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 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 reader's attention, the rest 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 today's newspaper”. You might say “ I have made a careful 53 of your advertising during 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”.
Try to be clear about the kind of job 55 you are now applying for. College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I provide in a letter?” 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 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.

But the buyer didn't bring 40 ;he brought the police．The Rwandan authorities 41 the young gorilla to the nearby headquarters of the Mountain Gorilla Veterinary Project．The vets（兽医）there realized that she had not been given 42 food or water, but they were much more worried about something else．"Baby gorillas simply don't 43 without their mother's constant body contact," says vet Chris Whittier．If they didn't quickly establish a 44 relationship with the baby gorilla, which her caretakers named Dunia, she 45 not survive．

After six months ofloving care that included around-the-clock attention,a good diet, and a 5 1 home at the project's headquarters, Dunia was looking and acting like a 52 ,happy young gorilla should． "Dunia is sort of a shy show-off," says Whittier． "Her 53 lsgrowing and she's becoming more independent, but when she is 54 ,the first thing she does is run back to her 55 ,just like she would to her mother．"

Here's a new warning from health experts: Sitting is deadly．Scientists are increasingly warning that sitting for prolonged periods — even if you also exercise regularly — could be 36 for your health．And it doesn't matter where the sitting takes place — at the office, at school, in the car or before a computer or TV — just the overall number of hours it 37 ．
Research is preliminary, but several studies 38 people who spend most of their days sitting are more likely to be fat, have a heart attack or even die．
In an editorial 39 this week in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, Elin Ekblom-Bak of the Swedish School of Sport and Health Sciences suggested that authorities rethink how they define 40 activity to highlight the dangers of sitting．
While health officials have issued guidelines 41 minimum amounts of physical activity, they haven't suggested people try to limit how much time they spend in a seated 42 ．
"After four hours of sitting, the body starts to send 43 signals," Ekblom-Bak said．She explained that genes regulating the amount of glucoseand fat in the 44 start to shut down．
Even for people who 45 , spending long stretches of time sitting at a desk is still harmful．Tim Armstrong, a physical activity expert at the World Health Organization, said people who exercise every day — 46 still spend a lot of time sitting — might get more benefit if that exercise were spread across the day, 47 in a single bout．
That wasn't 48 news for Aytekin Can, 31, who works at a London financial company, and spends most of his days sitting 49 a computer．Several evenings a week, Can also teaches jiu jitsu, a Japanese martial art 50 wrestling, and also does Thai boxing．
"I'm sure there are some detrimental 51 of staying still for too long, but I hope that being 52 when I can helps," he said．"I wouldn't want to think the sitting could be 53 dangerous．"
Still, in a study published last year that tracked more than 17,000 Canadians for about a dozen years, researchers found people who sat 54 had a higher death risk, independently of whether or not they exercised．
Figures from a US survey in 2003-2004 found Americans spend more than half their time sitting, from working at their desks to sitting in cars．
Experts said more research is needed to 55 just how much sitting is dangerous, and what might be possible to offset those effects．

"I rarely talk with my parents or grandparents, 39 I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ," said Fox's Shadow, the online nickname (网名) used by a Senior 2 girl in China. "Eighty per cent of my classmates use QQ 40 school."
QQ is the biggest messaging 41 in China. A record shows 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October, 42 to Tencent, the company which developed QQ.

Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making 46 with strangers online. "You don't know 47 you're talking to. You should 48 be careful about who you trust online."

A 16-year-old Beijing boy, known online as Bart Simon, dislikes QQ users. "I used to chat on QQ, but I found that most people were talking 53 ," he said. Now he chats online in English, using MSN. But he spends little time chatting as he sees it as a 54 of time and money. "If you are really 55 to it, sometimes you just can't concentrate (集中精神) in class," he said.

The town I live in is about to put cameras at all traffic lights to catch people who run red lights. It 31 me of how many people I’ve seen who take the yellow light as a signal to go faster. I also can’t 32 why people don’t move when the traffic light has turned green. Above all, there are those 33 situations in which someone doesn’t even 34 that the light is red, and just keeps going; that is how many accidents happen. All these situations make me 35 about the purpose of traffic lights.
However, it’s even more 36 to imagine letting people make their own 37 at a crowded traffic crossing. Who decides who goes next? 38 I guess I do like the idea of a system to 39 traffic. And I also do my best to 40 the traffic signals: to go, to be 41 , and to stop when I’m supposed to.
It occurs to me that my 42 have done much the same for me in terms of 43 me how to live. They have given me many 44 lights: to live in harmony with others to help others, to live with 45 and purpose. They have also given me some red lights so that my 46 doesn’t goastray(走入歧途): to watch my temper, and to control my desires.
