32、hole by doing this. When you are reading books of this kind, therefore, you will usually have to rely mainly on the context to help you. If you meet an unfamiliar word, do not let it take too much of your attention from the main thread of the story. In all probability you will meet the same word aga
33、in a few pages later on in a slightly different context, and each time you see it that your understanding of it will become more exact. 56. According to the author, “read for pleasure ” means _.

37、of Reading B American magician David Blaine left the glass box in which he had lived for 44 days without food on October 19, 2003. Hundreds of people came to watch the end of his starvation experiment, which has become one of Londons main tourist attractions. Looking thinner and darker, 30 year-old
38、Blaine was taken out of his box over the River Thames and immediately went to hospital. He was then slowly reintroduced to food, a process doctors say could be life threatening. He had been drinking only water since September 5. A native of Brooklyn, New York, Blaine first became known as a street m
39、agician in the early 1990s. He soon found himself doing magic tricks in bars for the likes of American actor Leonardo DiCaprio and his super model friends. Over the last decade Blaine has become famous with a combination of breathtaking magic and clever tricks aimed at getting a lot of attention. In
40、 1999, he was buried in a coffin (棺材) for one week and, in 2000, he spent 62 hours in a giant block of ice. Last year he stood on top of a 25-meter pillar (柱子) in the center of New York for 35 hours before jumping into a pile of boxes. “I think a lot of people are unable to accept that theyre able t

44、n, people can work a wonder. D. Blaine didnt have any food for 44 days. C The impression you make at the beginning of an interview is very important. Employers often decide to hire someone in the first three minutes of the interview. They judge you by your appearance, attitude and manners. A friendl
45、y smile when you walk into the room is important. A smile shows a confident and positive attitude. When you introduce yourself, make eye contact with the interviewer. Some interviewers offer a handshake. Others dont. Try to be as natural as possible. But pay attention to your body language. The way
46、you sit, walk，gesture, use your voice and show feelings on your face is all part of your body language. It makes the interviewer know how you feel about yourself and the situation you are in. Are you feeling positively about yourself? Your abilities? Your interest in the job? Speak clearly and loudl
47、y enough. Show interest and enthusiasm in your voice. When you speak， look at the interviewer. In addition, dont say negative things about yourself, or former employer.
