We had just finished thirteen miles of hiking in the snowy mountains. We were tired and our muscles  21   as we made our way back to New England.

When I heard that two seats in first class on our next flight were   22   for a small upgrade fee, I jumped at the  23  . We agreed to pay the fee to   24   our tickets. Our spirits lifted   immediately. At least we would  25  our adventure in comfort and style.

As we chatted away about hiking, waterfalls and bears, I could   30  people around us talking about busy schedules and business meetings. It wasn’t long   31  I realized that these people were   32  to flying in luxury. “They are important people,” I thought to myself.

As the stewardess walked by our   35 , I looked at her and said, “Thank you and I hope you have a great night.” She stopped at our seats with a look of   36   on her face, bent down, looked at me and said, “Excuse me?” I repeated my words and she smiled in a rather   37   way, almost as if I had asked her a question that she did not know how to answer.

“You are the only passenger here to say thank you or say something   38   to me tonight and I really appreciate your kindness.”

The   39  of belonging to an elite group of people in first class disappeared as we heard her words. Our seats in luxury offered us more than a comfortable ride. We were   40  that, without kindness, we would be flying in no class.

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.
