问题     Young people often wonder at the large number of employers who do not respond to their application for jobs. They say that despite enclosing return envelopes they hear nothing at all or, at best, an impersonal note is sent declaring that the post for which they applied has been filled. Applicants often developed the suspicion that vacancies are earmarked (指定) for friends and relatives and that advertisements are only put out to avert (转移) this accusation. Many of them tire of writing around and feel that if only they could obtain an interview with the right person their application would meet with success.
    Not to acknowledge applicants’ letters is impolite and there seems little excuse for this. Yet even sending brief replies to the many who apply takes much time and money. That so-called return envelope may not have been stamped by the sender, and a hard-pressed office manager may be reluctant to send off long letters of explanation to disappointed job-hunters. A brief note is all that can be managed and even that depends on the policy of the firm. But this difficulty is reasonably easy to remove with a little goodwill.  
The author thinks that a letter to decline an applicant should be______.
选项 A、a long letter of explanation
B、a brief letter with a little goodwill
C、a brief letter to avert accusation
D、an impersonal note in a stamped envelope
答案B
解析 本题是一道推断类问题。问作者认为婉言拒绝求职者的回复信应该有什么样的特点。根据文章第二段的内容，对申请信件不予回复是不礼貌的，并且也没有什么理由这么做。然而，即使是对诸多的申请人回上简短的几句话也要花掉许多时间和钱。所谓回信用的信封，申请人可能没有在上面贴邮票。忙得焦头烂额的办公室经理会不情愿给那些失望的求职者寄发很长的解释信。一张简短的便条便是所能做的一切，即使这样，也要取决于公司的政策。但这一困难完全可以付诸一点善意轻易地加以解决。我们可以推断出本题的正确答案应是B“这种回复信应该简洁明了、富有善意”。
