In order to make a good impression during a job interview,

plenty of time for the interview, so that you give yourself a little
time to relax before the interview begins. You have to look your best
for the interview. Try to find out if the company has any rules about
dress. Then try to dress according to their regulations. If they don’t
allow their staff to come to work in casual clothes, you may ruin your
chances for a job by wearing the wrong sort of clothes to the interview.
You also need to plan what you are going to say. In some
interviews you will have to do a lot of talking, and in others you will
only have to answer a few questions about yourself, your schoolwork,
your strong points, your reasons for applying for the job, and the
salary you expect. You will be allowed to ask some questions of your
own. The questions you ask will show the interviewer that you have given
careful thought to the position. You can ask questions like these:
What duties will I have to do in the job? Will I be allowed to join a
health insurance programme? Does the company provide opportunities for
further education?
(13)
You must also try to find
out as much as you can about the company by talking to someone who works
there, or by asking for copies of the company’s booklets, brochures or
advertising.

7- Read the passage then answer the questions:
Napoleon Bonaparte’s ambition to control all the area
around the Mediterranean Sea led him and his French soldiers to Egypt.
After losing a naval battle, they were forced to remain there for three
years. In 1799, while constructing a fort, a soldier discovered a piece
of stele known as Rosetta stone. This famous stone, which would
eventually lead to the deciphering of ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics
dating to 3100 B.C., was written in three languages: hieroglyphics,
demotic, and Greek. Scientists discovered that the characters, unlike
those in English, could be written from right to left and in other
directions as well.
Twenty-three years after the discovery
of the Rosetta stone, Jean Francois Champollion, a French philologist,
fluent in several languages, was able to decipher the first word –¬
Ptolemy – name of an Egyptian ruler. This name was written inside an
oval called a “cartouche.” Further investigation revealed that
cartouches contained names of important people of that period.
Champollion painstakingly continued his search and was able to increase
his growing list of known phonetic signs. He and an Englishman, Thomas
Young, worked independently of each other to unravel the deeply hidden
mysteries of this strange language. Young believed that sound values
could be assigned to the symbols, while Champollion insisted that the
pictures represented words.
