When it comes to applying for a new job, your CV is the ticket to secure an interview and hopefully, a job. Read the following tips to help you get started in creating a successful CV.

Get the basics right-These include: personal and contact information; education and qualifications; work history or experience; relevant skills to the job in question; your own interests, achievements or hobbies; and some references.

Presentation is key-A successful CV is always carefully and clearly presented, and printed on clean, white paper. The design should always be well-structured and CVs should never be wrinkled or folded. Stick to no more than two pages of A4 paper. A good CV is clear and brief.

Tailor your CV-When you’ve made sure what the job you are applying for involves, create a CV specifically for that job. Any CV you send to a potential employer should be adjusted to that particular job. Don’t be lazy and hope that a general CV will work because it won’t. Employers want to know why you would be a good choice to fill the specific job on offer.

Make the most your skills-Under the skills section of your CV mention key skills that can help you to stand out from the crowd. These could include; communication skills; organizational skills; computer skills; team working and problem solving. Emphasize the things that show off skills you’ve gained and employers look for.

Include references- References should be from someone who has employed you in the past and can confirm your skills and experience. They can also be from a teacher or a principal from your school. Try to include two if you can.

It all began with a stop at a red light.

Kevin Salwen was driving his 14-year-old daughter,Hannah,back from a sleepover in 2006.While waiting at a traffic light,they saw a black Mercedes Coupe on one side and a homeless man begging for food on the other.

"Dad,if that man had a less nice car,that man there could have a meal," Hannah protested.The light changed and they drove on,but Hannah was too young to be reasonable.She pestered（糾纏）her parents about inequity,insisting that she wanted to do something.

"What do you want to do?" her mom responded. "Sell our house?"

Warning!Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager.Hannah seized upon the idea of selling the luxurious family home and donating half the proceeds（收入）to charity,while using the other half to buy a more modest replacement home.

Eventually,that's what the family did.The project—crazy,impetuous（魯莽的）and absolutely inspiring—is written down in detail in a book by father and daughter scheduled to be published next month: The Power of Half.It's a book that,frankly,I'd be nervous about leaving around where my own teenage kids might find it.An impressionable child reads this,and the next thing you know your whole family is out on the street.

At a time of enormous needs in Haiti and elsewhere,when so many Americans are trying to help Haitians by sending everything from text messages to shoes,the Salwens offer an example of a family that came together to make a difference—for themselves as much as the people they were trying to help.In a column a week ago,it described neurological（神經(jīng)生物學(xué)的）evidence from brain scans that unselfishness lights up parts of the brain normally associated with more primary satisfaction.The Salwens' experience confirms the selfish pleasures of selflessness.

Mr.Salwen and his wife,Joan,had always assumed that their kids would be better bigger house.But after they downsized,there was much less space to retreat to,so the family members spent more time around each other.A smaller house unexpectedly turned out to be a more family-friendly house.

1.What does the underlined word "inequity" most probably mean in Paragraph 3?

A. Unfairness. B. Satisfaction.

C. Personal attitude. D. Reasonable statement.

2.What is suggested in the underlined sentence "Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager." in Paragraph 5?

A. Never give a quick answer to an idealistic teenager.

B. Unless a child is realistic,never give an answer immediately.

C. Give an answer if the child is reasonable.

D. Don't respond to a child's demands firmly without consideration.

3.Which of the following statements is IRUE according to the passage?

A. Mercedes Coupe is only an ordinary car which is quite cheap.

B. Unselfishness has nothing to do with people's primary satisfaction.

C. Hannah asked her parents to do charity and they sold their house.

D. The writer's children asked him to sell their house.

4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. The Salwens regretted selling their house.

B. The family members get much closer.

C. Small houses can bring happiness.

D. The Salwens intend to buy another big house.

When you hear the word “recycling”, what comes to your mind? The color green or global warming?

What if I were to tell you there is a dark side of recycling? A type of recycling that does more than good. The dark side of recycling has nothing to do with the environment but rather has a lot to do with the recycling of ideas.

Environmental unrest is not the only trouble we must face. Idea pollution is quickly becoming widespread across the online world.

Think about it. When was the last time you read an original blog post? I’m guessing it has been quite a while. Why do you think top bloggers of today win so much respect? Do you think they recycle their ideas? With each recycled idea the online world becomes much more polluted. Used content contributes to the ever increasing mass of digital smog.

The first step to reduce pollution is simple: stop recycling. When you stop recycling, you will then be forced to take up the task of creating from your own ideas. When you recycle an excellent idea, it soon becomes good. When you recycle a good idea, it soon becomes just OK. The chain continues until the key part of what used to make the idea good is saturated, leaving you nothing but a pile of mess.

In order not to pollute, your ideas must go beyond “just recycled”. Your ideas must stand out from the pollution of the web. For your voice and talent to be heard and seen, you must go far beyond the standard copy of your neighbours’ ideas.

For the next week, make a promise not to recycle. Let your ideas flourish and flow. Believe in your ability to create, because the death of recycling starts with YOU.

1.Which is true about top bloggers of today according to the writer?

A. They often recycle their ideas.

B. They tend to express many fresh ideas.

C. They are not worth much respect.

D. They make good use of others’ ideas.

2.What is the meaning of the underlined word “saturated” in paragraph 5?

A. many and good B. useful but not enough C. many but not good D. beneficial

3.This passage is written mainly for ________.

A. top bloggers B. common bloggers

C. environmental polluters D. net researchers

4.The main purpose of this passage is ________.

A. to remind people to pay attention to environmental protection

B. to prove that the web environment is becoming worse and worse

C. to warn people not to pollute our web environment with bad words

D. to call on people to write online more creatively instead of repeating
