问题      There is a new type of small advertisement becoming increasingly common in newspaper classified columns. It is some times placed among "situations vacant", although it does not offer anyone a job, and sometimes it appears among situations wanted, although it is not placed by someone looking for a job either. What it does is to offer help in applying for a job.
      Contact us before writing your application, or make use of our long experience in preparing your curriculum vitae or job history, is how it is usually expressed. The growth and apparent success of such a specialized service is, of course, a reflection on the current high levels of unemployment. It is also an indication of the growing importance of the curriculum vitae(or job history) ,with the suggestion that it may now qualify as an art form in its own right.
     There was a time when job seekers simply wrote letters of application. Just put down your name, address, age and whether you have passed any exams, was about the average level of advice offered to young people applying for their first jobs when I left school. The letter was really just for openers, it was explained, everything else could and should be saved for the interview. And in those days of full employment the technique worked. The letter proved that you could write and were available for work. Your eager face and intelligent replies did the rest.
      Later, as you moved up the ladder, something slightly more sophisticated was called for. The advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish you from the rest. It might be the aggressive approach. Your search is over. I am the person you are looking for, was a widely used trick that occasionally succeeded. Or it might be some special feature specially designed for the job interview.
     There is no doubt, however, that it is the increasing number of applicants with university education at ail points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the great importance of the curriculum vitae.
Which of the following statements is NOT true?
选项 A、The new type of advertisement means to offer help in people’s applying for job vacancies.
B、Your search is over, I am the person you are looking for is a frequently used trick to impress potential employers,
C、There was a time when an application letter and an interview were all that was needed to get a job.
D、The number of job hunters with a college degree has been on the rise ail these years.
答案B
解析 B项意为“您的招聘结束了，我正是您要找的人，这(作为应聘策略)被广泛应用，并能给招聘者(potential employers)留下深刻印象”。这与原文意思是相悖的。本句话出现在倒数第二段中间第四句，文章说，这句话虽被广泛应用，却只是偶尔奏效(a widely used trick that occasionally succeeded)。故B项是不合文章意思的(Not true)。A项是第一段最后一句话的内容；C项是第三段的内容；D项出现在最后一段。
