Experts from across many fields are full of advice on just how to present your best performance in an interview using conscious body language choices. While many of these experts say there is a "secret" system for making the most of an interview, the reality is that most of them focus on a few general types of behavior that have the greatest effect during a job interview. Entering the interview location -- Your walk should be active and confident. Keep your shoulders straight, head up, and make eye contact with the people around you. Maintain an active facial expression and be confident when shaking hands and greeting people to whom you are introduced. During the interview -- Sit in a straight and attentive posture. Never let your shoulders drop or your head hang down, but rather keep your head up and make eye contact with the interviewers. Don't play with any papers or notes you have in front of you, and don't lean your arms heavily on the table. Keep your body position open and make eye contact while listening to and answering questions. Leaving the interview location--No matter how you feel about your performance during the interview, carry yourself with confidence till you leave the interview location. Be confident when shaking hands and making eye contact as you say goodbye, and keep your body posture straight as you walk all the way to your car.

Read the article and select the best answer. Article: Women turn to online shopping Women have jumped ahead of men for the first time in using the Internet to do their holiday shopping, according to a study published last week in the US. For years men have been more likely to shop on the Internet than women, but during the 2004 holiday season, 58 percent of those making online purchases were women. "It shows how mainstream the Internet is becoming," said Lee Rainie, director of the Pew Internet and American Life Project group, which carried out the study. Rainie said it was only a matter of time before women shoppers caught up with men. This is because women traditionally make decisions about spending. Users were more likely to shop online to save time. Internet users between the ages 18 and 29 were responsible for some of the most dramatic increase in the online gift-buying population this time around. However, three- quarters of the US Internet users did not buy holiday gifts online in 2004. They worried about credit card security, or just compared online prices with off-line prices, then dashed off to the shops to get the best deals. " But even if shoppers don't buy online , websites are becoming promotion tools for stores," said Dan Hess, vice president of ComScore Networks Inc. Hess said that actually most stores' websites can make customers fully believe the security of their credit card numbers. And most are able to ensure that gifts arrive on time. " It's all about making the shopping experience more efficient, more reliable and more comfortable." Hess said. Question: Which of the following statements is true? Options: A: There were fewer women online shoppers than men in 2004 B: Most of the Internet users between the ages of 18 and 29 are women. C: People in the US were more likely to buy gifts online.
