1 . Stop Spam!

When I first got an e-mail account over ten years ago, I received communications only from family, friends, and colleagues. Now it seems that every time I check my e-mail, I have an endless series of advertisements and other correspondence that do not interest me at all.    1    and we need specific laws that make spamming (发送垃圾邮件) a crime.

    2    , the problem will certainly get much worse. Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of e-mails almost instantly.    3     so individual e-mail boxes are often flooded with spam e-mails. Would people continue to use e- mail if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?

This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well.    4    . Companies rely on e-mail for their employees to communicate with each other. Spam frequently causes failures in their local communication networks, and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively. Such a situation results in a loss of productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks.

For these reasons,    5    . Spammers should be fined, and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people. E-mail is a tool which helps people all over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destroying this convenience.

A．We want e-mail to continue to be useful

B．If people have to deal with an annoying spam

C．I believe that lawmakers need to legislate against spam

D．If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam

E．More and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products

F．Many spam e-mails contain computer viruses that can shut down the entire network of a company

G．These computer problems raise production costs of companies, which are passed on to the consumer

2 . Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, LinkedIn... . The ways to connect with of us on social media are limitless.       1       Here’s what not to do.

People are extremely particular when it comes to sharing pictures on social media. So, don’t post pictures of people without their permission. While you may not think posting the picture is a big deal, the other person may disagree.     2     It will help you avoid upsetting your loved ones.

Just got a new job? Bought a new car? You have got promoted? Or maybe you decided you’re moving? Don’t tweet or post your news to the world before sharing it with your loved ones. A love relationship largely depends on safety and security and the chance to get inside information is an important part of that.         3         

Social media is public.     4       It’s possible to accidentally hurt loved ones by oversharing. Every relationship is different, so talk to your loved ones before sharing anything you doubt may be borderline too much. Oversharing is one of several habits that destroy trust in relationships.

    5       If you’re upset and you have the urge to post something that may come off as mean, put down your phone, computer, or tablet and express your anger in another way. It is recommended that you use social media as a tool to spread positivity, such as birthday posts or meaningful articles.

A．Just ask before you do that.

B．Don’t view social media as only bad.

C．Never use social media when you’re mad.

D．These signs confirm that your relationship is rock solid.

E．You shouldn’t be sharing private information with the world.

F．In many ways, social media has made our world a better place.

G．However, don’t let your online life negatively affect your real life.

Different students hold different view on whether we should start a blog on the Internet. Some believe it can provide with a colorful stage for students to show their talents. Also, it’s nice way to help them relieving pressure. However, other have an opposite opinion over it. They thought managing a blog will take much time and energy. Personally, I do approve of students having their own blogs. Nowadays, the Internet is playing an important part to our life. As high school students, it’s necessary to learn and make the most of it. In fact, whether it’s good or bad depend on how we employ it. If we can take fully advantage of it but avoid its negative effects, we can surely benefit a lot from it.
