47、riod. When you walk into an interview, theres a good chance that this hiring manager doesnt know if youre the right person for the job yet, and when you walk out of the interview, he or she may still be unsure. That means, your follow-up communication can make a difference. For example, sending a th

48、ank-you note after the interview is a good way to ensure your success. When you write a thank-you note, there are three points you should remember.

(如需获取本MP3听力录音请搜索标题名) 1.A.A visit to a prison.B.The influence of his father.C.A talk with some miserable slaves.D.His experience in the war.答案:A听力原文 The worldwide organization of the Red Cross stems from the idea of Henri Dunant, a Swiss banker.
