26、eloping countries. They also get a chance to learn more about the world, and about themselves. This week this program is celebrating its 50th anniversary.President John Kennedy established the Peace Corps soon after the took office in 1961. It was the time of the Cold War between the United States a
27、nd the Soviet Union. The new program gave Americans a chance to answer the call to service that the president made in his inaugural(就职的)speech. “Ask not what your country can do for you,” he said. “Ask what you can do for your country.” Kennedy told Peace Corps volunteers that Americas image in the
28、countries where they were going would depend largely on them.On August 30th, 1961, the first group of 51 Peace Corps volunteers arrived in Accra, Ghana, to serve as teachers. They had agreed to work for almost no pay. They would spend two years in Ghana helping its people and learning the reality of
29、 life in a developing country. Most of the volunteers had just completed college. About half of them taught English or health care. In the 50 years since then, more than 200,000 Americans have served as Peace Corps volunteers. They have worked in 139 countries.The Peace Corps is a government agency
30、that was created to promote world peace and friendship. There are three goals: First, to help the people of interested countries in meeting their need for trained men and women. Second, to help promote a better understanding of Americans on the part of the people served. And, third, to help promote
31、a better understanding of other people on the part of Americans.Today, the Peace Corps has more than 8,000 volunteers and trainees in 77 countries. They work in agriculture, economic development, education, the environment and health care. Some work in programs related to youth development.Sixty per
32、cent of current Peace Corps volunteers are women. The average age of a volunteer is 28. But the ages of Peace Corps volunteers ange from 18 to 86. Some Americans join the Peace Corps after they retire. Today seven percent of volunteers are over the age of 50. And 19 percent are members of minority g
33、roups.56. Volunteers for the Peace Corps can .

37、part in the Peace Corps.D. Half of the retired volunteers joined the Peace Corps.BIn the early nineteen fifties, researchers found that people scored lower on intelligence tests if they spoke more than one language. Research in the sixties found the opposite. So which is it?Researchers presented the
38、ir newest studies last month at a meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. The latest evidence shows that being bilingual(双语的)does not necessarily make people smarter. But researcher Ellen Bialystock says it probably does make you better at certain skills. She says bilingu
39、al people are often better at controlling their attentiona function called the executive(执行的)control system.Ms Bialystock is a psychology professor at York University in Toronto, Canada. She says the best method to measure the exective control system is called the Stroop Test. A person is shown word
40、s in different colors. The person has to ignore the word but say the color. The problem is that the words are all names of colors.Her work shows that bilingual people continually practice this function. They have to, because both languages are active in their brain at the same time. They need to lim
41、it one to be able to speak in the other.This mental exercise might help in other ways, too. Researchers say bilingual children are better able to separate a word from its meaning, and more likely to have friends from different cultures. Bilingual adults are ofter four to five years later than others
42、 in developing dementia or Alzheimers disease.Foreign language study has increased in the United States. But linguist Alison Mackey at Georgetown University points out that English-speaking countries are still far behind the rest of the world. In England, like in the United States, bilingualism is s
43、een as something special and unique and something to be commented on and perhaps work towards, while in many other parts of the world being bilingual is just seen as a natural part of life.61.

57、est Indies the little donkey, strong and sure-footed, carrying heavy loads even in mountainious places, is a familiar sight.Trained and tamed for many generations, domestic animals(牲畜)are not accustomed to roaming(到处走动)in search of food and shelter.

58、eds, and as long as these are supplied, they are content to do what their masters require.All domestic animals need proper food.

60、ll. If this happens, the wise master seeks the best advice he can get.

66、-Ps” of planning, practice and preparation. Here are some tips on making a successful interview.2Prepare as well as you possibly can, search the web and research the background of the company and the people who you think are going to be interviewing you. Learn exactly what they do and exactly how yo
67、u would fit in with the company. Most important try to understand the “Culture” of the company. You need to sommunicate in a way that mirrors their company standards, this will show you can fit in that organization. Understand a little of what their competitors are doing, this will show youve bother
68、ed to find out where their position in the market is.3Just as important is your own personal preparation. Think about the key things you want to communicate and why you would be ideal for the job. Think about you can sound enthusiastic, without sounding desperate; now you can sell yourself. If they
69、ask you a question, such as “tell me about your CV”, and you cant do it fluently, you will find the interviewers will lose interest and you wont get the job.4During the interview, be a very good listener and if you can find some common ground with your interviewers, you will have a big advantage ove
70、r your competitors. The interview is basically an interaction between two people, so how you come across as a person is of upmost importance. As soon as you enter the company building, make sure everyone you meet is left with the impression that you are a pleasant person. Sometimes an interview ques
71、tion might seem very simple, but dont be deceived, there is always a reason for them asking that question.5Generally wear a suit and tie, but it does depend on the job you are going for.

In this case you should dress for who you are.6It is natural if you are nervous, in fact it is a good sign; it shows you are taking the interview seriously. However try
73、to avoid nervous mannerisms, such as tapping your foot or playing with you hair. Positive body language is important, so adopt a good posture. If you slouch in your chair, the interviewer will think you could be sloppy in your work as well. Positivity is essential in all aspects of your interview.76
