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?

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

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

    I like Mr Trout, his values and what he believed in   36   a teacher. He wanted us to really   __37   what we were doing. I respected that, but all the numbers were still so   38   to me. I studied endless hours, and it   39   at first, until the algebra(代数)was over. That was   40   I learned how to ask for help on something as silly as   41   problems.

It was amazing. I began to understand math. I did example   49   with him, worked them out several times until I understood the process. I didn’t feel   50  asking questions because it was helping.

    Asking for help was not what I thought it would be.    51   , it was a very good thing. I actually felt smarter for it, and it was a really satisfying   52  .

Eat your vegetables. Wash your hands. Always say “please" and“thank you". We are full of advice for our children, but when it comes to money, we often have little to say. As a result, our children may grow up with clean hands and good manners, but without any idea how to manage their money.

Here are some basics that will help guide them their entire lives:

Show them the future. If your 13-year-old girl were to save$1,000,invest(投资)it at 8%and add$100 every month,by the time she's 65,she would have$980,983!

Be careful of credit(信用).Credit cards can help you buy necessary things and build a credit history,but they must be used responsibly, which means paying off your debt in time. Explain to your children that when you buy something using a credit card,you can easily end up paying two or three times what you would have paid if you used cash.

Teach patience. Suppose your child wants a new bicycle that costs $150. Rather than paying the cash,give him some regular pocket money and explain that by putting aside,say $15 each week,he will be able to buy it for himself in only ten weeks.

Provide incentive. Tell your children the importance of saving.“For every dollar he or she agrees to save and invest rather than spend, you agree to add another dollar to the pot,”says Cathy Pareto, expert in money planning.

Explain your values. Values and money are deeply intertwined, says Eilleen Gallo, co-author of The Financially Intelligent Parent. When your child demands that you buy something, explain why you really don’t want to buy it.“You might say,‘I'd rather save that money for your education,”,advises Gallo. Every time you spend or don't spend money,you have a chance to share your values.

64. The underlined word“incentive" in paragraph 6 means _____.

A. honor          B. praise          C. excitement      D. encouragement

65. What leads the writer to write this article?

A. Parents want to know how to educate their children.

B. He wants to share his good ideas about money matters.

C. He thinks money management the most important for children.

D. Parents care little about their children's management of money.

66. The writer gives some basics to help __________ in a proper way.

A. parents teach their children how to deal with money 

B. children follow their parents' instructions

C. children manage their money                   

D. parents save their money
