The aim of writing a letter of application is to help you to "sell" yourself.It should state __1__ the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have __2__.It should be simple, human, personal and brief without __3__ out any necessary fact. 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. |

For us tenyearolds, "being out in the woods" was just an excuse to do whatever we feel like for a while. We sometimes told ourselves that what we were doing in the woods was exploring (探索). Exploring was a more popular idea back then than it is today.History seemed to be mostly about explorers.Our explorations, though, seemed to have less system than the historic kind: something usually came up along the way.Say we stayed in the woods, throwing rocks, shooting frogs, picking blackberries, digging in what we were briefly persuaded was an Indian burial mound. Often we got "lost" and had to climb a tree to find out where we were.If you read a story in which someone does that successfully, be skeptical;_the topmost branches are usually too skinny to hold weight, and we could never climb high enough to see anything except other trees.There were four or five trees that we visited regularly-tall beeches, easy to climb and comfortable to sit in. It was in a tree, too, that our days of fooling around in the woods came to an end.By then some of us has reached seventh grade and had begun the rough ride of adolescence (青春期). In March, the month when we usually took to the woods again after winter, two friends and I set out to go exploring.We climbed a tree, and all of a sudden it occurred to all three of us at the same time that we really were rather big to be up in a tree.Soon there would be the spring dances on Friday evenings in the high school cafeteria.

| 阅读理解 | Many animals recognize their food because they see it.So do humans.When you see an apple or a piece of chocolate you know that these are things you can eat.You can also use other senses when you choose your food.You may like it because it smells good or because it tastes good.You may dislike some types of food because they do not look, smell or taste very nice.Different animals use different senses to find and choose their food.A few animals depend on only one of their senses, while most animals use more than one sense. Although there are many different types of food, some animals spend their lives eating only one type. The giant panda eats only one particular type of bamboo.Other animals eat only one type of food even when given the choice.A kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage, even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the garden.However, most animals have a more varied diet.The bear eats fruits and fish.The fox eats small animals, birds and fruits.The diet of these animals will be different depending on the season. Humans have a very varied diet.We often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for us.In countries such as France and Britain, people eat foods with too much sugar.This makes them overweight, which is bad for their health.Eating too much red meat and animal products, such as butter, can also be bad for the health.Choosing the right food, therefore, has become an area of study in modern life.

Enter the Red Hat Society -a group holding the belief that old ladies should have fun. "My grandmothers didn"t do anything but keep house and serve everybody. They were programmed to do that," said Emily Cornette, head of a chapter of the 7-year-old Red Hat Society. While men have long spent their time fishing and playing golf, women have sometimes seemed to become unnoticed as they age. But the generation now turning 50 is the baby boomers, and the same people who refused their parents" way of being young are now trying a new way of growing old. If you take into consideration feminism(女权主义), a bit of spare money, and better health for most elderly, the Red Hat Society looks almost inevitable(必然的). In this society, women over 50 wear red hats and purple clothes, while the women under 50 wear pink hats and light purple clothing. "The organization took the idea from a poem by Jenny Joseph that begins: "When I am an old woman, I shall wear purple. With a red hat which doesn"t go," said Ellen Cooper, who founded the Red Hat Society in 1998. When the ladies started to wear the red hats, they attracted lots of attention. "The point of this is that we need a rest from always doing something for someone else," Cooper said. "Women feel so ashamed and sorry when they do something for themselves." This is why chapters are discouraged from raising money or doing anything useful. "We"re a ladies" play group. It couldn"t be more simple," added Cooper"s assistant Joe Heywood.
