therefore paying attention.

In fact, too much comfort might convey to some that you’re overconfident and not taking the interview _____54_____. In the end, your fate rests in the hands of another human being so there’s only so much you can do. They may not like your shoes or hire someone younger or older.

(A)

Thailand uses the phrase “land of smiles” to describe itself in tourist brochures and advertising campaigns and rightly so. Visitors to Thailand can expect to be greeted with a

smile when they leave the airport, get into a taxi or rental car and again when they enter a hotel. What makes it so easy for Thai people to smile at their visitors? The head of Thailand’s tourist bureau says that it is “in the nature of the people”. The Thai are naturally happy, he says with a smile, and they are glad to share that happiness with others.

This attitude seems to be very much appreciated by the more than five million tourists who visit Thailand each year. The country ranks high on the list of places to which visitors want to return. The reason most often stated is that the people are friendly and courteous (有礼貌的). Some other Asian destinations are not as well received. Hong Kong ranks low, with shopkeepers particularly rated as unfriendly, unhelpful and sometimes rude. Bali in Indonesia ranks high on the list, with Japan somewhere in the middle.

These reports raise the question of whether certain nationalities are naturally more courteous than others. While people may experience more friendliness in Thailand than in Hong Kong, that may have more to do with the place than the people. Travel writers point out that cities are always stressful, hurried, impersonal places, with little to offer in the ways of smiles and welcome. Bangkok is not as friendly as other places in the surrounding Thai countryside. Remote towns and villages in China, for example, offer visitors a warm welcome, with smiles and giggles from children. Perhaps it should also be pointed out that visitors themselves make a difference to the courtesy with which they are received. Polite, patient, smiling visitors will most be greeted similarly, no matter which country they are in. 70. The phrase “land of smiles” means ___________.

A. Thailand is a funny country.

B. the tourists must smile all the time in Thailand. C. there is a piece of land which can smile in Thailand. D. the people in Thailand are kind and friendly. 71. When you visit Thailand, you will find ___________.

A. If you go into the country, you can’t leave it. B. you can see smiles everywhere C. you must smile to rent a car

D. everybody in the street will smile at you

72. According to the passage, those who have been in Thailand _________.
