Well begun, half done, as the saying goes. It is extremely important for a job applicant to do his homework while seeking employment.

Those who make no endeavor to learn as much about his prospective employer as possible don’t have much of a chance of success.Part III Home Reading TaskComprehension Check1. b 2. c3. a 4. a5. a 6. bTranslation1. 父母親都覺得我不會(huì)被錄用?！澳阋泻笈_(tái)才行。那可是一家美國(guó)機(jī)構(gòu)，洛克菲勒基金會(huì)。你一定要有后臺(tái)?！?. 當(dāng)然，不工作就沒(méi)飯吃，除非嫁人，那叫做“終于有了歸宿?！?. 她留著新式的發(fā)型，是我所喜歡的那種滿頭卷發(fā)豎立著的式樣，穿著下擺印有花紋的裙子。由于她懷孕已快足月，所以她向我走過(guò)來(lái)時(shí)似乎是她的肚子最先到達(dá)我的面前。4. 我跟哈內(nèi)德先生說(shuō)了，你剛才是因害羞不安而沒(méi)法做記錄的。他挺不錯(cuò)的，只要慢慢習(xí)慣起來(lái)就行了。Language Practice1.1) g 2) f 3) a 4) e5) h 6) b 7) c 8) d2.1) intricate 2) came at3) administration 4) benign5) get in 6) scraps7) brand 8) carved9) coiled 10) quivered11) take on 12) put in a (good) wordPart IV Comprehensive Language PracticeModel Application LetterRm. 316, New College DormitoryXuanwu University, 2270 Zhongshan RoadNanjing, Jiangsu, 210008Tel: (025) 9709399Email: hqin@August 25, 2010Dr. Guoliang LiDirector of the Human Resources OfficeShanghai Star20F, Huaihai Building200 Huaihai Road (Middle)Shanghai 200021Dear Dr. Li,In searching for employment opportunities on the Internet, I learned of a job vacancy in the Public Affairs Reporting Section of your newspaper.
