| The sun was shining when I got on No. 151 bus. We passengers sat closely in heavy clothes. No one spoke. That's one of the unwritten rules. Although we see the same faces every day, we prefer to 1 behind our newspapers. People who sit so close together are using those newspapers to keep their distance (距离). As the bus came near the Mile, a voice suddenly rang out, "Attention! This is your driver 2 ." We 3 the back of the driver's head. "Put your papers down. All of you." The 4 came down. "Now, turn and face the person next to you. Go ahead." Surprisingly we all did it. Still no one smiled. I faced an older woman. her head wrapped (裹) in a red scarf. I saw her 5 every day. Our eyes met. We waited for the next order from the driver. "Now repeat after me. Good morning, neightbor!" Our voices were 6 . For many of us, these were the 7 words we had spoken that day. But we said them together, like 8 , to the strangers beside us. We couldn't help smiling. There was the 9 of relief (解脱). Moreover, there was the sense of ice being broken "Good morning, neighbor." It was not so 10 after all. Some of us repeated it, others shook hands, and many laughed. The bus driver said nothing more. He didn't 11 to. Not a single newspaper went back up. I heard laughter, a 12 sound I had never heard before in No. 151 bus. When I reached my stop, I said goodbye to my seatmate, and then jumped off the bus. That day I was starting off happily. |

The first person who'd sent emails was an American friend who was in a big company. Some years ago,
when this method of communication first came into business life, his company in New York and its satellites
across the earth were among the first to get it.
One evening in New York, the American friend was late for a drink we'd arranged (安排). "Sorry," he
said, "I've been away and had to deal with 998 emails." "Wow," I said, "I'm really surprised you made it before
midnight." "It doesn't really take that long," he explained, "if you simply delete (删除) them all."
The friend had developed his own way on dealing with emails before most of us heard of emails. If any
information he got was very important, his no reply would make the sender ring him up. If the sender wasn't
important enough to have his phone number, the communication couldn't be important enough.
Almost every week now, we have to spend lots of time in dealing with emails. But if this happens, it's only
because we haven't developed the same thing in dealing with emails as we do with post. Have you ever regarded
an important letter as a piece of advertisement and thrown it out? Of course you haven't. Junk (垃圾) email
looks unnecessary to read. But I cannot understand why so many people would like to open emails which come
from this kind of address such as SPECIALOFFER@junk.com.
Dealing with emails is an art. Firstly, you delete anything from any address you don't know. Secondly, not
all the emails have to be answered. Thirdly, a reply email doesn't have to be the same length as the original (原始
的).
