Martial art has always been one of the major attractions of Asian culture to Americans. The Chinese martial arts came to the U.S.
with Chinese immigrants in the 19th century. Thanks to Bruce Lee, one of the most famous martial artists/movie stars, Kung Fu films
gained popularity among movie goers in the 70s. Lee helped put Chinese Kung Fu in not only his movies, but also in America’s cultural
awareness. Since then, traditional fighting sports in Asia such as Kung Fu, karate, or judo have become familiar to people in the U.S.
Before Bruce Lee, traditional martial arts from Asia were considered nothing more than well-planned stunts. Americans used to
think that punching and kicking in the movies were moves that had been designed by martial art directors to make them seem convincing.
In other words, they thought martial arts were like a series of difficult actions and moves put together for a show.
Bruce Lee, together with his successful movies, totally changed the idea people in America had about martial arts. People at the time
described an electric feeling when seeing Lee’s movies in the theaters, where anyone was enthusiastic about being a Kung Fu master
themselves! Bruce Lee successfully aroused the Kong Fu Fever in the Americans. Even though Americans have always preferred
wrestling and boxing, they grew more and more interested in martial arts and started to realize martial arts were good fighting sports as
well. Bruce Lee may not be the first to introduce martial arts to the States, but he surely is one of the biggest reasons why there are still so
many people learning martial arts everywhere in the States today.

To become a productive citizen, you’ll need to find work after you finish school. For that,
you will need to obey the conventions of job interviews. Without the right preparation, finding a
job can be a stressful and frustrating experience, especially in English-speaking countries.
In order to find employment opportunities, there are several places you can look. Most
newspapers have a “want ads” section that lists job openings in your local area. You may need to
buy newspapers from other parts of the country or even the world if you want to work elsewhere.
Alternatively, you can go to an employment agency, which can find you jobs in clerical and
technical industries. In addition, the Internet is a new and powerful job source. Some websites list
jobs by field and location, and many companies show new positions on their web pages.
No matter how you find a job, you’ll probably have to go on a job interview. Most
employers have expectations about how you’ll look and act when they first meet you. They’ll
expect that you will bring a resume that describes your prior work experiences and education. You
will have to dress in your best clothing: a suit and necktie for men, and a skirt and blouse for
women. Finally, your interviewer will expect you to address him or her cordially, using “ma’am”
or “sir” when you answer questions. It’s probably also a good idea to find out relevant information
about a company beforehand if you want them to hire you.
There are, of course, exceptions to these rules. Many creative or scholarly fields don’t
require the same level of formality. But it is always safest to prepare for every possibility if you
want to seem professional. 【題組】43. How should you address your interviewer？
(A) You should call him “pal” or “friend”.
(B) You should never address your interview.
(C) You should ask him what his first name is.
(D) You should either say “ma’am’ or “sir”.
