14.For college graduates,it is of vital importance to write application letters well.(36)FIt should state clearly the job you want,and should tell what you have done.It should be simple,human,personal and brief without leaving out any necessary facts.
In writing a letter of application,keep in mind that the things a possible employer is most likely to want to know about are your qualifications,your achievements and your aims.(37)GIf the first few sentences fail to win the reader's attention,the rest of the letter may not be continued at all.Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not to your own needs or desires.For example,instead of beginning with"I saw your advertisement in today's newspaper"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."
(38)E Be clear about the kind of job for which you are now applying.College graduates looking for their first positions often ask what they can provide in a letter and what if employers warn experience,which,naturally,no beginner has.(39)C
It is important to write a good strong closing for your letter.Make a specific request for an interview or give the possible employer something definite to do or expect.(40)B That makes it easier for a possible employer to get in touch in you.

A.Here are a few suggestions for you to prepare yourself better for your interview.
B.An excellent idea is to enclose a stamped,self-addressed envelope with your letter.
C.The answer is that everything you have ever done is experience.
D.Don't be afraid of being a new hand.
E.Try to avoid writing in general.
F The purpose of a letter of application is to help you to"sell"yourself.
G.The opening paragraph is perhaps the most import.

12.Different culturesThe cultures of the East and the West really distinguish each other a lot.(36)C
The origin of the eastern cultures is mainly from two countries:China and India.Both of the two cultures are developed by rivers---the Yellow River in China and the Hindu River in India.(37)B When the two mother rivers gave birth to the Eastern culture,another famous culture was brought up on the Mesopotamian Plain-the Mesopotamian Civilization.This civilization later on developed into the cultures of Ancient Greece and Ancient Rome.(38)E  Like the Chinese culture,the European culture also crossed waters.When the British settled down in America,their culture went with them over the Atlantic Ocean.So the American culture doesn't distinguish from the European culture a lot.
(39)D Take the language system for example.In the East,most languages belong to the pictographic language while the Western languages are mostly based on the Latin system.Other causes like human race difference counts as well.But what's more,due to the far distance and the steep areas between the East and West,the two cultures seldom communicate until recent centuries.So they grew up totally in their own ways with almost no-interference(干扰)from the other.
The differences are everywhere.(40)A But different cultures make the world of 21st century more colorful.The cultural gap should not be the obstacle (障碍) to the civilization of human being.It ought to be the motivation of our going farther.

A.They are obvious and affect people's ways of thinking and their views of the world.
B.They helped the two cultures develop for centuries and form their own styles.
C.This is because the culture systems are two separate systems on the whole.
D.At the same time,some other differences add to the cultural differences.
E.And these two are well-known as the base of the European culture.
F.One important thing is to learn about other cultures.
G.Let us work together to keep a variety of culture.
11.Americans get some of their news and entertainment from public television and radio.These public media receive money to operate from private citizens,organizations and government.Many of their programs are educational.But most of the American media are run by businesses for profit.These privately owned media have changed greatly in recent years.Newspapers,magazines and traditional broadcast television organizations have lost some of their popularity.At the same time,online,cable and satellite media have increased in numbers and strength.So have media that serve racial groups and those communicating in foreign languages.
In general,more media than ever now provide Americans with news and entertainment.At the same time,fewer owners control them.Huge companies have many holdings(股份).In some areas,one company controls much of the media.One dramatic change in American media is the increased success of cable television.It comes into most homes over wires.It does not use the public airwaves to present programs,as broadcast television does.Like broadcast television,most cable television programs perform advertisements.This is true although people must pay to see cable television in their homes.Thirty years ago,few people had cable.Today,about sixty-eight percent of American homes have cable television.Television by satellite also is gaining popularity.
Over the years,traditional broadcast organizations have tried to appeal to as many watchers as possible.Many cable companies,however,present programs for one special group of viewers.For example,there are cable stations for people who like books,cooking,travel,golf or comedy.

10.Recent months have seen a return of bike across China.With an increasing number of people choosing cycling instead of (61)driving(drive) to schools,to workplaces or to do sightseeing.The introduction of bike-sharing programs has brought the trend to a new level.
The bikes (62)are equipped(equip) with GPS and can be left anywhere in public for the next user.They're popular among many Chinese people as they provide(63)aneffective solution in places (64)where it's difficult to change from one kind of transport to another.Bike-sharing is a (65)greener(green) method of transportation and (66)provides(provide) a more friendly experience
However,the programs have also led to problems such as (67)illegal(legal) parking,deliberate (蓄意的) damaging and theft.To deal with these problems,the company came up with the idea of encouraging people
(68)to return(return) the bikes to stations (69)by  rewarding free time for their next rides.Now,Chinese service operators are also trying to address these problems,too.For example,Mobike sets a 100-point credit score for each user,with (70)points (point) taken in the case of bad behavior.Once a score drops below 80,bike rental is increased to 100yuan per 30minutes,up from 0.5-1yuan.
