20、-mail should be carefully managed to avoid unclear and inappropriate communication. As time goes on and more people surf the Net, the amount of unsolicited e-mail grows. Some folks reasonably assume that cyberspace mirrors many aspects of other forms of communications. It would seem that since telem

21、arketing and direct mail are successfully used as marketing techniques for many businesses , it should follow that direct e-mail or unsolicited e-mail should also work. This topic is hotly debated between experienced Internet users and newcomers. Unlike receiving promotional materials through the ma

22、il or over the phone, e-mail does carry a cost to the recipient. “Bandwidth“ is used every time when an e-mail message is sent and places a load on existing resources. The process of sending unsolicited e-mail to large, untargeted lists, or through mailing list discussion groups or Usenet newsgroups

23、, is known as “spamming“. Spamming wastes bandwidth. Imagine if it became common practice for businesses to market this way. Not only would it be annoying for many, the load on the system would translate to higher access fees. Unlike regular mail where the sender pays the cost of delivering the mail

24、, e-mail is cheap to send, and in some cases, expensive to receive. Many businesses responsibly market by e-mail, for example, by inviting existing customers or website visitors to receive future e-mail announcements. Some of the free e-mail services are advertiser-supported and hence using e-mail m

Just as

30、bodies require more maintenance with the passing years, so do brains, which scientists now know show signs of aging as early as the 20 s and 30 s. “ Brain aging starts at a very young age, younger than any of us have imagined and these processes continue gradually over the years,“ said Dr. Gary Smal

31、l, the director of the Center on Aging at the University of California, Los Angeles. “Im convinced that it is never too early to get started on a mental or brain-fitness program ,“ he added. In his book, “The Memory Bible,“ the 51-year-old neuroscientist lists what he refers to as the 10 commandment

32、s for keeping the brain young. They include training memory, building skills, minimizing stress, mental exercises, brain food and a healthy lifestyle. Its a game plan for keeping brain cells sparking and neural networks in tip-top shape. “Misplacing your keys a couple of times doesnt mean you should

33、 start labeling your cabinets. Memory loss is not an inevitable consequence of aging. Our brains can fight back,“ he said. Small provides the weapons for a full-scale attack. According to him, simple memory tests give an indication of what you are up against and tools such as look, snap and connect

34、are designed to make sure that important things such as names and dates are never forgotten. “ So if you want to learn names and faces, for example, you meet Mrs. Beatty and you notice a distinguishing facial feature, maybe a prominent eyebrow,“ said Small. “ You associate the first thing that comes

35、 to mind. I think of the actor Warren Beatty so I create a mental snapshot of Warren Beatty kissing her brow. “ Small admits it may sound a bit strange but he says it works. “Mental exercises could be anything from doing crossword puzzles and writing with your left hand if you are right handed or le

36、arning a language. It could be anything that is fun that people enjoy doing“ , he added. He also recommends physical exercise, a low-fat diet and eating foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as fish, walnuts and Brazil nuts, and fruits and vegetables high in antioxidants(抗氧化剂 )including blueberrie

42、e cannot keep us from brain aging 30 When I was still an architecture student, a teacher told me, “We learn more from buildings that fall down than from buildings that stand up. “ What he meant was that construction is as much the result of experience as of theory. Although structural design follows

43、 established formulas, the actual performance of a building is complicated by the passing of time, the behavior of users, the natural elements and unnatural events. All are difficult to simulate. Buildings, unlike cars, cant be crash-tested. The most important lesson of the World Trade Center collap

44、se is that tall buildings can withstand the impact of a large jetliner. The twin towers were supported by 59 perimeter columns on each side. Although about 30 of these columns, extending from four to six floors, were destroyed in each building by the impact, initially both towers remained standing.

45、Even so, the death toll(代价 )was appalling 2,245 people lost their lives. I was once asked, how tall buildings should be designed given what wed learned from the World Trade Center collapse. My answer was, “Lower. “ The question of when a tall building becomes unsafe is easy to answer. Common aerial

46、fire-fighting ladders in use today are 100 feet high and can reach to about the 10th floor, so fires in buildings up to 10 stories high can be fought from the exterior(外部 ). Fighting fires and evacuating occupants above that height depend on fire stairs. The taller the building is, the longer it wil

47、l take for firefighters to climb to the scene of the fire. So the simple answer to the safety question is “Lower than 10 stories “. Then why dont cities impose lower height limits? A 60-story office building does not have six times as much rentable space as a 10-story building. However, all things a

48、re equal. Such a building will produce four times more revenue and four times more in property taxes. So cutting building heights would mean cutting city budgets. The most important lesson of the World Trade Center collapse is not that we should stop building tall buildings but that we have misjudge

49、d their cost. We did the same thing when we underestimated the cost of hurtling along a highway in a steel box at 70 miles per hour. It took many years before seat belts, air bags, radial tires, and antilock brakes became common place. At first, cars simply were too slow to warrant concern. Later, manufacturers resisted these expensive devices, arguing that consumers would not pay for safety. Now we do willingly. 31 What can we learn from the WTC colla
