2.Interviews are difficult to secure for job seekers these days and knowing how to write a cover letter could mean the difference between securing one or being disregarded as a candidate.These letters represent the beginning of the interview process thus care should be taken when formulating one.Employers will consider cover letters as part of the vetting(审查) process when streamlining the applicant pool.The purpose of cover letters is to provide a summary of an applicant's background in relation to an advertised job position.
First of all,a cover letter should indicate knowledge of the position being applied to.In many cases,applicants will use the same letter when applying to multiple jobs.Employers will look at this"form"letter and conclude that the applicant is not really interested in their company.Applicants should provide a general summary of why they should be considered for an interview by stating qualifications and experience related to the job.This need not be long as a few lines can usually suffice.
It is important to note that proper structure,correct grammar and spelling are also taken into consideration.It shows the employer that you are serious about the interview process by taking the time and care to formulate the cover letter in a professional manner.This can be the difference between winning the interview or going into the discarded pile.
The basic structure is as follows.1.Address the proper hiring manager in the organization.If possible,try to be specific in naming the individual.If this isn't possible,a"Dear Sir"or"Dear Madame"is a perfectly respectful salutation to use.2.State briefly why your experience would be a good match to the job.You need not write a summary but a few sentences to show your interests and understanding of the job requirements and duties.3.Finish with a persuasive closing why you should be considered for the position.

35.Writing a cover letter is aimed toA.
A.earn an interview   
B.show applicant's sincerity
C.know about the job       
D.satisfy employer's requirement

12.A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present.On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office,a street urchin (顽童) was walking around the shining car."Is this your car,Paul?"he asked.
Paul answered,"Yes,my brother gave it to me for Christmas."The boy was surprised."You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you anything?Boy,I wish…"He hesitated(犹豫).
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for.He was going to wish he had a brother like that.But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.

"Oh yes,I'd love that."
After a short ride,the boy turned and with his eyes shining,said,"Paul,would you mind driving in front of my house?"
Paul smiled a little.He thought he knew what the boy wanted.He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car.But Paul was wrong again."Will you stop where those two steps are?"the boy asked.
He ran up to the steps.Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back,but he was not coming fast.He was carrying his little crippled (残疾的) brother.He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
"There he is,Buddy,just like I told you upstairs.His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent.And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about."
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car.The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

13.For eighty-four days old Santiago had not caught a single fish.At first a young boy,Manolin,had shared his bad fortune,but after the fortieth luckless day the boy's father told his son to go in another boat.From that time on,Santiago worked alone.The boy loved the old fisherman and always helped him with money and food.Usually,they would talk about the fish they had taken in luckier times or about American baseball after supper.While at night,alone in his cottage,Santiago dreamed of lions on the beaches of Africa,where he had gone years before.He no longer dreamed of his dead wife.
On the eighty-fifth day,Santiago set off to fish before dawn.Two of his baits (饵) were fresh tunas (金枪鱼) the boy had given him,as well as sardines (沙丁鱼) to cover his hooks.Then he set his lines which went straight down into deep dark water.
As the sun rose he saw other boats in toward shore.A bird showed him where dolphins were chasing some flying fish.This time Santiago saw tuna jumping in the sunlight.A small one took the hook on his line.Pulling the fish aboard,the old man thought it a good fortune.
Toward noon a marlin,a common fish in the sea,started eating the bait which was one hundred meters down.Gently the old man played the fish,a big one,as he knew from the weight on the line.At last he struck to settle the hook(固定好鱼钩).The fish did not come out of the surface.Instead,it began to pull the boat to the northwest.The old man followed it.Although he was alone and no longer strong,he had his skill and knew many tricks.He waited patiently for the fish to be tired.
It was cold after the sunset.When something took one of his remaining baits,he cut the line with his knife.Once the marlin leaned suddenly,pulling Santiago forward on his face and cutting his cheek.By dawn his left hand was cramped (抽筋的).The fish had headed northward; there was no land in sight.Hungry,he cut pieces from the tuna and chewed them slowly.
That morning the fish jumped.Seeing it,Santiago knew he had hooked the biggest marlin he had ever seen.Then the fish went down and turned toward the east.Santiago drank a little water from the bottle during the hot afternoon.
Close to nightfall a dolphin took the small hook he had rebaited.He lifted it aboard,careful.After he had rested,he cut meat from the dolphin and kept also the two flying fish he found in its stomach.That night he slept.He awoke to feel the line running through his fingers as the fish jumped.Feeding line slowly,he tried to tire the marlin.After the fish slowed its run,he washed his cut hands in sea water and ate one of the flying fish.At sunrise the marlin began to circle.Faint(眩晕的),he worked to bring the big fish nearer with each turn.Almost exhausted,he finally drew his big fish alongside and drove in the harpoon (鱼叉).The fish was two feet longer than the boat.No fish like it had ever been seen in Havana harbor.
An hour later,he sighted the first shark,a fierce Mako,and it came in fast to chase after the dead marlin.The old man struck the shark with his harpoon.The Mako rolled and sank,carrying the harpoon with it and leaving the marlin bloody.He knew the smell would spread.Watching,he saw two sharks closing in.He struck at one with his knife and watched it sliding down into deep water.The other he killed while it tore at(撕扯) the flesh of the marlin.When the third appeared,he thrust (刺) it with the knife.The other sharks came at sunset.At first he tried to beat them with the tiller (舵柄) from the boat,but his hands were bleeding and there were too many in the sea.In the darkness,as he steered(掌舵) toward the harbor of Havana,he heard them hitting the boat again and again.But the old man thought only of his steering and his great tiredness.He had gone out too far and the sharks had beaten him.He knew they would leave him nothing but the stripped skeleton of the big marlin.
All lights were out when he sailed into the little harbor and beached his boat.He could just make out the white backbone and the upstanding tail of the fish.Once he fell under their weight and lay patiently until he could gather his strength to go on.In his cottage he fell on his bed and went to sleep.
55.The above story is adapted fromC.
A.Treasure Island               
B.The Adventures Of Tom Sawyer
C.The Old Man And The Sea

12.When Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502,he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings.So he thought the land must be rich in gold.He named the place Costa Rica,which means"rich coast"in Spanish.
Though little gold was found,Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas.Coffee is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported  to other countries like America and West Germany.Bananas are the country's second most important export.Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits,corn and beans for their own use.Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.
Education is very important to the Costa Ricans.Almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age.Boys and girls go to separate schools.Classes begin in March and end in November.The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.
