December 13th, 2005

Dear Sirs,

I am very happy to apply for the position of secretary, which you advertised in China Daily of December 10, 2005.

I have been working as a secretary at a college office. Because I am the only secretary in the office, it is necessary for me to work quickly and efficiently and to be flexible in my daily work. Professors value my work and my ability to meet their needs.

Although I am happy now, I feel that my promotion (晋升) is limited here, and I would like to have a more challenging job. Therefore, I enrolled (参加) in a program to expand my knowledge of international business affairs. Now, both my English and Chinese have been improved and I am ready to begin working as a bilingual secretary in an international company like yours, and I believe I can be a great help to your firm.

The enclosed resume gives further details of my qualifications, and I would appreciate it if you could give me an opportunity to have an interview. I am looking forward to receiving your call at 62428866 or please use the enclosed pre-paid postcard to send me your reply.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

Faithfully Yours,

Mary Lee

听力原文：M: Hi, Vivian. What are you doing here？

W: Hi, Steve. I'm having a bit of trouble finding some of the stuff I need.

M: What're you looking for？

W: Well, I'm just trying to find out something about the use of steel in building construction. Do you have any idea？

M: Frankly, I don't know much about this. What about the library？ There's a database on the computer, and most of the stuff you need is catalogued. You can find it somewhere.

W: Yes, but that's the easy part! Then you have to find the book you want on the shelves, and you often find that it's out already.

M: I know what you mean ! Then you have to line up to borrow it, if it's CTL.

W: CTL？ What's CTL？

M: It means "confined to library" : you know, it means you can't take it out. You have to read it in the library.

W: It seems easy, doesn't it？ But you have to reserve it, and then you may want to photocopy bits of it, or make notes--and there never seems to be enough time.

M: Hmm! In your shoes, I think I'd have a word with our tutor.

W: I think I'll do that! Thanks! See you later. Bye!

M: See yah! And good luck !

With more and more people becoming rich in recent years,it is a new tendency for them to send their children to study abroad.But I don't think it is a good idea._____,children are too young to look after themselves._____,the language barrier is a serious problem.Many children are not proficient,in the foreign language before going abroad._____,they have difficulty in understanding what .the native speakers are talking about.Third,they may get into trouble when dealing with various situations for lack of knowledge of the customs in the strange land.____,the cost of living,is much higher than that in our country,which might cause a heavy,burden to the family._____,there are more disadvantages in sending children to study abroad.So,we'd better not do it.

mbridge when you first arrived？ W: Well, I like it here. I think the city is very beautiful. M: What about your accommodation？ Was that OK？ W: Yes, OK. At first I stayed with a family for three months. They were very kind to me, but they had three young children and I found it difficult to study. M: Right, I see. W: So after three months I moved out and now I live with two other students in a student house. Its much cheaper and we like it there. M: Good, and what about your studies？ What are you studying？ W: Im doing a Bachelor of Computing. M: Computing, I see. Um, apart from the language difficulties, if you can separate them, how have you found the course？ W: OK, but... M: Yes, go on. W: Well, the main difficulty for me is getting time on the computers in the computer room. Its always busy and this makes it very hard to do my practical work. M: Yes, Im sure it would. Can you reserve time in the computer room？ W: No, I cant but it would certainly help if we could reserve computer time. M: Yes. Ill look into that and see if something can be done to improve things over there. Questions 13 to 15 are based on the conversation you have just heard. 13. Why did the woman move out and choose to live in a student house？ 14. What is the womans major？ 15. What did the woman think could help solve her problem？13．

A．Language.

B．Computing.

C．Bachelor.

听力原文：M: Good afternoon, is there anything I can help you with？

W: Yes. I've just checked my bank account and found that my spending in this semester has far exceeded what I planned.

M: How far exactly？

W: The rest of my money isn't enough for the trip home.

M: The cost of living in Britain is a little higher than in other countries and many foreign students meet this problem every year. Some schools set up a special office to help those in financial trouble.

W: What shall I do now？

M: First, you have to control your spending. Do not buy things you have no immediate use for. Also, reduce your spending on entertainment and rent a cheaper room if your current room is a little expensive.

W: Well, What I spend is usually necessary and cannot be reduced much. My room is a little ex- pensive, but it's close to the school and can save a great deal on transportation.

M: De you travel a lot？ Traveling usually costs a lot of money.

W: Yes, I do. I went to many places because I wanted to see different people and-experience various cultures.

M: Control your spending on traveling. As well as by reducing your overall spending, you can earn some money by taking a part-time job.

W: Is there any limitation on taking a part-time job？

M: Yes. The total time spent on a part-time job should not exceed 20 hours a week. Otherwise your study would be affected.

said. "I work for Swiss Railways, and this reservation (订票) is for SNCF" (the French national rail line). "So where is the SNCF office？" I asked, looking at the clock, which showed we had only 10 minutes before the train left. "There isn't one in Geneva," he replied. "The only thing I can do is to sell you two new tickets, and I only have smoking compartment (车厢) seats left." This was getting worse by the minute.

My wife and I had booked and paid for our tickets over the Internet and were now trying to collect them. Nowhere had it warned us that there wasn't an SNCF ticket office in Geneva. Rather than miss our train, we paid for two more tickets and spent three hours sitting with several people who smoked one cigarette after another between Geneva and Pads. Fortunately, we were able to get Our money back for the unused tickets without any difficulty through the customer service office at the Gare de Lyon.

I have to admit at this point that not only do I love France and the Franch, I also think that their trains are second to none, anywhere in the world. Having said that, the SNCF Internet ticket- buying process (过程) is very French in nature and requires considerable patience. This is where we fell into the "no SNCF office in Geneva" trap (困境). Once you've figured it out, however, it can work very smoothly and is usually more convenient than buying tickets in the US. This is how you go about it.

Where did the writer run into a problem with their ticket reservation？

A．In Paris.

B．In Geneva.

C．In the Gare de Lyon.

D．In a city in the United States.
