The purpose of a letter of application(求职信) is to help you to "sell" yourself. 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 the things a possible employer is most   40  to want to know about are your qualifications(条件), your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part.   41  the first few sentences fail to   42  the reader’s 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 need or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your   45  in today’s 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(概述). 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 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(内附) a stamped, self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it   55  for a possible employer to get in touch with you.

 It was 4 o'clock in the morning when I received the phone call．

    “This is the emergency room calling and your son was just  41  in with severe burns on his face，neck and arms．We have called for a（n）  42   and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle．” Seattle was 350 miles from his college，so we knew immediately this was  43  ．

    The doctor described the  44  ，which caused the burns．At 6 am，our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers in the courtyard of their apartment．When they   45   the charcoal（木炭），it burst into flames because they had sprayed too much gasoline（petrol）．The flames  46  my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to well over his head．

       47  ，one of the boys was quick-minded，grasped my son，and  48  him on the grass．While it saved his life，it was not in  49   to save him from severe burns and the terrible scars（伤疤）．

    After he  50  from the treatments，the doctors told him they would not do plastic surgery（整容）for 6 months  51  it takes that long for the skin to stop shrinking and wrinkling．So，he had to return to college with scars typical of severe burns．

    When I was a child, my mother told my sister，who had a 10-inch, very  52__ scar on her arm，“Nancy，if you ignore the scar，other people will ignore it．It does not mean they will not  53  it，but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you．’’

    I  54   this wisdom on to my son．He took my advice to  55  and returned to school with his head held high--glad he was alive．

    By the end of the six-month waiting period，he decided that the scars did not  56  , so he made the  57  to give up any plastic surgery．

    We all have “scars” that we believe  58  people to keep away from us．And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked different，or dressed differently，people would like us better． 

     But you see，people will only judge you by your looks，or your clothes，if you are judging yourself by these same  59  standards．Put your imperfections out of your mind and concentrate on what you value  60  yourself，and your beauty will shine through．

Eleven-year-old Angela was attacked by a rare   21  affecting her nerve system. She was unable to walk and her movement was    22  in other ways as well. The doctors did not hold much    23   of her ever recovering from this illness. They    24  she'd spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair.They said that few, if any, were able to come back to    25 after suffering from this disease .The little girl was   26 . There, lying in her hospital bed, she would swear that she was   27  going to be walking again one day.

She was moved to a specialized    28 hospital in the San Francisco Bay area. All   29  that could be applied to her case were used. The doctors were moved by her undefeatable spirit. They taught her about imaging about seeing herself walking. If it would do   30 else, it would at least give her hope and something   31 to do in the long waking hours in her bed. Angela would work as hard as possible in physical treatments, and in exercise sessions. But she worked just as hard lying there faithfully doing her   32  , visualizing herself moving, moving, moving!

One day,   33 she was attempting, with all her might, to imagine her legs moving again, it seemed as though something  34  happened: the bed moved! It began to move around the room! She    35 out, "Look what I'm doing! Look! Look! I can do it”. I moved! I moved!"

Of course, at this very moment everyone else in the hospital was screaming, too, and running to a   36 place. People were screaming, equipment was  37 and glass was breaking. You see, it was the terrible San Francisco earthquake.  38 don't tell that to Angela. She    39  that she did it.

And now only a few years later, she's back in school, on her own   40  . No crutches, no wheelchair. You see, anyone who can shake the earth between San Francisco and Oakland can defeat a little disease, can't they?
