In the summer of 2010, record-high temperatures hit Moscow. At first

it was just another heat wave , but the scorching heat that started in

late June continued through mid-August. Western Russia was so hot and

dry in early August that 300 or 400 new fires were starting every day.

1

Millions of acres of forest burned. So did thousands of homes. Crops

withered. Day after day Moscow was bathed in seemingly endless smoke .

The elderly and those with impaired respiratory systems struggled to

breathe. The death rate climbed as heat stress and smoke took their

toll. The average July temperature in Moscow was a scarcely believable

14 degrees Fahrenheit above the norm . Twice during the heat wave, the

Moscow temperature exceeded 100 degrees Fahrenheit, a level Muscovites

had never before experienced. Watching the heat wave play out over a

seven-week period on the TV evening news , with the thousands of fires

and the smoke everywhere, was like watching a horror film that had no

end. Russia

?

s 140 million people were in shock , traumatized by what

was happening to them and their country.

The most intense heat in Russia

?

s 130 years of record keeping was

taking

a

heavy

economic

toll.

The

loss

of

standing

forests

and

the

projected

cost

of

their

restoration

totaled

some

$$

300

billion.

Thousands of farmers faced bankruptcy. Russia

?

s grain harvest shrank

from

nearly

100

million

tons

to

scarcely

60

million

tons

as

crops

withered.

Recently

the

world

?

s

number

three

wheat

exporter,

Russia

banned grain exports in a desperate move to rein in soaring domestic

food prices. Between mid-June and mid- August, the world price of wheat

climbed

60

percent.

Prolonged

drought

and

the

worst

heat

wave

in

Russian history were boosting food prices worldwide.

Jenny: Hmmm. I guess the first thing is to try to make a good impression.

We often say,

George: That sounds like good advice. But how do I make a good first

impression?

Jenny: To begin with, you should firmly shake the interviewer

while greeting him or her with a smile. Be sure to keep eye contact,

especially when listening to the interviewer.

George: Ah,

You

should

learn

about

the

company

before the interview and find out what they do, how long they

ve been

in business, and what their business motto is, that kind of thing. You

should also anticipate possible questions, and think about how you will

answer them.

George: Should I memorize my answers beforehand?

Jenny: No! That may sound mechanical. You should be natural when you

speak. Just think about how you want to answer, and choose the right

words. That way, you can use the interviewer

But

what

remember

Jenny: In that case, you have to paraphrase. In other words, you have

to explain what you want to say. For example, if you forget the word

George: That

Should I ask about the salary during the interview?
