閱讀下面短文，根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容完成表格中所缺信息，每空一詞。
One of the most common questions I am asked is whether, when, and how to follow up after a job interview. Following up in some way is necessary. Yes, you can get a job without it, but if you compete with other top candidates(候選人), following up can sometimes help you when the other candidate doesn’t. Here’s how to follow up well:
Send a thank-you note at once. E-mail is fine for this and has the advantage of arriving faster, but handwritten notes are still appreciated (欣賞). And if there are many interviews（面試）, send a thank-you note each time.
Find out their timeline. Hopefully, you asked about their timeline in the interview itself, but if you didn’t, follow up within a week to strengthen your interest and politely ask what they expect their timeline for a decision to be.
Be patient. Most commonly, job seekers are too worried about the result. It doesn’t look worried to express your interest in the job or check in to ask about the timeline.
Don’t be nervous if you don’t hear from them at once. The hiring process often takes longer than a candidate would like, maybe the decision makers are out of town. If you’re past the time they indicated you would hear something, this isn’t necessarily cause for nervousness. Hiring often ends up taking longer than expected. Just politely follow up, explain you’re very interested but understand that hiring can take time, and ask if they have the latest timeline.

Do you like drinking Coke? As a symbol of American culture, Coca-Cola is liked by many people, especially young people around the world．But from now on, perhaps it will be difficult for students in the US to get it in school. A new agreement (協(xié)議) will stop almost all sales of high-sugar fizzy (起泡的) drinks in American schools.
The agreement allows only juice, milk and water to be sold in primary schools and middle schools. It will help 35 million young people choose healthy drinks.

Childhood obesity (肥胖) has become a big problem in America. A report shows that obesity has risen so fast in teenagers in the past 25 years. The main reason is that kids eat too much junk food and drink too much Coke.
The UK has already used similar ways to fight obesity. A recent study shows that people in the UK are much healthier than those in the US. However, it's better late than never. Now American schools are trying to lead students to healthier lives.
