are some tips and ideas for improving your email writing First starting with a greeting and ending with a closure may seem old fashioned but it avoids upsetting people by appearing rude It needn t be Dear Sir or Madam and Yours faithfully but just say Hi or Hello or Dear and a first name then close with Regards for more formal contacts and Cheers or Bye for friends In offices and with people you know well and email frequently you can just begin with their first name Getting emails that are not directly relevant to you is very irritating Having wide mailing group lists doesn t necessarily keep people informed It is estimated that 40 of all emails are deleted immediately because they have an irrelevant or frivolous subject line Try to organize your mailing groups accurately and keep updating your mailing lists regularly If you don t do this your messages may not get through to the people you want to send them to because they delete them automatically without reading them If your contact is used to deleting irrelevant emails from you they may also delete any relevant ones automatically Emails are usually quick and casual they should convey a simple message If you need to send important documents or letters always send them as an attachment and use all the normal formal writing conventions The receiver can then download the attachment and save it or print it out for careful reference Finally using acronyms and smiley that your reader doesn t understand is very frustrating America Online AOL the biggest internet service provider list 181 common acronyms and 60 common smiley Try to use ones that you are sure your reader will understand 第四部分 阅读理解第四部分 阅读理解 单选 单选 短文理解短文理解 1 Blocks of high rise flats have been built in large numbers in London and in many other big cities Just after the Second World War these big twenty to thirty storey buildings hundreds of feet in height were thought to be the ideal solution to the housing problem For on the one hand there was severe housing shortage but on the other hand there was lack of space to build houses in urban areas Blocks of high rise flats seemed at first to be able to solve the problem since they can offer space for more families to live in on less land The beautiful modern apartments in the high rises were much sought after by people who lived downtown Hundreds of the vast blocks had been built before anyone began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not Are they suitable places for people children especially to live in A well known British architect who personally designed many of these buildings now believes that the high rises may well make those people who have been housed in them suffer a great deal Evidence has been collected by social workers which suggests that people do suffer They complain about severe loneliness and deep depression living within these great towers People also talk about lack of communication with others no easy access to a playground for children no chances for adults to get familiarized with each other Many people say that they have lived next door to each other for years in the same building but they never know who their neighbors are Some experts say that a large number of people living in the high rises suffer from mental disorder and have even developed criminal tendencies As a result of these new discoveries plans for new high rise blocks are being reconsidered We are now building up many high rises in big cities such as Beijing Shanghai and Guangzhou Perhaps we should also reconsider the idea too 1 There was a big housing problem after the Second World War C in many big cities 3 2 Blocks of high rise flats were thought to be the ideal solution to the housing problem because D they were built on less land and were able to house a lot more people 3 The sentence Hundreds of the vast blocks had been built before anyone began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not means it was not until hundreds of the vast blocks had been built people began to doubt about whether they were good solutions or not 4 The author takes a well known British architect as an example to show us that B even a well known designer of the high rises believes they are no good for people 5 What is the greatest danger for people living in a high rise according to some experts C Developing criminal tendencies 短文理解短文理解 2
