Subject: Advertisement
Dear Ms. Marks,
I am writing in response to your establishment's job advertisement and am interested in applying for either the food server or host position. I have had relevant experience with both jobs and I am certain I could make a valuable contribution to the restaurant. I have attached my resume for your consideration.
In case it might impact your decision, I'd like to add that I am presently attending classes on Monday and Wednesday afternoons, but I am otherwise free to dedicate my time to the restaurant. In addition, I was wondering if the hourly pay for both positions is the same. Thank you for your time and I eagerly await your response.
Sincerely,
April Galloway

What position matches April Galloway's schedule?
【正确答案】
D
【答案解析】解析：本题需要综合两篇文章的内容进行解答。本题问的是适合艾普利·加洛韦的日程的职位是什么，故首先应将答案线索定位至第二封邮件，即艾普利·加洛韦所写的邮件。第二封邮件原文中提到“I am presently attending classes on Monday and Wednesday afternoons，but I am otherwise free to dedicate my time to the restaurant”，即艾普利·加洛韦周一和周三下午有课，其他时间都可以专心在餐厅工作，由此可以确定第一条线索；然而适合其日程的职位尚不明确，因此应再看广告的相关内容。第一则广告中“Host”部分中提到“This is an evening shift position on Fridays and Saturdays．”，即有一个收发员的职位周五及周六晚轮夜班，由此可以确定第二条线索。 将第一条线索“艾普利·加洛韦除周一和周三下午外其他时间都可以在餐厅工作”和第二条线索“有一个收发员的职位周五及周六晚轮夜班”综合起来考虑，可以推知适合她日程的职位是收发员。因此(D)Host为正确答案。
