Oh, they might have an account. They use it only as we would use a fax machine: as a means to communicate with old-school fol

10、ks like their parents or to fulfill the sign-up requirements of Web sites. They rarely check it, though. Todays instant electronic memossuch as texting and Facebook and Twitter messagesare more direct, more concentrated, more efficient. They go without the salutation （称呼语） and the signoff （签收）; we a

11、lready know the “to” and “from.” Many corporations are moving to messaging networks for exactly that reason: more signal, less noise and less time. This trend is further evidence that store-and-forward systems such as e-mail and voicemail are outdated. Instead of my leaving you a lengthy message tha

12、t you pick up later, I can now send you an easily-read message that you can readand respond toon the go.The coming of the mobile era is responsible for the decline of e-mail. Instant written messages bring great convince to people. They can deal with them at about any time: before a movie, in a taxi

13、, waiting for lunch. And because these messages are very brief, theyre suitable for smart phone typing. Does this mean e-mail is on its way to the dustbin of digital history? Not necessarily. E-mail still has certain advantages. On the other hand, tweets and texts feel ephemeralyou read them, then t

14、heyre gone, into an endless string, e-mail still feels like something you have and that you can file, search and return to later. Its easy to imagine that it will continue to feel more appropriate for formal communications: agreements, important new sand longer explanations.So, e-mail wont go away c

15、ompletely. Remember, weve been through a transition （过度） like this not so long ago: when e-mail was on the rise, people said that postal mail was dead. Thats not how it works. Postal mail found its smaller market, and so will e-mail. New technology rarely replaces old one completely; it just adds ne

19、the decline of e-mail. CTime talks. It speaks more plainly than words. Time communicates in many ways.Consider the different parts of the day, for example. The day when something is done can give a special meaning to the event. Factory managers in the United States fully realize the importance of an

20、 announcement made during the middle of the morning or afternoon that takes everyone away from his work.In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows

21、 that the matter is very urgent and requires immediate attention. It is the same with telephone calls made after 11:00pm. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he probably thinks it is a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.The meanings of tim

22、e differ in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstanding arises between people from cultures that treat time differently. In the United States, people tend to think of time as something fixed in nature, something from which one cannot escape. As a rule, Americans think of time as a road into

23、 the future, along which one progresses. The road has many sections, which are to be kept separate “one thing at a time”. Thus, an American may feel angry when he has made an appointment with someone and then finds a lot of other things happening at the same time.Americans look ahead and are concern

24、ed almost entirely with the future. The American idea of the future is limited, however. It is the foreseeable future and not the future of involving many centuries.Since time has much different meanings in different cultures, communication is often difficult. We will understand each other a little

25、better if we can keep this fact in mind.8.

B. the future that one looks forward toC. the future that will not be far awayD. the future toward which one makes progress 11.

28、A. they keep in mind that different cultures treat time differently B. they are concerned with the future C. they learn the way time communicates D. they know how to communicate with each otherD Produced by Hunan Satellite TV, Where Are We Going, Dad? invites five male celebrities from different fie

30、h week and 640 million downloads online. Even the China Daily, the official mouthpiece of the Chinese government praised its success, “The deep affection on display in the show is heart-warming.” But what accounts for the shows popularity? Part of the appeal is the chance to peek into the lives of p

31、opular Chinese celebrities and their children. Audiences are delighted to watch the failed attempts of celebrity dads making dinner, combing hair, and disciplining children. At the same time, the cute kids themselves and their authentic and entertaining behaviors are very impressive and attractive. “Another reason for the success of the show lies in the fact that it is a reexamination of the fathe
