A
Soon Tommy’s parents, who had recently separated, would arrive for a conference on his failing schoolwork and bad behavior. Neither parent knew that I had called the other.
Tommy, an only child, had always been happy, cooperative and an excellent student. How could I convince his father and mother that his recent failing grades represented a broken-hearted child’s reaction to his parents’ separation and pending divorce?
Tommy’s mother entered and took one of the chairs. Soon the father arrived. Good! At least they were enough to be here in time. They ignored each other.
As I gave a detailed account of Tommy’s behavior and schoolwork, I prayed for the right words to bring these two together to help them see what they were doing to their son. But somehow the words wouldn’t come. Perhaps if they saw one of his dirty, carelessly done papers?
I found a sheet in the back of his desk. Writing covered both sides: not the assignment, but a single sentence scribbled over and over.
Silently I gave it to Tommy’s mother. She read it and then handed it to her husband. Then his face softened.
At last he folded the paper carefully, placed it in his pocket, and reached for his wife’s hand. She wiped the tears from her eyes and smiled up at him. He helped with her coat and they left together.
In his own way God had given me the words to reunite that family. He had guided me to the sheet of yellow copy paper covered with the pain outpouring of a small boy’s troubled heart.
The words are “Dear Mom… Dear Daddy … I love you…”

When you are trying to recall an email, it’s better to be always polite. Here’s a checklist of things to consider before you send.
Is the email simple? If not, it could create confusion and waste time. Edit words and sentences until the message is as tight as you can make it without losing its meaning.
Is it effective? Correspondence, particularly for business, has to be right the first time, as you may not have another chance to connect with the recipient(接受者).
Is your email necessary? We all spend too much time asking others to do things that are essentially frivolous. Ask yourself what would happen if you didn’t send the email. If the answer is “nothing much,” then delete it.
Do you want something done? If your email requires action, make sure you follow it up. And don’t fall into the trap of forwarding something just to pass the buck. Ask yourself if you are moving things forward or just moving them off your own desktop.
Dos and Don’ts
Don’t use CAPITAL LETTERS —it’s equal to shouting.
Don’t send emotionally charged messages. If you wouldn’t say it to the recipient’s face, don’t send it.
Don’t email confidential(机密的) material. It could end up in the wrong hands. Send a letter instead.
Do be specific in the subject line. Your message could get deleted if it looks like spam(垃圾邮件).
Do answer at the top, not the bottom, of an email. It’s annoying having to roll down the bottom to read a response.
Do stick with black font(字体), no larger than 12 points in size. This is the easiest type to read.

36. A frivolous email is usually .
A. not simple B. unnecessary
C. ineffective D. too long
37. If your email is written in capital letters, it may mean .
A. you are angry with the recipient
B. you take the email as important
C. you expect an immediate reply
D. you joke with the recipient
38. If you want to inform someone of something secret, you had better .
A. tell the recipient face to face B. send an email to the recipient
C. write a letter and send it by mail D. store it in your own computer
39. If you don’t fill in the subject line specifically, your email .
A. will be difficult to read
B. will force the recipient to roll down the bottom to read
C. may be sent to other people mistakenly
D. may be removed as junk information
40. The passage mainly tells us .
A. some simple ways to enter an email address
B. some suggestions of writing an email
C. some advice on applying for an email
