1 . Déjà vu， the strange feeling of having been to this very place or done this very thing before when you know you haven't， happens to most people at some point in their lives. The expression comes from the French， meaning "already seen".

My friend Shannon knew that she was going to marry her husband the day they met. She had dated a lot of men following her divorce， but none of them felt right. Then， she met Bob. There was something about the way he smiled， his voice and the shape of his hands， that made her think that they had known each other before. After talking it was clear that their paths had never crossed， but after their first lunch date， they became inseparable. What Shannon and Bob immediately felt for each other was more than just physical chemistry. It was a natural understanding and a depth of closeness that usually arises after couples are together for many years. They were married two months after they met and have been together now for ten years.

I'm often asked how to tell the difference between a feeling of déjà vu when we first meet someone and all attraction stemming from an addictive obsession （痴迷）.

There is a strong tendency among addicts to try to "fix" themselves with love， rushing prematurely into relationships inspired only by strong physical attraction. They often have nothing to do with déjà vu， but stem rather from a basic emptiness that longs to be filled. There is no true bond between the people involved，they hardly know each other， and these partnership attempts fail miserably when the pink glow of newness wears off. However，mostly déjà vu experiences convey a quality that is quiet and solid. The possibility of having a déjà vu is existing in partnerships of all kinds，particularly the more intimate ones. It can occur in business， friendships and family， often leading to outcomes that can impact the direction of our life.

Déjà vus can take place anywhere， at any time and with anyone. Don't let these possibilities pass you by. Summoning the courage to take a chance and act， to have faith in what is not yet visible， will make the experience your own.

4 . Recently, as the British doctor Robert Winston took a train from London to Manchester, he found himself becoming steadily angry. A woman had picked up her phone and begun a loud conversation, which would last an unbelievable hour. Furious, Winston began to tweet about the woman. He took her picture and sent it to his more than 40,000 followers.

When the train arrived at its destination, Winston rushed out. He’d had enough of the woman’s rudeness. But the press were now waiting for her on the platform. And when they showed her Winston’s messages, she used just one word to describe Winston’s actions: rude.

Winston’s tale is something of a microcosm(缩影) of our age of increasing rudeness, fueled by social media. What can we do to fix this?

Studies have shown that rudeness spreads quickly, almost like the common cold. Just witnessing rudeness makes it far more likely that we, in turn, will be rude later on. The only way to avoid it is to deal with it face to face. We must say, “Just stop.” For Winston, that would have meant approaching the woman, telling her that her conversation was frustrating other passengers and politely asking her to speak more quietly or make the call at another time.

The rage and injustice we feel at the rude behavior of a stranger can drive us to do odd things. In my own research, surveying 2,000 adults, I discovered that the acts of revenge people had taken ranged from the ridiculous to the disturbing. Winston did shine a spotlight on the woman’s behavior — but from afar, in a way that shamed her.

We must instead combat rudeness head on. When we see it occur in a store, we must step up and say something. If it happens to a colleague, we must point it out. We must defend strangers in the same way we’d defend our best friends. But we can do it with grace, by handling it without a trace of aggression and without being rude ourselves. Because once rude people can see their actions through the eyes of others, they are far more likely to end that strain themselves. As this tide of rudeness rises, civilization needs civility.

1. What can you learn about Robert Winston from the passage?

A．He knows how to speak to rude people.

B．He behaved improperly and spoke loudly on the train.

C．He lost his temper due to other people’s rudeness.

D．He reacted to a woman’s rude behavior wrongly.

2. What does “fueled by social media” mean in Paragraph 3?

A．Rude behavior is common on social media.

B．Rudeness can be avoided through social media.

C．People can easily get away through social media.

D．Social media may spread and cause rudeness.

3. According to the writer, how should you respond when you meet rude people?

A．Record them and post it on the Internet.

B．Point it out in a polite and skillful way.

C．Do nothing but wait for other people to fix it.

D．Pay them back by doing equally disturbing things.

4. Which of the following statement is true about the last paragraph?

A．We can only point out rudeness from familiar people.

B．Rudeness and manners can hardly coexist in civilized society.

C．Both strangers and acquaintances deserve our friendly warning.

D．Rude people can’t see their rudeness through others’ eyes.

5 . The most universal facial expression is the smile --its function is to show happiness and put people at ease. A smile says, " I like you. You make me happy

That's why dogs make such a hit. They are so glad to see us that they almost jump out of their skins.     1    

A baby’s. smile has the same effect. Have you ever been in a doctor's, waiting room and looked around at all the sad faces waiting impatiently. to be seen? There were six or seven patients waiting when a young woman came in with a nine-month-old baby. She sat down next to a gentleman who was more than a little impatient about the long wait for service. The baby just looked up at him with that great big smile that is so characteristic of babies,    2    . Soon he struck up a conversation with the woman about her baby and his grand-children and then the entire reception room joined in, and the boredom and tension were changed into a pleasant and enjoyable experience     3    . Telephone companies throughout the US have a program called “phone power” which is offered to employees who use the telephone for selling their services or products. In this program they suggest that you smile when talking on the phone. Your “smile” comes through in your voice.

You don’t feel like smiling?     4    . If you are alone, force yourself to whistle or hum a tune or sing. Act as if you were already happy, and that will tend to make you happy.

Your smile is a messenger of your goodwill.    5    .To someone who has seen a dozen people frown or turn their faces away, your smile is like the sun breaking through the clouds Especially when someone is under pressure from his bosses, his customers, his teachers or parents or children, a smile can help him realize that all is not hopeless that there is joy in the world.

10 . Books allow us a glance into the mind of the authors,but what if we could make a direct connection instead? What if we could ask specific questions about their experiences,receive instant answers,and hear their stories first—hand?

Now,thanks to a library in Denmark,you can check out a person as you use a book to find out more about their unique stories.

At the Human Library,you go through some titles and pick one you’d like to know more about.When you decide on a title,you are taken to a discussion area to meet your human book and have the next 30 minutes with your“book”to learn about it.The downside is,unlike a book,that you don’t take that person home with you.Your“borrowed”human could be anyone—a funeral director,politician,or even a child—with an incredible story to tell.

The Human Library Organization came to be in Copenhagen,Denmark in 2000.Ronni Abergel,his brother Dany,and some colleagues hosted a four-day event during a major Northern European festival,hoping to raise awareness about violence among youth.After the Success.Abergel founded the Human Library Organization.Since then,it has spread to more than 50 countries around the world.

Though there are a few permanent human libraries,most aren’t places at all,but events.Even if many do take place at physical libraries,you don’t need a library card—anyone can come and be part of the experience.All that’s needed is people who want to tell their stories,and people who are willing to listen.
