　　Bamboo (竹子) is one of nature's (自然) most surprising plants. Many people call this plant a tree, but it is a kind of grass.

　　Like other kinds of grass, a bamboo plant may be cut very low to the ground, but it will grow back very quickly. A Japanese scientist reported one bamboo plant which grew 1.5 meters (4 feet) in 24 hours! Bamboo grows almost everywhere in the world except Europe. There are more than 1, 000 kinds of bamboo.

　　Not all bamboo looks the same. Some bamboo plants are very thin. They may only grow to be a few centimeters wide while others may grow to more than 30 centimeters (1 foot) across. This plant also comes in different colors, from yellow to black to green.

　　Bamboo has been used to make many things such as hats and kitchen tools. Because it is strong, bamboo is also used to build buildings.

　　Many Asian countries have used bamboo for hundreds of years. They often use bamboo for buildings and supporting new buildings and bridges while they are being built.

　　In Africa, poor farmers are taught how to find water using bamboo. These African countries need cheap way to find water because they have no money, and their crops often die from no rain and no water. Bamboo pipes help poor farmers bring water to their thirsty fields without spending a lot of money.

　　(2024·河南八市重點高中質檢)

　　Relax during a job interview

　　Few people actually like job interviewing. It's nerve-wracking trying to show your“best” self to a perfect stranger. __1__ That's not easy, but there are some ways to pull yourself together and feel more confident.

　　Prepare solid talking points. It's always best to over-prepare for possible questions by not only researching the company and the person interviewing you, but also by preparing answers and practicing those responses. Review the skills and experiences requested in the job announcement and have two to three examples of how you have demonstrated each one. __2__

　　Remember：It's a two-way street. This is a conversation, not an interrogation(審問). __3__ Remembering that this is a back and forth discussion，where you can—and should—ask questions as well as answer them, can help you feel more comfortable.

　　Just breathe.__4__ Your body will relax a lot. You want to avoid upper chest breathing, as it tends to just move your stress upward to your face.

　　__5__ If you go into an interview picking apart your outfit or imperfect responses, you're only hurting your chances of coming off as calm and collected. Turn off your negative self-talk and then create a different self-talk message，like “I am here to share the best of my ability and that is all I can really do.”

　　Work it out. Putting in some gym time on the morning of your interview can help you get rid of any nervous tension. Exercise helps calm your nervous system and tends to reduce the intensity of physical manifestations(表現形式) of stress such as restlessness.

　　A．Stop the negative thoughts.

　　B．Put your idea into practice.

　　C．When faced with an interviewer, you may be nervous.

　　D．Before you walk into your interview，take a few deep breaths.

　　E．You're trying to prove you're the one for the job and that you can handle stressful situations.

　　F．Don't forget that you're not the only one being interviewed—you're also interviewing the organization.

　　G．This will strengthen your answers and allow you to show how your experience is relevant to the job or organization for which you're interviewing.

　　語篇解讀：面試時我們難免緊張。如何在面試時讓自己放松呢？本文給出了一些方法。

　　1．E　由上句中的trying to show your “best” self和后文的That's not easy可知此處表示面試時想證明自己并不是一件容易的事情。

　　2．G　通讀該段的內容可知G項可與前面的內容有效銜接起來。

　　3．F　本段的核心話題是面試是雙向的，所以F項正好符合此處的語境。

　　4．D　根據空前的Just breathe和空后的Your body will relax a lot可推知答案為D項。

　　5．A　原文中的Turn off your negative self-talk and then create a different self-talk message暗示答案為A項。
