A polished resume is essential for a successful school or job application. A clear structure and well-organized content can be the difference between success and failure.

Structuring your resume

(1) Create a header with your name and contact information. There are also down loadable templates(模板) available online. If none of them appeals to you, however, you can always use your own design.

(2) Use a chronological(时间顺序排列的)resume. In a chronological resume, you list your work and education experiences, starting with your most recent experience.

(3) Include your relevant education, awards or training. Typically, your highest academic qualification is the only one you need to include on your resume.

If you had a cumulative(累积的)GPA of 3.5 or higher, feel free to include it. Otherwise, it would be best to leave it out. If you re listing more than one degree, include your GPA on both of them, if possible.

(4) List work experience, including relevant volunteer work and internships. Use specific job titles and short explanations that tell potential employers exactly what you did, what skills you gained and how they could be useful in a new job.

(5) Try a functional resume, if you lack direct work experience. With a functional resume you can highlight your specific skills and resources without having to list previous jobs. A functional resume emphasizes what you can do rather than what you've done.

Making your content shine

Place keywords in your resume strategically. Schools or employers often use software to scan resumes for specific keywords.

1.How should you present your job and education experiences on a resume?

A.Begin with your most successful experience.

B.Stan with your most recent experience.

C.Include as many details as possible.

D.Only introduce your highest degree.

2.When should you leave your GPA out of your resume?

A.If your total GPA was below 3.5. B.If your cumulative GPA was below 4.0.

C.If you're listing more than one decree. D.If you are still a student.

3.What should you do if you don't have much work experience according to the text?

A.List my job you've done before.

B.talk about how much you know about the job.

C.Focus on your abilities and skills related to the job.

D.Share what you've learned from your previous work.

4.How can you make your resume noticeable according to the text? 、

A.Use a catchy template. B.Send your resume in a DOC file.

An "apple polisher" is one who gives gifts to win friendship or special treatment.It is not exactly a bribe（贿赂）, but is close to it.

All sorts of people are apple polishers,including politicians and people in high offices—just about everybody. Oliver Cromwell,the great English leader,offered many gifts to win the support of George Fox and his party,but failed.

There are other phrases meaning the same thing as "apple-polishing"—"soft-soaping" or "butter-up".A gift is just one way to "soft-soap" somebody,or to "butter him up".Another that is just as effective is flattery,giving someone high praise—telling him how good he looks,or how well he speaks,or how talented and wise he is.

Endless are the ways of flattery.Who does not love or hear it?Only an unusual man can resist the thrill of being told how wonderful he is.In truth,flattery is good medicine for most of us,who gets so little of it.

We need it to be more sure of ourselves.It cannot hurt unless we get carried away by it.But we just lap it up for its food value and nourishment,as a cat laps up milk,then we can still remain true to ourselves.

Sometimes,however,flattery will get you nothing from one who has had too much of it.A good example is the famous 12th century legend of King Canute of Denmark and England.The king got tired of listening to the endless sickening flattery of his courtiers（朝臣）.They over-praised him to the skies,as a man of limitless power.

He decided to teach them a lesson.He took them to the seashore and sat down.Then he ordered the waves to stop coming in.The tide was too busy to listen to him.The king was satisfied.This might show his followers how weak his power was and how empty their flattery.

1.Which of the following activities has nothing to do with "apple-polishing"?

A. A boy tells his girlfriend how pretty she looks

B. An employee tells his boss how good he is at management

C. A knight is said to be of limitless power by his followers

D. A teacher praised his students for their hard work

2.King Canute of Denmark and England took his followers to the seashore because_______.

A. he was sick of his normal

B. he wanted them to realize how wise he was

C. he did not like being over-praised any more

D. he wanted them to see how weak he was as a king

3.The author thinks that flattery can do good to those who_______.

A. lack confidence　　 B. are really excellent

C. are politicians or in high offices　　 D. think highly of themselves

D

An “apple-polisher” is one who gives gifts to win friendship or special treatment. It is not exactly a bribe（贿赂）, but is close to it.

“Apple-polishing” is as old as human society, but the phrase itself is recent, about 50 years old. It comes from the schoolroom. For a long time, some schoolboys would leave a shiny（有光泽的，发光的） apple on the teacher’s desk. They would rub and polish the apple to give it a bright shine, so as to make it look more tasty. Such a gift, the students hoped, might make the teacher shut her eyes to their poor work and give them a good mark.

All sorts of people are apple-polishers, including politicians and people in high offices—almost everybody.

There are other phrases meaning the same thing as “apple-polishing”— “soft-soaping” or “buttering-up”. A gift is just one way to “soft-soap” somebody, or to “butter him up”.

Another way that is just as effective as apple-polishing is flattery, giving someone high praise — telling him how good he looks, or how well he speaks, or how wise he is. Flattery, of course, is the cheapest kind of “apple polishing”.

To flatter another costs you nothing and you can give it as freely as you want. And you can always find somebody eagerly looking for it.

53. An “apple-polisher” is one who ________.

A. tries to please someone to get favor

B. bribes with money to get something

D. plants apple trees and polishes his apples every day

54. Why did the students polish the apple for their teacher?

A. They hoped that she would not pay attention to them.

B. They didn’t want her to wash the apple by herself.

C. They wished to draw her attention.

D. They longed for her giving them a good mark.

55. According to the passage, the cheapest way to please someone is ________.

A. to flatter him                                               B. to bribe him

C. to talk freely with him                             D. to play jokes on him
