任务型阅读

    Perhaps at one point in time, it is acceptable to start any letter or e-mail with "To Whom It May Concern".  Starting your cover letter or e-mail for a job this way might give the impression that you didn't do your research on who you're writing to.  After all, people who address other people by their names when writing and speaking to them tend to be more pleasant.

     It can be used in letters of recommendation or reference, formal complaints (抱怨) made to a company, letters of introduction, and letters of interest.

Grammarly uses the example of needing to write a letter of recommendation for a colleague who will have to make several copies to distribute to interviewers.  "In most cases, though, try to narrow your focus rather than cast a broad net," notes  Grammarly. "Ask yourself 'Who does this e-mail concern?' If you can honestly answer 'Anyone', then feel free to use "To Whom It May Concern".(These are the things you should never say in your cover letter.)

    If you do happen to find that using "To Whom May Concern" is appropriate , don't make grammar mistakes, for example , letters or punctuation.  .

A. You might want to take note of other common errors you might be committing, too.

B. But according to Grammarly, there are four times when it's OK to use this greeting.

C. Making mistakes in writing will surely get you low scores.

D. It's also very impersonal, and some employers might not appreciate it.

E. In that circumstance, sending and receiving letters is more of a formal greeting.

F. However, it may be interesting.

G. Those times have changed, though.

    The young dolphin swam in the waters off Brisbane, Australia, and found his seafood dinner. Suddenly he realized that he was not the only hungry predator(捕食者)in the area. A ten-foot tiger shark aimed at the same fish. The dolphin refused to give up the meal and dashed to the shark. The shark attacked him, biting down hard into his back. {#blank#}1{#/blank#}

    Later, on the sandy beach nearby, staff at the Tangalooma Resort were shocked to see the severely wounded male. He was a regular visitor, a playful 12-year-old dolphin called Nari. “We've known him all his life, since he was a baby,” says resort director Trevor Hassard. {#blank#}2{#/blank#}The wound measure about a foot long and more than an inch deep. He took photos of Nari and sent them to vets at Sea World, a local marine mammal park. They agreed that Nari needed emergency care.

    The next day, Sea World staff traveled to the beach to catch Nari.{#blank#}3{#/blank#}Nor did he appear the next evening. Everyone was depressed and worried about him.

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#}“I had started thinking the worst,” Hassard says. “Words can't describe how excited we were.” Six rescuers surrounded Nari and carried him to Sea World. The vets performed an operation to remove the dead flesh from around the bite. Nari was then moved to a special pool where his wound was cleaned and treated regularly.

    {#blank#}5{#/blank#}Sea World decided to tansort Nair back to his home beach. Hassard had worried that the other dolphins might reject Nari after such a long absence. That concern disappeared when Nari's friend Echo instantly recognized him and moved close to his side.

A. But Nari didn't show up

B. Three days later, Nari finally turned up.

C. He felt quite worried when he took a close look at Nari's injury

D. After seven weeks, Nari was fully recovered but growing restless.

    Lower the pressure

    {#blank#}4{#/blank#} That makes it harder to make the smooth lines. Try easing up and don't hold the pencil too tightly.
