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.

网友回答
(答案→)D
解析：本文是叙述怎样写求职信，并详细描述了在求职信中的注意事项。
【小题1】 D表示“清楚地”说明你想要找的工作。
【小题2】A根据前面“你的能力是什么”，可知后面是“你已经‘做’了些什么工作”。
【小题3】 B根据后面的 any necessary facts 判断，不要“遗漏”任何必要的事实。
【小题4】 C keep in mind 是固定短语，意思是“记住”。
【小题5】D 表示可能，后面跟不定式只能用 likely，其余选项都不正确。
【小题6】C 根据下文的主句判断，前面是条件句，因此选 if。
【小题7】 A 从后面主句中 the rest of the letter may not be… 可得出答案，如果前面的一些句子不能“赢得”读者的注意的话。
【小题8】B 根据上文，如果起初几句话不能引起读者注意的话，其余部分就可能不会再“读”了。
【小题9】D根据前面两个 to 得出答案。
【小题10】C 因为是应聘者，所以在报纸上看到的是“广告”。
【小题11】 B 根据上文，应聘者是从报纸上看到的招聘广告，经过“研究”之后才来应聘的。
【小题12】A 根据后面的 product(产品)判断应是“使用”。
【小题13】D 根据下文判断要弄清楚具体应聘的工作，以“避免”笼统性。
【小题14】 A 根据上下文所叙述的是“应聘”之事可得出答案。
【小题15】C 根据句意“在信中提供的是什么”得出答案，而supply是“供给、供应”不符句意。
【小题16】D 根据前面的“first”一词判断答案是“beginner”。
【小题17】B根据句意“你做的任何工作可称做“经验”(experience)得出答案。
【小题18】C 根据下文得出答案“为了应聘‘做’一些特殊的要求或需要”。
【小题19】B 根据后面“随信内附一个贴有邮票，写有你的地址的信封”是一个好的“建议”。
【小题20】 A 根据上一句所说，这样“更容易”使雇者与你联系。
