3．How to manage your email inbox（收件箱）
（16）CWe love it and we hate it．We need it and we want it，but too often the price we pay is that．As certain as the sun will rise，our inboxes will be full by mid-morning．
Honestly，we've done it to ourselves．We depend too much on it to communicate and as a result，have made ourselves pay attention to every one of them．This is terrible．（17）EEvery time an e-mail interrupts you，it costs time，money，and brainpower．
Here are some of my best tips to manage emails：
（18）BYou can't get into work if you check emails every ten minutes．Instead，you should set certain times to check your inbox，like the top of every hour or every 90minutes．Set a timer on your phone and stick to it．
Scan your inbox．（19）D At the same time，delete everything that is unnecessary and answer timely requests first．
（20）F Instead of creating an email，try speaking with the person you want to communicate with．Often，a five-minute conversation on the line is much better than an email．

A．Email is becoming more and more important in our lives．
B．Set a schedule．
C．Email is our friend and the enemy．
D．Looking through the emails quickly can save your time．
E．Because email can interrupt our work and life．
F．Use a phone．
G．Talk to the person．

2．It seems hard to watch someone yawn（打哈欠） and not to yawn ourselves．Even reading about yawning can make you do it．Now，a new study has found why yawning has such a powerful force．Yawning when others yawn，the study suggests，is a form of social connection．Kids don't develop this behavior until around age four，the study found．Autistic（患自闭症的）children are less likely to catch yawns．In the most serious cases，they never do．Yawning might help doctors to see whether the children are developing rightly．The work could also lead to a better understanding of the ways that people communicate and connect．
"Emotional（情绪的） effect seems to be a born thing that connects us together，"said Molly Helt，a graduate student at the University of Connecticut．"Yawning may be part of that．"Inspiration for her study came when she tried to get her own autistic son to clear his ears on an airplane．She repeatedly yawned at him，hoping he would yawn back．He never did．
"The fact that autistic kids don't do it might mean they're really missing out on that emotional connection with people around them，"she said．"The biggest thing people try to figure out after birth is how we become humans and understand that humans have minds that are different from others'，"she added．"Autistic people never seem to understand that．"
Like infectious （有感染力的）laughter and crying，scientists have found that yawning is a shared experience that improves social connection．Helt said it could fight stress after a period of being nervous and spread a feeling of calm through a group．

1．Back in the early 1990s，I knew little about computers．But what I did know was that something huge was happening．It was changing imaginations and possibilities like nothing I had ever known．And I knew I had dreams that hadn't come true．But I didn't know how to realize them until I met with my old friend，Rolly Rouse，when we happened to move into the same neighborhood．
Rolly often called me with a lot of ideas．We talked about the Internet and about starting a new online company together．
He was then developing a plan and he wanted me to be a part of it：we would give people wonderful electronic houses on a CD-ROM and let them modify（改变） those houses to their own needs．When they were satisfied，we would enable them to go online to make the project happen，and to get the products
Building Blocks was the name Rolly came up with for the new company．Rolly simply gave up his business to commit himself full time to Building Blocks．I soon joined him after I quit my well paid job at a newspaper．
Together we developed a demo to show the features of our CD-ROM，"The New American Dream Home"．Then we took it to the annual convention of the National Association of Home Builders in Boston．To our satisfaction，nearly everyone expected to see what we were showing，including the top companies．When we left，we had invitations to tell them more about Building Blocks．That was the start of my real lifetime dream and Building Blocks，our company，has been on a road to success ever since．
