    There is an old saying：No one thinks he’s a bad driver. Here’s an updated 21st century version: No one thinks he sends annoying (令人烦恼的) e-mails.
    But, plenty of us do.
    A Princeton University research found that 22 per cent of Americans say e-mail has added to their work pressures and caused misunderstandings. Here’s a guide on e-mail etiquette (礼节) to help you avoid being annoying.
    Experts say there are three types of e-mails with different rules-close friends, office and public e-mails.
    The close friends e-mail
    You can send your lover, your closest friends and your siblings (brothers and sisters) anything, from jokes to “you got to see this!”. But bear in mind that not everyone shares your sense of humour and you may expose them to viruses.
    The office e-mail
    Don’t add to people’s workload. Keep e-mails short and to the point.
    ◆Make the subject line factual and brief.
    ◆Write in clear, concise (简练的) sentences.
    ◆Provide your name and phone number at the end.
    The public e-mail
    Occasionally we have to send an e-mail to a group of people. If possible, write your public e-mails with a who, what, when, where structure. For example:
    Who: All members of the soccer team
    What: Team photo
    When: Saturday, March 25, at noon
    Where: Playing field 2.
    Finally, before you hit “Send”, check the following:
    ◆Is the e-mail a “flame”? Never send an e-mail in anger, It could stay around forever and haunt (萦绕心头) your professional and personal life.
    ◆Check the “To” field. Is this really who you want to send the message to?
    ◆Spell-check the message. Does it have an error that can affect you badly?
    68. The writer may want to tell the reader that _____.
    A. mails online are often sent to wrong places
    B. different e-mails should be written in different ways
    C. sending office e-mails is sure to add to people’s workload
    D. the public e-mail is usually sent to a large number of people
    69. According to the writer, _____.
    A. e-mails with some misspellings may hurt the receiver
    B. before sending an e-mail, the sender should ask someone to check it
    C. jokes sent to a close friend online sometimes may be harmful
    D. about 80％ of Americans like sending and receiving e-mails
    70. If an e-mail is a “flame”, the sender of it must be very _____ at the moment.
    A. angry                         B. excited              C. worried                     D. disappointed

    A Beautiful Mind
        A mathematician who goes mad is not a subject most directors consider commercially attractive, but then Ran Howard isn’t among most directors. Despite an impressive list of credits, A Beautiful Mind is his most successful work to date, combining a psychological drama with a moving love story to produce a film that is as interesting as it is entertaining.
    The Oscar winning Russell Crowe has put himself in line for further honors with his acting John Nash, the Nobel Prize winning mathematician troubled by schizophrenia (精神分裂症). A Beautiful Mind pictures Nash as an unusual hero，not just because of his academic achievements but also because of the courage he displays while battling his illness．
    In 1947, Nash was one of many great young minds at Princeton. “To find a truly original idea is the only way to distinguish myself,” the proud and determined student declared. His exploration of such an idea afforded him little time for the normal socializing. His shyness and straight forward approach brought him few friends.
    After finally hitting on a revolutionary new idea, Nash’s career took off and his reputation as secured. He balanced research work with teaching, which is where he met the bright and beautiful student Alicia (played by Jennifer Connelly). Things in his life were going well when his talent for code breaking brought him to the attention of the military that employed him during the early stage of the cold war with Russia. However, the stress of his work made Nash’s illness develop．
    Crowe’s performance is perfect. He and Connelly ignite (make something exciting) the film’s passionate love story and Connelly’s wonderful performance makes the audience moved by Alicia, whose courage, strength and faith in her husband are the primary reasons for his recovery.
    【小题1】This passage is most probably ________．

    A．a book reviewB．a movie reviewC．a movie posterD．an advertisement
    【小题2】Which can replace the underlined phrase “hitting on” in the fourth paragraph?

    【小题3】 The following statements are true EXCEPT that _______．
    A．John Nash did not go mad totally
    B．Ran Howard is an outstanding director
    C．the stress of the academic work caused Nash’s illness
    D．Nash’s concentration on his work and his shyness brought him few friends
    【小题4】 We can infer from the text that _______．
    A．John Nash volunteered to serve in the army in spite of his illness
    B．John Nash gave up his career when troubled by schizophrenia
    C．Russell Crowe won another Oscar Award after this movie
    D．without Alicia, John Nash wouldn’t have recovered from his illness

    The $11 billion self-help industry is built on the idea that you should turn negative thoughts like “I never do anything right” into positive ones like “I can succeed.” But was positive thinking advocate Norman Vincent Peale right? Is there power in positive thinking?
    　　Researchers in Canada just published a study in the journal Psychological Science that says trying to get people to think more positively can actually have the opposite effect: it can simply highlight how unhappy they are.
    　　The study’s authors, Joanne Wood and John Lee of the University of Waterloo and Elaine Perunovic of the University of New Brunswick, begin by citing older research showing that when people get feedback which they believe is very positive, they actually feel worse, not better. If you tell your stupid friend that he has the potential of an Einstein, you’re just underlining his faults. In one 1990s experiment, a team including psychologist Joel Cooper of Princeton asked participants to write essays opposing funding for the disabled. When the essayists were later praised for their sympathy, they felt even worse about what they had written.
    　　In this experiment, Wood, Lee and Perunovic measured 68 students’ self-esteem. The participants were then asked to write down their thoughts and feelings for four minutes. Every 15 seconds, one group of students heard a bell. When it rang, they were supposed to tell themselves, “I am lovable.”
    　　Those with low self-esteem didn’t feel better after the forced self-affirmation. In fact, their moods turned significantly darker than those of members of the control group, who weren’t urged to think positive thoughts.
    　　The paper provides support for newer forms of psychotherapy (心理治疗) that urge people to accept their negative thoughts and feelings rather than fight them. In the fighting, we not only often fail but can make things worse. Meditation techniques, in contrast, can teach people to put their shortcomings into a larger, more realistic perspective. Call it the power of negative thinking.
    【小题1】What do we learn from the first paragraph about the self-help industry?

    A．It has produced positive results.
    B．It is a highly profitable industry.
    C．It is based on the concept of positive thinking.
    D．It was established by Norman Vincent Peale.
    【小题2】 What does the word “underline” mean (Line 4, Para. 3)?
    A．point outB．lay emphasis onC．pay no attention toD．take for granted
    【小题3】Which of the following is TRUE about the Canadian researchers’ study?
    A．Encouraging positive thinking many do more good than harm.
    B．Self-affirmation can bring a positive change to one’s mood.
    C．There can be no simple therapy for psychological problems.
    D．Forcing a person to think positive thoughts may lower their self-esteem.
    【小题4】What do we learn from the last paragraph?
    A．Meditation may prove to be a good form of psychotherapy.
    B．People can avoid making mistakes through meditation.
    C．Different people tend to have different ways of thinking.
    D．The effects of positive thinking vary from person to person.

    Started in 1636, Harvard University is the oldest of all the many colleges and universities in the United States. Yale, Princeton, Columbia and Dartmouth were opened soon after Harvard.
    In the early years, these schools were much alike. Only young men went to college. All the students studied the same subjects, and everyone learned Latin, Greek and Hebrew.
