“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before,” says Patsy Rowe, “ Manners have fallen off the radar(雷达).” Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment, it is a wonder that more people don’t wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with complaining about the noise. Here are some examples of rudeness.

Some people prefer to do almost everything over the Internet. To them, dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward. It feels very slow because humans don’t work at 4G speeds. When you have dinner with friends, you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone. We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life-changing news, so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with. What is worse, some people even tend to send anonymous（匿名的）rude messages by email.

However, rudeness is never acceptable. Don’t assume it is OK to be rude if the person you’re in touch with won’t recognize you. If you have something awful to say, have the courage to face the person and say it, write a letter or email and sign it, or forget it. Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.

We shouldn’t blame technology for our shortcomings. Technology is here to help us, but we should not allow it to take over our lives. An important step is acknowledging our shortcomings. People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we’d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.

1.What can be inferred from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1?

A. People can tell good from bad behavior.

B. People care little about their behavior.

C. Radar is able to observe human behavior.

D. Radar can be used to predict human behavior.

2.Some people are less willing to deal with humans because______.

A. they are becoming less patient

B. they are growing too independent

C. they have to handle many important messages

D. they have to follow an evolutionary step backward.

3.The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is ______.

A. Ridiculous B. acceptable

C. disgusting D. reasonable

4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. Technology can never be blamed

B. We should applaud good behavior.

C. We should keep pointing out mistakes.

D. Technology will take over lives one day.

A. happen; is B. happen ; is

Cathy is a tetraplegic. She has not been able to move her arms, legs or speak since suffering a stroke（中风）nearly fifteen years ago. Recently, she learned how to control a robotic arm using her thoughts. She now can use brain activity to serve herself a drink.

The American woman is one of two people who took part in a research project known as BrainGate2. The researchers have spent years studying how to help people who are disabled regain movement in their arms and legs.

John Donoghue is a neuroscientist with Brown University and also was part of the project. He said, “People like Cathy have their brain disconnected from their body. So they are not able to go out and do everyday things that you and I can do, like reach for a glass of water or scratch your nose. Our idea is to avoid that damaged nervous system and go directly from the brain to the outside world, so the brain signals can, not control muscles, but control machines or devices like a computer or a robotic arm.”

The two disabled people had small sensors connected to the part of the brain that controls movement. The devices measured brain activity and sent that information to a computer. The computer has special software that turns the information into digital commands for operating other devices. The researchers used a highly developed robotic arm to recreate human actions．

The BrainGate team had its first success in 2006. A tetraplegic stabbing victim was able to use the brain—computer system to control a computer mouse. John says the latest development using robotic arms is a major victory.

A video of the latest experiment shows Cathy using the robotic arm to pick up a cup of coffee. She guides the cup toward her mouth, moves it forward and drinks through a straw.

Lead researcher Leigh Hochberg said the first time she did it was a magic moment.

The research team carried out almost 200 tests with two different robotic arms, which were able to pick up their target objects 43％ to 66％of the time.

The researchers are calling the information very promising. But they say it will take years to fully develop the technology for everyday use.

1.What kind of symptoms may a tetraplegic have?

A. He/She may suffer from amnesia and a loss of concentration.

B. His /Her part of body may become sore and swollen.

C. He/She may get frequent headaches or backaches.

D. He/She can’t move his/her arms or legs and has no ability to speak.

2.How does the robotic arm work?

A. brain signals small sensors muscle a robot arm

B. brain signals the nervous system musclea robot arm

C. brain signals small sensors a computer a robot arm

D. brain signals the nervous system a computer a robot arm

3.What can we know from this passage?

A．The technology had been put into use before 2006.

B．It won’t be long before the technology comes into daily use．

C．The two robotic arms couldn't pick up their target objects．

D. Quite a few experiments have been conducted for the technology．

4.What's the purpose of the research project?

A．To help the disabled people to move and speak．

B．To help the brain-computer system to control a computer mouse．

C．To help the disabled people use brain activity to serve themselves a drink．

D．To help the disabled people to get movement like having their arms and legs again．

With the development of people’s living condition, more and more people possess their own cars. Some of us think it is good to own a car. For instance, it’s convenient, fast and comfortable means of transportation. Moreover, it shows that people are becoming richer and the country is much more stronger. It also made relative businesses and industries develop faster.

However, others have different opinions, thinking that cars give up waste gases and pollute the environment around. Too much cars will have some bad effects, such as more accidents and crowdedness. Besides, lack parking lots is another big problem.

As far as I’m concerned, we ought to think careful before buying cars. As if we have cars, we may use it less.
