The word ‟spreadsheet‟ is also used to refer to the product created by this type of application--- for example a table of information in words and figures, either on the screen, as a f ile, or as a printout.In Excel, one of the most popular spreadsheet programs, the files us ed are called workbooks. These consist of worksheets, or …sheets‟, which are the electronic equivalent of large sheet of paper. The data is displa yed in rows and columns, in a large table on the screen. The columns are usually labelled with letters of the alphabet (though sometimes with a number) at the top of the worksheet, and the rows are labelled with n umbers on the left. The grey areas at the top of columns are called …col umn headings‟, and the corresponding areas to the left of the rows are called “row headings”. Cells are the small boxes formed where rows and columns intersect. Every cell has an …address‟ which contains the labels of the row and column which intersect to form it.41.A spreadsheet program is used to[A] display data and to perform calculations[B] create the products[C] label the column42. The files used In Excel are called[A] worksheets[B] workbooks[C] sheets43. The columns are usually labeled with[A] addresses[B] numbers[C] letters of the alphabet44.

Email is fast, im mediate and free. Perhaps you've noticed –while composing a message –Bcc and Cc buttons and wondered about them. To send an email m essage you need to type an email address next to To.Cc and Bcc have similar functions, even more interesting.Cc(Carbon Copy) allows you to send copies of the same message to multiple email addresses.Bcc(Blind Carbon Copy) allows you to send messages to people withou t including others email addresses in the message header.With To and Cc all email addresses appear in the header of the messa ge you send. If you frequently send messages to lots of people, use Bc c instead of Cc and no one will be able to know to whom you're sendin g the message.Tip: you can easily add an email by clicking on (besides To, Cc, Bcc) If you are composing a long email message, click File>>Save, and a co py of your message is immediately saved in Draft folder. That way you will never lose your messages if something bad happens. Press on Draf t folder, open the message and continue from where you left. You can also save messages to any location on your computer. Select a messag e from a folder (e.g. Inbox), double-click to open it and click File>>Save As..specify a location and press Save.When saving you can choose between three different formats:Mail format (.eml): The file is saved as .eml , 2-click its icon to launch Outlook Express.Txt Format (.txt): message is stored as a text file, read with Notepad orany text editor.Html format (.htm, .html): This format is not available for all messages, it allows to save a message as webpage.The Mail format requires Outlook Express to open the message.Txt is the safest, since the message can be viewed using any text edito r e.g. NotePad.Html messages can be viewed within any browser e.g. Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. If you want to exchange messages through floppi es use Txt format.In most of the time you will be using the Address Book to add email ad dresses as recipients. In case you've typed an email address manually, click to verify that the address is correct or check if it's available in addr ess book, if not simply click on New Contact in the Check Names wind ow to add the new entry to your Address book.45. Bcc differs from To and Cc in that[A] it‟s faster and simpler[B] it can send message to multiple receivers[C] it won‟t reveal others email address46. If you want to save your message as a webpage, you should choose the format of[A] (.eml)[B] (.txt)[C] (.htm)47. If you have filled in an address manually, you may click to[A] check if the address is correct[B] add a new entry to your Address book[C] change or delete the addressText 3Job OneA pro-active role in a legal environment.

For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. You are required to choose the ONE that best fits into the statement. Mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.There is a tale/ that straw(稻草) is the worst material from which to build a house , particularly if you are a pig with a hungry wolf around. So the cards were stacked against Warren Brush when local officials(官员） learned that he had several buildings /made of straw bales(大捆) on his land.They have tried to fine him a lot. But the case is still unresolved. The problem is that California’s building codes make no provision for the use of straw. And Mr. Brush has many defenders—among them several university scientists and David Eisenberg, the chairman of the United St ates Green Building Council’s code committee. They would like to see the prejudice against straw houses eliminated, for straw is, in many ways, an ideal building material.It is, for one thing, a great insulator(绝热体). That keeps down the heating bills in houses made from it. It is also a waste product that would otherwise be burned, and is therefore cheap. And—very much to the point in a place like California—it is earthquake-resistant. Last year a test conducted at the University of Nevada showed that straw-bale constructions could withstand twice the amount of ground motion recorded in the Northbridge earthquake that hit Los Angeles in 1994.There are other straws in the wind: a post office in suburban Albuquerque, a school in Maryland, and an office complex in suburban Los Angeles have all been built from straw. Even California is having a rethink, and may change its rules to adapt to straw-bale construction. As Mr. Eisenberg observes, “The lesson of the Three Little Pigs isn’t to avoid straw. It’s that you don’t let a pig build your house.”1. By “the cards were stacked against Warren Brush”, the author means______.A. Brush disliked playing cardsB. cards were piled （堆放；一堆）around BrushC. Brush might lose the card gameD. Brush could be in trouble12.
