When I first got an email account ten years ago, I received communications only from family, friends,
and colleagues.Now it seems that every time I check my email, I have an endless series of advertisements and other correspondence that do not interest me at all.If we want email to continue to be useful,we need
specific laws that make spamming(发送垃圾邮件) a crime.
If lawmakers do not do something soon to prohibit spam, the problem will certain
ly get much worse.Computer programs allow spammers to send hundreds of millions of emails almost instantly.As more
and more advertisers turn to spam to sell their products, individual (个人的) email boxes are often
flooded with spam emails.Would people continue to use email if they had to deal with an annoying amount of spam each time?
This problem is troubling for individuals and companies as well.Many spam emails contain computer
viruses that can shut down the entire network of a compa
ny.Companies rely on email for their employees to communicate with each other.Spam frequently causes failures in their local communications networks,
and their employees are thus unable to communicate effectively.Such a situation results in a loss of
productivity and requires companies to repeatedly repair their networks.These computer problems raise
production costs of companies, which are, in the end, passed on to the consumer.
For these reasons,I believe that lawmakers need to legislate(立法) against spam.Spammers should be
fined,and perhaps sent to prison if they continue to disturb people.Email is a tool which helps people all
over the world to communicate conveniently, but spam is destr
oying this convenience.1. What does the underlined word"correspondence"in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. messages
B. ideas
C. connections
D. programs
2. According to the text, what is the major cause of the flooding spam?
A. Companies rely on email for communications.
B. More people in the world communicate by email.
C. Many computer viruses contain spam emails.
D. More advertisers begin to promote sales through spam.
3. According to Paragraph 3, who is the final victim of spam?
A. The business.
B. The advertiser.
C. The employee.
D. The consumer.
4. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To inform.
B. To educate.
C. To persuade.
D. To instruct.
