We cannot use one word as subject in e-mail writing.（）

I’ve been writing for most of my life. The book Writing Without Teachers introduced me to one distinction and one practice that has helped my writing processes tremendously. The distinction is between the creative mind and the critical mind. While you need to employ both to get to a finished result, they cannot work in parallel no matter how much we might like to think so.

Trying to criticize writing on the fly is possibly the single greatest barrier to writing that most of us encounter. If you are listening to that 5th grade English teacher correct your grammar while you are trying to capture a fleeting (稍纵即逝的) thought, the thought will die. If you capture the fleeting thought and simply share it with the world in raw form, no one is likely to understand. You must learn to create first and then criticize if you want to make writing the tool for thinking that it is.

When the author says the creative mind and the critical mind “cannot work in parallel” (Line 4, Para. 1) in the writing process, he means ________.

A) no one can be both creative and critical

B) they cannot be regarded as equally important

C) they are in constant conflict with each other

D) one cannot use them at the same time（D）

A.separation

B.omission

C.abbreviation

D.Extension

le, who was a consultant for the FBI, and had a major motion picture about his life called Catch Me If You Can, said "Identity theft is one of the fastest growing crimes in the United States". People use skimmers and other electronic devices to steal credit card numbers, and your personal information. With new advancements in technology, like the internet, it has become even easier to steal someone's personal information. The internet has underground websites that sell thousands of credit card numbers and their pin numbers for very little money. Linda Foley, of the Identity Theft Resource Center in San Diego, says "You cannot protect a person from identity theft. It is impossible. All we can do is minimize our risk." There are many things that we can do to minimize the risk of identity theft. You should shred all documents with any personal, credit card, or banking information on them. Also people should be very careful how they use social media, like Facebook or Twitter. Whatever you put out there might be used against you somehow later. We need to set up a better way to catch these criminals who are destroying innocent lives. There needs to be some kind of global agency working together to stop these people before they can do too much damage. What we do not want to do is outsource the job of catching these people, because there is a lot of money involved. These identity thieves can make huge amounts of money with very little effort, so corruption could be a major concern. We would also need a huge amount of accountants who understand how these fraudsters operate. Identity theft is no longer a small problem. It has gone global, and affects all the major economies of the world. People cannot spend their hard earned money when these identity thieves are stealing it. This fraud could end up becoming one of the major factors that could collapse a country's economy. Identity theft could turn a rich man poor, and a poor man rich within a very short period.

(1)Identity theft is a huge social problem only in the U.S.

(2)Progress in technology has made identity theft easier.

(3)Personal information security and privacy are utterly important.

(4)In Linda Foley's eyes, it is impossible to minimize the risk of identity theft.

(5)Good habits in people's daily life, global cooperation and an anti-corruption campaign are all helpful in the fighting against identity theft.

f the audience.【C1】______the writer often does not know who will read what he writes, he must【C2】______to be as clear as possible. Time can be taken to plan the piece of writing so that it is eventually organized into some sort of【C3】______sequence of events or ideas. When we speak, however, we normally have very【C4】______time to plan what we intend to say.【C5】______, we may begin speaking before we【C6】______what to say. Our thoughts then tumble out in【C7】______a logical sequence. Since we are actually【C8】______our audience face to face we may omit some of the information we believe our audience shares.【C9】______the more familiar we are with out audience, the more information we are likely to leave out.

As the speaker struggles to organize his thoughts, he will use filler phrases to give him time to plan.【C15】______these fillers, he will still make mistakes and repeat what he has already said. His speech will be characterized【C16】______a limited range of grammatical patterns and vocabulary and the use of idioms to【C17】______some general meaning quickly. It should be clear, then, that the listener has to take an active【C18】______in the process by ignoring the speaker' s repetitions and mistakes, and by seeking out the main idea information through recall and prediction. To keep the process going【C19】______he also has to inform. the speaker that he has understood【C20】______actually interrupting.
