1 . For most of the twentieth century, people communicated by telephone or by letter. This is now changing, and e-mail is becoming the preferred way of communication. It’s faster than traditional one.     1     As e-mail is becoming popular, here are some rules we need to know.

Be polite and friendly.

Start your message with a greeting (问候). If you are writing to a friend, you can begin with “Hi Sandra.” If you are writing to your teacher, begin your message with “Dear Mr. Atonso.”     2     Many people just type their names. Others say Bye, Cheers, or use abbreviations (省略语) like BFN (bye for now).

Look good

When someone receives an e-mail message from you, they might not know anything about you.     3     So make yourself look good. Type your message, and then read it again. Sometimes sentences seem clear when you write them, but they don’t make sense when you read them back.

    4    

If you start to use your e-mail several times a week, your message box will soon be filled with e-mails. After a few weeks, you can have a list of 60 or 70 messages. It is easy to delete the message you don’t want any more.     5     If you don’t know how to do that, just ask your friends for help. It only takes a few minutes to learn.

根据短文内容，将下面的句子还原到文中空白处，使短文内容完整、通顺。(选项中有一项是多余项)

A．If your messages are important, you can save them in folders (文件夹).

B．And it’s cheaper than a phone call.

6 . These days schools don’t allow students to bring mobile phones to schools. Many parents are worried. How can they connect with their kids? Well, smart watches may be the answer to their worries. Smart watches are like small computers. They usually tell time and count (计算)a person’s steps (步数). Most smart watches connect with smartphones and they let the users make calls, and send and receive messages. Often smart watches have microphones and speakers. Some even have cameras.

       Many parents buy smart watches for their children because they are too young to have a mobile phone. They are less worried because they can call their children at any time through smart watches. Also, many smart watches have GPS trackers (追踪器). These trackers allow parents to know where their children are, so they know if everything is OK.

But now some groups in Europe say many smart watches are not as safe as what we think. Some watches allow more than parents to track where the children are. They also allow anyone to send the children a message. People can also control the watches from far away to watch and listen to the children. To be safe, any time a smart watch makes a call or sends a message or GPS information—the information should be processed (数据处理) so no one else can get the information.
