7.It’s interesting that technology often works as a servant for us, yet frequently we become a servant to it. E?mail is a useful tool but many feel controlled by this new vehicle. The averagebusinessperson is getting about 80 e?mails per day and many feel that about 80% of the messages in their “In Box” are of little or no value.So, I have four suggestions to help you to become better at “Easing E?mail”.1.Get off the lists. The best way to deal with a problem is to never have it. If you are receiving a lot of unwanted e?mails, ask to be removed from the various lists. This would include your inclusion in unwanted “cc” lists(抄送名单).2.“Unlisted address”.Just like getting an “unlisted” telephone number that you share only with those whom you want to give direct access, you might want to get a separate e?mail address only for the important communications you wish to receive.3.Check it once or twice per day.Many I speak with are becoming chained to their email server, monitoring incoming email on a continuous basis. Maybe this is because e?mail creates its own sense of urgency, but most of the communications are not all that urgent. I respond to them a couple of times per day.4.Deal with it. As you open each e?mail do one of the following:a.If it requires a quick response, respond to it and delete it.b.If it requires a response but is not the best use of your time, try to find someone else to do it.c.If it is going to take any serious amount of time to respond, schedule it for action in your Day Planner and then download the message, save it, or print it out for future action.I personally receive approximately 250 e?mails per day and by practicing the suggestions above, I can handle that volume in about an hour, taking advantage of this fantastic tool but not being controlled by it to the distraction(分心)of more important tasks in my day.The passage is about .

12.The first European stock exchange was established in Antwerp, Belgium(比利时), in 1531.There were no stock exchanges in England until the 1700’s. A man wishing to buy or sell shares of stock had to find a broker(agents) to transact his business for him. In London, he usually went to a coffee house, because brokers often gathered there. In 1773, the brokers of London formed a stock exchange.　　In New York City, brokers met under an old button wood tree on Wall Street. They organized the New York Stock Exchange in 1792.The American Stock Exchange, the second largest in the United States, was formerly called the Curb Exchange because of its origin on the streets of New York City.　　A stock exchange is a market place where member brokers buy and sell stocks and bonds(债券) of American and foreign businesses on behalf of the public. A stock exchange provides a market place for stocks and bonds in the same way a board of trade does for commodities. The stockbrokers receive a small commission on each transaction they make.　　The stockholder may sell his stock wherever he wants to unless the corporation has some special rule to prevent it. Prices of stock change according to general business conditions and the earnings and future prospects(前景) of the company.

14.One of the most interesting experiments in electronic communication I’ve ever seen is coming from Wave. It’s real-time e-mail,What that means is that as you’re typing a message in Wave,either a new massage or a reply ,the person you are writing to can see what you’re typing as you type it .Sounds awful, right?You don’t have to use W ave in this real-time way . It also works as a standard e-mail. What’s really different about Wave is that if you’re replying to a massage and the person you’re replying to happen to be online,they can jump into the conversation at that point, and change what is an email conversation into an instant message conversation or a chat.Wave right now is still closed to most users . And Wave isn’t yet connected to other communication systems,like regular e-mail , which means that the only people we can Wave with are other people on waves as well. So we don’t yet know what using Wave will be like once it gets crowded like e-mail . Also,the technology behind Wave is far more demanding on servers and the Internet itselfthan regular e-mail or chat,so we don’t know if the technology will work at scale .But Wave really is a current re-think of e-mail . A lot of people won’t like it . A lot of people didn’t like e-mail either when it first showed up .but people will find real uses for Wave or whatever it becomes, and it’s one of the most interesting new takes on communication . Even if you don’t like it, it will make you think differently about e-mail.What is special about Wave?

Passage One

A man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspapers.

―Last week, ‖ he said, my umbrella was stolen from a London church. As it was a present, I spent twice its worth in advertising, but didn ’t get it back.

―How did you write your advertisement? asked one of the listeners, a merchant.

―Here it is, said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper, The other man took it and read,

―Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening, a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No. 10 Broad Street.

―Now, ‖said the merchant, ―Ioften advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is of extreme importance. Let us try for your umbrella again, and if it fails, I ’ll buy you a new one. The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote:

―If the man who was seen to take an umbrella from the City Church last Sunday evening does n’t wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No.10 Broad Street. He is well known. This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when the opened the front door.

Many of them had notes fastened to them saying that they hand been taken by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.Why did the merchant say ―I often advertise and find that it pays me well ‖?

19.Claude-Oscar Monet ( 1840 -- 1926 ) was a French artist and a leading member of the Impressionist group of painters. Born in Paris, Monet spent his childhood in Le Havre. There he met a local artist, Eugene Boudin. Who encouraged him to become a landscape painter.In 1859, Monet went to Paris to study at theAcademie Suisse. Between 1860 and 1862, Monet served in the army in Algeria ( 阿尔及利亚 ).He returned to Paris where he met most of the major artists of the era. In 1870, Monet marriedCamille Doncieux. To escape the Franco-Prnssian war,they moved to London Back toFrance, they settled at Argenteuil, a boating centre on the Seine (塞纳河 ) which drew many other Impressionist painters. Working from nature was a particular symbol of the Impressionist movement, and one that Monet valued, reflecting in his paintings the ever-changing impact of light and weather conditions.In 1872,he visited Le Havre where he painted "An Impression,Sunrise". When exhibited in 1874, part of its title was used by a critic to label the whole movement "Impressionism".Monet's wife died in 1879,and he set up home with Alice Hoschede, the wife of one of his most important sponsors. During the 1880s, Monet traveled through France painting a variety of landscapes. He gradually became better known and for the last 30 years of his life he was regarded as the greatest of the Impressionists.From 1890 he began to paint a series (系列 ) ofpictures of one subject, including "Haystacks" "Rouen Cathedral" and "Waterlilies". The latter were painted in the fine garden Monet created at his house at Giverny, where he lived from 1883 on. He painted them over and over again,most significantly in a series especially for a museum in Paris.Monet was introduced to art

20.It is still sometimes difficult to understand why those between ages 10 and 18 would endangertheir lives by joining armed forces or rebel groups and become fighting soldiers. The recentlypublished book, Young Soldiers, Why They Choose to Fight by Rachel Brett and Irma Specht, triesto find an answer.There is no doubt that children fight in most armed conflicts today. While international attentionfocuses largely on those who are forced into battles, thousands more enlist(应征入伍) voluntarily.In an attempt to understand the young who take up arms, Brett and Specht interviewed 53 boyand girl soldiers and ex-soldiers from around the world, Afghanistan, Colombia, the Republic of theCongo for example. All interviewees were involved with armed groups before the age of 18 and allclassified themselves as volunteers.What these two field officers heard is “I joined involuntarily—if you have nothing, you volunteerfor the army”. Other reasons young people gave are self—defense, revenge, poverty, andunemploy-ment.But while it is common knowledge that most child soldiers come from poor and disadvantagedbackgrounds, Young Soldiers shows that the issue is far more complex. Many poor child do not jointhe army. The environmental, educational, social, cultural, and highly personal factors determinewhether someone decides to join up or not.The battlefield is not a place children. One young soldier described being there as “too sad anexperience”. The authors hope that by understanding why teenagers join up, those child soldiersshould know how to discourage others from the same tragedy.The reasons shown in Young Soldiers for children to join the army are ( )
