Creator of e-mail makes use of ‘@’ sign
Does your class use e-mail? Have you ever tried to write a story for our newspaper and send it in by e-mail? E-mail is used for everything, and it makes life easier. But do you know where e-mail came from?
The man who invented it was Ray Tomlinson, a US engineer. He died early last month at the age of 74.
Back in 1971, Tomlinson was working on something that could send messages from one computer to another. Tomlinson tried to find a way to separate users’ name from the names of their computers. He needed some kind of symbol (符號). However, it couldn’t be a popular one, and it couldn’t be one that computers might know in a different context (語境). It also needed to be on keyboard at the same time. The “@” sign was there, and pretty much no one used it. It was perfect.
“The ‘@’ sign made the most sense,” he told Wired in 2012. “It said where the user was…at.” For example, by writing “Alex at 21st Century Teens” you can send a message to somebody named Alex who works at 21st Century Teens. This was the early form of email.
The interesting thing is that Tomlinson didn’t remember what the very first test message he sent was. “Probably the first message was QWERTYUIOP or something like that,” Yahoo reported, guessing the first row of letters on the keyboard.
Tomlinson, the father of e-mail, changed the way the world communicates and more importantly saved the symbol “@”.
Today, the “@” symbol is finding new life outside of our inboxes (收件箱). Most famously, social media like Weibo and Wechat use it at the beginning of user names. So even if we don’t use e-mail some day, Tomlinson’s contribution (貢獻(xiàn)) will certainly live on.

Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?
The answer depends largely on cultural values as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green is a color that means the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims, it means heaven. Red stands for good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good luck in the New Year. For many nations, blue stands for protection. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves from bad people or bad things happening.
People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reactions (反應(yīng)) toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to cut down pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches.
Red can cause a person’s blood pressure (血壓) to rise and increase people’s appetites (食欲). Many designers will include different shades of red in restaurants. Similarly, some websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eyes.
Blue is another color which can make you feel peacefully. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.
The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.

閱讀理解。
When a computer works on a group of programs, it can get very hot. Cooling the computer can cost a lot. So some scientists wonder what would happen if the heat from the computer could be used.
Large Internet companies (公司) such as Google and Microsoft have thousands of computers. As these computers deal with information, they produce lots of heat, so they need huge cooling systems (系統(tǒng)). These systems send the heat into the air.
A company in Holland (荷蘭) thinks paying to make the computers work and then paying again to cool them are a waste of energy. So the company developed a special device—the e-Radiator.
Boaz Leupe, head of the company, says that e-Radiator works as a heating system and saves money. He explains that the energy is used twice—once to heat the home and once to cool the computer and that the users don’t have to pay to cool their computers.
Five homeowners in Holland are testing the heating system in their homes.
“We pay for the computer using, so, in that way, homeowners get heating for free,”Boaz says.
Jan Visser is one of the homeowners. “If you use the computer more, the e-Radiator producers more heat, ”he says, “It cannot provide enough heat if you don’t use your computer often.” But he is ready to try it. It’s a great help for his family.
The company says e-Radiators produce heat temperatures of up to 55℃. It says the system could save its users about $440 a year.
1.Before the e-Radiator appears, usually the heat of a computer ______.
A. is sent into the air B. helps the five homeowners
C. is used twice D. makes the computer work better
2.The e-radiator is mainly used _____.
A. to drive the computer B. to help Microsoft
C. to heat the computer D. to provide heat
3.The Chinese meaning of the word “device” in this passage is probably “____”.
A.節(jié)能 B. 實驗
C. 儀器 D. 開關(guān)
4.The best title of the passage may be “_____”.
A. An Environment Problem B. A New Way to Heat Homes
C. The Future Computers D. The Energy to Be Wasted
