Many people of my generation(代，一代) say that there is no hope for the future because of the way that   21       people behave today.
Their first argument（论点） is that when we were young we used to look after the 22     people in our community and help them. They also say that young people today don’t   23      about anything or anyone. However, I think the reason why we looked after older people was that we had no   24     . People had to live with their   25     and grandparents because they had no money. Young people today earn more and have more   26      to live where they want.
Their second argument is that in our day we didn’t expect to be given jobs ---and that young people now don’t look for jobs, but just complain（抱怨） about   27    . On the other hand, things were easier in the past and it was always easy to get a job if you had friends and contacts（关系）. It is really   28      today.
In conclusion I think there is hope for the   29      . This generation, like generations before them, has new   30       as well as old problems. If they learn from our mistakes the world will be a better place in future.

The purpose of a letter of application(求职信) is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state__16___ the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have ___17___. It should be simple, human, personal and brief without ___18___ out any necessary facts.
In writing a letter of application, keep in ___19___ that the things a possible employer is most ___20___ to want to know about are your qualifications(条件), your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. ___21___ the first few sentences fail to ___22___ the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be __23___ at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not ___24___ your own need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your ___25___ in today’s newspaper,” you might say “I have made a careful ___26___ of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives ___27___ your product and why they like it. ”
Try to ___28___ generalities. Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now ___29___. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I ___30___ in a letter? Employers want experience—which, naturally, no ___31___ has.” The answer is that everything you have ever done is ___32___.
It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. ___33___ a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent ___34___ is to enclose(内附) a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it ___35___ for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
