t worry at first about what it all means。 Study the list and try to spot patterns。 As you study your list； you will e closer to the meaning： identifying your marketable skills。 Once you discover patterns； give names to your cluster of acplishments（leadership skills；
budget management skills； child development skills etc。）Try to list at least three acplishments 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 youre ready to show it to a stranger（friends are usually too kind）for a reaction。 When youve 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。
Isnt that the kind of person youd want working for you？
［A］ A woman who lost her job as a teachers aide due to a cutback in government funding wrote：“Principal of elementary school cited me as the only teachers aide she would rehire if government funds became available。”
［B］ One resume I received included the following：“invited by my superior to straighten out our organizations 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 acplished 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 plained 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 three resumes in three different styles in order to find out which was more preferred。 The result is； of course； the one that highlights skills and education background。
［F］ A woman once told me about a cashflow crisis her employer had faced。 Shed 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 wasnt in her resume。 She answered；“It wasnt important。”What she was really saying of course was“Im not important。”
文章导读
这篇文章就如何写好个人简历提出了自己的看法。文章用黑体小标题给出了具体的建议，要求考生选出相应的例子。
首先，我们要通读全文，了解大意。作者在文中强调的简历应该是“functional”，应该是读起来有趣，具有个性的。在文章中，作者给出了具体的招数。每个招数都有小标题，解释和举例。在这儿，考生应该明白的是，英语文章中的小标题不一定等同于论点或段落总结句。小标题一般都较短，较简洁，有些小标题为了吸引读者的注意力，用词较夸张，或者只突出文章的一方面。所以考生在做题时，不能慌慌张张地看了小标题就去找答案。应该结合正文理解观点的含义。
答案与解析
41【答案】F
【解析】“Put yourself first”。字面意思是把自己往前放。什么意思呢？下面的句子进行了解释，“要想让自己的简历使读的人充满热情，那么你首先就要觉得自己是个
人物”。选项中哪个能进一步说明这一点呢？论证方法是这样的。作者举例说明时，可
能从正面角度，也可能从反面角度。F就是从反面说明了第一个观点。作者通过例
子说明，不要认为自己做过的事情不值一提，瞧不起自己的人别人又怎么会重视呢？
42【答案】C
【解析】“Sell what you can do；not who you are”。要强调能力而不是性格。下面的文字进一步说明了。“要学会把自己的个性和成就诠释成具体的技能，世界上有至
少5000种技能”（意思是，你总能找出一种自己拥有的技能）。文后的例子中只有C项最贴切，“例如，如果你有节约、投资、管理钱财的天分，那么你拥有理财的能力。”
43【答案】B
【解析】“Be specific；be concrete；and briefly！”一言以蔽之：简洁。哪个选项说明了这一点呢？B项这一个成功的例子说明了这点，一位女士仅用了34个词就把重点说明白了。
44【答案】A
【解析】“Turn bad news into good”（将坏消息变成好消息）。这不是要让人颠倒黑白，下面解释道：“每个人在工作中总有不尽如人意的地方。如果要提到这些事，那么
从积极、正面的角度去看。”A选项就是一个正面的例子。一个女助教因为政府缩减资金而被解雇了。这似乎不大光彩，但是这位女士谈起此事时却用了另一个角度，
“校长说了，如果政府的资金够的话，她第一个重聘的就是我”，字里行间洋溢着自信。
45【答案】D
【解析】“Never apologize”（不要道歉）。下面的文字举例说明了，要扬长避短。每
个人都有短处，没有必要为自己的短处羞愧。求职就是要让雇主看到自己的闪光点，个
人简历不是进行道歉的地方。D项以一个失败的例子说明了这一点：作者的一位朋友说他求职时遭到了歧视，因为他的简历中写了“好学，但教育程度不高”。

Exercise 1
Part B
Directions ：
You are going to read a text about money； followed by a list of examples。 Choose the best example from the list AF for each numbered subheading （4145）。 There is one extra example which you do not need to use。 Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET 1。 （ 10 points）
Aristotle； the Greek philosopher； summed up four chief qualities of money some 2；000 year ago。 It must be lasting and easy to recognize； to divide； and to carry about。 In other words it must be； durable； distinct； divisible and portable。 When we think of money today； we picture it either as round； fiat pieces of metal which we call coins； or as printed paper notes。
41But there are still parts of the world； today where coins and notes are of no use。
42Among isolated peoples； who are not often reached by traders from outside； merce usually meant barter。
This is a direct exchange of goods。 Perhaps it is fish for vegetables； meat for grain； or various kinds of food in exchange for pots； baskets； or other manufactured goods。
43。Salt may seem rather a strange substance to use as money； but in countries where the food of the people is mainly vegetable； it is often an absolute necessity。
44wrie sea shells have been used as money at some time or another over the greater part of the Old World。 These were collected mainly from the beaches of the Maldive Islands in the Indian Ocean； and were traded to India and China。
45。Metal； valued by weight； preceded coins in many parts of the world。
Iron； in lumps； bars or rings is still used in many countries instead of money。 It can either be exchanged for goods； or made into tools； weapons or ornaments。 The early money of China； apart from shells； was of bronze； often in fiat； round pieces with a hole in the middle； called ‘cash。
Nowadays； coins and notes have supplanted nearly all the more picturesque forms of money； and although in one or two of the more remote countries people still hoard it for future use on ceremonial occasions such as weddings and funerals； examples of primitive money will soon be found only in museums。
［A］ For this kind of simple trading； money is not needed； but there is often sometiling that everyone wants and everybody can use； such as salt to flavor； food； shell for ornaments； or iron and copper to make into tools and vessels。 These thingssalt； shells or metalsare still used as money in outoftheway parts of the world today。
［B］ They will buy nothing； and a traveler might starve if he had none of the particular local money to exchange for food。
［C］ Cakes of salt； stamped to show their value； were used as money in Tibet until recent times； and cakes of salt will still buy goods in Borneo and parts of Africa。
［D］ The earliest evolution of these paper notes and coins made of copper had developed rapidly in the western Mediterranean。
［E］ In Africa； cowries were traded right across the continent from East to West Four or five thousand went for one Maria Theresa dollar； an Austrian silver coin which was once accepted as currency in many parts of Africa。
［F］ The earliest of these are between three thousand and four thousand years oldolder than the earliest coins of the eastern Mediterranean。
