E-mail is one of the biggest threats(威胁)to your home computer.By understanding how E-mail works, and by taking some steps in how you deal with reading and writing messages, you can keep this threat out of your computer.When you exchange E-mail with someone else, the messages sent between you and that person pass through several computers before they reach their places.Imagine this conversation as it is taking place in an Internet“room”, a very, very big room.Anyone, or more exactly, any program can probably understand what is being said, because most Internet conversations are not hidden(隐藏)in any way.As a result, others may be listening in, capturing what you send, and using it for their own good.
E-mail-borne viruses(病毒)often arrive in attractive, fantastic appearances, much like the beautiful ads we receive by way of traditional mail that is made to sell us something.By beautiful appearances, an infected(感染)E-mail message seems to be something we want to read from someone we know, not a mean virus ready to destroy or damage our computers.
There are some steps that you can take to help you decide what to do with every E-mail message with an attachment(附件)that you receive.You should only read a message that passes all of these tests:
1)The Know Test:Is the E-mail from someone that you know?
2)The Received Test:Have you received E-mail from this sender before?
3)The Expect Test:Were you waiting for E-mail with an attachment from this sender?
4)The Meaning Test:Do the topic line of the E-mail massage and the name of the attachment both have meanings?
5)The Virus Test:Is the E-mail infected?

I went to school in China for four years and for another six years in Canada.There are two teachers from these countries that really impressed(给予某人深刻印象)me even though they are very 1 .
When I moved to Canada, I couldn’t even 2 food on the flight.After two months on an ESL(English as a Second Language)course, I got my first 3 card.My mark in English was 65.I was very upset.I couldn’t 4 what would be said at the parent-teacher interview.
“Hello!” Mrs Franceschini welcomed my parents.“Richard just came to Canada a few months ago.I am amazed at how his English has 5 so fast,” she said.“On his first day, he was very shy and only used simple words.Now he can answer and ask questions using whole sentences.”
6 many other Chinese parents, my mom asked if she could give me 7 homework.“Don’t worry.Richard is already working very hard,” Mrs Franceschini laughed.Then she shook my hand.“Richard, you did a good job.I am 8 of you!” she said.
Back in Shanghai, my teacher Miss Li was very 9 .In a test, my average(平均分)was 97, top of the class.I was proud to take parents to the 10 .
Miss Li told my parents:“Feng Yu is doing pretty well.But because of his 11 he lost 3 points in math. 12 , he would be the top of the school.”
I thought she was being 13 to me.But when I was about to leave, I realized Miss Li was very nice.She hosted a party for me and gave me a big card.Her phone number and e-mail address were on the card.“Feng Yu, you are my best student.I 14 you a successful life,” she wrote.“If you want to talk or need any help, I am always here for you.”
Miss Li and Mrs Franceschini are both great teachers, just in different ways.One built up my learning abilities. 15 gave me tons of confidence and made learning enjoyable.I’m proud to have had them as my teachers.
