Although I had left school against the advice of my teachers, I had, without telling anyone, tried to continue my studies in literature(文學(xué))at evening classes. It was a tiresome walk from one end of the city to another and to sit among adults was uninteresting. I was the youngest in the class, so the friendship I knew at school was absent, I put up with it for a short period. It was too long a walk on cold winter's nights and it was hard to put my heart into Shakespeare with wet shoes and trousers. So I continued reading books and started writing poetry at home.

  By chance, I won some prizes and award(獎勵)for literature. A young woman from a TV company came to the college one day. She told me that I had won a national poetry award. I stared at her in astonishment and disbelieved her. She wanted to make a short film about me, to which I said:“No, I couldn't do that.” Not that I had any real excuse, I was just frightened. In the end she persuaded me that I should do it the following day.

  So I did. They made a short film of me reading one of my poems and I became more interested in literature than ever. I wondered what I should do after this, and decided some weeks later that I could not imagine myself spending the rest of my days dealing with machines. So one evening, I hesitatingly(猶豫地)told my parents that I wanted to return to school. They were greatly surprised and, I think, a little afraid but they did not try to persuade me not to. They wanted to know if I was sure, if I knew what it meant and whether I realized that if I gave up my job training, it would be very difficult to get a good job. But nothing could stop me, and they asked about the matter not further.

(1)Which of the following has more probably been discussed in the paragraph above this passage? ________.

[  ]

A.The writer's unhappy childhood.

B.The poor teaching quality of the writer's school.

C.The writer's leaving school against his teachers' advice.

A.he found it difficult to make friends with his classmates

B.he had to walk a long distance to the evening school

C.he could not put his heart into reading books after he was caught in the rain

D.a(chǎn)ll of the above

(3)After his success, the writer ________.

[  ]

A.decided to get a good job

B.decided to continue his studies in literature at the evening school

C.decided to return to the school he had left

D.began to feel very important and proud

(4)Which of the following is NOT true?

[  ]

A.His parents worried that he would have no future if he returned to school.

B.His parents worried that he would leave school again.

C.It was difficult for one who studied literature to get a job.

D.His parents did not want him to continue his education.

答案:D;D;B;C
解析:

(1)從全文內(nèi)容來看,作者本人“上學(xué)和寫詩有很大聯(lián)系”,“后來辭去工作再回到學(xué)校學(xué)習(xí)”是重點(diǎn),因此,在本段之前,討論他當(dāng)時是否應(yīng)該離開學(xué)?赡苄宰畲。

The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to “sell” yourself.  It should state   1   the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have   2  . It should be simple, human, personal and brief without   3   out any necessary fact.

In writing a letter of application,  keep in   4   that the things a possible employer is most   5   to want to know about are your qualifications(條件), your achievements and your aims.  The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.   6   the first few sentences fail to   7   the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be   8   at all.  Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not   9   your own need or desires.  For example,  instead of beginning with “I save your   10   in today’s paper”, you might say “I have made a careful   11   of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives   12   your product and why they like it”.
