19、rases that best fits the context. ( 12%) The purpose of a letter of application (求职信 ) is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state clearly the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have done. It should be 46 , human, personal and brief without 47 out any necessary

20、 facts. In writing a letter of application, keep in 48 that things a possible employer is most 49 to want to know about are your qualification, your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. If the first few sentences 50 to win the readers attention, the r

21、est of the letter may not be 51 at all. Try to key your 52 remarks to the needs or interests of the employer, not to your own needs or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “ I saw your advertisement (广告 ) in todays newspaper”. You might say “ I have made a careful 53 of your advertising d

22、uring the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives 54 your product and why they like it”.

23、er ” Employers want experience-which, naturally, no beginners has. The answer is that everything you have ever done is experience . It is important to write a good strong closing remark for your letter. 56 a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or

24、expect. An excellent 57 is to enclose (内附 ) a stamped, self-addressed envelope (信封 ) with your letter. That makes it easier for a possible employer to get in touch with you. 46.

When they get sick, we send them to a hospital, where children are forbidden to visit patients even when those patients are their parent

28、s. This deprives （剥夺） the dying patient of family members during the last few days of his life and it deprives the children of an experience of death, which is an important learning experience.

29、each us and how we could be of more benefit, not just to them but to the members of their families as well. We were most impressed by the fact that even those patients who were not told of their serious illness were quite aware of its potential outcome. It is important for family members, and doctor

30、s and nurses to understand these patients communication in order to truly understand their needs, fears and fantasies. Most of our patients welcomed another human being with whom they could talk openly, honestly, and frankly about their trouble. Many of them shared with us their reat need to be info

31、rmed, to be kept up-to-date on their medical condition and to be told when the end was near. We found out that patients who had been dealt with openly and frankly were better able to deal with the coming of death and finally to reach a true stage of acceptance before death. 82.The elders of todays A

Teachers were also saying that sometimes students might use phone

37、 messages to cheat during exams. She said some schools had tried to ban mobile phones. Some parents felt unhappy because they couldnt get in touch with their children.

38、t school offices. They also said there were many reasons why the students should not have mobile phones at school: they were easy to lose and were a distraction from studies.

Following a game, many parents and coaches direct their attention on the outcome（ =result） and find fault with young pe
