“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 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 speed.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?

4．What can we learn from the last paragraph?

(2017·山西长治二中、忻州一中、临汾一中、康杰中学、晋城一中联考) It is commonly believed that all over the world，boys and girls attend a mixed school，where they study together.But boys’ schools are the perfect place to teach young men to express their emotions and involve them in activities such as art，dance and music.

Always boys at single-sex schools were said to be more likely to get involved in cultural and artistic activities that helped develop their emotional expressiveness，rather than feeling they had to correspond to the “boy code” of hiding their e motions to be a “real man”．

Surprisingly，the findings of the study go against received wisdom that boys do better when taught alongside girls.

George Carl，headmaster of Eton，warned that boys were being failed by the British education system because it had become too focused on girls.He criticized teachers for failing to recognize that boys are actually more emotional than girls.

The research argued that boys often perform badly in mixed schools because they become discouraged when girls do better earlier in speaking and reading skills.

But in single-sex schools teachers can adjust lessons to boys’learning style，letting them move around the classroom and getting them to compete in teams to prevent boredom，wrote the study’s author，Abigail James，of the University of Virginia.

Teachers could encourage boys to enjoy reading and writing with “boy-focused” approaches such as themes and characters that appeal to them.Because boys generally have more acute vision，learn best through touch，and are physically more active，they need to be given “hands-on” lessons where they are allowed to walk around.“Boys in mi xed schools view classical music as feminine and prefer the modern genre(类型) in which violence and sexism are major themes，” James wrote.

Single-sex education also made it less likely that boys would feel that they had to be “masterful and in charge” in relationships.“In mixed schools，boys feel forced to act like men before they understand themselves well enough to know what that means，” the study reported.

5．The writer argues that a single-sex school would .

A．encourage boys to express their emotions more freely

B．help boys to be more competitive in school

C．force boys to hide their emotions to be “real men”

D．naturally strengthen boys’ traditional image of a man

6．Traditionally，in a mixed school boys .

A．behave more responsibly

B．perform relatively better

C．grow up more healthily

D．receive a better education

7．In Abigail James’s opinion，one of the advantages of single-sex schools is that .

A．boys can choose to learn whatever they are interested in

B．boys can focus on their lessons without being distracted

C．teaching can be adjusted to suiting the characteristics of boys

D．teaching can be designed to promote boys’ team spirit

8．The underlined word “acute” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to “”．A．lovely B．serious C．sharp D．dull
