A.Where Are Our Manners B.The Long-forgotten Golden Rue C.Give up your Seat D.Sophisticated TechnologyDMary Buendia once spent a day in an airplane, looking for a cat.She didn't find it that day. The plane flew around all over the world for three weeks with the cat on board. She finally found it in the cargo hold and sent it home first-class.Another time, she found two suitcases full of birds from Turkey.But her strangest experience was when she pulled a snake out of a man's pants. Mary Buendia is an animal health inspector at JFK Airport in New York.She takes care of all the animals that pass through the airport and checks that they are healthy.In the Animal Health Center, there are areas for dogs, cats, reptiles, birds, and fish. There is also an area for very big animals.The biggest they ever had was a black rhino."It was no problem," she says. At the center, they receive all types of animals―monkeys, wild cats, poisonous spiders.It's impossible for one person to know about all of these, but there are 20 people working with Mary.Between them, they understand how to take care of the animals.She recently had to feed a group of toucans, which are rare birds."Luckily," she says, "there is a supermarket nearby which is open 24 hours.I had to go at 2 a.m.to buy bananas." Mary often works at night. "It's quiet between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m.," she says, "because we don't have night flights. We try to give the animals a quiet night." Mary clearly loves her job. "You never know what the day will bring," she says, and goes off to feed the birds. 查看更多

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。

  There is a big question making the rounds among the parents at my daughter's class.Should the kids refer to the parents’ friends as “Mr.Jones” or “Mrs.Smith”, rather than using their first names? I was quite shocked, having come from a home where it would have been unheard of to refer to one of my parents’ friends by their first names.This was reserved for only the closest of family friends and relatives, and even they always had “Aunt” or “Uncle” in front their name.

  Respect is something that is earned.Unlike many of the other virtues we try to nurture(培养)in our kids, respect is a bit more complicated.It is not only necessary when dealing well with others, but the virtue of self-respect is critical for kids to succeed and feel good about themselves and their choices throughout their lives.

  There are several factors that can have a big impact on kids and their ability to be respectful.The first one to consider is manners.Calling adults by their surnames, setting proper examples during sporting events and while driving, and how we talk to each other in our homes all can have an enormous effect on a child's concept of respect and how important it is.Many of these seemingly trivial(微小的)ideas have become almost outdated, but one should seriously consider the value of these ideas before casting them aside.It is easy to become unaware of these behaviors.Try to keep track of how often your child is subjected to this kind of disrespect.

  The media, as you may have guessed, plays a large part in the increase in disrespect.Movies are equally to blame, with a PG movie often containing an abundant amount of profane language.

  These factors and others all contribute to an alarming increase in disrespect in society.If we don't step in and change course, we will find living in a morally respectful culture unlikely.

s I crammed myself onto a crowded train this morning, I noticed there was a very pregnant(怀孕的) woman standing near me, jammed in tightly and hanging on for dear life.I looked at the passengers sitting in the seats that are supposed to be surrendered to the elderly, physically challenged, and other people who need to sit, Not one of them even looked up; everyone was too absorbed in what they were listening to, reading, or watching to even notice the pregnant passenger.

Over the past few years, there have been countless discussions on minding our manners within our new modes of communication.But while we’ve been debating the dos and don’ts of technology etiquette(礼节), it appears that many of us have forgotten some of the old school manners that have nothing to do with a keyboard or a monitor, but have everything to do with the long-forgotten Golden Rule.Maybe technology has eroded our brains so much that we can never go back to those golden days.

“Giving up your seat to someone is so easy.Even when people don’t accept your offer, I think it’s nice to get up and stay standing so they know you’re sincere. The more that we become the good example, the more it will catch on.” Lizzie Post, says great-great granddaughter of Emily Post .

Sophisticated technology doesn’t mean that good manners have to be a thing of the past. In fact, Post says she defines good manners using three simple, everyday principles: consideration, respect, and honesty. “Apply those to any situation and toward all the people involved including yourself and the solution will make sense.”
