“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before,” says Patsy Rowe, “Manners have fallen off the radar(雷達(dá)).” 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 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 annoying.

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 admitting our shortcomings. People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we’d publicly recognize 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. 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. ridiculousB. hatefulC. acceptableD. reasonable

4.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A. We should praise good behavior.

B. Technology can never be blamed.

C. We should keep pointing out mistakes.

D. Technology will take over our lives one day.

Like many new graduates, I left university full of hope for the future but with no real idea of what I wanted to do. My degree, with honors, in English literature had not really prepared me for anything practical. I knew I wanted to make a difference in the world somehow, but I had no idea how to do that. That’s when I learned about the Lighthouse Project.

I started my journey as a Lighthouse Project volunteer by reading as much as I could about the experiences of previous volunteers. I knew it would be a lot of hard work, and that I would be away from my family and friends for a very long time. In short, I did not take my decision to apply for the Lighthouse Project lightly. Neither did my family.

Eventually, however, I won the support of my family, and I sent in all the paperwork needed for the application. After countless interviews and presentations, I managed to stand out among the candidates and survive the test alone. Several months later, I finally received a call asking me to report for the duty. I would be going to a small village near Abuja, Nigeria. Where? What? Nigeria? I had no idea. But I was about to find out.

After completing my training, I was sent to the village that was small and desperately in need of proper accommodation. Though the local villagers were poor, they offered their homes, hearts, and food as if I were their own family. I was asked to lead a small team of local people in building a new schoolhouse. For the next year or so, I taught in that same schoolhouse. But I sometimes think I learned more from my students than they did from me. Sometime during that period, I realized that all those things that had seemed so strange or unusual to me no longer did, though I did not get anywhere with the local language, and returned to the United States a different man. The Lighthouse Project had changed my life forever.

1.What do we know about the author?

A. His university education focused on the theoretical knowledge.

B. His dream at university was to become a volunteer.

C. He took pride in having contributed to the world.

D. He felt honored to study English literature.

2.According to Paragraph 2, it is most likely that the author ________.

A. discussed his decision with his family

B. asked previous volunteers about voluntary work

C. attended special training to perform difficult tasks

D. felt sad about having to leave his family and friends

3.In his application for the volunteer job, the author ________.

A. participated in many discussions

B. went through challenging survival tests

C. wrote quite a few papers on voluntary work

D. faced strong competition from other candidates

4.What can we infer from the author’s experiences in Nigeria?

A. He found some difficulty adapting to the local culture.

B. He had learned to communicate in the local language.

C. He had overcome all his weaknesses before he left for home.

D. He was chosen as the most respectable teacher by his students.

An organization, Eye Care 4 Kids, is bringing much-needed eye care to poor kids. It provides free eye examinations for kids from poor families. Founded by Joseph Carbone in 2001, the organization has helped around 100,000 children in Utah and Nevada.

Now, Cecil Swyers, a biomedical(生物醫(yī)學(xué)的) engineer who was once a poor child himself, is bringing the charity’s(慈善) services to poor students in Arizona, so that vision impairment(視力受損) doesn’t stand in the way of their education.

“Eye Care 4 Kids is bringing eye care and glasses to families that wouldn’t have the means to pay for them,” said Mario Ventura from Isaac Elementary School District, the first school district in Arizona to receive its services.

Good vision is important to a child’s learning experience. According to a study, up to 80 percent of learning happens through sight for children between 6 and 18 years old. Without proper eye care, it’s difficult for students to learn better and succeed.

Swyers is hoping that by bringing the organization to Arizona he’ll help a lot more students. He teamed up with two other organizations to get doctors to volunteer their time with the group. Using an Eye Care 4 Kids mobile clinic, Swyers visited Alta E. Butler Elementary School and has already helped 40 students.

The school was grateful to receive the eye care, especially since the services came to them. “It’s great for us,” said Assistant Principal Cindy Alonso.

Swyers is hoping to bring Eye Care 4 Kids’ services to other schools in the state. He said that hopefully his work will have a positive effect on students’ futures. “If we can help students while they’re young, we can make a difference in their futures,” he said.

1.Eye Care 4 Kids helps students by _______.

A. giving them sunglasses for free

B. offering money to their families

C. examining their eyes for free

D. solving their problems in study

2.Who is in charge of the organization’s services in Arizona?

A. Joseph Carbone.B. Cecil Swyers.

C. Mario Ventura.D. Cindy Alonso.

3.Where do students take an eye examination?

B. In the mobile clinic.

C. In the nearby hospital.

D. In the places where students live.

4.What would be the best title for the text?

B. Eye Care 4 Kids Develops at a Fast Speed

C. Eye Care 4 Kids Helps Poor Kids Succeed
