In writing a letter of application, keep in mind that the things a possible employer is most likely to want to know about are your qualifications, your achievements and
26、 your aims. 2 . If the first few sentences fail to win the readers attention, the rest of the letter may not be continued at all. Try to key your opening remarks to the needs or interests of the employer not to your own needs or desires. For example, instead of beginning with “I saw your advertiseme

36、导.概要写作阅读下面短文，根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。The origins of surnames are very interesting to talk about. It is helpful for us beginners to know about them in learning a foreign language.In early times, when people lived in small villages, surnames were unnecessary. Everyone knew everyone else in the village and
37、there were rarely visitors from outside. If someone referred to Stephen or Hilda, everyone knew at once who it was since there was only one Stephen or one Hilda in the village. But as time went on, tiny villages became big ones. Then there might be several Stephens and several Hildas in the same pla
38、ce. It then became necessary to tell one from another. How was this done?One way of telling one Stephen from another was by adding the name of his trade. As a result, there might be Stephen the miller, Stephen the cook, Stephen the weaver and Stephen the shepherd. After a time these would be shorten
39、ed to Stephen Miller, Stephen Cook, Stephen Weaver, etc., which gradually came into being. Before long, the same names were given to the mens children at birth and their wives took the same surnames on marriage.Another way of distinguishing men with the same name was to refer to them by the name of
40、the place where they lived. If three men were all called John, one might be referred to as John in the field, another as John in the woods, and the third as John under the hill. In this way surnames such as Field, Wood, Hill, Pond and Shore came into use.Another important way of distinguishing men w
41、ith the same name was to say whose sons they were. Of three men with the name of Tom, one might be called Tom the son of John, another Tom the son of William, and the third Tom the son of Richard. This practice gradually produced common surnames such as Johnson, Richardson, Robinson, Jackson and Wil
42、son.Still another way of distinguishing men was to give them nicknames according to the sort of person they were. Thus a very small man might be called John the small man. A very short one might come to be known as Stephen the short man. This gave rise to many surnames such as Short, Small, Long, Wh
