双语美文集锦 如果你有邮箱那将会怎样？ A jobless man applied for the position of office boy at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him then watched him cleaning the floor as a test. “You are employed”, he said, “Give me your email address and I’ll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.” The man replied, “But I don’t have a computer, neither an email. ” “I’m sorry”, said the HR manager, “If you don’t have an email, that means you do not exist.
