When hiring a new employee, the resume (简历) becomes a valuable tool. Not only does the resume help to create a picture of the potential employee, it also provides information to explain any questions about the resume. Therefore it is essential for an employer to learn to read a resume.
Firstly, the cover of the resume should be judged carefully. An applicant has enough time to create, review and edit his or her resume before presenting it and therefore he or she should create a resume that is both filled with relevant content and aesthetically (美学观点上) pleasing. If the applicant doesn’t dedicate time to designing a resume well, will he or she take the time to complete the responsibilities assigned to him or her? Therefore, during the first review, an employer should spend about ten seconds looking at the resume, checking that the cover sheet is addressed to the correct company and the objective matches the job description. The second review involves deeper analysis. But at this point, several applicants should be wiped out.
Secondly, don’t overlook those who are young. Many companies are hesitant to hire employees that are coming straight out of college because they don’t have experience. Actually, while recent graduates may have no work experience, they can be very knowledgeable and up-to-date on trends in the field. Younger employees tend to be valuable in a world that relies more and more on technology and social media. Furthermore, many students have had internships (实习) or conducted research with their professors. Even studying abroad can prove valuable as small businesses are realizing the importance of the global market. For example, experiences abroad can be useful for marketing in foreign countries.
Thirdly, don’t be hesitant to hire older employees. Some companies fear that older, more experienced employees are going to ask for higher salaries or are going to fail to know about technology. This is probably true in some cases, but definitely not in all. Older applicants may not have grown up with cell phones but that does not imply they are not capable of mastering modern technology. Many applicants will already be fluent “speakers” of technology or can be easily trained.
Lastly, references (推荐人) can provide information about an applicant’s personality and job history and, therefore, should be taken advantage of by anyone reviewing a resume. Can the references be contacted? Is the number out of service and the e-mail address non-existent? Do not hesitate to ask former bosses why their former employees were fired. References have known the applicant for much longer than an interviewer has.

Next morning, there was no wind and we were half a mile from the eastern coast of the island. Although the sun shone bright and hot, I hated the thought of Treasure Island, afraid of what would happen there.
Guns were given to all the honest men. Hunter, Joyce, and Redruth were told what was happening, and were less surprised than we expected them to be. Then the captain went on deck to talk to the crew.
They all became happier at once. I think they thought they would find the treasure lying around on the beach! After some talk, six men stayed on board, and the others, with Silver, got into the small boats.
I then had the first of the mad ideas that help ed to save our lives. If six men were left, we could not take control of the ship; and because only six were left, the captain’s men did not need my help. So I quickly went over the ship’s side and into the nearest boat.
No one took much notice of me, only one man saying, “Is that you, Jim?” But Silver called from the other boat, wanting to know if it was me. Then I began to worry if I had done the right thing.
The crews rowed to the beach and our boat arrived first. I ran towards the trees. Silver and the rest were a hundred metres behind, and I heard him shouting, “Jim, Jim!” But I took no notice, pushing through trees and bushes, and ran until I could run no longer.
I was pleased to lose Long John and began to enjoy looking around this strange island. I crossed wet ground and came to a long, open piece of sand, then went on to a place where the trees had branches that were thick and close to the sand.
Just then I heard distant voices, Silver’s among them, and hid behind a tree. Through the leaves, I saw Long John Silver and another of the crew talking together.
“I’m warning you because I’ m your friend, Tom,” Silver was saying.
“Silver,” said Tom: “You’re old and you’re honest, or so men say; and you’ve money, too, which lots of poor seamen haven’t. And you’re brave. Why let yourself be led away with that kind of scoundrel? I’d rather die than—”
Suddenly, there was a noise of distant shouting, then a long horrible scream. I had found one honest man here, and that terrible, distant scream told me of another．
“John!” said Tom: “What was that?”
“That?” replied Silver. His eyes shone like pieces of broken glass in the sun: “That’ll be Alan.”
“Alan!” cried poor Tom: “An honest and true seaman! John Silver, you’ve been a friend of mine, but for no longer. You’ve killed Alan, have you? Then kill me, too, if you can!”
The brave man turned his back on Silver and began to walk back to the beach. With a shout, Silver threw his crutch through the air. It hit poor Tom between the shoulders, and he fell to the ground with a cry.

Scientists say they have discovered a possible cure for all five known Ebola viruses. Antibodies (抗体) that are used in the cure were discovered in the blood of a survivor.
Kartik Chandran of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine helped discover the antibodies. They are described online in the journal Cell. Chandran says studies of the antibody in non-human primates (非灵长类动物) have shown positive results. He says he is optimistic that the antibodies can be used to protect and treat people, too.
he virus was given the name Ebola because the first recorded outbreak of the disease took place along the Ebola River in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) — then known as Zaire
— in 1976.
Since then, there have been about 24 Ebola outbreaks in Africa, including one happening now in the DRC. Nine people have been infected and three people have died. The most recent Ebola epidemic took place from 2013 to 2016. It killed more than 11,000 people and infected
29,000 in Liberia, Guinea and Sierra Leone.
During that epidemic, researchers were studying an anti-Ebola drug called Zmapp. Doctors began using it even before the study was complete. Zmapp uses antibodies discovered in mice. They use the body’s natural immune system to fight infection. If the drug is given within five days after Ebola infection symptoms appear, it can cure the disease.
Promising results
But researcher Kartik Chandran says Zmapp is effective only against Ebola Zaire. It does not fight the other four known Ebola viruses.
Chandran says the recently discovered human antibodies attack and destroy all five of the viruses. Researchers say the antibodies work by interfering with a process that the disease uses to infect and multiply inside cells. Chandran says scientists discovered the antibodies in just six months.
The drug company Mapp Pharmaceutical Incorporated is now testing the antibodies in monkeys that have been exposed to Ebola. Spokespeople for the company say the antibodies have
so far been safe and effective．
Chandran says he hopes the antibodies can also be tested in people soon. And, he says, he hopes they can finally be used both as a treatment and as a vaccine (疫苗) to prevent people from getting Ebola in the first place.
