Half a year before graduation from college, my son began to seek a job. Due to the financial crisis, fewer companies would like to employ new staff. My son targeted a company that was going to hire only one person while there were more than twenty people providing their resumes.

After the interview, there would be only 3 who could enter the final round. Later the company would decide one person to be employed. Everything seemed to go quite well and my son passed the first round and entered the final round in a week.

On the day of the final interview, my son and the other two candidates arrived at the interview place on time, waiting for the test. Unexpectedly, the interview was unbelievably simple. The interviewer only said to them, "All of you are super. Please go home and wait for our notice. We will tell you the result in 3 days. Good luck to all of you!" On the morning of the third day, my son received a text from the company shortly after breakfast that he was not employed. We all felt very disappointed.

At dusk that day, my son suddenly told me excitedly on the phone, "Dad, I have been employed!" Greatly surprised. I could not wait to ask him, "What's the whole matter?" My son told me that he received another text saying that he was employed. Actually, the first text sent to my son was also part of the test in the interview. Three men received the same text this morning and only my son's reply was "Thank you", while the others said "Goodbye".

Only then did I know that my son's "hope" came in that way. That is, when you feel disappointed, do not forget to say "Thank you" to the one who disappoints you. Saying "Thank you" shows respect for others' work and shows you are generous. Therefore, while under the same conditions, you will gain the upper hand in terms of opportunities compared with others!

2. How many people applied for the job? ______________________________________

3. How did the author feel after being told the news at dusk that day? ______________________________________

4. What was the difference between the author's son's answer and the others'? ______________________________________

5. What have you learnt from the interview? ______________________________________

Winston Churchill once said, "We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give." These are certainly words that millions of volunteers around the world could agree with.

Volunteering allows volunteers to meet new people, try out new skills and explore career choices. __20__ Take Andrew Makhoul, a student at the University of Pennsylvania, as an example.

Since the beginning of this term, primary and junior high schools in Shenzhen have carried out a new measure to make sure that students have daily physical education classes. Shenzhen is the first city in the country to require schools to organize daily PE for students at the compulsory education level.

Buxin Primary School in Luohu District started using a "3 + 1 + 1" model, which includes three regular PE classes, one music-based exercise class, and one sports game class to make sure of five PE classes per week.

Because there aren't enough PE teachers to teach all the new classes, the school had to ask teachers from other subject areas to lead many of the PE classes.

Liu Xunhua, a Chinese-language teacher at the school, has taken on the role of a part-time PE teacher. Liu leads students in activities such as jump rope and jumping jacks.

"Everything is for the health of the students, and we support the new measure," said Liu. Like other non-professional PE teachers, Liu took PE training classes and found chances to learn from professional PE teachers.
