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 |

I arrived in the UK last weekend to learn English．So far I have already made a few friends and had some traditional English food there．But after having three days of hamburgers，sandwiches and potatoes，I
thought none could be more delicious than Chinese food，especially my favorite﹣huo guo．You can't imagine how excited I was when I got to know that there was going to be a free meal of hotpot to welcome the new students．On the way to the canteen，I seemed to smell huo guo in the air．

Last summer I went to one of the world's most famous historical places，the Forbidden City in Beijing，China．It was the home of the emperors of the last two dynasties in China，the Ming and Qing Dynasties．
The Forbidden City was built in 1420．The palace has over 10，000 rooms．It was where the emperors dealt with the official business with their ministers．
In Mandarin，The Forbidden City is called the Purple Forbidden City．However，the color of the palace itself is not purple．The color purple stands for power of the great emperors of China．It was so sacred（神圣的） that the commoners could not even dream of ever going in．
The emperors also had some of the largest festival celebrations at the Forbidden City．During Chinese New Year，the emperor would invite all the members of his family and his officials to a banquet．The banquet had a hundred and eight Chinese dishes．It was such an expensive banquet that it could feed a commoner's family for three generations（代）．
Right now The Forbidden City is known as a historical site for tourists from all over the world．Everyone can go in there．It is a museum with priceless Chinese antiques （古董） and treasures in it．
I really learned a lot about the Chinese culture and its history from this trip to The Forbidden City．It was like a dream come true to go on the trip and see the things that I have always wanted to see．

Many kids do housework such as doing the dishes，making the bed，and folding the clothes．In exchange，they get some money or other computer time．
Paying kids for housework is one of the most popular topics，especially at a time when everyone is more careful about money．Some parents think since adults are paid to do their jobs，we should pay kids for everyday housework．
But some people don't think kids should get rewards（报酬） for doing housework．Susie Walton，an expert，believe that by rewarding kids，parents are sending a message that work isn't worth doing unless you get something in return．"Running any kind of housework is a team effort，"Walton said．"A home is a living space for everyone in the family．It's important for kids to see that we all have responsibilities in the house，and families decide how they want their home to look，and how they are going to keep it looking like what they want．"
Other people believe that getting a reward encourages kids to do housework，and it also teaches them real world lessons about how we need to work to get money．There are also apps（程序） that gives kids points and digital gifts that can be redeemed（兑现） either online or in the real world．"Our goal is to give kids lawful power so they can get rewards，"says Chris Bergman．"And kids need rewards to help encourage them．"
