It should state 36 the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have 37 . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without 38 out any necessary facts. In writing a letter of application, keep in 39 that things a possible employer is most 40 to want to know about are your qualification, your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. 41 the first few sentences fail to 42 the readers attention, the rest of the letter may not be 43 at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer, not 44 your own needs or desires. For example, instead of beginning with I saw your 45 in todays newspaper. You might say I have made a careful 46 of your advertising during the past six months or I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives 47 your product and why they like it.Try to 48 generalities(笼统). Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now 49 . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask What can I 50 in a letter? Employers want experience-which, naturally, no 51 has. The answer is that everything you have ever done is 52 .It is important to write a good strong closing remark for your letter. 53 a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect. An excellent 54 is to enclose a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it 55 for a possible employer to get in touch with you.36. A. clearlyB.carefullyC. obviouslyD. easily37. A foundB.done.C. knownD. heard38. A. sendingB.takingC. leavingD. picking39. A. brainB.sightC. orderD. mind40. A. probableB.possibleC. likelyD. able41. A. WhileB.AlthoughC. AsD.

Lifelong learning is attitudinal; that one can and should be open to new ideas, decisions, skills or behaviors. Lifelong learning throws the well-known rule “You cant teach an old dog new tricks.” out of the door. Lifelong learning provides the general public with learning opportunities at all ages and in numerous contexts: at work, at home and through leisure activities, not just through formal channels such as school and higher education. Lifelong education is often achieved through distance learning or e-learning, continuing education, home schooling or correspondence courses. It also includes postgraduate programs for those who want to improve their qualifications, bring their skills up to date or retrain for a new line of work. Internal corporate training (内部全员培训) has similar goals, with the concept of lifelong learning used by organizations to promote a more dynamic employee base, better able to react in a quick manner to a rapidly changing climate. In later life, especially in retirement, continued learning takes various forms, crossing traditional academic bounds (限制范围) and including recreational activities.One of the reasons why lifelong education has become so important is the fast development of scientific and technological progress. Despite the increased period of primary, secondary and university education, the knowledge and skills acquired there are usually not sufficient for a professional career spanning (跨越) three or four decades.60. The philosophy of lifelong learning goes against the concept that “_” A. Whoever cares to learn will always find a teacher. B. Its never too late to learn. C. You cant teach an old dog new tricks. D. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.61. What is the main idea behind lifelong education? A. To force people to keep in learning new skills throughout their working life. B. To allow people to have access to education throughout their life. C. To prevent students from learning at school. D. To provide teachers with extra income.62. The second paragraph mainly tells us _. A. how lifelong learning developed B. why lifelong learning is important C. about the definition of lifelong learning D. about the forms of lifelong learning63. The underlined word “sufficient” in the last paragraph can be replaced by “_”. A. enough B. popular C. well-educated D. well-informedCThere is an old saying in English: laughter is the best medicine until recently, few people took the saying very seriously. Now, however, doctors have begun to investigate laughter and the effects it has on the human body. They have found evidence that laughter really can improve peoples health.Tests were carried out to study the effects of laughter on the body. People watched funny films, while doctors checked their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and muscle. It was found that laughter has similar effects to physical exercise. It increases blood pressure, the heart rate and the rate of breathing; it also works several groups of muscles in the face, the stomach, and even feet. If laughter exercises the body, it must be beneficial.Other tests have shown that laughter appears to be capable of reducing the effects of pain on the body. In one experiment doctors produced pain in groups of students who listened to different radio programs. The group which tolerate the pain for the longest time was the group which listened to a funny program. The reason why laughter can reduce pain seems to be that it helps to produce endorphins (内啡肽) in the brain. These are natural chemicals which decrease both stress and pain.There is also some evidence to suggest that laughter helps the bodys immune system , that is, the system which fights infection. In an experiment, one group of students watched a funny video while another group served as the control group-in other words, a group with which to compare the first group. Doctors checked the blood of the student in both groups and found that the people in the group that watched the video had an increase in the activity of their white blood cells, that is, the cell which fight infection.As a result of these discoveries, some doctors and psychiatrists in the United States now hold laughter clinics, in which they try to improve their patients condition by encouraging them to laugh. They have found that even if their patients do not really feel like laughing, making them smile is enough to produce beneficial effects similar to those caused by laughter. 64. We can learn from the first paragraph that laughter_. A. has been investigated long since B. is related to some illness C. is good for ones health D. has no effect on the body65. Doctors have found that laughter_ A. has similar effects to physical exerciseB. keeps down blood pressureC. decrease the heart rate D. increase stress 66. Which of the following statements is NOT true of laughter?A. It reduces the pain B. It can cure cancer C. It improves the bodys immune system D. It exercises the body67. The writers attitude towards laughter is _A. Critical B. Doubtful C. Negative D. Positive DIt may seem to be a hard task to trace back the history of rap music, though you often see the informal music associated with highly informal dance style. As far as the origin of rap music is concerned, most people agree that it is from Afro-American andLatino Streetculture ofNew York City. Not only in this city but in the surrounding areas there is the influence of African people and their culture.Rap is a vocal (口头的) style in which the performer speaks rhythmically and in rhyme, generally to a beat. The term of rap music is the same with hip-hop music typically-consisting of a rhythmic vocal style called rap. If we see it carefully, then we will definitely notice that the music usually is sung at higher pitches (调). Most of the time rap music is associated with chorus. Though rap music was primarily an American music style with African influence over its music and lyrics, recently it has been spread to almost the entire world.There is hardly any country or nation where rap music cannot be seen in some form or another, and it is one of the most popular music styles among the youngsters. However, when it comes to its history, it is believed that hip-hop or rap music started in the early 1970s，and gained much popularity throughout the world during the late 1970s and early 1980s.The history of rap music and hip-hop music is full of controversies (争议) and bans, as the lyrics sometimes relate to drugs and crime; even most famous pop stars and hip-h
