In writing a letter of application, bear in mind that the things a possible employer is most __4__ to want to know about are your qualifications, your achievements and your aims.The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.If the first few sentences fail to __5__ the reader's attention, the rest of the letter may not be __6__ at all.Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not to your own need or desire.For example, instead of beginning with "I saw your __7__ in today's paper." you might say "I have made a careful study of your advertising during the past six months" or "I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives __8__ your product and why they like it." Try to __9__ generalities.Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now __10__.College graduates looking for their first positions often ask "What can I __11__ in a letter? Employers want experience, which, naturally, no  __12__ has." The answer is that everything you have ever done is __13__. It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter.__14__ a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect.An excellent __15__ is to enclose (内附) a stamped, selfaddressed (写上自己地址的) envelope with your letter.That makes it easier for a possible employer to get in touch with you. | ||||

| In Shanghai's Grand Theater, a fashionable, mainly young audience applauds enthusiastically as Guo Yong takes center stage.He holds a large bushy tree branch with leaves.Blowing on one of the leaves, he produces a sound like the singing of birds as he plays a traditional Buyi folk song.Some other musicians are also playing the traditional instruments from various ethnic groups in China. It's the first time such music has ever been performed in the Grand Theater.But all this is the efforts of Zhu Zheqin, a Cantoneseborn singer, who has made it her mission to help preserve China's traditional ethnic music. Several years ago, after being appointed a United Nations Development Program ambassador, Zhu traveled through some of China's remotest regions in an attempt to document the traditional music of various minority groups.In the course other fourmonth trip, sh  e recorded more than a thousand songs.But she noticed that many of the best musicians were old, and some of the music was at risk of dying out. "I was shocked by the beauty of what I heard-it was so good," she says."But it needed support.I hope to let people see the beauty of these things in the contemporary times." So Zhu decided to introduce some of the musicians to a wider audience.By doing this, she hopes to rekindle (再次点燃) the interest of the younger generation."Young people don't like this music much; they prefer pop music and love songs.They think these songs are something their grandma sings.This kind of repackaging gives young people a new door into their heritage." Zhu believes China needs to look again at its own roots."China today is basically all Western art; in our conservatories (音乐学院) Western classical music is the top," she says."For China to really contribute to the world, we need to go on our own path.So what can represent China today?" The answer, she suggests, is to move from "made in China" to "created in China". 1. From the first paragraph, we learn that ________. A. the audience are all young people B.

Zhu Zheqin traveled to some of China's remotest regions to ________. A.record the traditional ethnic music B.help the local musicians play the music C.show the UN Chinese musical traditions D.enjoy the music of various ethnic groups 4. What is Zhu Zheqin's idea about Chinese traditional music? A. It is completely out of date. B. Only old musicians play it well. C. It needs changes to attract young people. D. It is quickly dying out. 5. What does Zhu Zheqin mean in the last paragraph? A.The traditional music should be repackaged. B.Chinese conservatories shouldn't teach Western music.

| Teens don't understand the big fuss (小题大做). As the first generation to grow up in a wired world, they hardly know a time when computers weren't around, and they eagerly catch the chance to spend hours online, chatting with friends, so what? But researchers nationwide are increasingly worried that teens are becoming isolated, less skillful at persontoperson relationships, and perhaps numb to the cheatings that are so much a part of the email world."And a teen's sense of self and values may be changed in a world where personal connections can be limitless," said Shetty Turkle. Another researcher, Robert Kraut, said he's worried about the "opportunity costs" of so much online time for youths.He found that teens who used computers, even just a few hours a week, showed increased signs of loneliness and social isolation."Chatting online may be better than watching television, but it's worse than hanging out with real friends," he said. Today's teens, however, don't see anything strange in the fact that the computer takes up a centra l place in their social lives."School is busy and full of pressure.There's almost no time to just hang out," said Parker Rice, 17."Talking online is just to catch up time." Teens say they feel good about what they say online or taking the time to think about a reply.Some teens admit that asking someone for a date, or breaking up, can be easier in message form, though they don't want to do so.But they insist there's no harm. 1. The researchers argue that ________. A. teens may develop a different sense of values B. nothing is wrong with teens' chatting online C. teens can manage their social connections D. spending hours online does much good to teens 2. Teens think that talking online can help them ________. A. use computers properly B. improve their school work C. develop an interest in social skills D. reduce their mental pressures 3. The text mainly deals with ________. A. teens' pleasant online experience B. teens' computer skills and school work C. the effects of the computer world on teens D. different opinions on teens' chatting online 4. Which of the following is TRUE? A. Teens are more skillful at persontoperson relationships. B. Teens showed decreasing signs of loneliness and social isolation. C. Chatting online is worse than hanging out with real friends. D. Asking someone for a date, or breaking up, can be more difficult in message form. 5. The purpose of the text is to ________. A. describe computer research results B. draw attention to teens' computer habits C. suggest ways to deal with problem teens D. discuss problems teens have at school |

| 读写任务 阅读下面短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。 Most people think it's fine to be “busy as a beaver (海狸). ” But actually, although beavers may work hard, often they don't get much done. Beavers are good at building dams and most beaver dams are wonders of engineering.The best ones are strongly built of trees, stones, and mud.They are wide at the bottom and narrow at the top. Beavers think nothing of building a dam more than two hundred feet long.One dam, in Montana, was more than two thousand feet long.The largest one ever seen was in New Hampshire.It stretched four thousand feet.It made a lake large enough to hold forty beaver homes. So beavers do build good dams.But they don't always build them in the right places.They just don't plan.They will build a dam across the widest part of the stream.They don't try to find a place where the stream is narrow.So a lot of their hard work is wasted. Beavers should learn that it's not enough to be busy.You have to know what you're doing, too.For example, there was one Oregon beaver that really was a worker.It decided to fix a hole in a manmade dam.After five days of work it gave up.The hole it was trying to fill was the space that boats go through.
