问题    There is a new type of small advertisement becoming increasingly common m newspaper classified columns. It is sometimes placed among "situations vacant", although it does not offer any one 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 in view.
   There is no doubt, however, that it is the increasing 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.
Nowadays a demand for this specialised type of service has been created because______.
选项 A、there is a lack of jobs available for artistic people
B、there are so many top-level jobs available
C、there are so many people out of work
D、the job history is considered to be a work of art______.
答案C
解析 第二段第二句说“这种特殊服务的发展和明显成功反映了目前失业率很高”，可见之所以出现这种特殊类型的服务是因为有很多人失业。因而选[C]。
