27 Unit 26部分译文 Activity 2 移动电话拯救生命 移动电话已经改变了许多人的生活。下面两个人谈了他们可怕的故事。 保罗
　　 移动电话已经改变了许多人的生活。下面两个人谈了他们可怕的故事。 保罗 　　 去年我独自一人沿着澳大利亚西部旅行。有一天我出发去爬一座高峰。尽管在夏季那儿有许多游客，我到那儿时已过了旅游旺季，所以没有什么旅行团。当我到达山顶后不久，天开始下起毛毛雨，并开始起雾。很快，雾太大了，我连路都认不出来了。不管在哪儿我随身总带着电话，因为你不可能知道自己什么时候会用到它。最后我打电话给了爸爸，他当时在9，000里外的美国。他告诉我给当地救援热线打电话。但是我感到自己太笨了，我不愿意打那个电话。庆幸的是，爸爸意识到这一点，所以他决定自己打这个电话。救援者将电话打到了我的手机上以确定我的确切方位。但不幸的是电话在五秒钟后没电了。我躺在一块大岩石下等待着—几乎快到晚上了，我全身又冷又潮。当救援人员准备放弃夜间的搜寻时，他们找到了我。多亏有一位救援人员说：“我们再找5分钟吧。”如果他们放弃，我可能已经死了。 戴夫

28 1998年三月我作为记者参与了科索沃战争。意味摄影师和我听说在一个村子里有战斗，所以我们决定去那儿调查一下。尽管有来自狙击手的威胁我们仍爬了山。我们知道如果不能到达离村子较近的地方是不可能拍到好的图片的。事实上，我们拍到了一些很好的图片，但当我们返回时却处于非常危险的境地。我们正沿着山侧的一条小路奔跑，这时突然有人向我们开枪了。我觉得有东西碰了我一下，但并不觉得疼。当我们最达基地后我想最好给妻子打个电话，让她知道我一切平安。我伸手去取手机，发现一颗子弹已经穿透钱包，嵌在了手机里。我觉得太庆幸了，因而哭了起来。如果没有手机，那一枪可能已经要了我的命。

29 Activity 5 Part A 　　 我去朋友的家吃晚饭，很晚才离开。开车时，我意识到忘带手机了，所以决定回去取。在回家的路上，我看见了一场事故。我走到车边，司机受了伤，我没法将她从车里拉出来。我按手机里存的急救电话要了一辆救护车。救护车很快就来了，将司机送到了医院。那名司机快要死了，但多亏她被迅速送往医院，医生才得以将她救活。

30 Activity 11 写电子邮件的规矩 　　 你喜欢电子邮件还是讨厌它呢？不管你感觉如何，它已经存在。下面是一些提高电子邮件写作技巧的方法和建议。 　　 首先，以问候语开头，并以看似老套的结束语结尾。这样可以避免因显得粗鲁而冒犯他人。可以不用“亲爱的先生或女士”和“你忠诚的”这样的套话，但还是要说“你好”或“亲爱的（加上姓氏）”，然后以“真诚的问候”（用于较正式的关系）结尾，如果是朋友可以用“再见”或“再会”。在办公室或与熟悉或经常通信的人写信，可以用他们的名字直接开头。

31 收到和自己不直接相关的电子邮件是件恼人的事情。建立广泛的群发邮件名单并不能保证可以及时收到信息。据估计，40%的电子邮件由于使用了不相关的或无意义的主题行而被迅速地删除。所以应准确地确定自己的群发邮件名单并经常更新这一名单。如果不这样做，你的信息也许不会传达到你希望到达的人那儿，因为人们会在没有阅读信件前就已经将它自动删除掉。如果你的联系人习惯删除来自你的不相关的邮件，他们也可能自动删除任何相关的邮件。 　　 电子邮件很快捷，也很随便，通常用来传达简单的信息。如果你要传达重要的文件或信件，应用附件形式发送并采用常用的正式行文惯例。收信人可以下载附件，将它保存或打印出来仔细参考。

32 最后，记住用收信人不明白的首字母组合词和表情符号是让人恼怒的。全球最大的互连网服务供应商美国在线列举了181种常用首字母组合词和60种常用表情符号。尽量用你确信收信人能够理解的首字母组合词和常用表情符号。
