This position is exactly what I am looking for and an ideal opportunity for me to use my knowledge, educational background and experience.My arts education at Pratt Institute has helped me develop a firm foundation in the arts. The courses I have completed at Pratt, along with my study abroad in Paris, have prepared me well for a position in arts education. I have always enjoyed a passion for the arts but my undergraduate (本科) education has taken my interest to a whole new level. I not only enjoy doing art but I find myself even more enthusiastic when I have the opportunity to teach what I have learned.For the past two summers I have worked directly with children at City Arts. These experiences were amazing since my responsibilities included planning and directing major projects that were planned for the summer program that goes on each year for local children interested in the arts. I was given a concept at the beginning of each summer and I had complete control of how the projects were to be completed. The children were the creative force and often were the inspiration for the artwork that was eventually presented to the public.I am very excited about the summer opportunity with the Childrens Museum of the Arts since I know that I can definitely make a positive contribution while doing what I loveteaching art to children. I will contact you in one week to discuss my candidacy(候选资格) and see if you have any questions about my education or experience. Thank you for your time and consideration. Sincerely, Samantha R.

By thinking differently about everything from the unusually high number of patients it treats to the millions for whom it provides insurance, the hospital group is able to continually reduce costs. Narayana Hrudayalayas operations include the worlds largest and most productive cardiac(心脏病的) hospital, where the average openheart surgery runs less than $2,000, a third or less what it costs elsewhere in India.Narayana Hrudayalayas origins date back to 2001, when it built its massive cardiac center on the outskirts(市郊) of Bangalore. But it has expanded since then into what founder Dr. Devi Shetty calls a“health city”, a series of centers specializing in eye, trauma, and cancer care. Narayana Hrudayalaya now manages or owns hospitals in 14 other Indian cities.Expanding access is paired with an ongoing focus on efficiency. Typically, says Shetty, private hospitals in India focus on patients who can easily afford treatment. “We did it the other way around,” he says. “This hospital is for poor people, but we also treat some rich people. We dont look at people who are shabbily dressed and have trouble paying as outsiders.” Narayana Hrudayalayas flagship hospital has 3,000 beds and negotiates for better prices and buys directly from manufacturers, cutting out distributors. In addition to costcutting, Narayana Hrudayalaya finds creative ways to make the economics work. The company started a microinsurance program backed by the government that enables 3 million farmers to have coverage for as little as 22 cents a month in premiums(保险费). Patients who pay discounted rates are in effect compensated by those who pay full price. Doing somethingdoing more, actuallyis the point. By 2017, Shetty, 58, plans to expand from 5,000 beds throughout India to 30,000. Before becoming one of Indias bestknown healthcare entrepreneurs, Shetty was its bestknown heart surgeon. He was interrupted in surgery one day during the 1990s by a request to make a house call. “I said, I dont make home visits, ” Shetty says, “and the caller said, If you see this patient, the experience may transform your life.” The request was from Mother Teresa. Inspired by her work with the poor, he then set out to create a hospital to deliver care based on need, not wealth. “One lesson she taught me, ” he says, quoting a saying he keeps framed in his office, “is Hands_that_sew_are_holier_than_lips_that_pray”【解题导语】文章讲述了Narayana Hrudayalaya 是一个印度的综合医疗结构,它的目的是给人们提供低价钱、高质量的医疗服务。本文同时介绍了它的历史,它的创始人Shetty为什么要创办这所医院。41Narayana Hrudayalaya started a microinsurance to _Acut down on the cost of the treatmentBget the support of the governmentCmake the company run smoothlyDattract more people to its hospitalC解析: 细节理解题。 根据第四段第一句In addition to costcutting, Narayana Hrudayalaya finds creative ways to make the economics work. 可知, 这所医院除了降低成本, 还找到了一种新颖的方式来保持其经济运作, 也就是下文提到的小额保险的形式(a microinsurance program)。 因此, 启动小额保险的项目是为了医院的顺利运作, 故选C项。42We can infer from the passage that _Athe cost of medicine care in India is very lowBShetty wouldnt have succeeded without Mother TeresaCShetty and his colleagues are likely to make home visits nowDShetty has expanded his hospitals to most of other cities in IndiaC解析: 推理判断题。 根据文章最后一段可知, Shetty本人是一名著名的心外科医生, 但是从不出诊(home visits)。 但是, 一次来自Mother Teresa(特蕾莎修女)的出诊请求改变了他。 特蕾莎修女对他说:“If you see this patient, the experience may transform your life.”由此推断, Shetty和他的同事现在很可能会出诊了。 故选C项。43Why did Shetty build the massive cardiac center in 2001?AHe wanted to build a health city.BHe was motivated and decided to help more people.CHe intended to develop his career in different areas.DHe meant to help more poor people get free treatment.B解析: 推理判断题。 根据文章最后一段的Inspired by her work with the poor, he then set out to create a hospital to deliver care based on need, not wealth. 可推断, Shetty创立心脏病中心是受到特蕾莎修女的激励, 目的是为了帮助人们, 尤其是贫穷的人们, 故选B项。44How would you understand the underlined sentence in the last paragraph?AIts doing something and doing more that really matters.BIts not easy to take positive action to contribute to the society.CHealthcare workers are the holiest persons in the world.DPraying alone is of no significance in face of difficult situation.A解析: 细节理解题。 本句字面的意思是:缝纫的双手比祈祷的双唇更神圣。 言外之意就是:做事要比只说不做重要。 A项Its doing something and doing more that really matters. 是一句强调句, 意思是做一些事和做更多事真的很重要, 符合原文句意, 故选A项。D(2016浙江嘉兴一中考试)“It is a dreadful thing to be poor a fortnight before Christmas, ” said Clorinda, with the mournful sigh of seventeen years.Aunt Emmy smiled. Aunt Emmy was sixty, and spent the hours she didnt spend in a bed, on a sofa or in a wheel chair; but Aunt Emmy was never heard to sigh.“The gifts which money can purchase are not the only ones we can give, ” said Aunt Emmy gently, “nor the best, either.”“Oh, I know its nicer to give something of your own work,” agreed Clorinda, “but materials for fancy work cost too. That kind of gift is just as much out of the question for me as any other.”“That was not what I meant, ” said Aunt Emmy.“What did you mean, then?” asked Clorinda, looking puzzled.Aunt Emmy smiled.“Suppose you think out my meaning for yourself, ” she said. “That would be better than me to explain it. Besides, I dont think I could explain it. Take the beautiful line of a beautiful poem to help you in your thinking out: The_gift_without_the_giver_is_bare.”
