　　四、閱讀理解

　　A woman:heads into apopular New York City coffee shop on a cold: winter rooming. Just ahead of her, a man drops a few papers. The woman pauses to help gather them. A clerk ata busy store thanks a customer who has just bought something. "Enjoy" the young woman says, smiling widely. "Have a nice day." She sounds like she really means it. These arethe common situations we may see every: day.

　　However, in her best-selling book Talk to the Hand, Lynne Truss argues that common good manners such as saying "Excuse me" almost no longer exist. There are certainly plenty who would agree with her. According to one recent study, 70 percent of the U.S. adults said people are ruder now than they were 20 years ago.

　　Is it really true? We decided to find out if good manners are really hard to see. In this politeness study, reporters were sent to many cities in the world. They performed three experiments: "door tests" (would anyone hold the door open for them?); "paper drops" (who would help them gather a pile of "accidentally" dropped papers?); and "service tests" (which salesclerks would thank them for a purchase)

　　In New York, 60 tests (20 of each type)were done. Along the way, the reporters met all types of people: men and women of different races, ages, professions , and income levels. And guess what? In the end, four out of every five :people they met passed their: politeness test making New York the most polite city in the study.

　　31. What is found in the study?

　　A. More people passed the tests in New York than in any other cities.

　　B. Different kinds of people acted differently in the New York tests.

　　C. Four out of five people passed the politeness test in the study.

　　D. Manypeople in the experiment passed the tests by guessing.

　　32. What does Lynne Truss argue in Talk to the Hand?.

　　A. People are not as polite as they used to.

　　B. "Excuse me" is not welcome nowadays.

　　C. Of all the adults in the US 70% are rude,

　　D. People don't care about manners any more.

　　33. What is TRUE about the politeness study discussed in the passage?

　　A. The study was reported in many cities of the world.

　　B. New York was the most suitable city for the experiment.

　　C. Sixty tests were designed to see if people are polite to each other.

　　D. Experiments were performed to see if common good manners exist.

　　參考譯文：

　　一個女人：在寒冷的冬天去紐約咖啡店。就在她前面，一個人扔了幾張紙。這個女人停下來幫助收集它們。店里的店員感謝剛剛買了東西的顧客。年輕女人說：“盡情地笑吧。”祝你度過愉快的一天。這些是我們每天都可以看到的常見情況。

　　然而，在她最暢銷的書《與人交談》中，Lynne Truss認為，諸如“對不起”這樣的好習慣幾乎不再存在。肯定有很多人會同意她的觀點。根據最近的一項研究，70%的美國成年人說現在的人比20年前更粗魯。

　　這是真的嗎?我們決定找出好的舉止是否真的很難看到。在這項禮貌研究中，記者被派往世界上許多城市。他們做了三個實驗：“門測試”(有人會為他們開門嗎?)“紙滴”(誰會幫助他們收集一堆“意外”的廢紙?)和“服務測試”(哪些店員會感謝他們的購買?)

　　在紐約，進行了60次測試(每種類型的20次)。一路上，記者遇到了各種類型的人：不同種族、年齡、職業和收入水平的男女。你猜怎么著?最后，每五人中就有四人通過他們的禮貌測試，使紐約成為學習中最有禮貌的城市。
