问题     Interest in pursuing international careers has soared in recent years, enhanced by chronic (长久的) personnel shortages that are causing companies to search beyond their home borders for talent.
    Professionals seek career experience outside their home countries for a variety of reasons. They may feel the need to recharge their batteries with a new challenge. They may want a position with more responsibility that encourages creativity and initiative. Or they may wish to expose their children to another culture, and the opportunity to learn a second language.
    When applying for a job, one usually has to submit a resume or curriculum vitae (CV). The two terms generally mean the same thing; a one-or two-page document describing one’s educational qualifications and professional experience. However, guidelines for preparing a resume are constantly changing. The best advice is to find out what is appropriate regarding the corporate culture, the country culture, and the culture of the person making the hiring decision. The challenge will be to embrace(包含)two or more cultures in one document. The following list is a good place to start;
   . Educational requirements differ from country to country. In almost every case of "cross-border" job hunting, just stating the title of your degree will not be an adequate description. Provide the reader with details about your studies and any related experience.
   . Pay attention to the resume format you use—chronological or reverse-chronological order. Chronological order means listing your "oldest" work experience first. Reverse-chronological order means listing your current or most recent experience first. Most countries have preferences about which format is most acceptable. If you find no specific guidelines, the general preference is for the reverse-chronological format.
   . If you are submitting your resum6 in English, find out if the recipient(收件人) uses British English or American English because there are variations between the two versions. For example, university education is often referred to as "tertiary education" in the United Kingdom, but this term is rarely used in the United States. A reader who is unfamiliar with these variations may assume that your resume contains errors.
According to the author’s last piece of advice, job applicants should be aware of________.

选项 A、the different educational systems in the US and the UK
B、the differences between American English and British English
C、the recipient’s preference with regard to resume? format
D、the distinctive features of American and British cultures

答案B

解析 细节理解题。作者在最后一条建议中说要注意收件人使用的是哪种英语,因为“英式英语和美式英语有许多不同”。故选B。
