A
Some people are so rude!
Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”? Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on Google? Don’t these people realize that they’re wasting your time?
Maybe I’m the rude one for not appreciating life’s little politeness. But many social agreed standards just don’t make sense to people drowning in digital communication.
In texts, you don’t have to declare who you are or even say hello; E-mail, too, is slower than a text; Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.
My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages, none of which I listened to. Exasperated, he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls. “Why are you leaving him voice mails?” my sister asked. “Just text him.”
In the age of the smartphone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a business’s phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, which can be easily found on Google Maps. But people still ask these things. And when you answer, they respond with a thank-you e-mail.
How to handle these differing standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thank-you message. Others, like me, want no reply.
The anthropologist (人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modem societies, the old can also learn from the young. Here’s hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.
1、What does the underlined word “exasperated” mean in the fifth paragraph?
A．Worried. B．Annoyed.
C．Surprised. D．Tired.
2、Why didn’t the writer reply to his father?
A．He didn’t want to talk with his father.
B．He liked text messages better.
C．He didn’t receive any voice mail messages.
D．He enjoyed checking his voice mails.
3、Which of the following does the writer agree to?
A．Dealing with voice mail should vary with each individual.
B．Declaring who they are or saying hello in texts is necessary
C．People needn’t learn from one another in traditional societies.
D．People needn’t turn to Google for help when in trouble.
4、What’s the best title of this passage?
A．Nowadays: what means should we use in communication
B．Nowadays: do you like leaving others a voice message
C．Nowadays: what should we do with text messages
D．Nowadays: do you need a thank-you message

B
Travel is one of the most exciting experiences a human being can have. Imagine how Italian traveler Marco Polo must have felt when he found himself on Chinese soil, seeing a way of life quite different from anything he’d seen before.
And how marvelous must it have been to listen to Zhang Qian when he returned to China from his journey through Central Asia and West Asia? His brain must have been packed with everything he’d seen and heard, leading to the founding of the Silk Road.
Some people have traveled all over the world, and travel is a way of life to them. They perhaps know what to expect before they travel. That’s why the best travel is when it’s for the first time. Imagine a person who has always wanted to travel to the United States. Of course, they’ve probably seen the Statue of Liberty a thousand times on TV, and the White House, and all the other famous sights. But none of that would compare to the thrill of looking out of the cabin window as the plane lands, watching the cities and streets of the real America come into view.
Although travel is often just for recreation, it’s also educational. We may not know that we are getting an education, but we still are.
We’re learning every day: new words in a new language, new people, and new ways of life. But this learning takes place in the school of the world, not the classroom. One of the lessons we learn is undoubtedly a moral one. As we get to know foreign places, we come to understand that there are many different ways to live, and that the way we live isn’t necessarily the best way. The British politician Benjamin Disraeli summed this up well when he said, “Travel teaches toleration.”
1、The author uses Marco Polo and Zhang Qian as examples to .
A．explain how the Silk Road was founded
B．present travel as an amazing experience
C．show how the way people travel has changed
D．describe important cultural exchanges in history
2、By saying “the best travel is when it’s for the first time”, the author means that .
A．one’s first trip is usually the most challenging
B．no other trip is better than one’s first trip
C．there is always much to learn on one’s first trip
D．people usually make better preparations for their first trip
3、The underlined word in paragraph 4 probably means .
A．learning B．knowledge
C．fun D．risk
4、According to the last two paragraphs, the author believes that .
A．traveling should be included in formal education
B．traveling improves people’s confidence in their lifestyle
C．a foreign journey may raise people’s cultural understanding
D．there is more to learn from adventures than being in classroom
