To: "The Shoe People" <[email protected]>

From: "John Trimbald" <[email protected]>

Subject: Customer Complaint

To Whom it May Concern,

I have trusted the Shoe People to protect the feet of my employees for over ten years now. I recently purchased a few pairs of boots from your company for my crew. Though my men were initially satisfied with the boots, the soles began to fall apart on them after just twelve weeks. This was extremely surprising considering they came with a six year warranty. The boots are unsafe to wear because my men are pouring hot concrete. Please respond as soon as possible with instructions on how I can return the boots and receive a refund.

Thank you,

John Trimbald, Foreman, JT Construction

To: “John Trimbald” <jtconstruction @ img. com>

From: “The Shoe People” <inquiries @ shoepeople. com>

Dear Mr. Trimbald,

Thank you for your e-mail concerning the poor quality of our rubber soled black workboots. A representative will be by your office next week to pick up the damaged boots. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused you and your crew.

Along with five new pairs of workboots for your crew (we included one extra pair), we have enclosed a free year's supply of sole protector spray. In our retail stores, this spray is always recommended to buyers who work on heated floors. This should have been brought to your attention at the time of your initial order. Please excuse our oversight.

To date we have had no complaints about these workboots from customers who have used the protector spray. However, should you use the spray and find that you are still unsatisfied with the boots, please return the boots and spray for a full refund. Thank you for supporting The Shoe People. Have a Happy New Year.

Sincerely,

Stan Mason, President

People tend to become more personal and hide less of themselves when using email. Researchers from Open University in Britain have found in a recent study that there are good reasons for this.

The team of researchers asked 83 pairs of students, all strangers to each other, to solve a problem. They had to discuss this question: If only five people in the world could be saved from a world disaster, who should they be? The pairs of students had to talk over the problem either face to face or by computers. Dr. Johnson said, “They told their partners four times as much about themselves when they talked over the Internet as when they talked face to face. When the computers were fitted with cameras so that students could see each other, this limited the personal side of the conversation.”

Generally the information was not extremely personal. It was mainly about things such as where they went to school, or where they used to live. But some students discussed their love stories, and personal childhood experiences.

Dr Johnson believes that emailing encourages people to focus on themselves. And when they do this, they become more open, especially if there are no cameras. “If you cannot see the other person, it becomes easier to talk about yourself. This is because you are not thinking what the other person is thinking of you. So emailing has become the modern way of talking,” said Dr. Johnson. However, this style of talking is not entirely new. “In the 19th century people started to use the ‘telegraph’ to communicate. Now the same kind of thing has happened and people ended up speaking more freely.”

Dr. Johnson thinks that emailers need to know about these effects of emailing, especially when they start work in a company. “ If you don’t know about them, you could find yourself saying more about yourself than you wanted to.”

1.The subject discussed in this passage is _______.

A. how people do research studies

C. how to communicate at work

D. how to discuss and solve a problem

2.The reason that some couples talked freely about themselves is that _______.

A. they didn’t talk about very personal things

B. they couldn’t see each other

C. the cameras on the computers were turned on

D. they had to discuss a question

3.In the writer’s opinion, one should ______.

A. focus on oneself when emailing

B. talk more freely in emails than usual

C. consider how one uses email at work

D. discuss any subject that one wants to

Domestic airline passengers will be able to make phone calls and send e-mails from the sky from next year, a local carrier has said.

Shenzhen Airlines said on Monday it has signed an agreement with Geneva-based On-Air to provide passengers with in-flight communications services on all its planes by the end of 2009. The service will be introduced on three aircraft ahead of the 2008 Olympics, on two routes----from Shenzhen to Beijing and Shenzhen to Shanghai, the airline said.

Passengers will be able to use their own electronic devices to send e-mails and short messages, make calls and surf the Internet, it said. The service is expected to be of particular interest to business travelers.

According to a survey at the end of last year, China had 4.55 million mobile-phone subscribers. Ninety-three percent of those polled said they wished they could send and receive e-mails and messages while on a plane.

Despite the introduction of the new service, passengers will still be prevented from using their cell phones and laptops when the plane is taking off and landing, or flying at less than 3,000 m above sea level, the official said.

The official said the new service would not lead to an increase in ticket prices, but users of Chinese mobile-phone services will be charged the international roaming rate for any calls made from the sky.

Shenzhen Airlines is the first Chinese carrier to provide such in-flight communications services. Its president, Li Kun, said installing the facilities will cost 4.5 million yuan ($596,000) per aircraft.  However, the project still needs to be approved by the Civil Aviation Administration of China, a source said.

1. According to the report, passengers can      on the plane by the end of 2009.

A. make phone calls    B. surf the Internet

C. send short messages      D. all of the above

2. We can learn that the new service will be introduced           .

A. when the plane is taking off               B. when the plane is landing

C. when the plane is flying at less than 3,000 m in above sea level

D. when the plane is flying at 4,000 m above sea level

4. It can be inferred that the new service will probably cause           .

A. higher ticket prices   B. lower ticket prices  C. higher cell phone fee   D. lower cell phone fee
