“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 w onder 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 ia acknowledging our shortcomings.People spend a lot of time pointing o ut bad manners but it would be even more help if we′d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.

A.People can tell good from bad behavior.

B.Radar is able tu obserbe human behabior.

D.they have to follow an evolutionary step backward.

70.The author thinks sending unsigned awful messages is

A.Ridiculous

B.disgusting

C.acceptable

D.reasonable

71.What can we learn from the last paragraph?

A.We should applaud good behabior.

B.Technology can neber be blamed

Aristotle once wrote that “happiness is a state of activity”. In other words, whether you?re Seeking life-long satisfaction or a few moments of good cheer, you?ve got to move forward. We?ve interviewed the experts and found five steps to take toward a sunny mood（心情）：Over a 30-year period, University of Illinois researchers asked nearly 120,000 people how income, education, political participation, volunteer activities and close relationships affected their happiness. Reported Newsweek?s Sharon Begley on the findings, “The highest levels of happiness are found with the most stable and satisfying relationships.”

Singing aloud, talking to a stranger, raising your hand: all may increase a feeling of happiness,

according to a study from Wake Forest University. Participants（参与者）followed the development of their moods for two weeks and reported feeling happier when they were more outgoing and less happy when reserved or withdrawn.

The editors of forbes. Com gave $5 or $20 to 46 strangers by chance. Half the group was told to spend the money on themselves, while the other half was told to spend it on others. Those who?d whaed the wealth felt much happier at the end of the day than those who?d spent it on themselves. There was no difference in happiness between those who spent $5 or $20, suggesting that it?s not how much money you spend, but how you spend it, that inspires the spirit.

Studies from the Positive Psychology Center showed that discouraged people who wrote down three good things that happened to them each day for six months reported an improved attitude.

Drinking water really can help keep you cheerful. A small 2012 study from the University of Connecticut suggested that even slight dehydration（脱水）affected the moods of its female participants.
