阅读理解 Job letters and resumes must attract the attention of busy readers, who may spend only 60 seconds deciding whether to consider you further. This article gives you the tools to write a successful letter and resume. "Successful," of course, means a letter and resume that will get you an interview. After that, your interpersonal skills will help you land the job. The letter and resume only aim to get you to the next step--the personal interview.Most job letters and resumes still get sent through the mail. However, a growing number of applicants ( 申请人) use the Internet to apply for jobs.   For example, on-line services can place resumes into a bank used by hundreds, perhaps thousands, of companies. The resumes will be scanned with the use of software, which searches for key words that reflect abilities needed for specific jobs and then sends selected resumes to companies.   Whether you use on-line techniques like e-mail and resume services or stick with the traditional approach( 方式) the same basic writing prisiples apply. Your letter, no longer than one page, should be specific about the job you seek and your main selling points. The resume--one page or two at most--should simply, specifically ,and neatly highlight(强调) your background. 根据以上内容,回答41-45题。
