45、析】 该段首先提出建议：要提前练习面试内容，包括对你的职业、离职原因以及你的成就等一系列问题的回答。然后分析这样做的好处：通过练习，你就能找到合适的词汇，不会慌乱，会以适当的语速谈论，并知道何时该停下来。C 项(重点关注你的谈话方式而非做出临场回答)是对该内容的高度概括，作者提议我们在面试之前要不断练习谈话方式而不是临场发挥。【知识模块】 阅读理解3 【正确答案】 G【试题解析】 该部分前三句指出，求职者讲话的时间不宜过长，而是应该与面试官基本持平。倒数第二句又指出，求职者应设法建立友好氛围，找到自己与面试官的共同点。末句总结指出，面试不是独角戏，双方都是参与者。G 项前半句 Its not
