Question

II. 完形填空

阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从36－55各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

    The purpose of a letter of application (求职) is to help you to "sell" yourself. It should state   16  the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have   17   . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without  18   out any necessary facts.

     In writing a letter of application, keep in   19  that things a possible employer is most   20  to want to know about are your qualification, your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.   21  the first few sentences fail to  22   the reader's attention, the rest of the letter may not be   23  at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer, not  24  your own needs or desires. For example, instead of beginning with "I saw your  25  in today's newspaper". You might say "I have made a careful  26  of your advertising during the past six months" or "I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives   27  your product and why they like it".

    Try to  28  generalities (笼统) . Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now   29 . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask "What can I  30  in a letter? Employers want experience---which, naturally, no 31   has. The answer is that everything you have ever done is  32 .

    It is important to write a good strong closing remark for your letter.  33  a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent  34  is to enclose (内附) a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it  35   for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
