Hi, dear boys and girls! Do you know how to be a healthy kid? Here are some rules you should follow.

　First, eat different foods, especially fruit and vegetables. You may have a favorite food, but you'd better eat something different, if you eat different foods, you will probably get more nutrients your body needs.

　　The purpose of a letter of application 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 fact.

　　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 paper. ”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 neighbourhood to find out how many housewives　 47　 your product and why they like it.”

　　Try to　 48　 generalities. 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.

On June 17, 1774, the officials from Maryland and Virginia held a talk with the Indians of the Six Nations. The Indians were invited to send boys to William and Mary College. In a letter the next day they refused the offer as follows:
We know that you have a high opinion of the kind of learning taught in your colleges, and that the costs of living of our young men, while with you, would be very expensive to you. We are sure that you mean to do us good by your proposal（提议）; and we thank you heartily. But you must know that different nations have different ways of looking at things, and you will therefore not be offended（冒犯） if our ideas of this kind of education happen not to be the same as yours. We have had some experience of it. Several of our young people were formerly brought up at the colleges of the northern provinces: they were taught all your sciences; but when they came back to us, they were bad manners, ignorant（无知的）of every means of living in the woods–they were totally good for nothing.
　We are, however, not the less thankful by your kind offer, though we refuse to accept it; and, to show our grateful sense of it, if the gentlemen of Virginia will send us a dozen of their sons, we will take care of their education, teach them in all we know, and make men of them.
【小题1】The tone(语气) of the letter as a whole is best described as________.
