从下列每篇短文的问题后所给的四个选择项中选出一个最佳答案，并在答题纸上将相应的字母涂黑。

Passage One

Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.

Young people often wonder at the large number of employers who do not respond to their applications for jobs. They say that despite enclosing return envelopes they hear nothing at all or , at best , an impersonal (无人情味的) note is sent declaring that the post for which they applied has been filled. Applicants often suspect that job vacancies are set aside for friends and relatives and that advertisements are only put to prevent this accusation(指责). Many of them are tired of writing away and feel that if only they could obtain an interview with the right person their application would meet with success.

Not to acknowledge applicants’letters is impolite and there seems little excuse for this, yet even sending brief replies to the many who apply takes much time and money. That so-called return envelope may not have been stamped by the sender, and an office manger under the heavy workload may be reluctant to send off long letters of explanation to disappointed job-hunters. A brief note is all that can be managed and even that depends on the policy of the firm. But the difficulty is reasonably easy to remove with a little goodwill.

21．It can be inferred from the first paragraph that applicants have good reasons to believe that the posts they apply for_______________.

A．are only for the purpose of advertisement

B．are reserved for friends and relatives

C．are not there at all

D．are not good enough to satisfy their needs

22．Many job-hunters think that they can get a job if_______________.

A．they write more letters of application

B．they find the right person
