(C) (D) # III、閱讀測驗：說明：第 21-40 題：下面有四篇短文，每篇各有 5 題，請閱讀短文後，選出最適當的答案。 The world was appalled when, on September 11, 2001, suicidal terrorists smashed the passenger airplanes they had hijacked into several important American buildings: landmarks such as the "Twin Towers" of the World Trade Center in New York City, and the country's top military building, the Pentagon, located near the nation's capital. Few of us who viewed the spectacle of destruction of these landmarks on their home television sets will ever forget the feeling of helplessness they experienced as the once-mighty "Twin Towers" disintegrated before our eyes. For those of us who love America and freedom, our first feeling was surely a combination of outrage and disbelief. Most viewers, doubtless, felt intense frustration at their inability to save the thousands of innocent workers who senselessly died in that infamous, unprovoked attack. But there are certainly heroes in this story, whose actions have brought relief and recovery to our nation. They deserve to have their tales told. Even now, more than half a year after the disaster, these people continue to serve as angels of mercy. Victims injured on that day still need urgent medical care. Sympathetic friends, who once were strangers, are still providing transfusions of their blood, supplies, and even shelters to those in need. Members from religious institutions to large corporations have raised funds to help restore these American landmarks, which for many stand as representatives of the freedom and philosophy of the U.S.A. Loyal members of the armed forces are struggling against those whose amoral leaders demonstrated their lack of respect for life and freedom with such abundant clarity. Now more than ever, the number 911 represents both emergency and rescue. And these heroes have proven conclusively that we can and will fight through any adversity to save the American dream of liberty and brotherhood.

This is your chance to describe your work experience, achievements, and career goals to your best advantage. You can decide what details about yourself to include, what to omit, and how to present your information clearly and persuasively. All the information you give must be geared toward winning the job you desire. You may choose between several standard ways of organizing the information you include in your résumé, depending on the strongest points of your training, experience, and skills. Two popular formats will be described here. First, the "chronological" format is organized according to time: the most recent experience is given first, and so on to the earliest. You may decide to use this format if you're preparing to graduate from high school or college, and have little or no work experience. This method spotlights your academic achievement, and downplays your lack of previous jobs. Those who have worked longer could also choose this format, but rather than listing their scholastic degrees in reverse chronological order, they would list their previous jobs. People who have not worked recently, or who have an uneven employment record, might select the "skills" format instead; in it, job applicants stress specific, job-related abilities, instead of the particular times when they have worked. Traditional résumés are typically one page long. Don't leave too much blank space on the page. That would give the appearance that you have little to say about yourself. To fill the gaps, carefully decide what other information—and how much of it—to include. Unless they are specifically relevant to the position sought, personal statistics (such as your birth date or eye color) are best skipped. Instead, consider filling excessive blank space with details about community service you may have done, academic or other honors, or additional skills—whatever helps you to "put your best foot forward" and sell yourself as the most qualified person to fill the job opening.
