听力原文: To be successful in a jab interview, you should demonstrate certain personal and professional qualities. You need to create a good image in the limited time available, usually from 30 to 45 minutes. You must make a positive impression which the interviewer will remember while he interviews other candidates. The following are some qualities you should especially pay attention to during an interview. First of all, you should be properly dressed. The right clothes worn at the right time can win the respect of the interviewer and his confidence in your judgement. It may not be true that clothes make a man. But the first and often last impression of you is determined by the clothes you wear. Secondly, you should pay close attention to your manner of speaking. Since speech is a reflection of personality, you should reflect confidence by speaking in a clear voice, loud enough to be heard, without being aggressive or overpowering. You should be prepared to talk knowledgeably about the requirements of the position you are applying for, Finally, to be really impressive, you must convey a sense of self-confidence and enthusiasm for work. If you display these characteristics with just a little luck, you'll certainly succeed in the typical personnel interview.

听力原文:Are you afraid to raise your hand in class, even when you know the answer? If you are, most people would say that you're shy.
If you feel shy, you're not alone. Nine out of ten people are at least a little shy. But however shy you are, scientific evidence seems to show that it isn't your fault. You may have been born that way.
How do psychologists measure shyness? One way is by observation. They keep detailed records of people's actions—like how often these people speak to others, or how long it takes someone to say hello to a stranger.
Another way to measure shyness is to ask people questions. The test only takes about 10 minutes. It asks questions like "Do you like going out a lot?" and "Do you have many friends?" People must answer either yes or no. These questions can predict how people actually behave in social situations. Suppose the test tells you that someone is shy. Chances are good that that person will act shy.
When scientists measure shyness, they're really comparing degrees of shyness. In other words, when researchers say people are shy, they really mean they are more shy than others.
Why does the speaker say that it isn't a fault to be shy?
A. Nobody will laugh at you for being shy.
B. Shyness is difficult to overcome.
C. Because many people don't know how to behave in social situation.
D. Because most people are shy by nature.
