Emphasize Your Academic Experience

In the letter, you can mention academic experience, if applicable. Especially if you have limited work experience, you might use examples from school to demonstrate that you have particular skills. For example, if the internship requires you to work as part of a team, provide an example of an assistant at the library or a successful team project you worked on during one of your college courses.

Include Extra Classroom Experiences

You can also include details about your relevant experience form extra classroom activities or volunteer work. For example, a reporter for a college newspaper can point to interviewing and writing skills; a history of volunteering at a shelter can provide an example of strong interpersonal and organizational skills.

2 . Your success as a manager can be determined by how you interact with people. The role of a manager as a leader is an important part of these interactions. Leadership involves influencing colleagues so that they follow a given direction or goal.    1    

The first is the “people function”. Here leadership helps to hold a group together and maintain the motivation of the group.    2    In this role the leader will ensure the group has sufficient funds to carry out its tasks. So a leader should be seen to have influence both outside the group and within the group.

Next comes the “task function”. Here leadership involves deciding what the tasks of the group of employees are and then making sure that they are carried out successfully.

The third is the “strategic function.”     3    A group of workers that knows what they are trying to achieve will be more efficient and better motivated than a group that doesn’t know what it’s supposed to be doing.

    4    For example, how much power the manager has over the group, how well the manager knows the systems present in an organization and how many personal contacts the manager has within the organization.

Good communication is another crucial element to successful leadership. A good leader is aware both of the message to be communicated and of the importance of effective communication to influence members of the group.     5    It is essential to be a role model for the policies you advocate. And remember, always accept responsibility for your mistakes and don’t blame colleagues for things that you do badly. No one is perfect. Just remember this when you interact with colleagues.

A．A leader should act as an ambassador for the group.

B．Leadership here helps with the development of a sense of purpose and direction for the group.

C．It is often stated that leadership has three main functions within groups.

D．A manager’s ability to influence people depends on a range of factors.

E．Networking includes the ability to make and maintain useful contacts.

F．This shows that you are aware of the effort colleagues are putting into their work.

G．A manager’s behavior is a vital component of the message they communicate to colleagues.

8 . If you had asked me then if I would accept a job as a restaurant critic for The New York Times. or any establishment publication, I would have replied, without a second thought, “Of course not!” And not just because I did not want to think of myself as an ambitious sort Working in restaurants was honest labor, anyone could see that. Writing about them for the mainstream press was not; it felt like joining the enemy.

But renewing was fun. so much fun that when mainstream publishers started paying me for my opinions, I didn't do the decent thing. Before I knew it, I had stopped cooking Professionally.

Then I stopped cooking altogether. “She's joined the leisure class.” my friend said.

I disarmed (消解怒气)) my critics by inviting them along; nobody I knew could afford to eat out and nobody refused. We went with equal amounts of guilt and pleasure, with a feeling that we were trespassing (侵入))on the playgrounds of the rich.

We didn't belong in starchy restaurants. We knew it, and when we climbed out of my rent - a - wreck, splendid in years from the Salvation Army, everybody else knew it, too. We always got the worst table. And then, because I didn't own a credit card, I had to pay in cash. The year turned into two and three, and more. I got a credit card. I got good clothes. I was writing for increasingly prestigious (声誉高的)publications. Meanwhile, a voice inside me kept whispering, ^“How could you?”

The voice is still there, yakking (喋喋不休)away. When I receive weekly letters from people who think it is indecent to write about $100 meals while half the world is hungry, the voice yaks right along, “They're absolutely right, you elitist pig is hisses”. And when it asks. “When are you going to grow up and get a real job?^” it sounds a lot like my mother.

And just about then is when I tell the voice to shut up. Because when my mother starts idling me that all I'm doing with my life is telling rich people where to eat, I realize how much the world has changed.

Yes, there are still restaurants where rich people go to remind themselves that they are different from you and me. But there are fewer and fewer of them. As American food has come of age. American restaurants have changed. Going out to eat used to be like going to the opera; today, it is more like going to the movies.

And so everyone has become a critic. I couldn't be happier. The more people pay attention to what and how they eat, the more accustomed they become to their own senses and the world around them.

When I remember that conversation with M. F. K. Fisher, I wish I had not been quite so gentle. When I rerun the loop in my mind, I turn to her and say this: “No, you are wrong. A. J. Liebling had it right. All it really takes to be a restaurant critic is a good appetite.”

1. How did the author feel about the job as a restaurant critic at the very beginning?

A．She didn't think much of it

B．She was the ambitious one for it.

C．It was not suitable for a cook like her.

D．It was not easy to work for the mainstream press.

2. What does the third paragraph talk about?

A．A strong desire to be invited to eat out like the rich.

B．A mixed feeling of guilt and pleasure about eating out.

C．A mixed feeling of guilt and pleasure going into private property.

D．A special treat to be able to go into private property for fun.

3. What does the underlined sentence “The year turned into two, and three, and more.” In paragraph 4 mean?

A．She stayed in the career as a cook for years.

B．She kept on writing as a restaurant critic for years.

C．It was years before she quit the career as a cook.

D．It was years before her application for a credit card got approved.

4. The underlined word ''indecent'' in paragraph 5 most probably means .

A．worthwhile

B．critical

C．unacceptable

D．imperfect

5. What changes have taken place to American restaurants?

A．They have places for both the rich and the poor.

B．They have varieties of means for entertainment.

C．They have become too expensive to be available.

D．They have become affordable to common people,

6. Which of the following statements will the author most probably agree with?

A．The writer is getting tired of the job.

B．good appetite makes a good critic.

C．There is no need for restaurant critics at all.

D．Eating out is no longer a privilege the rich have.

The GREATEST Journey

I had lunch last week with a high-ranking business woman for a fortune 500 company. I asked her what tips she would give to someone early in their career. Without hesitation she jumped right into four keys to her professional climb:
Know your business. Never get satisfaction with your industry or your position. In most cases, the knowledge you hold now is not good enough to stand the test of time. Thus, you must keep working to stay on top of what’s new and what’s coming down the pipeline. This is what really counts, especially early in a professional career, as many entry level associates are content to be gainfully employed.
Pick careers with care. Again, early in your career it is easy to run after the job that offers the most money. In the case of a life-long career money cannot answer all things. If you are going to be an entrepreneur then you’ll probably start with a budget of zero. Yet, if you have the discipline, working for yourself could be the best choice you’ve ever made.
If you are going to work for a company you have to do your homework. If you find a company that consists with your values and produces a product that you 100% believe in, then you’ll have an easy time giving that organization your all.
Be personable. If everyone hates to be around you at the office, it’s time to check your attitude. We’ve all heard at least one anecdote about a great thinker with great skills who drove coworkers crazy. Someway, somehow many of the brightest and best lack the “people skills” to advance beyond an entry-level position.
In short, you must have the interpersonal insight to interact with internal and external contacts. If not, you may find that you are unimportant once someone with soft-skills joins the organization. Why? People have to buy you before they ever buy the product you’re selling.
Be willing to move. This is where I got puzzled. She shared how she lived in seven states still working for the same organization.
Much is made of moving in today’s attempts to climb the corporate ladder. As more and more companies extend to have a global reach, it is easy to understand why new opportunities birth in various locations.
Whatever the path, outline in your heart what destination you hope to reach and this will be a key indicator as to which journey will be greatest for you.
