When I was 8, a gentleman came to my orphanage（孤儿院）and taught us how to do woodworking projects.
I remember my first project—a small table. I was so of it that I looked upon it as if I had created a(an) . It was absolutely beautiful and it had taken me six weeks to it. I could hardly wait to give it to Mother Winters as a . She was the head mistress of our orphanage, who was always with us.
As the tables were not dry from the clear coating, the man told us to wait a few days before taking them to our dormitories. But I was just so and happy that I couldn’t wait. I dashed out like a , carrying my table, smiling from ear to ear.
When I reached the dormitory I placed the little table beside my bed. I was it when Mother Winters entered. She walked over to the table. Running her hand it, she noticed that it was still wet.
“Were you to bring this home?” she asked.
“No, ma’am,” I with my head down.
She ordered me to throw the table out and so I did. After she left, I immediately opened the door to get it back. There was stuck all over. I brushed and cried, but it would not come off.
I hid the table in my closet and never it. A year later while cleaning up, I gave the table to Mother Henderson, my houseparent（宿管员）, thinking that she would it away.
Thirty years later at a reunion, I that Mother Henderson was living nearby, so I drove up to see her. We talked cheerfully for long. As I was about to leave, she asked me to come down to her to get something important. I followed her into a dark corner. She picked something up. she turned around, I could see that she was holding a little table.
Mother Henderson kept the little table that I had given up for lost so long ago.

You are going to read a text about the tips on resume writing, followed by a list of examples．Choose the best example from the list A-F for each numbered subheading(41-45)．There is one extra example which you do not need to use．Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1．(10 points)
The main purpose of a resume is to convince an employer to grant you an interview．There are two kinds．One is the familiar“tombstone”that lists where you went to school and where you’ve worked in chronological order．The other is what I call the“functional”resume-descriptive, fun to read, unique to you and much more likely to land you an interview．
It’s handy to have a“tombstone”for certain occasions．But prospective employers throw away most of those unrequested“tombstone”lists, preferring to interview the quick rather than the dead．
What follows are tips on writing a functional resume that will get read-a-resume that makes you come alive and look interesting to employers．
1．Put yourself first：
In order to write a resume others will read with enthusiasm, you have to feel important about yourself．
2．Sell what you can do, not who you are：
Practice translating your personality traits, character, accomplishments and achievements into skill areas．There are at least five thousand skill areas in the world of work．
Toot your own horn!
Many people clutch when asked to think about their abilities．Some think they have none at all!But everyone does, and one of yours may just be the ticket an employer would be glad to punch-if only you show it．
3．Be specific, be concrete, and be brief!
Remember that“brevity is the best policy．”
4．Turn bad news into good：
Everybody has had disappointments in work．If you have to mention yours, look for the positive side．
5．Never apologize：
If you’ve returned to the work force after fifteen years as a parent, simply write a short paragraph(summary of background)in place of a chronology of experience．Don’t apologize for working at being a mother; it’s the hardest job of all．If you have no special training or higher education, just don’t mention education．
The secret is to think about the self before you start writing about yourself．Take four or five hours off, not necessarily consecutive, and simply write down every accomplishment in your life, on or off the job, that made you feel effective．Don’t worry at first about what it all means．Study the list and try to spot patterns．As you study your list, you will come closer to the meaning：identifying your marketable skills．Once you discover patterns, give names to your cluster of accomplishments(leadership skills, budget management skills, child development skills etc．)Try to list at least three accomplishments under the same skills heading．Now start writing your resume as if you mattered．It may take four drafts or more, and several weeks, before you’re ready to show it to a stranger(friends are usually too kind)for a reaction．When you’ve satisfied, send it to a printer; a printed resume is far superior to photocopies．It shows an employer that you regard job hunting as serious work, worth doing right．
Isn’t that the kind of person you’d want working for you?
AA woman who lost her job as a teacher’s aide due to a cutback in government funding wrote：“Principal of elementary school cited me as the only teacher’s aide she would rehire if government funds became available．”
BOne resume I received included the following：“invited by my superior to straighten out our organization’s accounts receivable．Set up orderly repayment schedule, reconciled accounts weekly, and improved cash flow 100 per cent．Rewarded with raise and promotion．”Notice how this woman focuses on results, specifies how she accomplished them, and mentions her reward-all in 34 words．
C
For example, if you have a flair for saving, managing and investing money, you have money management skills．
D
An acquaintance complained of being biased when losing an opportunity due to the statement“Ready to learn though not so well educated”．
E
One of my former colleagues, for example, wrote resumes in three different styles in order to find out which was more preferred．The result is, of course, the one that highlight skills and education background．
F
A woman once told me about a cash-flow crisis her employer had faced．She’d agreed to work without pay for three months until business improved．Her reward was her back pay plus a 20 percent bonus．I asked why that marvelous story wasn’t in her resume．She answered,“It wasn’t important．”What she was really saying of course was“I’m not important．”

My grandfather used to have a beautiful gold pocket watch. He wore it on a fine gold chain across the front of his waistcoat, and when I was small he promised to leave it to me in his will.
“When I'm gone,” he said, “this is going to be yours.”
Unfortunately that will never happen now. About three months ago, my grandfather came up to London to visit us. The first Sunday morning after he arrived, my youngest son said he wanted to go to the park.
“We'll do better than that,” said my grandfather, “we'll go and feed the pigeons in Trafalgar Square.” So off they went. They got home about tea-time and my grandfather was looking very upset.
“My watch,” he said, “it's gone. Someone must have stolen it while we were feeding the pigeons.”
“Did you tell the police?” I asked.
“No,” he said, “I didn't think it would do any good.”
“You should have reported it,” I said. “Perhaps you just lost it.”
“No,” he replied, shaking his head. “Someone must have taken it. But I know what I'm going to do.”
My grandfather put an advertisement in the Personal Column of the Evening Standard and Evening News for a week.
A few minutes after one on an afternoon, a small, nervous man, wearing a cloth cap, approached my grandfather. “Excuse me, Sir,” he asked, “are you the gentleman enquiring about his pocket watch?”
My grandfather nodded. “Well, you must understand, Sir, that I didn't have it, but the gentleman who did has asked me to give it back.”
From the pocket of his rather dirty overcoat, he produced my grandfather's watch. My grandfather was delighted. He paid the man 100 pounds, as promised, fixed the watch chain back where they belonged, and solemnly shook hands with the little man.
My grandfather went back to the bus stop. He thought he would like to have another look at his watch. So, smiling to himself, he unbuttoned his coat and looked down. The smile froze on his lips. The watch and chain were no longer there.
1．On the first morning Grandfather insisted on going to the Trafalgar Square because ________.
[ ]
A．he might talk to different people
B．he would be able to take a long walk

[ ]
A．he though it would be useless
B．he feared it would cost a great deal of money
C．he was afraid of the policemen
D．he had been disappointed by the police before

[ ]
A．he paid him 100 dollars to the man for the watch
B．he thanked the man for finding the watch
C．the man denied having stolen the watch
D．the man gave him the watch for free

[ ]
A．the small man had always been innocent (清白的，无辜的)
B．it must have been the small man who had stolen his watch
C．it was wise for him to have found the thief in his own way
D．his watch had been changed into a cheap watch
查看习题详情和答案>>I still clearly remember that day. I was on the side of the road for close to four hours with my big Jeep. I put signs in the windows that said, “NEED A JACK（千斤顶）”.
Right as I was about to give up, a truck stopped and a man got off. He sized up the situation and went back to take a jack. After about two hours, we finished the job with sweats. We were both dirty. His wife produced a large water jug for us to wash our hands in.
I tried to put $20 in the man’s hand, but he wouldn’t take it, so instead I went up and gave it to his wife as quietly as I could. I thanked them up one side and down the other. I asked the little girl, their daughter, where they lived, thinking maybe I’d send them a gift. She said they lived in Mexico. They were in Oregon now so Mommy and Daddy could pick cherries for the next few weeks. After that, they were going to pick peaches, and then go back home.
After I said my goodbyes and started walking back to the Jeep, the girl called out and asked if I’d had lunch. When I told her no, she ran up and handed me a tamale（玉米粽子）. I thanked them again and walked back to my car. When I opened the tamale, what did I find inside? My $20 bill! I ran to the van and the guy rolled down his window. He saw the $20 in my hand, started shaking his head smiling, and with what looked like great concentration said in English: “Today you, tomorrow me.” Then he rolled up his window and drove away, with his daughter waving to me from the back.
This family, working on a seasonal basis where time is money, took a couple of hours to help a stranger while others passed by quietly.
Since then I’ve helped many people like the Mexican family. I didn’t accept money. But every time I was able to help, I felt as if I was putting something in the bank.
1.From the passage we know that __________.
A．the Mexican man couldn’t speak English
B．the author’s car broke down on the road
C．the Mexican family came to Oregon for a visit
D．$20 was a small amount for the Mexican family
2.Why did the author give the money quietly to the man’s wife?
A．Because the man had refused to accept it.
B．Because the man’s wife needn’t wash her hands.
C．Because the author thought the Mexican family was poor.
D．Because the author thought the man’s wife would take it.
3.The Mexican man helped the author because he tended to think that ___________.
A．it was completely wrong for others to pass by quietly
B．it was quite easy to help the author mend the jeep
C．it was possible that everyone might get into trouble
D．the author was a polite stranger and deserved the help
