Imagine you receive an e-mail that looks something like this: ARE YOU GOING TO CLASS TODAY? How does reading this message make you feel? Was he or she angry or did that person just forget to turn off the ‘Caps Lock’ on the computer? The fact is that this e-mail “sounds” like the writer is shouting because using all capital letters in an e-mail is usually the way that people shout online. Knowing when to and when not to use capital letters is just one example of online etiquette(规矩)often called netiquette.1. Following are some of her suggestions.

First always remember that you are sending messages to a real person not just to a computer. Don’t type anything that you wouldn’t say to someone’s face. 2. So make sure your meaning is clear.

Don’t do anything online that you wouldn’t do in real life. Don’t take anything without paying for it unless it's free. Don’t read other people’s e-mail—you wouldn’t you’re your next-door neighbor’s mailbox and open their mail right? And do share your knowledge of the Internet with others.3.

4. Good writing skills as well as correct grammar and spelling do matter. Send polite well-written e-mail messages to others. If you’re uncertain about how to spell a word or which phrase to use, look it up. There are lots of helpful books and websites.

It’s okay to express your opinions online in forums like chat rooms or message boards for example “MSN” or “QQ” but don’t start arguments with people. 5. But they are often unfair to other members of the group. Express your ideas but remember that fighting on or offline is just not right.

A. Remember you’re not the only one online.

B. “Flame wars” in online discussion can be interesting to read.

C. Try to respect others, such as their space, privacy, and feelings.

D. It’s a big place with lots of information and there fire many new things to discover.

E. Remember that people judge you by your words and your actions, so do try to write well.

F. Also remember that he cannot hear the tone of your voice or see the expressive on your face.

Do you ever find yourself spending time on product reviews when you buy something online, only to find that the product you bought is junk(废物)? New research led by Dr. Powell of Stanford University may explain why this happens: it boils down to the number of reviews a product has.

The study found that when choosing between two products online, people tend to favor the one with more reviews despite the fact that the more reviewed product is of lower quality. This is because when shopping online, consumers engage(从事)in a type of “social learning”, where they learn from observing the decisions of other people and the results of those decisions. People attach more importance to the choices of others. When evaluating online products, the item’s rating and number of reviews can be helpful to an unsure customer. But a new study, published in the journal Psychological Science, found that consumers don’t check those figures to learn their true meaning enough. So they fail to do a simple task when viewing online rating and reviews, leading them to purchase products of poor quality. When shopping online, consumers engaging in social learning become informed from the decisions of others. For example, you’re more likely to buy a book at the top of the New York Times’ best-sellers list or buy an app that’s been downloaded millions of times. But looking at other people’s choices is only a part of social learning. However, how people understand or fail to understand this data is affecting their decision-making in a negative way. Overcoming this bias(偏见)is difficult because consumers find comfort in popularity.

Powell and his colleagues also found evidence of this trend beyond the study. “It doesn’t necessarily mean that better things don’t become more popular, but as a consumer, when you’re looking at the number of reviews, it’s not telling you anything,” said Dr. Powell.

1.What does the underlined phrase “boils down to” probably mean?

A. is equal to B. results in C. is due to D. focuses on

2.What belief do unsure consumers hold when purchasing products?

A. Rating determines quality. B. Popularity is good.

C. Bad　 reviews should be ignored. D. More-reviewed products is poor.

3.What do Dr. Powell’s words mean in the last paragraph?

A. The product’s rating often fails to reflect true quality.

B. Usually consumers will find much comfort in popularity.

C. Consumers should distinguish good things and bad things.

D. Consumers should follow others when buying things online.

4.What is probably the best title of the text?

A. How to Purchase Online B. Why We Buy Junk Online

C. Why We Ignore Bad Reviews D. How to Review a Product
