　　You may open your electronic mail and find information about how to buy medicine, cheap airline tickets, books and, of course, computers and computer products.

　　There may also be offers for investment deals, bank loans and special holidays. However, to many computer users, this use of electronic spare to sell products has become a major problem as it makes computer communication more difficult.

　　Many companies who want to send a great deal of advertising might use the services of a “spammer”. A spammer is a person or company that uses computers to send out millions of copies of the same sales information. Spammers find e­mail addresses from websites, news groups and “chat rooms” where people send messages to each other. Most spare is sent by

　　companies who are trying to get you to buy their products.

　　Some of these are honest companies that offer good products or

　　services for a fair price. These companies can offer their products at a cheaper price than you might find in a store. However, much of the spam on the Internet is sent by criminals who

　　are trying to sell products that do not exist or offer services

　　they will not provide. They are only interested in stealing your

　　money. When you answer their spam, you find you are expected to send them money and receive a gift.

　　One country in Africa has become famous for the number of criminals who try

　　every known trick to separate people from their money.

　　16. What does the underlined word “spare” probably refer to? A. Companies that send out millions of copies of the same

　　sales information. B. Advertisements sent out by companies who want to sell

　　their products. C. Computer virus that causes computer communication difficulties. D. Unwanted electronic information that reaches computer

　　users. 答案与解析：D　根据语境可知在网络中，罪犯想买根本不存在的产品或不能提供的服务，因而发送spam。spam应是信息的意思，而不是公司，广告或电脑病毒。

　　17. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A. Companies who advertise a lot are referred to as spammers. B. Spammers are people who receive spam on their computers. C. Spammers are people who collect many e­mail addresses

　　from websites. D. Either individuals or organizations can be spammers if

　　they send out spam. 答案与解析：D　spammer是垃圾邮件制造者。A项做很多广告的公司是spammer，是错误的。B项spammer是接收信息的人。C项spammer是指从网站上收集很多电子邮件地址的人，故选D项，无论是个人或组织，只要发送垃圾邮件都是。

　　18. Which is the possible suggestion from the writer concerning spam? A. Look out for any spam that reaches your computer. B. Spam is sent out by those who want to separate you from your money. C. Spam is very helpful in providing you with useful information about product sales. D. Spam helps companies to sell more of their products so it should be valued by people. 答案与解析：A　从文章最后一段可知spammer最感兴趣的是偷你的钱。当你回复垃圾邮件时，你会发现他让你给他钱，而你会得到礼物，因此选A项。

　　B Since we are social beings, the quality of our lives depends in large measure on our interpersonal relationships. One strength of the human condition is our tendency to give and receive support from one another under stressful circumstances. Social support consists of the exchange of resources among people based on their interpersonal ties.

　　Those of us with strong support systems appear better able to deal with major life changes and daily difficulties. People with strong social ties live longer and have better health than those without such ties. Studies over a range of illnesses, from depression to heart disease, show that the presence of social support helps people protect themselves from illness, and the absence of such support makes poor health more likely.

　　Social support cushions stress in a number of ways. First, friends, relatives and coworkers may let us know that they value us. Our self­respect is strengthened when we feel accepted by others despite our faults and difficulties. Second, other people often provide us with informational support. They help us to explain and understand our problems and find solutions to them.

　　Third, we typically find social companionship supportive. Engaging in leisure time activities with others helps us to meet our social needs while at the same time distract(转移……注意力 ) us from our worries and troubles. Finally, other people may give us important support—financial aid, material resources, and needed services—that reduces stress by helping us solve and deal with our problems. 19. Research shows that people's physical and mental health

　　has much to do with________.

　　A. the social medical system
