Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to apply for the Sales Manager position on the careers page of the King Computers website. Last year King Computers added five new offices, making it the largest computer sales and services company in the state. I understand that one of the company’s aims is to expand outside of the Washington area. I hope to have the chance to play an important role in your growing business. As a sales manager with Diamond Computers, I expanded our sales area by 150% in two years. I am sure that my leadership and experience will help King Computers achieve its goals, too.

I have worked in the field of computer sales for over fifteen years. Now I am a sales manager for Diamond Computers based in Seattle. I am skilled at managing accounts and increasing sales revenue(收益). Last year, my team produced $960,000 in revenue---the highest in the company. I am experienced at planning sales strategies(策略), developing advertising campaigns, and creating sales budgets(预算).

King Computers is well-known for its customer-first philosophy. In my fifteen years in sales, this way of thinking is the most important thing I have learned. A sales strategy should never be just about getting money from customers. I believe it’s important to take the time to listen to each customer---to understand what he or she really needs. As a sales manager for King Computers, I will be in a great position to do just that.

If you are looking for a skilled sales manager with a history of success, I would be delighted to speak with you.

I look forward to hearing from you soon.

Sincerely,

Paul Reubens

There are many attractive places in the world and among them is Portland. Portland is a seaport and the largest city in the northwestern US state of Oregon. 1.(locate) at where two local rivers meet, the city was2.(tradition) known as a place for water transportation. While it once had the unfortunate reputation as one of the most dangerous port cities in the world due to wild organized crime, Portland set out 3.(make) changes in the 1960s.

In a recent survey, Portland ranks as the 4.(nine) most popular US city. It is frequently recognized as one of the world’s most environmentally-friendly cities because 5. its well-built pedestrian walkways, large community of cyclists and convenient public transportation. Its climate is marked by warm, dry summers and cool, rainy winters. This climate is ideal for growing roses, and Portland 6.(call) the “City of Roses” for over a century.

However, today’s Portland is better known for its music. In 2013, The Guardian named the city’s music scene as one of the “ 7.(much) lively” in the United States. And the New York Times called it not just “the capital of karaoke” in the US8.also “a most exciting music is the large number of movie theaters 9. (serve) beer, called “brew and view” theaters. That may be because Portland is known as a city of beer, 10.has the largest number of beer breweries of any city in the world.

In terms of food, Portland has also been named the best city in the world for street food. Food carts are extremely popular there, with over 600 licensed carts around the city.

The Internet has become a way of life for many people around the world.So what would happen if one fine morning,you woke up to find the Internet has no existence? How would your life be changed? Well,your lifestyle might be impacted.If you were an Internet addict,you would find that your life has come to an end.With no online facilities,a considerable part of your time would be spent waiting in long lines at banks,post offices or government offices.You would be waiting for days or even weeks for your mail to arrive from another corner of the world.Suddenly,you would realize that your fast?paced life is running at a snail’s pace.

Without the Internet,your socializing would also be impacted.If you’d gotten very used to socializing online,you would now be clueless as to how you could share the pictures of your recent trip you went for with your friends across the globe.It would be difficult to interact with people living outside your locality.You might have to become a member of a club or a community in your neighborhood to make new friends.With no online social media,you would find yourself saying this very often: Let’s go and talk to them!

With no way to use emails,instant messaging,chat or social media,we would have to take advantage of the option of a telephone conversation,or sending a snail mail.Communication via the internet is free,whereas the options available otherwise would cost you extra money and time.Your would have to write letters and buy stamps,as we used to do before the Internet became popular.

The Internet has become a huge sea of information and resources.No Internet would mean no instant and easy access to information at the click of a button.You would have to walk down to your local library and actually search the whole place to get the information you’re looking for,with little chances that you’ll find what you seek instantly.The students who were accustomed to using the Internet for completing their assignments would have a tough time.There would be no way to get an education without actually going to a school or a college physically.

Without the Internet,things at your workplace would be turned upside down.If your work was largely Internet?based,your company might have to shut down.If your work involved only minor use of the Internet,for example,using online system to acquire statistics from the Internet,this simple task would now be a complicated and time?consuming process.Your desk would be full of documents and files,and you would have a nightmare searching or sorting them out by hand.In any case,life without the Internet would seem like a nightmare! So enjoy living in the paradise we call the Internet and make wise use of it!

Can You Imagine the World Without the Internet?

A class teacher, in my opinion, plays an important role in a child’s development. 1. This year, she is moving to Class Three and I can’t wait to see how things are going on.

Last year, my daughter did not like her teacher at all. It was so bad that she did not look forward to school. It was a year full of trouble and that worries.

This year, Miss Purity is gentle and humorous. It’s hard not to like her.2..

She becomes an early bird. Last year, mornings were like a fight because I had to force Tasha to hurry up when she was preparing for school. I had to pull her out of bed, tell her to take breakfast and then drove her to school. But now, our mornings are like a party. She wakes up early, prepares everything at a high speed and then rushes to school to be with Miss Purity.

She’s happy. She enjoys school and school work and keeps talking about what they did at school when she comes home.

She’s responsible. 3. But now she never forgets even her water bottle at school. She makes her bed and helps in the kitchen.

Her diary is full of praises. The diary is the tool of communication between the teacher and the parents. Last year, her diary was always full of negative reports. One time, she poured water in a child’s lunchbox, another time she threw another kid’s textbook in the toilet. 4. She’s always volunteering to clean the blackboard, the teacher’s chair and desk.

5. Finishing her classwork was such a big problem. She had to do it at home. But now, she finished both the classwork and homework at school.

A. Here are the changes in my daughter.

B. Now she began to share her snacks with those who did not have anything.

C. Every year when my daughter moves to a new class, I have a usual big worry—her new class teacher.

D. Her diary was good.

E. She has a good class teacher.

F. She used to be careless and forgetful.

G. She does well in school.

Young people and older people do not always agree. They sometimes have different ideas about living, working and playing. But in one special program in New York State, adults and teenagers live together in a friendly way.

Each summer 200 teenagers and 50 adults live together for eight weeks as members of a special work group. Everyone works several hours each day. They do so not just to keep busy but to find meaning and fun in work. Some teenagers work in the forests or on the farms near the village. Some learn to make things like tables and chairs and to build houses. The adults teach them these skills.

There are several free hours each day. Weekends are free, too. During the free hours some of the teenagers learn photo-taking or drawing. Others sit around and talk or sing. Each teenager chooses his own way to pass his free time.

When people live together, they should have rules. In this program the teenagers and the adults make the rules together. If someone breaks a rule, the problem goes before the whole group. They talk about it and ask, “Why did it happen? What should we do about it?”

One of the teenagers has said something about it, “You have to stop thinking only about yourself. You learn how to think about the group.”
