问题     There is a new type of small advertisement becoming increasingly common in newspaper classified columns. It is sometimes 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, of course, is 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 increasing in number of applicants with university education at all points in the process of engaging staff that has led to the greater importance of the curriculum vitae.
Later, as one went on to apply for more important jobs, one was advised to include in the letter ______.
选项 A、something that would attract attention to one’s application
B、hinted information about the personality of the applicant
C、one’s advantages over others in applying for the job
D、an occasional trick with the aggressive approach
答案A
解析 细节理解题。文章第四段第一行中的“as you moved up the ladder”对应了题干中的“as one went on to apply for more important jobs”。因此，随后的内容即为答案：“Something slightly more sophisticated was called for．The advice then was to put something in the letter which would distinguish you from the rest．”A项正确。B项说“有关申请人个性的隐含信息”，C项说“申请人申请工作时相对于其他人的优势”，这两项均不正确；D项表示“用主动积极的方法偶尔玩点花招"只是引人关注的其中一种方法，不如A具有概括性。
