D. The cliff is too high. C Elizabeth Blackwell was born in England in 1821, and moved to New York City when she was ten years old. One day she decided that she wanted to become a doctor. That was nearly impossible for a woman in the middle of the nineteenth century. After writing many letters asking for admission(录取) to medical schools, she was finally accepted by a doctor in Philadelphia. She was so determined that she taught school and gave music lessons to get money for the cost of schooling. In 1849, after graduation from medical school. she decided to further her education in Paris. She wanted to be a surgeon(外科医师) , but a serious eye problem forced her to give up the idea. Upon returning to the United States, she found it difficult to start her own practice because she was a woman.

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. (责任编辑：admin) |
