Being nervous about Friday the 13th is a superstition (迷信). 2 Many buildings dont have a 13th floor and, in races, no one wants to wear the number 13. According to some, Jesus was crucified (十字架上钉死) on Friday making the combination of “Friday” and “13” particularly unlucky.

【题目】“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 attachment to electronic equipment it is a wonder that more people don’t wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint 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 (进化的) step backward. It feels very slow because humans dont 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 making 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. Dont assume it is OK to be rude if the person youre in touch with wont 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 shouldnt 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 better if we’d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.

A. People can tell good behavior from bad behavior.

B. Radar is able to observe human behavior.

C. People care little about their 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. disgusting

C. acceptable D. reasonable

【4】What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. We should applaud good behavior.

B. Technology can never be blamed.

C. We should keep pointing out mistakes.

D .Technology will take over our lives one day.
