A)whether language proficiency or work abuility counts in job interviews B)how to avoid awkward situation in a job interview in HongKong C)the language used in a job interview with both Chinese and expatriate panel members D)the sensible procedure of getting on with an interview where the Chinese interviewee’s English is to be tested D The concept of personal choice in relation to health behaviors is an important one. An estimated 90 percent of all illnesses may be preventable if individuals would make sound personal health choice and do not like to see it restricted when it is within the legal and moral boundaries of society.The structure of American society allows us to make almost all our own personal decisions that may concern our health.If we so desire,we can smoke,drink excessively,refuse to wear seat belts,eat whatever foods we want,and live a completely sedentary life style without any exercise.The freedom to make such personal decisions is a fundamental aspect of our society,although the wisdom of these decisions can be questioned. Personal choices relative to health often cause a difficulty. As one example, a teenager may know the facts relative to smoking cigarettes and health but may be pressured by friends into believing it is the socially accepted thing to do. A multitude of factors,both inherited and environmental,influence the development of health?related behaviors,and it is beyond the scope of this text to discuss all these factors as they may affect any given individual.However,the decision to adopt a particular health?related behavior is usually one of personal choices.There are healthy choices and there are unhealthy choices.In discussing the morals of personal choice,Fries and Grapo drew a comparison.They suggest that to knowingly give onself over to a behavior that has a statistical probability of shortening life is similar to attempting suicide.Thus,for those individuals who are interested in preserving both the quality and quantity of life,personal health choices should reflect those behaviors that are associated with a statistical probability of increased vitality and longevity. 【查看更多】

         I am truly saddened about what is going on in my school district, especially in the school where I am
    currently working.
        Why are so many students not doing well? Why is there such a huge achievement gap between urban
    and suburban students? Just this week, in my school the seventh grade team leader called a meeting to
    discuss academic detention (放学后留校). The purpose of the detention is to allow students who are
    doing poorly a second chance to redo the work. Now if a student did not understand an assignment I
    have no trouble allowing that student to redo a test or give some extra credit work, but if a student did
    poorly because he/she opted(选择) not to do the work out of sheer laziness, that student should not be
    given a second chance.
        And parents should be held accountable for their children. That is another reason why there is such a
    huge achievement gap. All children should be monitored at home in order to achieve great success in
    school. Perhaps it might be a great idea for urban school districts to offer free classes to parents on how
    to help their students at home. Of course this idea is far fetched, after all we do not want to offend the
    parents. What we will do instead is to spend a fortune on teacher training because if the kids are not
    doing well it must be the fault of the teacher. That kind of mindset, if allowed to continue will be a perfect
    recipe for greater achievement gaps.
         I started working at my current school in August and I have been in the teaching field for 25 years.
    What I believe is that you can lead a horse to water but you can't make that  horse drink. You can't
    force kids to change bad habits over  night, nor can we afford to lower standards just so a kid can  pass
    a class.
