The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state   __ __ the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have      . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without      out any necessary facts.
In writing a letter of application, keep in        that things a possible employer is most       to want to know about are your qualification, your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.       the first few sentences fail to       the readers’ attention, the rest of the letter may not be        at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer, not       your own needs or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your     in today’s newspaper”. You might say , “I have made a careful       of your advertising during the past six months” or “ I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives       your product and why they like it”.
Try to       generalities (笼统) . Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now   ___    . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I      ?” in a letter. Employers want experience---which, naturally, no      has. The answer is that everything you have ever done is      .
It is important to write a good strong closing remark for your letter.       a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent    _ is to enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it       for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

How to deal successfully with a child who shows outstanding musical ability?It’s not always clear how best to develop and encourage his gift.Many parents may even fail to recognise and respond to their children’s need until frustration explodes into difficult or uncooperative(不合作的) behaviour.And while most schools are equipped to deal with children who are specially able in academic subjects,the musically gifted require special understanding which may not always be available in an ordinary school—especially one where music is regarded as a secondary activity.Such children may well benefit from the education offered by a specialist music school.
The five music schools in Britain are a relatively recent introduction.They aim to provide an environment in which gifted children aged between seven and eighteen can develop their skills to the full under the guidance of professional musicians.
Children at specialist music schools spend between one third and one half of an average day on musical activities,for example,individual lessons,orchestras,chamber(室内音乐的) groups,voice training,conducting and theory.They also spend several hours a day practising in properly equipped private rooms,sometimes with a teacher.The rest of their time is taken up with the subjects:English,maths,basic sciences and languages.All five British specialist schools are independent,classes are small by normal school standards,with a high teacher/pupil ratio(比率).Most children attending specialist schools tend to be boarders,leaving home to live,eat and sleep full­time at school.
What are the disadvantages?An obvious problem is the cost;the fees are high(£12,000­£17,000 a year for boarders).However,each school will make every effort with scholarships and other forms of financial assistance,to help parents of outstandingly gifted children to find the necessary fees.Secondly,not all parents want to send their children to boarding school,especially at a very early age.Almost all the directors of the specialist schools express doubts about the wisdom of admitting children as young as seven into such an intense and disciplined(守纪律的) environment.They stress,however,that their main aim is to turn out “rounded and well­balanced” individuals.
There is little doubt that setting musically gifted children apart from an early age can cause stress.Early signs of musical ability may disappear in their teenage years,while natural competitiveness and the pressure to succeed can lead to a deep sense of failure.But all specialist schools do keep a close watch on the progress of individual pupils,and offer help and advice if needed.
小题1:If a child’s musical ability is not recognized,________.
A.the child may misbehave
B.the ability may fade away
C.the child may lose interest
D.the parents may become anxious
小题2:What problem may musically gifted children face in ordinary schools?
A.Their academic work may suffer.
B.Schools lack musical equipment.
C.Music is not seen as an important subject.
D.Parents and teachers do not work together.
小题3:What makes specialist music schools different from other schools?
A.Their working day is longer.
B.A range of musical training is offered.
C.More than half the day is spent on music.
D.The children have mostly one­to­one lessons.
小题4:What do most school directors see as a possible disadvantage for pupils?
A.Poor children may not be included.
B.They may lose their individuality.
C.There may be a discipline problem.
D.They may not be mature enough on arrival.

We're all connected. You can send an e-mail message to a friend, and your friend can pass it on to one of his or her friends, and that friend can do the same, continuing the chain. Eventually, your message could reach just about anyone in the world, and it might take only five to seven e-mails for the message to get there.
Scientists recently tested that idea in a study involving 24,000 people. Participants had to try to get a message forwarded to one of 18 randomly chosen people. Each participant started by sending one e-mail to someone they knew. Recipients could then forward the e-mail once to someone they knew, and so on.
Targets, who were randomly assigned by researchers from Columbia University in New York, lived in 13 countries. They included an Australian police officer, a Norwegian veterinarian, and a college professor.
Out of 24,000 chains, only 384 reached their goal. The rest petered out, usually because one of the recipients was either too busy to forward the message or thought it was junk mail.
The links that reached their goal made it in an average of 4.05 e-mails. Based on the lengths of the failed chains, the researchers estimated that two strangers could generally make contact in five to seven e-mails.
The most successful chains relied on casual acquaintances rather than close friends. That's because your close friends know each other whereas your acquaintances tend to know people you don't know. The phenomenon, known as the strength of weak ties, explains why people tend to get jobs through people they know casually but aren't that close to.
So, start networking and instant messaging now. As they say in show business: It's all about who you know.
小题1: If you want to get into touch with a stranger in the world, how many e-mails might it take for the message to reach him/her?
A. 5 to 7
B. 18
C. 13
D. 384
小题2: Which of the following is Not true about the test?
A. 24,000 people took part in the study and sent e-mails to people they knew.
B. The 18 targets were chosen by chance.
C. About 98.4% of the mails didn’t reach their goal because some people were too busy or they mistook the message for junk mail.
D. The targets come from 13 countries, such as Australia, Norway and New York.
小题3: What does the word “estimate” mean in the passage?
A. make sure
B. suppose
C. think over
D. imagine
小题4: Why do people tend to get jobs more easily through casual acquaintances than close friends?
A. Because close friends don’t talk with each other so much.
B. Because casual acquaintances can help you know more people and make more friends.
C. Because close friends don’t spend so much time gathering together.
D. Because casual acquaintances are kinder and more willing to help others.
小题5:  In which part of a newspaper will readers read this passage?
A. Culture
B. Entertainment
C. Information and Technology
D. Health

With the average temperature for January standing at -50 ℃,it is no wonder the Russian village of Oymyakon is the coldest permanently inhabited settlement in the world.Known as the“Pole of Cold”,the coldest ever temperature recorded in Oymyakon is -71.2 ℃.This is the lowest recorded temperature for any permanently inhabited location on Earth and the lowest temperature recorded in the northern hemisphere(北半球).
Ironically,Oymyakon actually means“non?freezing water”due to a nearby hot spring.Most homes in Oymyakon still burn coal and wood for heat and enjoy few modern conveniences.
Nothing grows there so people eat reindeer(驯鹿)meat and horsemeat.A single shop provides the town's bare necessities and the locals work as reindeer?breeders,hunters and ice?fishermen.
There are few modern conveniences in the village—with many buildings still having outdoor toilets—and most people still burn coal and wood for heat.When coal deliveries are irregular,the power station starts burning wood.If the power ceases,the town shuts down in about five hours,and the pipes freeze and crack.
Daily problems that come with living in Oymyakon include pen ink freezing,glasses freezing to people's faces and batteries losing power.Locals are said to leave their cars running all day for fear of not being able to restart them.Even if there was coverage for mobile phone reception,the phones themselves would not work in such conditions.
Another problem caused by the frozen temperatures is burying dead bodies,which can take anything up to three days.The earth must first have thawed(融解)sufficiently in order to dig it,so a bonfire is lit for a couple of hours.Hot coals are then pushed to the side and a hole couple of inches deep is dug.The process is repeated for several days until the hole is deep enough to bury the coffin.
Travel companies offer tourists the opportunity to visit the village and sample life in the freezing conditions.
小题1:From the passage we can infer that people in Oymyakon ________.
A.prefer meat to any other kind of food
B.seldom have fresh vegetables and fruits
C.can buy anything in the shop
D.might row a boat to catch fish
小题2:Which of the following is the first step when burying a dead body?
A.The coffin must be put in place.
B.A bonfire has to be lit first.
C.Hot coals have to be pushed to the side.
D.A hole couple of inches deep is dug.
小题3:Mobile phones would not work in Oymyakon because ________.
A.the batteries are of poor quality
B.there was no coverage for phone reception
C.batteries can't be charged in such conditions
D.the extreme coldness makes the batteries lose power
小题4:Why do the locals have their cars running all day?
A.They are afraid they can't get the car started.
B.They want to keep warm in the car.
C.They have abundant oil resources.
D.They have little awareness of saving.

Habits,whether good or bad,are gradually formed when a person does a certain thing again.He is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, and then a habit is formed.Once a habit is formed,it is difficult,and sometimes impossible,to get rid of.It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits.Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live older. Persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live,and sometimes become ruined by them
There are other habits which,when formed in early life,are of great help.Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life,such as early rising,honesty and so on.
Among the habits which children should not form are laziness,lying,stealing and so on.These habits are all easily formed.Unfortunately older persons often form habits which could have been avoided.
We should keep away from all these bad habits,and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others.
小题1:      are formed little by little.
A.Good habitsB.Bad habits
C.Both good habits and bad habitsD.Neither good habits nor bad habits

For most people, shopping is still a matter of wandering down the street or loading a cart in a shopping mall. Soon, that will change. Electronic commerce (trade) is growing fast and will soon bring people more choices. There will, however, be a cost: protecting the consumer from being cheated will be harder. Many governments therefore want to apply street regulations to the electronic world. But politicians would be wiser to see cyberspace as a basis for a new era of corporate self-regulation.
Consumers in rich countries have grown used to the idea that the government takes responsibility for everything from the stability of the banks to the safety of the drugs or their rights to refund when goods are faulty. But governments cannot enforce national laws on businesses whose only presence is on the screen. Even in a country where a clear right to compensation exists, the on-line customer in Tokyo, say, can hardly go to New York to get a refund (退款) for a clothes purchase.
One answer is for government to cooperate more: to recognize each other’s rules. But that requires years of work and volumes of detailed rules. And plenty of countries have rules too fanciful for sober countries to accept. There is, however, another choice. Let the electronic businesses do the regulation themselves. They do, after all, have a self-interest in doing so.
In electronic commerce, a reputation for honest dealing will be a valuable competitive asset. Governments, too, may compete to be trusted. For instance, customers ordering medicines on- line may prefer to buy from the United States because they trust the rigorous screening of the Food and Drug Administration; or they may decide that the FDA’s rules are too strict, and buy from Switzerland instead.
Customers will still need to use their judgment, but precisely because the technology is new, electronic shoppers are likely for a while to be a lot more cautious than customers of the normal sort. And the new technology will also make it easier for them to complain when a company lets them down. In this way, at least, the advent(出现) of cyberspace may argue for fewer consumer protection laws, not more.
小题1:In case an electronic shopper bought faulty goods from a foreign country, what could he do?
A.Refuse to pay for the purchase.B.Go to the seller and ask for a refund.
C.Appeal to consumer protection law.D.Complain about it on the Internet.
小题2:In the author’s view, businesses would place a high emphasis on honest dealing because in the electronic world _______.
A.international cooperation would be much more frequent
B.consumers could easily seek government protection
C.a good reputation is a great advantage in competition
D.it would be easy for consumers to complain
小题3:We can infer from the passage that in licensing new drugs the FDA in the United States is______.
A.very quickB.very cautiousC.very slowD.rather careless
小题4:According to the author, what will be the best policy for electronic commerce?
A.Self-regulation by the business.B.Strict Consumer protection laws.
C.Close international cooperation.D.Government protection.

After students come home from a tiring day at school, they tend to worry a lot about their homework.
Whether students are working on English or chemistry homework, they are simply working on the assignment in order to get it done, attempting to memorize the concepts for the time being and do not absorb any of the information afterward. Students are wasting their time on insignificant assignments rather than effectively using that time to achieve other accomplishments. According to www.dailymail.com, many parents are concerned that homework is being assigned rather than being used to integrate (整合) what teachers are covering in the classroom. In their eyes, if less homework is assigned, students would have much less stress and could focus more on their passions and hobbies.
Homework gets in the way of participating in community service events as well as opportunities for getting a job or being a part of an extra-curricular activity. These responsibilities are important for teenagers to take on because they prepare the teenagers for the "real world." Without the proper exposure to work that is not school related, students will find themselves lost after they graduate. If homework were no longer given, students would have a lot more time to mature in other fields rather than being educated only on academics.
In spite of the fact that teachers want students to do better on tests and absorb the material that they are teaching, homework is not accomplishing its purpose. Because school is becoming increasingly more competitive and challenging, homework is becoming a setback rather than extra practice. Its removal would benefit the well being of teenagers as well as encourage them to get out in the "real world" and discover themselves instead of staring at a pile of assignments.
小题1:Students are wasting their time on insignificant homework because
A.they are working on it carelessly and hurriedly
B.they attempt to get only part of the information memorized
C.they spend too much time doing it without understanding
D.they fail to take in the information after finishing it
小题2:Many parents think that teachers should ______.
A.help students integrate the homework
B.simplify what they teach in the classroom
C.reduce homework to develop students' own interests
D.assign more effective homework for students
小题3:From the third paragraph, we can infer that homework might ______.
A.leave students lack of job opportunities
B.make students lose the sense of responsibilities
C.weaken students' social adaptation ability
D.cause students to feel lost after graduation
小题4:The author insists that homework should be ______.
A.made simpler and easier
B.completely cancelled
C.connected with social activities
D.switched over to subject competitions

London has always been known for its "black fogs". In the winter of 1952, a milky white fog rolled into the city. As the smoke poured into the air, it was so hard to see that people had to walk in front of the buses to guide them. In this way, the most serious air pollution disaster in history began. When it was over, more than 4,000 people had been killed by the thick black smog.
New York City has had several London-type smogs since 1950. Each time, 100 to 400 deaths were caused by the smog. Although these smogs were not as deadly as London's, New York City has the worst air pollution problem in the United States.
In all the killer smogs, factories and homes poured smoke and fumes into the air from the furnaces. The chemical fumes combined with the water droplets in the fog to form harmful substances. These substances caused the illness of those who breathed the polluted air.
Usually, such harmful fumes rise into the upper air and are blown away by the wind. But sometimes there is an unusual weather condition called a temperature inversion. A layer of cold air remains near the ground as smoke and fumes pour into it. This is covered by an upper layer of warm air that acts like a lid. It prevents the polluted cooler air from rising. The harmful fumes pile up and make people ill. The smog may be so thick that airports are closed and chains of collisions occur on the highways.
Another type of smog occurs in Los Angeles. Here the weather may be clear and sunny. But stinging eyes and dry coughs show that harmful chemicals fill the air. The smog is due to invisible gases, mostly from automobile exhaust. Because these chemicals are changed by the sun high up in the air, it is called photochemical smog. It contains automobile exhaust fumes and nitrogen oxides changed by the sun's rays. Added to these are sulfur dioxide and other fumes from factories and oil refineries. Photochemical smog is found in many large cities all over the world.
Killer smogs don't happen very often, fortunately. But in Beijing, a combination of automobile exhaust fumes, home furnace smoke, and factory waste gases pours into the air. This may also happen in the suburbs, or out in the country, where large factories have been built. A number of harmful substances have been found in the air there. When these substances are breathed in day after day, the health of the population is affected.
小题1:Why do people call this phenomenon "black fog"?
A.It is black and dirty.
B.It can affect the health.
C.It can kill people.
D.It is too thick for people to see something.
小题2:What can reduce the air pollution according to the passage'?
A.Water.B.Wind.C.The sun.D.Cold air.
小题3:When photochemical smog happens in the city,          .
A.many people will be killed
B.black smoke may pour into the air
C.the weather may be fine
D.people have to walk to work
小题4:From the passage we know that the most serious black smog disaster took place in    .
A.LondonB.New YorkC.Los AngelesD.Beijing

Brenda Linson never goes anywhere without an empty spectacles case. It is as vital to her as her purse. Yet, she doesn’t wear glasses. The reason she cannot do without it is that she cannot read and she cannot write. If ever she gets into any situation where she might be expected to do either of these things, she fishes around in her bag for the spectacles case, finds it’s empty, and asks the person concerned to do the reading for her. Until a few months ago hardly anybody knew about her problem. Her husband didn’t know and her children didn’t know. The children still don’t.
She had many tactics for hiding her difficult—for example, never lingering near a phone at work, in case she had to answer it and might be required to write something down.
It has never occurred to the children that their mother cannot read. She doesn’t read them stories, but then their father doesn’t either, so they find nothing surprising in the fact. Similarly they just accept that Dad is the one who writes the sick notes and reads the school reports. Now that the elder boy Tom is quite a proficient reader, Brenda can skillfully get him to read any notes brought home from school simply by asking,“What’s that all about, then?”
Brenda’s husband never guessed the truth in ten years of marriage. For one thing, he insists on handling all domestic correspondence and bills himself. A salesman for a large company, he travels a great deal and so is not around so much to spot the truth. While he’s away Brenda cores with any situations by explaining that she cannot do anything until she’s discussed it with her husband.
Brenda was very successful in her job until recently. For the last five years she had worked as waitress at an expensive restaurant, and had eventually been promoted to head waitress. She kept the thing a secret there too, and got over the practical difficulties somehow.
小题1: Brenda’s children have never found out about her problem as__________.
A.she isn’t often at home.
B.they are too young to guess the truth.
C.they find it normal to ask their father for everything.
D.they think it natural that short-sighted people like their mother don’t do much reading or writing.
小题2:What most probably made Brenda try hard to hide her difficulty?
A. Her desire to be successful in her job.          
B. Her fear of losing face.
C. Her deceitful nature.                        
D. Both A and B.
小题3:Of the following suggested titles, which is the most appropriate?
A.Brenda and Her Family
B.A Woman Who Doesn’t Wear Glasses
C.A Woman with an Empty Spectacles Case
D.The Miserable Life of a Waitress
