The Americans are desperate, and with good reason, they have successfully kept the U.S. economy in__21__ after the financial crisis, but the problem is far from over. Despite a moderate recovery, the lack of job creation is serious. Many U.S. leaders rightly see jobs as the key to their country’s __22__and avoiding a second dip. The lack of a solution is fast becoming a political one as the November elections approach. Recent __23__ to get tough with China are gaining momentum（势头）in various quarters. The charge that China is the __24__of the U.S.-led financial crisis in the West looks ridiculous in the East. But we should at least give it a proper response.
The logic goes like __25__: China is the cause of America’s cheap money, and cheap money is the cause of the crisis. This is like saying a kid is corrupt(挥霍无度) __26__ he has a rich father who makes his wild spending possible; to cure the kid’s problem, you have to rein in（鞭笞）the father. This is not a very good parallel. But the United States is spending the money it borrowed from China.
There is a big gap between cheap money and wild spending on one side and irresponsible lending on __27__. You can pay down your mortgage faster and spend only what you have left, or you can take out a second mortgage to have an expensive vacation and buy a new S.U.V. Many Americans __28__ the latter path. But who is __29__? The banks? Yes! But China?
The West must recognize that its problem — and its solution — come from within. What China did or did not do did not create the financial crisis. What China will do or not do would not solve their problems. But China can help and it is willing. And you are not going to get it by getting __30__ with China.

阅读下面短文，从短文后16—25所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to “sell” yourself. It should state 16 the job you want, and should tell what your abilities are and what you have 17 . It should be simple, personal and brief without leaving out any necessary fact.
In writing a letter of application, keep in 18 that the things a possible employer is most 19 to want to know about are your achievements and your aims. The opening paragraph is perhaps the most important part. If the first few sentences fail to draw the reader’s attention, the rest of the letter may not be read at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of your employer. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your 20 in today’s paper,” you might say “I have made a careful study of your advertising during the past six months” or “I have made a survey in my neighborhood to find out how many housewives use your product and why they like it.”
Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now 21 . College graduates looking for their first positions often ask “What can I 22 in a letter? Employers want experience, which, naturally, no 23 has.” The answer is that everything you have ever done is experience.
It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter. 24 a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite(明确的) to do or expect. An excellent idea is to enclose(内附) a stamped self-addressed envelope with your letter. That makes it 25 for a possible employer to get in touch with you.
