It may seem like an ordinary    36    to an ordinary life, but there was something quite  37    about this woman. In the summer of 1995, McCarty gave$150,000, most of the money she had. saved throughout her life, to the University of Southey Mississippi in her hometown. The   38    was to help other African Americans   39  university. She had    40  school in the sixth grade to go to work, never married, never had children and never learned to drive because there was never any place in  41  she wanted to go. All she ever had was the work which she saw as a   42  . Too many other black people in the countryside of Mississippi did not have even that. She had started her savings habit as a young child when she would rectum from school to clean and iron   43  money which she would then save. When she retired, she decided that she wanted to use the money to give children of limited means the 44  to go to university.

Her bus had inched along through heavy miming traffic, making her a few minutes late for her very first job. She decided to start out half an hour earlier the next day. Once inside the lobby, she had to stand at the elevators and wait several minutes before she could get on one going to the sixth floor. When she finally reached the office marked "Smith Enterprises", she knocked at the door nervously and waited. There was no reply. She tapped on the door again, but still there was no answer. From inside the next office, she could hear the sound of voices, so she opened the door and went in. Although she was sure it was the same office she had been in two weeks before when she had the interview with Mr. Smith, it looked quite different now. In fact, hardly looked like an office at all. The employees were just standing around chatting and smoking. In the front of the room, somebody must have just told a good joke, she thought, because there was a loud burst of laughter as she came in. For a moment she had thought they were laughing at her. Then one of the men looked at his watch, clapped his hands and said something to the others. Quickly they all went to their desks and, in a matter of seconds, everyone was hard at work. No one paid any attention to Marie. Finally she went up to the man who was sitting at the desk nearest to the door and explained that this was her first day in the office. Hardly looking up from his work, he told her to have a seat and wait for Mr. Smith, who would arrive at any moment. then Marie realized that the day's work in the office began just before Mr. Smith arrived. Later she found out that he lived in Connecticut and came into Manhattan on the same train every morning, arriving in the office at 9:35, so that his staff knew exactly when to start working. 56.

Mr. Smith was not m the office C. nobody was doing any work     D. the office seemed different 57. The peopling the office suddenly started working because___.

The best title for this text would be___      . A. Punctual Like A Clock            B. A Cold Welcome C. An Unpunctual Manager              D. Better Late Than Never B When e-mail first came into general use about twenty years ago, there was a lot of talk about the arrival of the paperless office. However, it seems that e-mail has yet to revolutionize office communication. According to communications analyst Richard Metcalf, some offices have actually seen an increase in paper as a result of e-mail. "Information in the form of e-mal messages now floods our computer screens. These messages can be sent so quickly that memos（备忘录） tend to be distributed in the hundreds. For those secretaries whose bosses ask them to print out all their e-mails and leave them in their in-trays, this means using up a great deal of paper every month," Metcalf says. Metcalf has found that because some e-mails get lost in cyberspace, important documents are    increasingly likely to be asked by clients（客户）and colleagues to send all important documents both by e-mail and by fax or "snail mail" - through the post. This highlights a further potential problem with e-mail in today's offices - it is taking up time rather than saving it. "With e-mail, communication is much easier, but there is also more room for misunderstandings," says psychologist Dr David Lewis. Generally, much less care is taken with e-mails than with letters or faxes and the sender will probably print the document and reread it before putting it in an envelope or sending it by fax. More worrying is still the increasing misuse of e mail for sending "flame-mail" - abusive or inappropriate e-mail messages, Recent research in several companies suggests that aggressive communications like this are on the increase. E-mail has become the perfect medium for expressing workplace dissatisfaction because it is so instant.
