Job interviews(面试) can be very different from country to country. An interviewer's" body language" and 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.
Mr. Smith is telling two funny stories of his police work.
Story A
I remember catching a "thief" in a clothes shop once. It was strange. The man was hiding a yellow sweater inside his coat. I thought he had stolen it, so I caught him. We found later that his wife gave him the sweater for his birthday, but he hated it. He just wanted to return it to the shop for money, but he didn't want his wife to see him! We soon let him go.
Story B
Another day, a man called Bob went into a bank on Sixth Street. He wrote on the back of an envelope, "Give me the money! Or I'll kill you. And gave it to the bank clerk. She gave him ＄100,000 and the man ran away. Then we received a phone call from the bank clerk. She told us to go to the man's house in Candy Town and get him. We caught him as soon as he got out of the elevator. He couldn't believe that we found him so quickly. We told him that his name and address were on the front of the envelope he used!

Once a dish comes, of lifting our chopsticks, we take out our mobiles and click. Later, we post the photos onto Weibo or WeChat, waiting to be "liked". Then we check our mobiles from time to time during the meal to see whether we get "liked" not. We just cannot leave our mobiles for only a meal.
Does that sound familiar to you? Do you do that often？ If not, how do you feel when others do that while having dinner with you？
A recent study suggests that what we are used to (do) is not so good. Spending taking photos of food makes the food less pleasant. To test this, some researchers did an experiment. Some people were (ask) to take photos before they could enjoy food. As a , it showed that the (many) photos they took, the less delicious the food to them.

The Internet is shaping our lives. We already have online shopping services and mobile payment. However, this is just a start. The world's leading tech companies are planning to build smarter online communities. It was held in Wuzhen, Zhejiang last year. The development of artificial intelligence(AI,人工智能) was a hot topic at the conference(会议). If a machine can learn and solve problems as humans do, it can be called AI.
The company Alibaba uses AI technology in its unmanned supermarket in Wuzhen. There is no salesperson in the supermarket, just a tablet on a desk that says "please smile". The bigger your smile is, the more discounts(折扣) you will get. Payment is done automatically(自动地) through your Alipay(支付宝)account. When you first enter the supermarket, the supermarket's AI recognizes your face and your account.
There is also AI that can read lips. It recognizes your mouth, s movements and turns them into voices or text messages. This could be very useful when you are trying to talk to someone on your phone in a noisy place. Police could also use the technology to help them find criminal suspects by lip﹣reading recordings from video cameras.
Microsoft's chatbot Xiaolce can not only provide useful information, but also chat with people like a real friend. Xiaolce has a WeChat account. After following the account, users can start talking with her. She keeps improving herself by talking with users.
These technologies are being put into wider use. We may see a smarter world and better lives in the near future.

B. They discussed this at the World Internet Conference.
C. Sougou brought its lip﹣reading system to the conference.
D. If you smile, it will give you a special discount for your goods.
E. Another type of AI focuses on understanding human emotions.
⑴We are living in a world full of competition. Parents compete with others in their offices, our brothers and sisters compete with others in their colleges, and we compete with our classmates in schools. Most of us give up facing competition and will never be successful. Why can't we do better than others? One important reason is that we have no self﹣confidence.
⑵事实上，人人生而平等。You can do what others do. Your classmates may be better than you in some ways, but you may be better than them in other subjects. So everyone has his or her advantages.
⑶Don't look at things from a single point of view. Try to discover your own advantages, and believe that you can do better than others in those ways.
Competition is not so terrible. ⑷不要害怕那些比你更优秀的同学。
⑸Remember that self﹣confidence is the first step to success. Believe in yourselves, and you will be successful in any competition.
