19． People are ruder today because they are rushed and more`time poor'than ever before. says Patsy R——青夏教育精英家教网—

19．"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 more people don't wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint（抱怨）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．

9．What can be infer from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 1？D
A．People can tell good from bad behavior．
B．Radar is able to observe human behavior．
C．Radar can be used to predict human behavior．
D．People care little about their behavior．
10．Some people are less willing to deal with humans becauseB．
A．they are growing too independent
B．they are becoming less patient
C．they have to handle many important messages
D．they have to follow an evolutionary step backward．
11..What can we learn from the last paragraph？C
A．Technology will take over lives one day．
B．Technology can never be blamed
C．We should applaud good behavior．
D．We should keep pointing out mistakes．

13．Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days，but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher．
If I have learned anything in my 16years，it is that communication is very important，both when you disagree and when you get along．With any relationship，you need to let other person know how you are feeling．If you are not able to communicate，you drift apart．When you are mad at your parents，or anyone else，not talking to them doesn't solve anything．
Communication begins with the concerns of another．It means that you can't just come home from school，go up to your room and ignore everyone．Even if you just say"Hi"，and see how their day was for five minutes，it is better than nothing．
If you looked up the word"communication"in a dictionary，it would say"the exchange of ideas，the conveyance （表达） of information，correspondence （通信），means of communication：a letter or a message"．To maintain （保持） a good relationship，you must keep communication strong．Let people know how you feel，even if it's just by writing a note．
When dealing with parents，you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent．If you are trying to make them see something as you see it，tell them that you'll listen to what they have to say，but ask them politely to listen to you．Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse．
This is an example：one night，Sophie went to a street party with her friends．She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks，but she didn't feel she could just ask to go home．That would be rude．After all，they had been nice enough to take her along with them．Needless to say，she was late getting home．Her parents were mad at first，not when Sophie explained why she was late，they weren't as mad and let the incident go．Communication is the key factor here．If Sophie's parents had not been willing to listen，Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble．
Communication isn't a one-way deal：it goes both ways．Just remember：if you get into a situation like Sophie's，telling the other person how you feel-listening is the key factor to communication．

12．Two little children were sitting by the fire one cold winter's night．Suddenly，they heard a knock at the door．"Who can it be？"they wondered．One ran （41）curiously （curious） to open it．There，outside in the cold and the darkness，stood a child （42）with no shoes on his feet and dressed in old thin garments．He was trembling with cold，（43）so/and he asked if he was allowed to come in and warm himself．
"Yes，come，"cried both the children．They drew the little stranger to their warm seat，（44）shared（share） their supper with him，and gave him their bed，and they slept on a hard bench．
On the night，they （45）were awoken （awake） by sweet music，（46）whichwas played by a band of children in shining garments．Suddenly the stranger child stood in front of （47）them：no longer cold and ragged，but dressed in silvery light．He said，"I am the Christ Child，（48）wandering（wander） through the world to bring peace and （49）happiness（happy） to good children as you．As you have helped me so much，this tree will give rich fruit to you every year．"
