Dear Mr. John Simons,
I was pleased to see your advertisement for the position of Chief Accountant in the October 31 edition of World Star Newspaper.
I have been interested in your corporation for some time and have particularly noticed the recent achievements she has made with her product development program. The article by the CEO, Mr. Jefferson, in the Economic Review of February last year, gave some particular insights into development in this field.
I would like to apply for the position advertised. As well as holding the qualifications requested I also have relevant background that would make me a useful member of your corporation. Four years of college have trained me in accounting and full charge bookkeeping through trial balance. My 30 credits in accounting and courses in electronic data processing have equipped me to work with computer-based companies like yours. Training in business writing, human relations, and psychology should help me achieve solid rapport with them. And advanced studies in investment accounting will enable me to analyze the investing prospects from a planning perspective.
Because your company specializes in investment, my work experience could also be beneficial. After two years as a part-time financial analyst at George Commercial Group, I gained some practical knowledge in investment forecasting and decisionmaking. My accomplishments at that company were acknowledged by a substantial salary increase.
Mr. White, vice- manager of the City Bank, and other references on the enclosed resume will confirm you my potential for the accountant position.
At a time convenient for you, I would appreciate the opportunity to discuss my qualifications for beginning a career with Walters Corporation. You may contact me at the cell phone number in the resume or the address on the letterhead.
Thank you for your consideration!
Sincerely yours,
Allen Porter

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.
Interest in pursuing international careers has soared in recent years, enhanced by chronic (长久的) personnel shortages that are causing companies to search beyond their home borders for talent.
Professionals seek career experience outside of their home countries for a variety of reasons. They may feel the need to recharge their batteries with a new challenge. They may want a position with more responsibility that encourages creativity and initiative. Or they may wish to expose their children to another culture, and the opportunity to learn a second language.
When applying for a job, one usually has to submit a resume or curriculum vitae (CV). The two terms generally mean the same thing: a one-or two-page document describing one's educational qualifications and professional experience. However, guidelines for preparing a resume are constantly changing. The best advice is to find out what isappropriate regarding the corporate (公司) culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The challenge will be to embrace two or more cultures in one document. The following list is a good place to start.
● "Educational requirements differ from country to country. In almost every case of 'cross-border' job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not bean adequatedescription. Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience."
●Pay attention to the resume format you use-chronological or reverse-chronological order. Chronological order means listing your 'oldest' work experience first. Reverse-chronological order means listing your current or most recent experience first. Most countries have preferences about which format is most acceptable. If you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for the reverse-chronological format.
●If you are submitting your resume in English, find out if the recipient (收件人) uses British English or American English because there are variations between the twoversions. For example, university education is often referred to as 'tertiary education' in the United Kingdom, but this term is almost never used in the United States. A reader who is unfamiliar with these variations may assume that your resume contains errors.21. Companies are hiring more foreign employees because ________.

M: Well, the main purpose of a resume is to convince an employer to give you a chance for an interview. Generally, there are two kinds of resume. One is familiar to us, the one we call "tombstone". This kind of resume lists your educational background and working experience in time order. The other one "Functional" is more descriptive and fun to read. It may bring more opportunities for an interview.
F: I see. But from the prospective employers you have met, which is used more often？
M: It's convenient to have "tombstone" for certain occasions. But many prospective employers throw away most of these unrequested "tombstone" lists, preferring to interview the applicants with the lively resume rather than the dead one.
F: Can you give us some idea on how to write a functional resume that will get read？
M: As a matter of fact, it's not so difficult to write a resume that makes you come alive and look interesting to employers. First of all, in order to write a resume others will read with enthusiasm, you have to feel important about yourself. Then, try to sell what you can do rather than who you are. Translate your personality traits, character, accomplishments and achievements into skill areas. Believe it or not, there are at least five thousand skill areas in the world of work.
F: Another point is that most people tend to be modest when writing a resume. What do you think of that？
M: That's a good question. Many people think they don't have any ability. What we should remember is that everyone has ability and maybe one of yours is just what an employer is looking for if only you show it.
F: In the job market today, there are some women who want to return to salaried employment when they no longer want to be a housewife. Do you have any suggestions for them？
M: Well, if you are returning to the work force after fifteen years as a parent, simply write a short paragraph, like a summary of background in place of list of experience in time order. Don't apologize for working as a mother; it's the hardest job of all.
F: It seems that many people have no idea about how to find personal accomplishment. How do you think of this？
M: There is nothing special in it. You can simply take four or five hours off and write down every accomplishment in your life, on or off the job; that made you effective and unique. Study the list and try to spot patterns. In the process of doing so, you will identify your remarkable skills. Once you discover patterns, give names to your cluster of accomplishments, for instance, leadership skills, budget management skills, child development skills, etc.
F: Writing a resume is really a complicated job.
M: It really is. It may take four drafts or more and several weeks before you are ready to show it to a stranger for reaction. When you are satisfied, print it instead of photocopying it because it shows an employer that you regard job hunting as serious work, worth doing right.
F: Thank you, Mr Schuman. Those are really helpful advice.

？For each question 23-30, mark one letter (A, B or C) for the correct answer.
