The following\nsuggestions will help you prepare for a successful interview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Before\nYou Leave Home<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dress\nappropriately. This means the attire you choose should be the same as what you\nwould wear for work once you are hired. Conservative colors2 and styles always\nconvey a more trustworthy image. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rehearse\nthe interview at home. Think of questions that you will probably be asked, and\nprepare answers for them. This will help you be calm when you are at the actual\ninterview.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t\nbe late for your interview. The best way to avoid this problem is to decide\nahead of time how you want to get there. If by bus or subway, check the\nschedules the day before. If by car, plan your route carefully and figure out\nhow long it will take. Careful planning will ensure that you will make a good\nimpression by arriving on time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>During\nthe Interview<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Speak\nclearly. Look the interviewer in the eye when speaking and use clear, confident\ntones. Do not speak too quickly or nervously. Rather, pronounce your words\ncarefully and pause when searching for ideas. Speaking with a firm, clear voice\nis one of the best ways to give an impression of self-assurance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ask\nquestions. Do not be afraid to do this. It will not make you appear unprepared\nor stupid. On the contrary, asking the right questions shows that you are\nknowledgeable about the company and conveys the impression that you are\ninterested and enthusiastic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Complete the sentences below.

Here are several reasons a website can help a company of any size improves its business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>A&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/strong>A website is the most important tool a business has\nfor maintaining contact with customers. The website gives customers a way to\nknow what services or products you sell and how to contact you. By offering an\ne-newsletter sign-up on your website, customers can stay informed about events\nrelated to your business and your products, and you save on printing costs. A\nlink to your blog keeps customers upto &#8211; date on what is happening with your\nbusiness, and keeps them coming back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>B&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/strong>A website allows you to expand your customer base\nbeyond your immediate community, and even to other countries. Anyone in the\nworld can have access to your services and products through your website, at no\nextra cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>C&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/strong>No matter what the size of your business, it is not\nhard to afford a website. It is easy to set up, and it does not have to break\nyour budget. There are templates available if you want to create a website\nyourself. Or, you can hire a Web designer for a more professional look.\nDepending on what you need, using the services of a professional does not\nnecessarily cost huge amounts of money. The hosting fees you pay to keep your website\nup and running are minimal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>D&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/strong>You can save on expenses by keeping your website\nsimple. Even just a few pages can be enough to provide your customers with the\nnecessary information to keep them interested in what your business has to\noffer. A large website with lots of pages is not always necessary. The most\nessential facts to include in any website\u2014your business name and location, your\nproducts, and your contact information\u2014can be contained on just one page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>E&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <\/strong>Your website can be a place for your\ncustomers to buy your products.

During this lunar cycle, many different phases of the moon are visible from Earth, even though the moon itself never changes shape. The cyclic period of the moon is determined by the extent to which the sun illuminates the moon on the side that is facing Earth. Just like Earth, the moon is sphere-shaped, and thus always half illuminated by the sun. However, because the moon and the Earth are in synchronous rotation, we can see only the near side of the moon. The side we do not see is called the far side, or the <em>dark side<\/em>, a term that is often misunderstood. The dark side refers to the mysteriousness of this unseen side, not the amount of light it receives. Both the near and the far sides of the moon receive approximately the same amount of sunlight. Though we see a slightly different moon from Earth each day, its repetitive cycle is both predictable and functional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There\nare eight phases of the moon, each with a unique name that signifies how much\nof the moon is visible from Earth. In the early phases, the moon is said to be <em>waxing,\n<\/em>or gradually getting larger. The first phase is called <em>new moon. <\/em>In\nthis phase, the moon is lined up between the Earth and the sun. The illuminated\nside of the moon is facing the sun, not the Earth, so from Earth, there appears\nto be no moon at all. As the moon begins to move slowly eastward away from the\nsun, it becomes slightly more visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After\nnew moon, the <em>waxing crescent <\/em>phase begins. During this phase, the moon\nappears to be less than half illuminated. <em>First quarter <\/em>occurs when\none-half of the moon is visible. It is called first quarter, not because of its\nsize, but because it represents the end of the first quarter of the moon\u2019s\ncycle. The next phase is called <em>waxing gibbous <\/em>and represents a moon\nthat is larger than half a sphere, but not quite a whole. This phase is followed\nby <em>full moon<\/em>, which occurs when the moon&#8217;s illuminated side is directly\nfacing Earth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the moon begins to get smaller again, it is said to be <em>waning. <\/em>The phases in the second half of the cycle appear the same as the first, except that the opposite half of the near side of the moon is illuminated, thus the moon appears to be shrinking rather than growing. <em>Waning gibbous <\/em>is followed by <em>last quarter<\/em> when one-half of the moon is visible, and finally <em>waning crescent. <\/em>In the Northern Hemisphere, when the moon is waxing, the light of the moon increases from right to left. The opposite occurs in the Southern Hemisphere.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like\nthe sun, the moon is an accurate tool for measuring time. A complete cycle of\nthe moon is called a <em>lunation. <\/em>A full cycle of the moon typically lasts\njust under one calendar month, therefore, the phase of the moon that starts a\nmonth usually repeats just before the month is through. When two full moons\noccur in<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>one\ncalendar month the second one is called a <em>blue moon<\/em>. This phenomenon occurs\nabout once every 2.7 years. Within one cycle, the moon\u2019s \u201cage\u201d is calculated\nfrom the last day of the new moon. For example, the moon is approximately\nfifteen days old during the full moon phase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The moon can also be used to calculate the time of day. Just like the sun, the moon rises and sets each day and is visible on the Earth\u2019s horizon. At new moon, the moon, and sunrise and set at almost the same time. As the moon begins to wax or move farther in its orbit, it rises approximately one hour later each day. By the full moon, the moon rises at about the same time the sun sets and sets when the sun rises. Therefore, the moon is out in the daytime as often as it is at night even though it is not always as easy to see in the daylight. The Islamic calendar is based on the phases of the moon. The beginning of each new month in the Islamic calendar begins when the waxing crescent first appears in the night sky. The primary phases of the moon, which include new moon, first quarter, full moon, and last quarter are published in almanacs for each month. The phases can also be found on many calendars in the Western world. Despite the world\u2019s fascination with the moon, its phases are not entirely unique. The planets Venus and Mercury have similar phases; however, unlike the moon, these planets can never be on the opposite side of the Earth from the sun. To see the equivalent of the \u201cfull moon\u201d phase of these planets, we would need to have the capacity to see through the sun. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Questions 28 and 29<\/strong><br> Write the correct letter A, R, or C, on lines 28 and 29 on your answer sheet.<br> <strong>28    <\/strong>It takes the moon approximately twenty-nine days to<br>          A      orbit the sun.
