It’s very hard to write your own resume because a resume is a macro view of your life, but you live your life at the micro level. 【1】__________ After all, spending money on a resume writer is one of the few payouts that will have good return right away.

But some of you will be able to do a proper job rewriting your resume on your own. 【2】________ You need to rethink the goals and rethink the rules of a resume in order to approach the project like the best of the resume professionals.

【3】___________ A resume is not your life story. No one cares. The only things that should be on your resume are achievements. Anyone can do their job, but only a small percentage of the population can do their job well, wherever they go. The best way to show that you did your job well is from achievements. The best achievement is a promotion. It is an objective way to show that you impress the people you will work for. Presenting clearly your achievements is enough and also necessary. 【4】_________

Don’t make your resume a moral statement. It’s a marketing document. Think about when a company announced the launch of their product. You need to take the same approach with your resume, because a resume is a marketing document. The best marketing documents show the product in the best light, which is to use whatever possible means to make you look good. 【5】_________

Charles LeBeau is a public speaking professor and consultant. Currently, he teaches at two universities and at the Toshiba International Training Center. He has also written books on the subject. English language learners around the world use his book Speaking of Speech.

In Speaking of Speech Mr. LeBeau says a simple approach helps the learners. So, the professor divides public speaking into three parts: the physical message, the visual message, and the story message. He says, “The central thing to remember about public speaking or presentation is that it’s a very complex communicative activity. For non-native speakers it’s a really scary activity. So to make that more simplistic and easy for them, the approach that I’ve taken is to simplify and break it down. First if we look at presentation, what’s going on? There are basically three messages that the presenter is giving the audience at the same time. There’s what I call the physical message, namely body language. It’s the way that my body, as a speaker, is talking to the audience. Then there’s also the visual message. The visual messages are the slides that we now make and show the audience. The third message is the story message, which is the content of our presentation. The story message is the verbal message, what we say to the audience. The story message also includes how we organize our ideas to present to the audience.”

He says the simple approach to breaking down the parts of public speaking has proved itself. He says learners improve quickly and do a good presentation after a few days of study.

Failure comes to us sometimes. Last term, I met a painful failure, and it helped us find a new self. Before the final exam, I have promised my parents that I would get the best marks in all my subject. However, I did not listen to my teachers careful in class and paid little attention at my homework. As result, I failed two of my most favorite subjects, math and physics, which surprised everyone. Look back, I realized that it was my overconfidence which led to my failure. Only if we are modest but work hard will we have the chance to achieve our goals.

It is not a secret 【1】 trees are vital to our life. They provide us with food, wood and most 【2】 (important), oxygen. Now there is one more thing we can add to this list—blocking out harmful bacteria from water.

The discovery 【3】 (make) by a team 【4】 (consist) of scientists from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and high school students 【5】 were seeking a natural water filter(过滤)—one that would help communities in developing countries that do not have 【6】 (accessible) to modern water filter systems.

The 【7】 (research), led by Professor Rohit Karnik, decided to turn【8】______ trees for help, because they could allow liquid to flow through, while blocking out air bubbles.

They began by cutting 1.5-inch-wide sections of tree bark from the branches of a white pine tree. The people related then tested the wood’s filtering ability by pouring water containing red dye particles of different sizes through. To their 【9】 (amaze), they found that it was effective in trapping all the particles. Greatly 【10】 (encourage), the team conducted another experiment, this time with water that contained bacteria. Sure enough, the sapwood held back 99% of the bacteria, allowing only 1% to flow through.

Fitting in fitness

Do you find excuses not to exercise? 【1】 Here are a few ways to get you going.

Do what you love.

The easiest way to fall into the habit of doing exercise is to choose an activity you enjoy — one that doesn't feel like exercise, even though it is. 【2】 If you play to your strengths, you’ll find fitness activities you can enjoy for years.

Choose your hour.

Studies have shown that people who work out in the morning are most likely to stick with a routine. By doing exercise before the day starts, they can avoid the last-minute scheduling conflicts. But if you’ re not a morning person, choose whatever time works best for you. 【3】

Call it by another name.

【4】 If it's something you have to do anyway — like washing the car or planting some bushes in the yard — you’ll achieve two goals at once.

Partner up.

Exercise is more fun when you do it with others. 【5】 On days when your motivation is low, you’ re more likely to stick with the programme to avoid disappointing your exercise partners. You can also train with an expert. A personal trainer will help you set goals, design a personalized fitness programme, and vary your routine to keep it challenging.

A. Ask yourself: what am I good at?

B. Make fitness part of your social routine.

C. For example, you can join a running, walking, hiking, biking or tennis club.

D. If you’re in top form from noon to 1 pm, aim for a lunchtime workout.

E. Would you rather do anything else — even sort your socks or clean the fridge?

F. If a damp T-shirt is not your idea of a good time, try gentler forms of exercise.

G. Substitute some challenging household activity for the standard exercise routine.
