Dear Ms. Pascal,

I would appreciate very much an opportunity to meet with you and demonstrate how my unique experience and education could be of particular advantage to your company’s future growth.

My practice last summer at Pascal Business Systems helped me focus on my academic and career goals. My fourteen weeks with your company involved sales support activities including preparing brochures and catalogs，coordinating trade shows，providing data and information to salespeople in the field，and interacting with customers.

During the past two semesters I have concentrated on developing my electronic publishing and business communication skills. I am confident that I Can improve the ways in which Pascal Business Systems provides support for field marketing representatives. This would include designing and maintaining an online catalog which could be coordinated with current inventories(库存清单).

I am available for an interview at your convenience and look forward to an opportunity to discuss ways to improve operations and communications with field locations and sales. Thank you for your kind consideration.

Sincerely，

Lourdes Santiago

Dear Julie,

I'm sorry I haven't written for a while, but I've been busy at work and have spent almost all my spare time looking for a flat(公寓). I saw a really nice place this morning--a third floor flat with two bedrooms. I have been tired of living in this hotel.

I met a very nice Japanese couple(夫妇) the other night and they've asked me to spend a weekend with them at their house in the country. It'll be nice to get away from Tokyo for a few days. The only problem is that they don't speak much English, and my Japanese is still very poor.

By the way, I can't remember if I thanked you for the things you sent me. Believe me, they'll be really useful when I get a flat and start doing a bit of cooking for myself.

I'm afraid I'll have to finish now. Sorry it's a short letter but I've planned to go out with some friends. I'll write again at the end of the week. Until then, take care of yourself and give my love to Tim.

Love,

John

What does John do most of the time when he is not working？

A．He goes out with friends.

B．He takes Japanese lessons.

C．He looks for a place to live in.

So I wrote a nice holiday greeting to this man who, in my imagination, fires The New York Times from his bike aimed at our front door, causing more noise with mere newsprint than most people manage with sophisticated black market fireworks.

With a start, I realized that perhaps the reason for the 4 a.m. wake-up noise was not ordinary rudeness but carefully executed spite: I had not tipped Raoul in Christmases past. I honestly hadn't realized I was supposed to. This was the first time he'd used the card tactic. So I got out my checkbook. Somewhere along the line, holiday tipping went from an optional thank-you for a year of services to a Mafia-style. protection racket(收取保护费的黑社会组织).

Several days later, I was bringing our garbage bins back from the curb when I noticed an envelope taped to one of the lids. The outside of the envelope said MICKEY. It had to be another tip request, this time from our garbage collector. Unlike Raoul, Mickey hadn't enclosed his own Christmas card from me. In a way, I appreciated the directness. "I know you don't care how merry my Christmas is, and that's fine", the gesture said. "I want $30, or I'll 'forget' to empty your garbage bin some hot summer day".

I put a check in the envelope and taped it back to the bin. The next morning, Ed noticed that the envelope was gone, though the trash hadn't yet been picked up: "Someone stole Mickey's tip!" Ed was quite certain. He made me call the bank and cancel the check.

But Ed had been wrong. Two weeks later, Mickey left a letter from the bank on our steps. The letter informed Mickey that the check, which he had tried to cash, had been cancelled. The following Tuesday morning, when Ed saw a truck outside, he ran out with his wallet. "Are you Mickey？"

The man looked at him with scorn. "Mickey is the garbageman. I am the recycling". Not only had Ed insulted this man by hinting that he was a garbageman, but he had obviously neglected to tip him. Ed ran back inside for more funds. Then he noticed that the driver of the truck had been watching the whole transaction. He peeled off another twenty and looked around, waving bills in the air. "Anyone else"？

Had we consulted the website of the Emily Post Institute, this embarrassing breach of etiquette(礼节) could have been avoided. Under "trash/recycling collectors" in the institute's Holiday Tipping Guidelines, it says: "$10 to $30 each". You may or may not wish to know that your pet groomer, hairdresser, mailman and UPS guy all expect a holiday tip.

The newspaper deliveryman put a blank card inside the envelope because______.

A．he forgot to write a few words on it

B．he wanted the couple to send it back

C．he used it to ask for a Christmas tip

D．he was afraid of asking for a tip in person

There is something special abouta personal letter. Its better than a phone call, no matter what the telephonecompany says. A phone call disappears into the air as soon as the receiver is putback on the hook. A good letter can last a lifetime.

Some of my most preciouspossessions are letters that have been written to me sometime in the past. Idont have a single memorable phone call stored in a box in my attic() or basement. Ivenever thrown away a good letter and, like any real treasure, I dont even haveto look at them to enjoy having them. I know I have them. The telephone callscome and go. They make no permanent impression on me and have no place in mymemory.

A personal letter is a good thingbecause you say things you cant say in a crowd and might not even say to theperson face to face. If you feel like it, a letter allows you to take yourselfand your thoughts more seriously than you would dare take them in conversation.And you can say things without interruption.

A good letter is, in many ways,the exact opposite of a political speech. A politician addressing a crowd hasto talk so broadly and generally about the issues in order not to offendanyone of the thousands of people listening that he usually ends up sayingnothing. A letter can be specific, and if the writer has some bias orprejudice, he can even reveal his true self by letting this show. Writing afriend, you shouldnt have to be careful. Abraham Lincolns letter to hisstep-brother telling him he wasnt going to loan him the eighty dollars heasked for tells you more about Abraham Lincoln than the Gettysburg Addressdoes.

Some of our best history has comethat way, from personal letters of famous people that scholars have dug up. Youget a better idea of what someone is really like from a personal letter theywerent expecting you to read than you get from a carefully considered publicstatement theyve made. We say real things in letters.

The Stranger Who Changed My Life

It was a sunny morning in the spring of 1966. I was driving a taxi，looking for a customer. While passing New York Hospital，I found a man running down the hospital steps，waving at me.

I stopped. The man reached the taxi and jumped in. “The Airport，please.”he said. As always，I wondered about my passenger. Was this man a talker？ After a few moments，he started saying， “How do you like driving a taxi？”

“it’s OK，”I said. “I make a living and meet interesting people sometimes.”

“ What do you do？” I asked.

“I am a doctor at New York Hospital. ”

Many times during long rides，l’d developed a good relationship with my passengers and received very good advice from them. This time I decided to ask for his help，“Could I ask a favor of you？ ”He didn’t answer. “I have a son，15，a good kid. He wants a job this summer. is it possible that you get one for him？”

He still wasn’t talking, and I was starting to feel foolish. Finally, he said, “ Well, my students have a summer research project. Maybe he could join in. Have him send me his school record. ”

He left his address and paid me. It was the last time I ever saw him.

Robbie sent off his grades the next morning. And gradually this incident was forgotten. Two weeks later, when I arrived home from work, Robbie handed me a letter. He was informed to call Dr. Plum for an interview.

Robbie got the job. The following summer, Robbie worked at the hospital again, but this time, he was given more responsibility. Then, he worked at the hospital for a third summer and gradually developed a love of medical profession.

Near graduating from college, Robbie applied to and was admitted to New York Medical College. After getting his medical degree, Robbie, the son of a taxi driver, became a doctor at Columbia Medical Center.
