e-mail is a useful tool but many feel controlled by this new tool. the average business person is getting about 80 e-mails per day and many feel that about 80% of the messages in their “inbox” are of little or no value.so, i have four suggestions to help you to become better at “erasing 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 lists.2. “unlisted address”. just as you keep an “unlisted” telephone number that you share only with those whom you want to have direct access to, 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 continuously. 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 about 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 make sure im doing more important tasks in my day.56. if you get unwanted e-mails, the best you can do is to _. a. make a list of themb. put them into unwanted lists c. send them to a special addressd. ask to be deleted from different lists57. for the important communications, the writer suggests that you _. a. have a direct access for themb. have several e-mail servers for them c. get a separate e-mail address for them d. get an unlisted phone number for them58. to avoid being chained by the coming e-mails, what you can do is to _. a. respond urgent ones onlyb. reply to all of them at the same time c. handle them a couple of times dailyd. keep replying to e-mails all day long59. to deal with an e-mail you get, you can do the following except _. a. responding right away if its urgent b. downloading every e-mail before you reply c. scheduling it for later reply if it takes much time d. asking someone else to reply to it if its not at your convenienceb in britain and other countries, young people sometimes take a “gap year,” a year off between high school and college. this idea never gained a big following in america. recent news reports have suggested that interest may be growing, though there are no official numbers.charles deacon, dean of admissions at georgetown university in washington, d.c., estimates that in the current first-year class of 1,600 students, only about 25 decided to take a year off. he says this number hasnt changed much over the years.mr. deacon says the most common reason for taking a “gap year” is to have a chance to travel, but he says international students may take a “gap year” to meet requirements at home for military duty.some high school graduates see a year off as a chance to recover after twelve years of required education, but it can also give students a chance to explore their interests. students hoping to be doctors, for example, could learn about the profession by volunteering in a hospital.many colleges and universities support gap-year projects by permitting students to delay their admission. experts say students can grow emotionally and intellectually as they work at something they enjoy.the harvard admissions office has an essay on its web site called “time out or burn out for the next generation.” it praises the idea of taking time off to step back, think and enjoy gaining life experiences outside the pressure of studies. it also notes that students are sometimes admitted to harvard or other colleges partly because they did something unusual with that time.of course, a gap year is not for everyone. students might miss their friends who go on directly to college, and parents might worry that their children will decide not to go to college once they take time off. another concern is money. a year off, away from home, can be costly.holly bulls job is to specialize in helping students plan their gap year. she notes that several books have been written about this subject. she says these books along with media attention and the availability of information on the internet have increased interest in the idea of a year off, and she points out that many gap-year programs cost far less than a year of college. 60. what is the passage mainly about?a. if you want to go to an american university, take a gap year first.b. more and more american students are choosing to take a year off.c. it is likely that taking a “gap year” is becoming popular in america.d. americans hold different opinions towards students taking a “gap year”.61. how many reasons for students taking a “gap year” are mentioned in the passage? a. 2.b. 3.c. 4.d. 5.62. the essay “time out or burn out for the next generation.” suggests that _. a. every student must take a “gap year” before applying for a famous university b. some famous universities encourage students to gain more life experiencesc. taking a gap year can make students free from life learningd. the stress of studies does harm to the students health63. what can we learn from the passage?a. charles deacon doesnt support the idea of the students taking a “gap year”. b. books and media have contributed to the students interest in school learning.c. parents might disagree with the program, concerned about their childrens future.d. experts agree taking a year off will benefit the students emotionally and physically.c more surprising, perhaps, than the current difficulties of traditional marriage is the fact that marriage itself is alive and thriving (兴盛). as skolnick notes, americans are marrying peoplerelative to europeans, more of us marry and we marry at a younger age. moreover, after a decline in the early 1970s, the rate of marriage in the united states is now increasing. even the divorce rate needs to be taken in this pro-marriage context: some 80 percent of divorced individuals remarry. thus, marriage remains, by far, the preferred way of life for the vast majority of people in our society. what has changed more than marriage is the nuclear family. twenty-five years ago, the typical american family consisted of a husband, a wife and two or three children. now, there are many marriages in which couples have decided not to have any children. and there are many marriages where at least some of the children are from the wifes previous marriage, or the husbands, or both. sometimes these children spend all of their time with one parent from the former marriage; sometimes they are shared between the two former spouses. thus, one can find the very type of family arrangement. there are marriages without children; marriages with children from only the present marriage; marriages with “full time” children from the present marriage and “part-time” children from former marriages. there are stepfathers, stepmothers, half-brothers, and half-sisters. it is not all the unusual for a child to have four parents and eight grandparents! there are enormous changes from the traditional nuclear family. but even so, even in the midst of all this, one thing remains constant: most americans spend most of their adult lives married.64. by calling americans marrying people the author means that _. a. more of americans, as compared with europeans, prefer marriage and they accept it at a younger age b. americans expect more out of marriage than europeans c. there are more married couples in usa than in europe d. americans are more traditional than europeans65. which of the following can be presented as the picture of todays american families? a. a typical american family consists of only a husband and a wife. b. many types of family arrangements have become socially acceptable. c. americans prefer to have more kids than before. d. there are no nuclear families any more.66. even though great changes have taken place in the structure of american families _. a. the functions of marriage remain unchanged b. most americans prefer a second marriage c. the vast majority of americans still have faith in marriage d. marriage is still enjoyed by all americansdtrapped on the 37th
