I want to write before I e in, so as to save time for both of us. I am a full time college student at Albany State looking for work, and am interested in being a courier with Roadwise.I have most of the necessary skills your advertisement suggested: I have a very good bicycle that, except for the occasional flat tire, never fails to get me from my dormitory to my classes. I have a good work ethic, as evidenced by the high grades I have received in college. I have never been a courier before, but I am very fortable with my bike and quite familiar with the Albany area.I do have a question about the position, however. My question is actually about your work hours. I am not against working late but it seems to me that it would be quite dangerous to work after 6:00 pm, at certain times of the year, particularly over the winter months, due to the lack of sunlight. Bicycling at night is always dangerous. Its difficult to see road dangers ahead of you and its difficult for vehicles to see you.If you are still interested in hiring me, I believe I would make an excellent courier for your pany.

Willingness to work late into the evening as a courierBIf youve ever visited London, its likely that youve heard the loud chimes（鳴響）of Big Ben, the 157-year-old clock bell of the UKs Houses of Parliament（議會(huì)）.But on Aug 21, the worlds most famous bell fell silent. This is because the Palace of Westminsters Elizabeth Tower, which houses Big Ben, needs to be repaired. The workers wholl carry out the repairs dont want their ears to be damaged by the sounds of the huge bell, reported BBC News. Big Ben wont ring again regularly until 2021.Theres been quite an emotional response to the move. Several members of parliament gathered in front of the Houses of Parliament to hear the bells last regular chime for four years. A few even shed tears, as if they were attending a friends funeral.But a number of politicians are angry about the lengthy silencing of Big Ben, calling it a symbol of Britain, according to ABC News. And some members of public agree with it. “Its our heritage,” David Dummigan, from Cumbria in the north of England, told The New York Times. “People e from all over the world to look at it and listen to it. Its part of British history.” This kind of emotional reaction could be linked to “fears about Britain losing its voice and place in the world, which is part of the threat that es from Brexit”, according to CNN. “The reality of losing a place at the top table is being made obvious,” it wrote.Worries aside, fans of Big Ben will still be able to hear its unique chimes during special occasions such as New Years Eve. But if we do miss hearing Big Ben on a regular basis, we could always set its sound as our message tone.24. Why did Big Ben fall silent?A. To get Big Ben repaired. B.

Britons are Worried about the Fall of the UK.C. Britain is Losing its Place at the Top Table.D. Big Ben Falls Silent for Four Years.C In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply bymaking changes toits environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics (策略).One tactic involves where to display the goods. Foe example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food later in their trip. In department stores, the womens shoe section is generally next to the womens cosmetics (化妝品) section：while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later. Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wine went up. When it es to the selling of houses, businesses also use highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses.28. Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?A. To save customers time. B. To show they are high quality foods.C. To help sell junk food. D. To sell them at discount prices.29. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?A. Opening the store early in the morning. B. Displaying British wines next to French ones.C. Inviting customers to play music. D. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread.30. What is the California builders story intended to prove?A. The house structure is a key factor customers consider.B. The more costly the house is, the better it sells.C. An ocean view is much to the customers taste.D. A good first impression increases sales.31. What is the main purpose of the passage?A. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers.B. To introduces how businesses have grown from the past.C. To report researches on customer behavior.D. To show dishonest business practices.D Research shows that isolation(隔絕，孤立)is bad for us and associated with certain diseases including depression, high blood pressure and heart disease. Yet teenagers seek isolation by using the device of our times-a screen, screens of all kinds. However, in whatever form, screens are addictive, and addictive from an early age. Research has shown that given the chance, six-month-old babies prefer screens to real human faces. Hand in hand with this addiction to screens, we are seeing an explosion of teenage mental health problems. Social media claims to be inclusive, keeping you connected. But its not. It isolates you from real people. Screens have evn been described as being poisonous for teenagers. Psychologist Jean Twenge, a professor at San Diego State University, believes todays teenagers are “on the edge” of a major mental health crisis and requestes, “do anything that doesnt involve a screen”. The problem is, she claims, children born between 1995 and xx have grown up with a smart phone in their hands, and it has “changed every aspect” of their lives. The number of teenagers who actually see their friends frequently has dropped by more than 40% since xx. In xx, only 56% of 17-year-old went on a date, down from 85%. Modern teenagers are slower to learn to drive, or earn money and spend more time at home. Theyre “on their phone, in their room, alone and often depressed”, she says. Some critics, however, say we should encourage our children to spend more time online. Robert Hannigan, former director of GCHQ, said in August that Britain is badly short of engineers and puter scientists, and urged children to develop cyber skill to pete in the digital economy. I m not the first to say that social media is inferior to real human contact, and harms mental health. Studies show teens who spend three hours a day online are 35% more likely to suicide(自殺). The suicide rate among girls aged 12 to 14 has more than doubled in a decade.32. Why does Jean Twenge call on teens to surf online less?A. Social media is inclusive and keeps them connectedB. Social media has changed every aspect of their livesC. Social media does great harm to their eyesightD. Social media is addictive and leads to mental problems33. Robert Hannigan may agree that we should _. A. allow teens to isolate themselves from real social contact B. call on teens to do anything that doesnt involve a screen C. urge children to contact people face to face instead of online D. encourage children to spend more time on the Internet34. What does the underlined phrase “inferior to” in the last paragraph refer to? A. Worse than B. As effective as C. More useful than D. Similar to35. What may be the best title for the text? A. Teenagers seeking isolation using screens B. Social media causing teenagers mental health crisis C. Teenagers heavy addiction to social media D.
