In writing a letter of application, keep in 4 that the things a possible employer is most 5 to want to know about are your qualifications（条件）, your achievements and your aims.The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. 6 the first few sentences fail to 7 the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be 8 at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not 9 your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your 10 in today's paper. ”you might say“I have made a careful 11 of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighbourhood to find out how many housewives 12 your product and why they like it.”

Try to 13 generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now 14 . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask“ What can I 15 in a letter? Employers want experience, which, naturally, no 16 has. ”The answer is that everything you have ever done is 17 .

It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. 18 a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent 19 is to enclose（内附）a stamped, self - addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it 20 for a

possible employer to get in touch with you.

Without proper planning, tourism can cause problems. For example, too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants

of a country. If tourists create too much traffic, the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy. They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely. They forget how much tourism can help the country’s economy. It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them. Tourism should help a country, keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists. Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants.

Too much tourism can be a problem. If tourism grows too quickly, people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry. This means that other parts of the country’s economy can suffer.

On the other hand, if there is not enough tourism, people can lose jobs. Businesses can also lose money. It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels, airports, air terminals, first- class roads, and other support facilities（配套设施）needed by tourist attractions. For example, a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build. If this room is not used most of the time, the owners of the hotel lose money.

Building a hotel is just a beginning. There must be many support facilities as well, including roads to get to the hotel, electricity, sewers to handle waste, and water. All of these support facilities cost money. If they are not used because there are not enough tourists , jobs and money are lost.

A. It is extremely important to develop tourism. B. Building roads and hotels is essential. C. Support facilities are highly necessary.

C. other parts of a country’s economy won’t benefit from tourism much D. we can't build too many support facilities

When Andrea Peterson landed her first teaching job, she faced the daunting task of creating a music program with almost no money for equipment or supplies in a climate where standards-based learning was the focus and music just provided a break for students and teachers．

For her drive and creativity in overcoming those challenges, she’s been named national teacher of the year．

Principal Waynes Kettler said he’s worked with many outstanding teachers in his 22 years as an educator, but Peterson is “just that one step above anybody I’ve ever worked with before．”

Kettler and others at Monte Cristo Elementary School talk about the ways she has introduced the learning from other classrooms into her music program and her creativity in working around things such as the lack of money for new music．

When students were reading S．E．Hinton’s novel The Outsiders in their regular classroom, Peterson helped them write a 30-minute play with scenes from the book．Then they chose three Broadway tunes that focused on race, equality and social justice, the themes of the book．Peterson composed two other songs herself after classroom discussions about the play and the book．

The honor means a lot to residents of Granite Foils．It’s inspiring to know that people from small towns even win national honors．

As national teacher of the year, Peterson will spend the more years outside the classroom, as a national and international spokeswoman for education．

Not surprisingly, she is a big believer in the value of arts education. She said it’s essential for schools to offer classes such as art or music and physical education because for some kids one of those subjects is the only thing that attracts them to come back to school day after day．

A．discouraging B．interesting C．creative D．unbearable

27．When Peterson began her teaching career, ____________． A．music was a focus of learning in most schools

B．the environment was favorable to music teaching C．the school lacked teaching facilities for music D．financial support for music programs was unavailable

A．She wrote plays on themes of race, equality and social justice． B．She made use of the contents of other classes in her teaching． C．She organized classroom discussions of Broadway tunes． D．She helped students compose songs by themselves． 30．In Peterson’s opinion, ____________． A．art, music and PE classes are all important B．more subjects should be offered to students C．students should be motivated to attend art classes D．arts education is more important than other subjects 参
