Realisation will probably set in seconds after you've clicked "send".You freczc in horror and burn with shame. What to do?Here are four common email accidents,and how:to fecover. Clicking "send"too soon Don't waste your time trying to find out if thc receiver has read it yet.Write another email as swiftly as you can and send it with a brief title cxplaining that this is the correct version and the previous version should be ignored. Writing the wrong time n. The sooner you notice,the better.Respond quickly and briefly,apologising for your mistake.Keep the tone measured:don't handle it too lightly,as people can be offended,especially if your error suggests a misunderstanding of their cullure(i.e.incorrect ordering of Chinese names). Clicking“reply all”unintentionally You accidentally reveal()to the cntirc company what menu choices you would prefer at the staff Christmas dinner,or what holiday you'd like to take.In this instance,the best solution is to send a quick.light-hearted apology to explain your awkwardneas.But it can quickly rise to something worse, when everyone starts hitting "reply all"to join in a long and upleasant conversation.In this instance, step away from your keyboard to allow everyone to calm down. Sending an offensive message to its subject The most awkward email mistake is usually commilled in anger.You write an unkind message about someone,intending to send it to a fricnd,but accidcntally send it to the person you're discussing. In that case,ask to speak in person as soon as possible and say sorry.Explain your frustrations calmly and sensibly-see it as an opportunity to clear up any difficulties you may have with this person. 36.After realising an email accident,you are likely to feel A.curious B.tired C.awful D.funny 37.If you have written the wrong name in an cmuil,it is best to A.apologise in a serious manner B.tell the receiver to ignore the error C.leam to write the name correctly D.send a'short ndtice to everyone 38.What should you do when an unpleasant conversation is startcd by your"reply all"email?

Fifteen years ago,I took a summer vacation in Lecce in southern Italy.After climbing up a hill for a panoramic(view of the bluc sea,white buildings and green olive trees;I.paused to catch my breath and then positioned myself to take the best photo of this panorama. Unfortunately,just as I took out my camcra,a woman approached from behind,and planted herself right in front of my view.Like me,this woman was here to stop,sigh and appreciatc the view. Paticnt as I was.after about 15 minutes,my camera scanning the sun and revicwing the shot 1 would eventually take,I grew frustrated.Wus it lou much to ask her to move so I could take just one picture of the landscape?Sure,I could havc asked her,but something prevented me from doing so.She scemed so contcnt in her observation.I didn't want to mess with that. Another 15 minutes passed and I grew bored.The woman was still there.I decided to take the photo anyway.And now when I look at it,I think her presencc in the photo is what makes the image interesting.The landscupe,heautiful on its own,somchow comes to life and breathes because this woman is engaging with it. This photo,with the unique beauty thut unfolded bcfore me and that woman'who"ruincd"it,now hangs on a wall in my hedroom.What would she think if she knew that her figure is captured(and frozen on somc stranger's bcdroom wall?A bedroom.after all,is a very private space,in which some woman I don't even know has hecn immortalized(fli.kif).In some ways,she lives in my house. Perhaps we all live in each others'spaces.Pcrbaps this is what photos are for:to remind us that wo all appreciate beauty,that we all share a common desire for pleasure,for connection,for something that is greater than us. That photo is a reminder,a captured momenl,an unspoken conversation betwecn two women, scparated only by a thin squarc of glass. 41.What happened when the author was about to take a photo? A.Her camera stopped working. B.A woman blocked her view. C.Someone asked her to leave. D.A friend approacbed from behind. 42.According to the author,the woman was probably A.enjoying herself B.losing her patience C.waiting for the sunset D.thinking about her past 43.In the author's opinion,what makes the photo so alive? A.The rich color of the landscape. B.The perfect positioning of the camera. C.The woman's existence in the photo. D.The soft sunlight that summer day. 44.The photo on the bedroom wall enables the author to better understand A.the need to be close to nature B.the importance of privatc space C.the joy of the vacution in Italy D.the sharcd passion for beauty 45.The passage can be secn as the author's reflcctions upon A.a particular life expericnce B.the pleasure of traveling C.the art of photography D.a lost friendship C This month,Germany's transport minister,Alexander Dobrindt,proposed the first scl of rules for autonomous vehicles(自士驾驶东辆).They would define the driver's role in such cars and govern how such cars perform in crashes where lives might be lost. The proposal atlempts to deal with what some call the "dcath valley"of autonomous vehicles:the grey area between semi-autonomous and fully driverless cars that could delay the driverless future. Dobrindt wants three things:that a car always chooses property()damage over personal injury;that it never distinguishes between humans based on age or race;and that if a human removes his or her hands from the driving wheel-to check cmail,say-the car's maker is responsible if there is a crash. "The change to the road traffic law will permit fully automatic driving,"says Dobrindt.It will put fully driverless cars on an cqual legal footing to human drivers,he says. Who is responsible for the operation of such vehicles is not clear among car makers,consumers and lawyers.“The liability(法律货任)issue is the biggest one of them all,”says Natasha Merat at the University of Leeds,UK. An assumption behind UK insurance for drivcrless cars,introduced earlier this year,insists that a human "be watchful and monitoring the road"at every moment. But that is not what many people have in mind when thinking of driverless cars."When you say driverless cars',pcople expect driverless cars."Merat says."You know-no driver." Because of the confusion,Merat thinks some car makers will wait until vchicles can be fully automated without human operation. Driverless cars may end up being a form of public transport rather than vehicles you own,says Ryan Calo at Stanford University,California.That is happening in the UK and Singapore,where government-provided driverless vehicles are being launched. That would go down poorly in the US,however."The idca that the government would take over driverless cars and treat them as a public good would get absolutely nowhere herc,"says Calo. 46.What does the phrasc "death valley"in Paragraph 2 refer to? A.A place where cars often break down. B.A case where passing a law is impossible. C.An area where no driving is permittcd. D.A situation where drivers'role is not clear. 47.The proposal put forward by Dobrindt aims to A.stop pcople from breaking traffic rules B.help promote fully automatic driving C.protect drivers of all ages and races D.prevent scrious property damage 48.What do consumers think of the operation of driverless cars? A.It sbould get the attention of insurance companies. B.It should be the main concern of law makers. C.It should not cause deadly traffic accidents. D.It should involve no human responsibility. 49.Driverless vehicles in public transport see no bright future in A.Singapore B.the UK C.the US D.Germany 50.What could be the best title for the passage? A.Autonomous Driving:Whosc Liability? B.Fully Automatic Cars:A New Breakthrough C.Autonomous Vehicles:Driver Removed! D.Driverless Cars:Root of Road Accidents 0 I read somewhere that we spend a full third of our lives waiting.But where are we doing all of this waiting,and what docs it mean to an impatient society like ours?To understand the issue,let's take a look at threc types of"waits". The very purest form of waiting is the Watched-Pot Wait.It is without doubt the most annoying of all.Take filling up the kitchen sink()as an example.There is absolutely nothing you can do while this is going on but kecp both eyes fixed on the sink until it's full.During these waits,the brain slips away from the body and wanders about unuil the water runs over the cdge of the counter and onto your socks.This kind of wait makes the waiter helpless and mindless. A cousin to the Watched-Pot Wait is the Forced Wait.This one requircs a bit of discipline.Properly prcparing packaged noodle soup requires a Forced Wait.Directions are very specific."Bring three cups of wutcr to boil,add mix,simmer three minutes,remove from heat,let stand five minutes."I have my doubts that anyone has actually followed the procedures strictly.After all,Forced Waiting requires paticnce. Perhaps the most powerful typc of waiting is the Lucky-Break Wait.This type of wait is unusual in that it is for the most part voluntary.Unlike the Porced Wail,which is also voluntary,waiting for your lucky break does not necessarily mean that it will happen. Turning one's life into a waiting gamc requires faith and hopc,and is strictly for the optimists among us.On the surface it seems as ridiculous as following the dircctions on soup mixcs,but the Lucky-Break Wait well serves those who arc willing to do it.As long as one doesn't come to rely on it, wishing for a few good things to happen never hurts anybody. We certainly do spend a good deal of our timc waiting.The next time you're standing at the sink waiting for it to fill whilc cooking noodlc soup that you'll have to eat until a large bag of cash falls out of the sky,don't be desperate.You're probably just as busy as the ncxt guy. 51.While doing a Watched-Pot Wait,we tend to A.keep ourselves busy B.get absent-minded C.grow anxious D.stay focused 52.What is the difference betwecn the Forced Wait and the Watched-Pot Wait? A.The Forced Wait requires some self-control. B.The Forced Wait makes people passive. C.The Watched-Pot Wait nceds directions. D.The Watched-Pot Wait engages body and brain. 53.What can we leamn about the Lucky-Break Wait? A.It is less voluntary than the Forced Wait. B.It doesn't always bring the desired result. C.It is more fruitful than the Forced Wait. D.It doesn't give peoplc faith and hope. 54.What does the author advise us to do the next time we arc waiting? A.Take it seriously. B.Don't rely on others. C.Do something else. D.Don't lose heart. 55.The author supports his view by A.exploring various causes of"waits" B.dcscribing detailed processes of"waits" C.analyzing different catcgories of"waits" D.revealing frustrating consequcnces of"waits" 6
