(i am not a fast worker, as you can see.)sometimes im asked how old i was when i started to write, and what made me want to write. i started early as soon as i could spell. in fact, i cant remember any time in my life when i wasnt busy writing. i dont know what caused me to do it, or why i enjoyed it, but i think children often find pleasure and satisfaction is trying to set their thoughts down on paper, either in words or in pictures. i was no good at drawing, so i used words instead. as i grew older, i found that writing can be a way of earning a living.some of my readers want me to visit their school. some want me to send a picture, or an autograph, or a book. and some ask questions about my family and my animals and my pets. much as id like to, i cant go visiting. i cant send books, either you can find them in a bookstore or a library. many children assume that a writer owns (or even makes) his own books. this is not true books are made by the publisher. if a writer wants a copy, he must buy it. thats why i cant send books. and i do not send autographs i leave that to the movie stars. i live most of the year in the country, in new england. from our windows we can look out at the sea and the mountains. i live near my married son and three grandchildren.are my stories true, you ask? no, they are imaginary tales, containing fantastic characters and events. in real life, a family doesnt have a child who looks like a mouse; in real life, a spider doesnt spin words in her web. in real life, a swan doesnt blow a trumpet. but real life is only one kind of life there is also the life of the imagination. and although my stories are imaginary, i like to think that there is some truth in them, too truth about the way people and animals feel and think and act.yours sincerely,e.b. white60. how many animal characters in e.b.whites books have been mentioned in his letter?a. 2.b. 3.c. 4.d. 5.61. which of the following has inspired e.b.white to write his famous charlottes web? a. his dream of a little boy acting like a mouse. b. his sympathy for a dying pig. c. his impression of spiders wearing skill. d. his imagination of a swan blowing a trumpet.62. which of the following may not be the question asked by e.b.whites readers? a. where do you live?b. are your stories true? c. can you come and visit our school?d. why do you send us this printed letter?63. from the letter, we can know that e.b.white _. a. could spell at a very young age b. makes a living by writing c. lives under a roof of four generations d. is busy writing animals all his lifecthe term “rsum” means a document describing ones educational qualifications and professional experience. however, guidelines(指南) for preparing a global rsum are constantly changing. the best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the company culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. the following list is a good place to start.in many countries, it is standard procedure to attach a photo or have your photo printed on your rsum. do not attach a photograph to your rsum if you are sending it to the united states, though.educational requirements differ from country to country. in most cases of “cross-border” job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not be enough. provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience. pay attention to the rsum format(格式) you usechronological(时间的) or reverse-chronological order. if you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for the reverse-chronological format, which means listing your current or most recent experience first.the level of computer technology and accessibility to the internet varies from country to country. even if a company or individual lists an e-mail address, there is no guarantee that they will actually receive your email. send a paper copy of your rsum, as well as the emailed copy, just to make sure that it is received.if you are writing your rsum in english, find out if the receiver uses british english or american english because there are variations between the two versions. although english is widely accepted today as being the universal language of business, most multinational companies will expect you to speak the language of one of the countries in which they do business, in addition to english. have your rsum prepared in both languages, and be ready for your interview to be conducted in both languages. most companies will want to see and hear proof of your language skills.be aware that paper sizes are different in different countries. the united states standard is 8 by 11 inches, while the european a4 standard is 21 by 29.7 centimeters. when you send your rsum by email, reformat it to the receivers standard. otherwise, when it is printed out, half of your material may be missing! 64. the passage is most probably intended for _.a. job hunters that seek careers abroadb. companies that do international businessc. people that are employed by companies overseas d. graduates that can speak over one foreign language65.which of the following is always advisable when a global rsum is prepared according to the passage?a. write it in american english.b. prepare it in more than two languages.c. attach or print your photo on it.d. send both a paper and an emailed copy.66.from the passage, we learn that _.a. we cant list the oldest experience first in a rsum b. asian countries may have the same standard paper sizec. a rsum can help u
