A polished resume is essential for a successful school or job application. A clear structure and well organized content can be the difference between success and failure.
Structuring your resume
(1) Create a header with your name and contact information. At the top of the page、type your full name, address, phone number and email address. There are also down loadable templates(模板)available online. If none of them appeals to you. however, you can always use your own design,
(2) Use a chronological(时间顺序排列的)resume. In a chronological resume, you list your work and education experiences, starting with your most recent experience.
(3) Include your relevant education, awards or training. Typically, your highest academic qualification is the only one you need to include on your resume. However, you can add lesser achievements if they are relevant to a job's requirements.
If you had a cumulative(累积的)GPA of 3.5 or higher, feel free to include it. Otherwise, it would be best to leave it out. If you’re listing more than one degree, include your GPA on both of them, if possible.
(4) List work experience, including relevant volunteer work and internships. Use specific job titles and short explanations that tell potential employers exactly what you did, what skills you gained and how they could be useful in a new job.
(5) Try a functional resume, if you lack direct work experience. With a functional resume you can highlight your specific skills and resources without having to list previous jobs. A functional resume emphasizes what you can do rather than what you've done.
Making your content shine
(1) Place keywords in your resume strategically. Schools or employers often use software to scan resumes for specific keywords.
(2) Add hobbies and interests, if they relate to the job. A section for hobbies and interests is usually considered optional. However, you should include only hobbies or interests that would benefit an employer. For example, if the job requires good teamwork, you can say that you were captain of your high school basketball team.
(3) Proofread before sending your resume. Don't only rely on the grammar and spelling checkers built into your word processing app. Read through your resume several times to make sure it's error-free.
(4) Save your resume as a PDF file. Most schools and employers prefer to use PDFS for online safety reasons. So don't forget to convert your document before you send it

Last month, a modernized Fisheries Act became law in order to set the stage for rebuilding the abundance(丰富的) of fish in Canada’s oceans. For the first time since its start in 1868, rebuilding plans are now required for reduced fish populations. The act also ends the import and export of shark fins in Canada.
Around the world, it has been a legal requirement to rebuild fish populations and prevent them from becoming reduced. Besides, there are the social, cultural and economic benefits that come along with it. Thanks to authorities who put stress on rebuilding fish populations, the act now lays a strong foundation for supporting healthy oceans for generations to come.
The act bans importing and exporting shark fins in Canada. Fins from as many as 73 million sharks end up in the global shark fin trade every year, including many endangered species. Canada has been the largest importer of shark fins outside of Asia. This act is a huge victory for sharks and for the many Canadians, advocacy(支持) groups and politicians who joined together to fight for the ban on this cruel practice.
Billions of people worldwide depend on our oceans for their food and livelihood. By rebuilding its fisheries, Canada is helping lead the way toward healthier and more sustainable oceans. In fact, in Canada, only 34% of fish populations are healthy while more than 13% are dangerously reduced. The new act should change this, requiring that rebuilding plans be created for all fish populations in the critical zone. The act also contains modern fisheries management practices, such as ecosystem-based approaches and habitat protection measures. Rebuilding fish populations can also increase incomes and jobs in coastal communities.
Oceana Canada worked closely with Fisheries and Oceans Canada, First Nations, advocacy groups, fishers and others to bring the changes to the act to success and will continue to advocate fisheries rebuilding in Canada.
【1】What can we learn about the aim of the new act?
A.To increase Canada’s fish populations.
B.To make rules for fish trade in Canada.
C.To clean oceans for the survival of fish.
D.To set a protected area for shark species.
【2】What’s the author’s attitude towards passing the new act?
A.Indifferent. B.Unclear. C.Positive. D.Opposed.
【3】What does the underlined part “this cruel practice” in Paragraph 3 refer to?
A.The ban on global trade.
B.The global shark fin trade.
C.Importing and exporting goods.
D.Polluting habitats of endangered species.
【4】What is Paragraph 4 mainly about?
A.Different opinions on the new act.
B.The significance of passing the new act.
C.The advance in Canada’s ocean protection.
D.Factors preventing the passing of the new act.
【5】What can we infer from the last paragraph?
A.Carrying out the new act is an impossible task.
B.Ocean protection needs a joint effort across the world.
C.Canada is determined to take the lead in global fishing market.
D.A number of parties take part in rebuilding Canada’s fisheries.

You’ve put on your nice clothes, your hair comes out just right, and someone tells you how great you look. But instead of enjoying the praise, you find it difficult to give a response. So, why can a compliment be so hard to accept?
“Many people have trouble accepting compliments. Sometimes, it’s tied to social anxiety. It can also be caused by feelings of low self-esteem, or by going through life without experiencing positive feelings of being grateful,” explains Lisa Schuman, a New York-based social worker. “Besides, if you’re feeling anger towards someone and they give you a compliment, you may find it hard to believe.”
Have you ever met a person who couldn’t respond well to someone’s well-meaning, kind words and had to escape from the conversation? Social anxiety disorder is not just a catch-all phrase; it’s an actual condition. People with it can really struggle with both giving and getting compliments. They may cast off kind words about themselves because they don’t feel worthy of getting them. This leads to a bad cycle of reducing self-esteem and even more social anxiety.
Even for people who don’t suffer from this disorder, compliments can sometimes lead to embarrassment, especially if you’re feeling unsure of yourself in the moment. And it’s a very rare person who never feels uncomfortable some of the time, either at parties or during close conversations. But learning how to accept compliments is an important social skill that everyone can benefit from, whether they experience social anxiety occasionally or often.
Studies have shown that self-knowledge and self-esteem are the two main influences on our social interactions. We actually bring our own feelings about ourselves into each conversation we have. Everyone has a poor self-esteem day every now and then. If we get a compliment on such a day, it’s hard to believe —— and pretty much impossible to accept. So even a pure-hearted, well-meaning and honest compliment is going to land on us like a lie. Then how can we properly deal with others’ compliments in that case?
【1】What do Lisa Schuman’s words suggest?
A.People often feel uneasy about being praised in public.
B.Everyone needs compliments to build their self-esteem.
C.Various causes can make it a real struggle to accept praise.
D.Many people have trouble accepting their own appearances.
【2】What does the underlined phrase “cast off” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Pick up on. B.Get rid of. C.Turn over. D.Argue for.
【3】What does Paragraph 3 intend to show?
A.The bad effects of social anxiety disorders.
B.The reasons for giving others more compliments.
C.The difficulties of strangers in praising each other.
D.The process of developing a social anxiety disorder.
【4】What is implied in Paragraph 4?
A.Social skills are essential for a rich life.
B.Most people have more or less social anxiety.
C.Few people will experience embarrassment at parties.
D.Close conversations are helpful in reducing social anxiety.
【5】What will probably be discussed in the following paragraphs?
A.How to have high self-esteem all the time.
B.What kind of compliments is the most acceptable.
C.Why people feel unsure of themselves in some moments.
D.How to respond well to compliments on a low self-esteem day.
