No one wants to look stupid (愚蠢的) or do the wrong thing at a new job. It’s important to make the right impression from the very first day. You will face new people. You will be in a new place.
It may be difficult to know what to do. Here are five tips to help you make it through the first days at a new job.
(1) First impression can last forever. Make sure you make a good one. Before your first day, find out if your new job has a dress code (rules about what you can wear to work). If so, be sure to follow it. No matter what, always be neat and clean.
(2) Get to work on time. Give yourself an extra 15 minutes to make sure you arrive on time.
(3) Pay attention to instructions. One of the first things that your supervisor may do is to introduce you to co-workers. These co-workers will be important to you. They are the ones who will answer your questions when the boss is not around.
(4) Ask lots of questions. Make sure that your supervisor has told you what is expected of you. If he or she has not told you your duties, ask for a list. Set daily and weekly goals for yourself.
(5) Never be the first one to leave. Observe (观察) what your co-workers do around quitting time (下班时间). It does not look good for you to be eager to leave.Before you arrive at work on the first day, you should ___________.
| A．dress in a right way | B．introduce yourself |

Most children have wonderful toys to play with. Usually, their parents buy these toys for them, often as Christmas or birthday gifts. Some children buy small toys with their pocket money. But instead of buying toys, one fun way to get new toys is to make them.
The easiest toy to make is a kite. For a kite, all you need is a large piece of paper, two sticks, some string and some glue. Take the two sticks and use the string to join them together in the centre. Then take a string and tie it to the ends of the sticks to make a string square. Cut the paper to make it the same size as the square. Finally, stick the paper to the string square with glue. Now your kite is finished. All you need to do is to tie a long string to the kite so you can fly it.
In many countries, they have kite-building competitions. Hundreds of people come together to show off their kites. In one famous competition, some of the kites are more than three metres tall. They take many strong men to fly them and use rope instead of string.According to the article, what is one fun way you can get toys?
What materials do you need to make your own kite?
What is the last thing you need to do before you can fly your kite?
How big are some of the kites in one famous competition?
With really large kites, what must people use instead of string?

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the UK! I’m your guide, Alice. I’m very glad to be with you when you stay in the UK. To have a good time here, please be careful with yourselves! Here’re some useful tips for you.
First, the weather here is very changeable (易变的). It can be rainy, sunny, cloudy, windy, warm or cold at any time of the year. If it’s raining when you get up in the morning, it can be hot and dry by the afternoon. It may be sunny when you get up, but when you go out, it may be rainy. So don’t forget to take an umbrella with you. The west of England is wetter than the east, and the north is colder than the south. You should be used to any kind of weather.
Second, in the UK, shops are usually open from 9:00 a.m to 5:30 p.m. On Sundays some shops are open from 10:00 a.m to 4:00 p.m, but a lot of shops are closed. Banks, museums or other places are open from 10:00 a.m to 5:00 p.m, you can go to the parks at any time.
Third, all the cities have buses, trains and taxis. People wait in line for buses and they are unhappy if you push in at the front. Don’t forget that traffic goes on the left.
That’s all! Enjoy yourselves and please give me a call if necessary!
