Recently, as the British doctor Robert Winston took a train from London fbund
to Manchester, he
himself having to listen to a loud conversation of a fellow passenger woman. Boiling
with
anger, Winston took her picture and sent it to his more than 40,000 followers on the Tweet. By the
time the train reached the station in Manchester, some journalists were waiting fbr the woman.
And when they showed her the doctor's messages, she used just one word to describe Winston's actions:
rude.
Winston's tale is a good example of increasing rudeness, fueled by social media in our age. Studies
show that rudeness spreads quickly and virally, almost like the common cold. Just

witnessing rudeness makes it far more likely that we, in turn, will be rude later on. Once infected,
we are more aggressive, less creative and worse at our jobs. The only way out is to make a conscious
decision to do so. We must have the courage to call it out, face to face. We must say,
For Winston, that would have meant approaching the woman, telling her that her conversation was
frustrating other passengers and politely asking her to speak more quietly or make the call at another
time.
The anger we feel at the rude behavior of a stranger can drive us to do out-of-place things.
Research discovered that the acts of revenge （报复）people had taken ranged from the ridiculous to
the disturbing. Winston did shine a spotlight on the woman's behavior—but in a way that shamed her.
When we see rudeness occur in public places, we must step up and say something. And we can do
it with grace, by handling it without a bit of aggression and without being rude ourselves. Because
once rude people can see their actions through the eyes of others, they are far more likely to end
the rudeness themselves. As this wave of rudeness rises, civilization needs civility （举止文明）.

A. a way of returning good for evil

California has been facing droughts for many years, with certain areas even having to pump
freshwater hundreds of miles to their distribution system. The problem is growing as the population
of the state continues to expand. New research has found deep water reserves under the state which
could help solve their drought crisis. Previous drilling of wells could only reach depths of 1,000
feet, but due to new pumping practices, water deeper than this can now be extracted （抽取）.The team
at Stanford investigated the aquifers （地下蓄水层
）
below this depth and found that reserves may be
three times what was previously thought.
It is profitable to drill to depths more than 1,000 feet for oil and gas, but only recently in
California has it become profitable to pump water from this depth. The aquifers range from 1,000 to
3,000 feet below the ground, which means that pumping will be expensive and there are other concerns.
The biggest concern is the gradual setting down of the land surface. As the water is pumped out, the
B. more frustrated passengers
D. more face-to-face communication
B. Civilization Calls for Civility
D. Rude Behavior Makes a Rude Man

vacant space left is pressed by the weight of the earth above.
Even though pumping from these depths is expensive, it is still cheaper than desalinating （脱
盐） the ocean water in the largely coastal state. Some desalination plants exist where possible, but
they are costly to run and can need constant repairs. Wells are much more reliable sources of freshwater,
and California is hoping that these deep wells may be the answer to their severe water shortage.
One problem with these sources is that the deep water also has a higher level of salt than shallower
aquifers. This means that some water may even need to be desalinated after extraction, thus increasing
the cost. Research from the study of groundwater has just been published. New estimates of the water
reserves now go up to 2,700 billion cubic meters of freshwater.
27.
According to the text, what causes the water crisis in California?
A. Previous drilling of wells. B. The messy distribution system.
D. The adoption of new pumping practices.
C.
Constant droughts in the area.
28.
The research teams think it
A. expensive but practical
to extract water from deeper aquifers.
B. reliable and profitable
D. cheap and environment-friendly
C.
cost- free but demanding
29.
What is mentioned as a consequence of extracting water from deep underground?
A. The damage to aquifers.
C. The decrease in operation costs.
B. The sinking of land surface.
D. The negative effects on the climate.
30.
What is the author's purpose in writing the text?
A.
To encourage people to save water.
B.
To promote the seawater desalination.
C.
To introduce a new way of extracting freshwater.
D.
To draw people's attention to the droughts in California.

There are many things we remember from our childhood—the games we played, the music we listened
to...but what about earning pocket money? This was our first ever wage for completing tasks such
as tidying our bedroom or sorting the laundry. Our reward was a handful of coins that we safely stored.
31
There was a time when cash was the main currency for financial transactions
（交易）.
These days,
though, using credit cards, or making cashless payments, are the most convenient ways of paying. 32
Research has found that 84% of British parents currently give notes and coins to their children一
usually 7 pounds a week as an allowance.

But banks predict that by 2028 only one in ten transactions will be with cash, and that ifs something
today's children will have to deal with. One issue is that children may not understand the value of
cash because they never see it. 33 They either should find a new way to hand out pocket money, or needn't
bother to pay it at all.
Still, solutions are available. Giving children lessons at school about finance is important.
34 The trick is to go and get some coins so that children have the opportunity to interact with them.
Besides, bank accounts for older children can be opened to give them cash cards to use. Whatever
method a parent chooses to adopt, their children will get some idea of the value of pocket money.
35
A.
Parents face a dilemma too.
B.
This, in turn, makes the buying much easier.
C.
They have completely taken the place of cash.
D.
So how do parents hand out pocket money at present?
E.
But parents need to teach their kids that money doesn't grow on trees!
F.
But now, it seems that parents* attitude to handing out cash is changing.
G.
And parents are advised to get children started with money as young as possible.

Is the traditional family dinner a thing of the past? In today's households where both parents
go to work and kids have busy schedules with school, an array of afternoon activities and much homework,
finding time for a gathering at the table seems impossible. Yet, studies have shown time and again
that eating together has multiple benefits for family members, especially children.
According to a number of reports issued by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse
at Columbia University, children who eat at least five times a week with their family are at lower
risk of developing poor eating habits, weight problems or alcohol dependencies, and tend to perform
better academically than their peers who frequently eat alone or away from home.
Eating together as a family is not just about food and nutrition. Food has become so easily and
cheaply available that we no longer appreciate its significance, says Professor Robin Fox, who teaches
anthropology at Rutgers University in New Jersey. have to rediscover its importance and its value.
Sharing a meal with loved ones should be considered a special event, which can almost take on the form
of a ceremony, as it was practiced by our ancestors, fbr whom finding food was a constant struggle.
Besides appreciation fbr the value of food, there are also many social elements that come into
play when families share meals, says Miriam Weinstein, author of
The Surprising Power of Family Meals.

The dinner table can be the perfect environment where kids learn how to conduct conversations, observe

good manners, serve others, listen, solve conflicts and compromise.
Of course, there is no guarantee that the simple act of eating at home surrounded by family will
save children from developing unhealthy lifestyles or making regrettable choices down the road. It
may not make them more virtuous （品行端正的
）
or socially more responsible. But it can form a basis
fbr a lot of things that point them in the right direction.
