　　In the US, the potato is one of the most widely consumed crops. French fries are commonly found in typical American fast­food burger joints and cafeterias. French fries were introduced to the US when Thomas Jefferson served them in the White House during his presidency from 1801 to 1809. Potato chips are popular with consumers as well.

　　The humble potato is more than just a kind of food. In many ways it's part of American pop culture. Let's take a look at some pop culture potatoes.

　　Mashed Potato dance

　　The Mashed Potato dance is a craze that began in 1962. The name of the dance came from the song it accompanies, Mashed Potato Time, performed by American R&B singer Dee Dee Sharp. The move vaguely resembles that of the Twist dance style, by Sharp's fellow, Philadelphian, Chubby Checker.

　　Hot Potato

　　Hot Potato is an action puzzle video game released in 2001. In the game the player must drive a bus and clear the road of alien potato beings. The potato beings are either red or blue; when two same­color potatoes touch each other, they disappear. Over the years, Hot Potato has received mostly positive reception from critics.

　　Mr. Potato Head

　　Mr. Potato Head is an American toy invented by George Lerner in 1949. The toy consists of a plastic potato model and a variety of plastic parts like hands, feet, ears and mouths. In 1952, Mr. Potato Head became the first toy advertised on television. This commercial revolutionized marketing and caused a boom that solidified this toy's place in American pop culture.

　　section is

　　generally next to the women's cosmetics (化妆品) section：while the shop assistant is

　　going back to find the right size shoe，bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.

　　Besides，businesses seek to appeal to customers' senses.Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping，so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day.Music sells goods，too.Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played，sales of French wines went up.

　　When it comes to the selling of houses，businesses also use highly rewarding tactics.They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door，and turn it into a business opportunity.A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly.When entering the house，the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows，and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level.The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.

　　Relax during a job interview

　　Few people actually like job interviewing. It's nerve­wracking trying to show your “best ”self to a perfect stranger. __1__ That's not easy, but there are some ways to pull yourself together and feel more confident.

　　Prepare solid talking points. It's always best to over­prepare for possible questions by not only researching the company and the person interviewing you, but also by preparing answers and practicing those responses. Review the skills and experiences requested in the job announcement and have two to three examples how you have demonstrated each one. __2__

　　Remember: It's a two­way street. This is conversation, not an interrogation(审问)．__3__ Remembering that this is a back and forth discussion, where you can—and should—ask questions as well as answer them, can help you feel more comfortable.

　　Just breathe. __4__

　　Your body will relax a lot. You want to avoid upper chest breathing, as it tends to just move your stress upward to your face.

　　__5__

　　If you go into an interview picking apart your outfit or imperfect responses, you're only hurting your chances of coming off as calm and collected. Turn off your negative self­talk and then create a different self­talk message, like，“I am here to share the best of my ability and that is all I can really do.”

　　Work it out. Putting in some gym time the morning of your interview can help you get rid of any nervous tension. Exercise helps calm your nervous system and tends to reduce the intensity of physical manifestations(表现形式)of stress such as restlessness.

　　A．Stop the negative thoughts.

　　B．Put your idea into practice.

　　C．When faced with an interviewer, you may be nervous.

　　D．Before you walk into your interview, take a few deep breaths.

　　E．You're trying to prove you're the one for the job and that you can handle stressful situations.

　　F．Don't forget that you're not the only one being interviewed—you're also interviewing the organization.

　　G．This will strengthen your answers and allow you to show how your experience is relevant to the job or organization for which you're interviewing.

　　文章大意：文章介绍在面试时如何摆脱紧张，让自己放松。

　　1．E　根据上句中的nerve­wracking并与E中的stressful前后对应等。故选E。

　　2．G　根据空前的Review the skills and experiences requested in the job announcement and have two to three examples how you have demonstrated each one.和G的strengthen，show，experience，job，organization等可知选G。

　　3．F　根据空前的This is conversation, not an interrogation(审问)和空后 Remembering that this is a back and forth discussion和题干F后not the only one等判断选F。

　　4．D　根据空前的Just breathe.和空后的关键词relax和D中的take a few deep breaths可判断选D。

　　5．A　根据空后的Turn off your negative self­talk and then create a different self­talk message和A中的stop the negative thoughts判断选A。

　　Ⅲ.短文改错

　　假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处错误，每句中最多有两处。错误涉及一个单词的增加，删除或修改。
