  1. Suppose you’re in a rush, feeling tired, not paying attention to your screen, and you send an email that could get you in trouble.

    Realisation will probably set in seconds after you’ve clicked “send”. You freeze in horror and burn with shame.

    What to do? Here are four common email accidents, and how to handle.

    Clicking “send” too soon

    Don’t waste your time trying to find out if the receivers has read it yet. Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief explaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored.

    Writing the wrong time

    The sooner you notice, the better. Respond quickly and briefly, apologizing for your mistake. Keep the tone measured: don’t handle it too lightly, as people can be offered, especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their culture(I.e. incorrect ordering of Chinese names).

    Clicking “reply all” unintentionally

    You accidentally reveal(透露)to entire company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner, or what holiday you’d like to take. In this instance, the best solution is to send a quick, light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardness. But it can quickly rise to something worse, when everyone starts hitting “reply all” to join in a long and unpleasant conversation. In this instance, step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down.

    Sending an offensive message to it’s subject

    The most awkward email mistake is usually committed in anger. You write an unkind message about someone, intending to send it to a friend, but accidentally send it to the person you’re discussing. In that case, ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry. Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly—see it as an opportunity tic hear up any difficulties you may have with this person.

    1.After realizing an email accident, you are likely to feel _______.

    A. curious   B. tired

    C. awful   D. funny

    2.If you have written the wrong name in an email, it is best to ________.

    A. apologise in a serious manner   B. tell the receiver to ignore the error

    C. learn to write the name correctly   D. send a short notice to everyone

    3.What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is started by your “reply all” email?

    A. Try offering other choices.   B. Avoid further involvement(参与).

    C. Meet other staff members.   D. Make a light-hearted apology.

    4.What is the passage mainly about?

    A. Defining email errors.   B. Reducing email mistakes.

    C. Handling email accidents.   D. Improving email writing.

  2. I have always been interested in making things. When I was a child, I enjoyed drawing, but I also liked making things out of clay(粘土). I won a prize for one of my paintings when I was fourteen. That may be why I went to art school four years later. But I studied painting at first, not pottery(制陶). I like being a potter because I like to work with my hands and feel the clay. I'm happy working by myself and being near my home. I don't like mass-produced(集体生产)things, because they are made by machines. I think crafts(手工艺) are very important and crafts-people make things cleverly with hands. They make our lives colorful. When I left school, I got some money. I hope to become a full-time crafts-woman. This work-place is small, but I wish to move to a larger one next year.

    1.From the passage we are sure that the writer is a _______.

    A. student   B. teacher   C. man   D. woman

    2.The writer got into art school because of ______.

    A. liking to make things

    B. enjoying working near her home

    C. a prize won when the writer was young

    D. a wish to be a potter

    3.When entering art school, the writer was about ______.

    A. 14   B. 16   C. 18   D. 21

    4.The writer is talking about her workplace _____.

    A. unhappily   B. hopefully   C. seriously   D. angrily

  4. We all have our ways of marking time. As a photographer, my life is measured from one story to the next. My oldest son was born in the middle of a long story about the Endangered Species Act. My daughter came along with a pack of gray wolves.

    Twenty stories later, though, it’s the story in Alaska that I’ll remember best. It was the story about the loss of wilderness — and the story during which my wife Kathy got cancer. That’s the one that made time stand still. I stopped taking pictures on the day when she found that tumor (肿瘤). Cruelly, it was Thanksgiving. By Christmas, she had become very weak. Some days she was so sick she couldn’t watch TV.

    Early examination saves time. But ours was not early. By the time you can feel it yourself, it’s often bigger than the doctor want it to be.

    Cancer is a thief. It steals time. Our days are already short with worry. Then comes this terrible disease, unfair as storm at harvest time. But cancer also has the power to change us, for good. We learn to simplify, enjoying what we have instead of feeling sorry for what we don’t. Cancer even made me a better father. My work had made me a stranger to my three kids. But now I pay attention to what really matters. This is not a race. This is a new way of life and new way of seeing, all from the cancer.

    In the end each of us has so little time. We have less of it than we can possibly imagine. And even though it turns out that Kathy’s cancer has not spread, and her prognosis (诊断) is good, we try to make it all count now, enjoying every part of every day.

    I’ve picked up my camera again. I watch the sky, searching for beautiful light. When winter storms come, Kathy and I gather our children and take the time to catch snowflakes (雪花) on our tongues. After all, this is good. This is what we’re living for.

    1.As a photographer, the author used to ______

    A. leave his daughter with a pack of gray wolves

    B. devote much more to his career than his family

    C. miss a great many important historical moments

    D. express his love for his family in a special way

    2.Why did the author decide to stop taking pictures?

    A. To cure his own disease.

    B. To leave the wilderness alone.

    C. To seek a better position.

    D. To spend more time with his wife.

    3.What is the biggest change the cancer has brought to the author?

    A. He takes his work more seriously

    B. He has become a stranger to his children.

    C. He treasured every bit of time with his family

    D. He focuses more on medical care.

    4.The author and his family catch snowflakes on their tongues probably because ______.

    A. they regard that as a way to enjoy life

    B. snowflakes are what they feed on

    C. the snowflakes taste very good

    D. there is beautiful light in the snowflakes

  1. November is the month when many people offer thanks. 1. Use these tips to help develop a sense of gratitude (感激) in each of your children, no matter what their age.

    2. While sitting at the dinner table, ask each member of the family to think about their day and share something that they are thankful for. Meanwhile, use this same time to ask everyone if there is something that they could improve upon or do better tomorrow.

    Write thank-you notes. We live in a time when we communicate through text messages, Twitter, and Facebook. Show children the value of writing a thank- you note by hand. 4.

    Put together a “care package” of donations (捐赠物) for an orphanage nearby. In the season of giving, teaching your child to share his blessings with those less fortunate can be a valuable lesson in gratitude. Use the activity as a jump-off point.

    Gratitude isn’t “taught” overnight, and it is certainly not something that children of a young age can grasp at the start. 5. Being grateful is something our kids begin to understand when we act as the model. Grateful kids come from grateful parents.

    A.Create a routine of giving thanks.

    B.Teach them to write it frequently.

    C.Let them create their own thank-you cards.

    D.The means of showing gratitude is important.
