Political activists from South Korea gathered signatures of people on Saturday to prevent the push to deploy(部署) a U.S. missile shield - Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD萨德) in their country.

At the Gwanghwamun square in central Seoul (首尔), where the people ever lit candles to force former President Park Geun-hye out of office, the campaign was carried out to urge lawmakers to stop the hurried push for THAAD deployment.

On March 6, some equipment of the THAAD was flown to a U.S. military(军事的) base south of Seoul. One THAAD battery consists of complicated fire and control units and some other equipment. Local broadcasting station KBS reported that the AN/TPY-2 radar(雷达)was supposed to be delivered to South Korea on March 16, but it was not confirmed as the U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) refused to tell the arrival of other THAAD equipment.

The hurry deployment "is illegal and against the law," said a person who refused to tell his name. She said their advice would be presented next week to the leaders of major political parties. The campaign started online a week ago, and it had already collected around 5,000 signatures. They are targeting 10,000 signatures to be gathered. The organizing groups would call on the government to stop all deployment procedures. The Seoul-Washington agreement to put one THAAD battery was announced in July last year without any parliamentary(国会的)approval and public consensus.

"Lawmakers must stop telling. They must act," said the activist. They claimed the THAAD plan lacked the people's agreement and is against people's rights to peaceful, healthy life and environmental protection, which are guaranteed by the law. The Gwanghwamun square was packed with people holding cards that read "Opposition to THAAD." Residents made their way to the capital city and chanted the famous slogan "THAAD Out, Peace In." Some put a flag with anti-THAAD slogan over their shoulders, while children held a blue, rubber balloon that was stamped with anti-THAAD slogan.

In addition to opposition at home, China and Russia have strongly opposed THAAD in South Korea as it can spy on their countries, thus damaging security of the two countries.

Under the Seoul-Washington agreement, THAAD in South Korea will be operated by the USFK. Seoul has claimed the X-band radar is only aimed at the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's (DPRK) threats, but South Korea's military has no right to be engaged in the operation.

D. The campaign was started online and 10,000 signatures had been gathered.

3.What does the underlined word “consensus”(Line 6, Para4 ) mean?

After ruling the tennis world for almost five years,Roger Federer is adjusting to life at NO.2.But,like any king whose throne has been taken away,the Swiss star is already planning secretly bis return to power,beginning at this week's US Open.

The problem is,many experts think he will never do it.They blame everything from age and tough competition to his racket and psychology.

For years Federer,had enjoyed the view from the top.Competitors saw him as undefeated,and for the most part he was.However,before the 2008 season began,Federer had an illness that stole his strength and clearly affected his play on the court.Ever since,he has struggled to return to form,winning just two of his last 14 tournaments.

"Twenty-seven is an age when your body starts talking back to you."tennis great John McEnroe told the New York Times.

Pancho Sefura,another tennis great,noted that Federer is also facing a maturing crop of young talents."There are too many great players now,"he said,naming Britain's Andy Murray,21,and Latvia's Ernests Gulbis,20.

US magazine Sports Illustrated tennis columnist Jon Wertheim suggested that part of Federer's problem could be his insistence on using a small racket.He says that the smaller head demands ball control.But we see time and again that racket makers try to get players to use a certain stick-one they would like to market to consumers and it has a negative effect on the professional game.

Sports psychologist Jim Loehr told the Times that Federer is probably feeling "a sense of doubt"after being considered as undefeated for so long.If Federer is to recover his state of being undefeated,Loehr said he must overcome his doubt."Federer doesn't need fame and money.But he has to get better.He has to go t.o a whole new level.That's the only way he stays in the game,"he said.

As for beginning his first Grand Slam in ages as the NO.2 seed,Federer said it might be for the best."Five years almost,I was expected to win every tournament I entered,"he said,"so maybe Rafael Nadal now feels what I had to feel for a very long time.It will be interesting to see how he handles it."

I was the oldest of five children back in the 60’s. We lived in a nice little three-bedroom bungalow(平房)in Michigan. Mom and Dad worked so hard, yet always found the time to spend with us. The only place they could take five active children to was the drive-in (汽车影院)movies!

We always looked forward to going to the drive-in! Mom would fill a big bag with homemade popcorn. On the way there, Dad would make a special stop at the penny candy store, where we were all allowed to fill a little brown bag with all kinds of penny candy. We were so exited as we carried our treasures back to the car, knowing we couldn’t eat it until the cartoon began.

We would get there early, so that we could play on the playground, right under the big screen. As soon as it started to get dark, the screen lit up, and we would race back to the car to get our candy.

There were always two cartoons playing before the movie, like Felix the Cat, The Coyote, and Tom and Jerry, But what was just as exciting was the ticking clock advertisement for the refreshment stand, with dancing hot dogs, candy and ice cream. That came on right before the movie. It was all that five kids could hope for, and by then, stay awake for.

We would get home around 2 am, pretty late for us. Mom help?ed us drug ourselves and our pillows to our beds and dad carried in the little ones.

I was disappointed the day they closed the last drive-in in our town. It will always hold special memories for us—those days of penny candy.

It’s inevitable for us to meet and contact with strangers. Also talking to strangers matters but how does it work? There are unwritten rules we tend to follow. The rules are very different depending on what country we’re in and what culture we’re in.

In most parts of the US, the baseline expectation in public is that we maintain a balance between politeness and privacy. This is known as civil inattention(礼貌性疏忽). So, imagine two people are walking towards each other on the street. They’ll glance or wave at each other from a distance. That’s the civility. And then as they get closer, they’ll look away, to give each other some space.

In other cultures, people go to extraordinary lengths not to interact at all. People from Denmark are unwilling to talk to strangers, and they would rather miss their stop on the bus than say “excuse me” to someone that they need to get around. They move the backpacks on purpose or use their bodies to say that they need to get past, instead of using two words.

In Egypt, it’s rude to ignore a stranger, and there’s a remarkable culture of hospitality. Strangers might ask each other for a sip of water. Or, if you ask someone for directions, they’re very likely to invite you home for coffee. We see these unwritten rules most clearly when they’re broken, or when you’re in a new place and you’re trying to figure out what the right thing to do is.

When you talk to strangers, you’re making beautiful interruptions into the expected narrative of your daily life and theirs. You’re making unexpected connections. If you don’t talk to strangers, you’re missing out on all of that. We spend a lot of time teaching our children about strangers. What would happen if we spent more time teaching ourselves? We could make a space for change.

1.Which of the following can be regarded as civil inattention in most parts of the US?

A. Avoiding talking to strangers.

B. Glancing at each other anytime.

C. Greeting someone in the distance.

D. Inviting strangers home for coffee.

2.How does a Dane get past on the bus?

A. By saying “excuse me” politely.

B. By tapping others on the shoulders.

C. By forcing his way through people.

D. By making a gesture.

3.Why does the author advise making a space for change?

A. To let us create private space between strangers and us.

B. To let us show hospitality to strangers.

C. To let us make improvement on how to treat strangers.

D. To let us maintain a balance between politeness and privacy.

4.What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. How to contact with strangers.

B. Different rules of treating strangers.

C. The meaning of civil inattention.

D. Making unexpected connections.
