Electronic Mail
During the past few years, scientist the world over have suddenly found themselves productively engaged in task they once spent their lives avoiding-writing, any kind of writing but particularly letter writing. Encouraged by electronic mail's surprisingly high speed, convenience and economy, people who never before touched the stuff are regularly, skillfully, even cheerfully tapping out a great deal of correspondence.
Electronic networks, woven into the fabric of scientific communication these days, are the route to colleagues in distant counties, shared data, bulletin boards and electronic journals. Anyone with a personal computer, a modem and the software to link computers over telephone lines can sign on. An estimated five million scientists have done so with more joining every day, most of them communicating through a bundle of interconnected domestic and foreign routes known collectively as the internet, or net. E-mail is staring to edge out the fax, the telephone, overnight mail, and of course, land mail. It shrinks time and distance between scientific collaborators, in par[ because it is conveniently asynchronous (writers can type while their colleagues across time zones sleep; their message will be waiting). If it is not yet speeding discoveries, it is certainly accelerating communication.
Jeremy Bernstei, the physicist and science writer, once called E-mail the physicist's umbilical cord. Lately other people, too, have been discovering its connective virtues. Physicists are using it; college students are using it, everybody is using it, and as a sign that it has come of age, the New Yorker has accelerates its liberating presence with a cartoon--an appreciative dog seated at a keyboard, saying happily, "On the Internet, nobody knows you're a dog."
The reasons given below about the popularity of E-mail can be found in the passage except______

This year's theme, "Healthy Environments for Children" focuses on the many dangers(8)by children in and around the places where they live and play.
These include inadequate access to safe drinking(9)and sanitation, insect-borne diseases, air pollution, chemical hazards and injuries from traffic, falls, bums and drownings.
Communities around the world organized events to promote awareness of children's health issues(10)included drawing contests for school children in Vietnam street plays in India, puppet shows in Namibia and professional lectures for policy makers in Germany and elsewhere. Activities also took(11)in cities across Canada on Monday, including Calgary Montreal, Halifax and Ottawa.
Although children under five represent only 10 per cent of the world's population, they bear 40 per cent of the global disease(12), says the WHO. And as much as one-third of the total burden of disease may be caused by environmental(13).
World Health Day has been celebrated on April 7th(14)1950. Each year the WHO chooses a theme to highlight areas of particular concern. Last year's(15)More for Health, focused on promoting physical activity as part of healthy living.
