，冷静地接管情况。首先问自己这些问题：是否有持续的危险？是否有人处于立即的危险中？是否还有其他人可以提供帮助？我是否需要专业帮助？
The conditions that caused the accident may still present further danger. Remember that you must put your own safety first. You can't help others if you become a casualty yourself.
造成事故的条件可能仍然存在进一步的危险。记住你必须将自身安全放在首位。如果你自己也成了受害者，就帮不了别人了。
Often, very simple measures, such as turning off an electric switch, are enough to make the area safe. Sometimes more complicated procedures are required. Never put yourself and the casualty at further risk by attempting to do too much; be aware of your imitations.
通常，一些非常简单的措施，比如关掉一个电开关，就足以使该区域安全。有时需要更复杂的程序。不要试图做太多而将自己和受害者置于进一步的风险中；要意识到自己的局限性。

9、Dear Sir/ Madam,
9、尊敬的先生/女士，
I am pleased to write a letter of recommendation on behalf of Sand River and its CEO, Mrs. Jane King. I am very familiar with the company. My next book deals with it in detail, which is to be published in autumn of 2018. I am also familiar with European consumer. As a Dutch citizen, I have lived in Europe for 46 years and studied European consumer behavior for decades.
我很高兴代表桑河及其首席执行官简·金女士写一封推荐信。我非常熟悉这家公司。我的下一本书将详细探讨它，将于 2018 年秋季出版。我也很熟悉欧洲消费者。作为一名荷兰公民，我在欧洲生活了 46 年，并研究了数十年的欧洲消费者行为。
I believe that Sand River offers something unique to the European market. It has established long-term supply relations with herdsman (牧民) families and owns advanced German machinery. Thus it combines natural resources with modern manufacturing techniques. But equally important, Sand River works with modern fashion designers to create truly contemporary and appealing designs. The result is a newly-established cashmere(羊绒) brand that appeals to a target group of high-income women.
我相信桑河为欧洲市场提供了独特的东西。它与牧民家庭建立了长期供应关系，并拥有先进的德国机械。因此，它将自然资源与现代制造技术相结合。但同样重要的是，桑河与现代时装设计师合作，创造出真正当代且吸引人的设计。结果是，一个新兴的羊绒品牌吸引了高收入女性目标群体。
I met Mrs. King the first time in 2013. Since then, we have met several times and talked about Sand River’ s philosophy, strategy, and appeal to both Chinese and international consumers. I was struck by her deep knowledge about knitting (针织) technology, her enthusiasm for the brand, and her deep understanding of the cashmere shopper. I regard her as a “woman of her word”.
我第一次遇见金夫人是在 2013 年。从那以后，我们见过几次面，讨论过桑德河的哲学、战略，以及它对中国和国际消费者的吸引力。我被她对针织技术的深刻了解、对品牌的热情，以及她对羊绒购物者的深刻理解所打动。我认为她是一个“言出必行”的女人。
To summarize, I believe Sand River products deserve a place in luxurious European Department stores and Mrs. King is a reliable partner.
总而言之，我相信桑德河的产品值得在豪华的欧洲百货商店中销售，而金夫人是一位可靠的合作伙伴。
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
如果您有任何问题，请随时与我联系。
Sincerely,
此致
Joan Smith

10、The challenge of writing a powerful cover letter(附信)can lead job candidates to search endlessly for advice, but be careful. While you likely will find some valuable advice, you may come across a few tips that could mislead you.
10、撰写有力的求职附信的挑战可能使求职者不遗余力地寻找建议，但需谨慎。虽然你可能会找到一些有价值的建议，但也可能会遇到一些可能误导你的小贴士。
“ You need a lengthy cover letter.” This probably is one of the “ bad cover letter tips”. Think
“你需要一封长篇的求职信。”这可能是“糟糕的求职信建议”之一。想想
about it: hiring managers have piles of resumes and cover letters to review. If yours is longer than the rest, it might not get read at all. Aim to get all of your points across in three brief paragraphs: a clear introduction that lets employers know which job you are applying for and why you are interested in the position; a paragraph that includes a few specific examples of how you have excelled (擅长) in past roles that are relevant to the open position; and a concluding paragraph that tells employers how you will benefit their company and requests a future meeting.
关于这一点：招聘经理面前堆满了简历和求职信。如果你的篇幅比其他的长，可能根本不会被阅读。力求在三个简短的段落中传达所有要点：一个清晰的引言，让雇主知道你申请哪个职位以及为什么对该职位感兴趣；一个段落，包含几个具体的例子，说明你如何在过去的与空缺职位相关的岗位上表现出色；以及一个总结段落，告诉雇主你将如何为公司带来益处，并请求安排未来的会面。
“ Your cover letter is less important than your resume.” Some hiring managers shove (随手扔) cover letters to the side, but most do not. Because you never know what type of hiring manager you are dealing with, it is best to submit a nice cover letter. While some employers place less emphasis on cover letters, employers something that makes them want to meet you.
“你的求职信不如简历重要。”一些招聘经理随手把求职信扔到一边，但大多数不会。因为你永远不知道你会遇到什么样的招聘经理，所以最好提交一份漂亮的求职信。虽然一些雇主不太重视求职信，但他们会寻找一些让他们想见你的东西。
(1)、

A、 Some tips are not practical.

D、 It is difficult to find valuable tips.

答案：B
(2)、
Why shouldn’t you write a lengthy cover letter?
为什么不应该写一封冗长的求职信？
A、 Hiring managers may not read it at all.
A、招聘经理可能根本不看它。
B、 Well-written cover letters may be read first.
B、写得好的求职信可能会被首先阅读。
C、 It is difficult to write a good long cover letter.
C、写一封好的长求职信很困难。

11、To be a good manager, you must be careful to distinctly define the proper boundary (界限) between yourself and your staff. Here are some points to remember.
11、要成为一名好的管理者，你必须谨慎地明确界定你与员工之间的适当界限。以下是一些需要记住的要点。
1. Be clear about the relationship. To maintain the respect of your employees while being friends with them, you must be direct about the nature of your business relationship. This means being clear about what the goals are, how your employees are to help you reach them, and what they can expect from you. By communicating these things clearly, you avoid the risk that an employee can misinterpret your friendship and behave in an unprofessional manner.
1. 明确关系。要维持与员工之间的尊重，同时又能与他们交朋友，你必须明确商业关系的本质。这意味着要明确目标是什么，员工如何帮助你实现这些目标，以及他们能从你这里期待什么。通过清晰地沟通这些事情，你可以避免员工误解你的友谊，从而做出不专业的行为。
2. Be social— to a degree. In most offices, there’ s usually a lot of social networking, whether it’s a Friday lunch or drinks after work. It's natural for managers to be a part of that. Just remember to socialize (交际) with everyone, be careful with the alcohol, and don’t be the last one at the party. Also, keep socializing at the office to a minimum. You want to ensure that you are respected as well as liked.
2. 适度社交。在大多数办公室里，通常有很多社交活动，无论是周五的午餐还是下班后的饮酒聚会。管理者参与其中是很自然的。但请记住，要和每个人都进行社交，小心饮酒，不要成为派对上最后一个离开的人。此外，尽量减少在办公室的社交活动。你希望确保自己既受到尊重，又受到喜爱。
3. Don’t fake it. Maybe you want to try to be friends with all your employees, because you think that would strengthen your team. While some management training courses stress that bosses should ask their staff about their personal lives, such as their weekend plans ,their families, or their children, such efforts can backfire if the manager is viewed as not being sincere. It’s okay to ask occasional questions of staff, but don’ t make a big production out of it. Getting to know people takes time.
3. 不要伪装。也许你想和所有员工交朋友，因为你觉得这样会增强你的团队。虽然一些管理培训课程强调老板应该询问员工他们的私生活，比如周末计划、家庭或孩子，但如果经理被认为不真诚，这些努力可能会适得其反。偶尔问一下员工问题是可以的，但不要大张旗鼓。了解人需要时间。
