[简答题]Directions: Translate the following passage into Chinese.
To make your first encounter a positive one, start with a firm handshake. If the interviewer doesn’t initiate the gesture, offer your hand first. Whenever you .have a choice of seats, select a chair beside his or her desk, as opposed to one across from it. That way there are no barriers between the two of you and the effect is somewhat less confrontational. If you must sit facing the desk, shift your chair slightly as you sit down, or angle your body in the chair so you’re not directly in front of your interviewer.

Section B Directions: Read the following passage carefully and
then explain in your own English the exact meaning of the numbered and
underlined parts.
Medical consumerism-like all sorts of consumerism, only more
menadngly is designed to be unsatisfying. (51) The prolongation of life and
the search for perfect health (beauty, youth, happiness) are inherently
self-defeating. The law of diminishing returns necessarily applies. You can
make higher percentages of people survive into their eighties and nineties. But,
as any geriatric ward shows, that is not the same as to comer enduring mobility,
awareness and autonomy. (52) Extending life grows medically feasible, but it
is often a life deprived of everything, and one exposed to degrading neglect as
resources grow over-stretched and politics turn mean.
What
an ignominious destiny for medicine if its future turned into one of besowing
meager increments of unenjoyed life!
