Job interviews（面试）can be very different from country to country． An interviewer's\language\questions，and the form of an interview are not the same around the world．
If you're at a job interview in Japan， don't look directly into the eyes of the interviewer．It is considered impolite．But if you're at an interview in the U．S，you should make eye contact（交流） with the interviewer．If you don't，the interviewer may think you are not sure about your ability．
In the U．S．and some other countries，interviewers aren't supposed to ask questions about family and personal information．In most countries，however，personal questions are very common during job interviews．
In Germany，your interview might begin with a very short conversation followed by a formal （正式的）interview．In Mexico and many other countries，the whole interview might not be formal．

Bikes are popular in the Netherlands.In fact,nearly half of all travel in the Netherlands is by bike.Now,one Dutch bike designer,Thomas,has taken the country’s interest in bikes by making a school bus bike.
The big bike has eight sets of pedals（踏板） for kids,a driver seat for an adult,and three other seats,comfortably letting little kids for their trip to and from school.The bike even has a motor,which can help with high hills or at times when few kids on it.
So far,Thomas tells Fast Company,he’s sold 25 school-bikes,at a price of $25,000 each—less than it would cost to buy a traditional(传统的) school bus with the same number of seats.Along with the traditional color,the bikes are colored yellow so that they can be seen easily.
Thomas says he’s sold school bus bikes to neighboring countries such as Belgium,England and Germany,but so far,the school bus bike hasn’t been sold in the United States.If the US agrees to buy this kind of school bus bike,it could do a lot of good to improve exercise for a young age and help them keep healthy. 6.How do people in the Netherlands usually go to work?

When I was a child,my parents often took me to an old house in a thick forest.No other children ever stayed there.I didn’t even have the choice of playing with a brother or sister.
I could never understand what the attraction(吸引) of the house was,even for my parents,who enjoyed nothing better than to sit in silence with a good book.The woman in the house,my father’s distant cousin,was a terrible cook and her food was inedible.
One day,when I was wandering around the garden behind the house,I noticed a wooden house which had clearly been abandoned.(遗弃) As I walked towards it,I heard a noise,like an animal moving hurriedly away.Then I saw a man with a long beard standing at the door.I was greatly surprised.
“Please don’t tell them you saw me,” he said.“They never use this place,and I have nowhere else to live.”“Don’t worry,” I said.“I won’t tell anyone.But are you all right out here?I mean—do you have enough to eat?” The old man shook his head.
The same evening,I took a small plastic bag into the dining room and,while no one was looking,emptied some of the food into it.Later,I got out of the back door secretly and gave the food to the old man,whose name I had discovered was Taff.
I had never seen anything else as lovely as the smile of satisfaction（满意） on Taff’s face when he ate the food.From then on,my visits to the old house had a purpose,and I enjoyed every minute of the rest of my stay.
10.The underlined word “inedible” is closest in meaning to “ ”. A.too bad for him to eat C.not enough to eat
B.nice to look at
D.as delicious as usual
11.What can we know about the old man from the passage? A.He was poor and hungry.
B.He helped to repair the old house.
