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).
B. Because he had to deal with quite a lot of emails.
C. Because he had to finish his work before midnight.
D. Because he had to delete quite a lot of emails.
B. He would only reply the emails whose sender had his phone number.
C. He would only reply the important emails.
D. He thought communication through the phone would be better than through the emails.
B. A reply email should be the same length as the original.
C. To find an important letter among the advertisements is easier than to find an important e-mail among the
junk emails.
D. Most of people would hardly open the emails from the address they don't know.
B. An American friend invented emails
C. Emails changed our life
D. How to deal with emails
