The project is now at more than 1,700 colleges in 36 countries.

Jo Clark, 46, said, “I don't know what she was playing at. I couldnt believe how rude she was. When did she have the right to give me a lecture on checkout manners? I wont be shopping there again!”But users of social media sites and Internet forums(论坛) were very angry that store gave in and the public appeared to be supporting the angry checkout worker. “Perhaps this is a turning point for mobile phone users everywhere. When chatting, keep your eyes on people around you. That includes people trying to serve you, other road users and especially people behind you in the stairs,” said a typical post.“Its time checkout staff fought back against these people constantly chatting on their phones. They can drive anyone crazy. Its rude and annoying. I often want to grab someones phone and throw it as far as I can, even though I am not a checkout girl, just a passer-by,” said another.Siobhan Freegard, founder of parenting site www. N said, “While this checkout operator doesnt have the authority to order customers to switch off their phones, you can see clearly how frustrated and angry she felt. No matter how busy you are, life is nicer when you and those around you have good manners.”24. According to Jo Clark, the checkout operator_. A. lacked the knowledge of checkout mannersB. played with a mobile phone while at workC. deserved praise for her modern mannersD. had no right to forbid her from using her mobile phone25.

The attitude of Siobhan Freegard towards the checkout operator was_.A. disapproving B. supportive C. neutral D. indifferent27. The passage is mainly about _.A. whether we should talk on our phones while being servedB. why we can talk on mobile phones while shoppingC. what good manners checkout operators should haveD. how we can develop good manners for mobile phone users C Have you ever done something that was really dangerous just because you thought it was safe? Maybe you did a dangerous trick on your bicycle or skateboard because you were wearing a helmet(头盔) and thought you couldnt get hurt. The psychology(心理)of this sort of behavior is called the Peltzman Effect(佩尔兹曼效应)，named after Sam Peltzman, professor of economics at the University of Chicago. Peltzman believes that those moments when people think they are the safest are the times when they act most dangerously. Peltzman said that people drove more dangerously when they wore seal belts(安全带).Driving a large four-wheel drive vehicle has a similar effect on drivers' behavior. Because drivers of large vehicles sit up higher and can see better, they feel they can make better judgments when they drive. They are better protected in accidents, so they act more dangerously. This makes driving more hazardous to other drivers. The Peltzman Effect isnt just limited to driving. In l972，the American Food and Drug Administration(FDA)passed a law requiring child safety caps on most medicine bottles. The safety caps were designed to prevent children from accidentally taking the medicine，especially painkillers such as aspirin. Requiring safety caps sounded like a great idea, but there was an unexpected side effect. Because the safety caps are so hard to take off, some people leave them off altogether. Worse, some parents leave the bottles where kids can reach them because they feel that it is safe because of the cap. A study on the Peltzman Effect showed that more than 3,500 children have been harmed by aspirin because of the safety caps. The Peltzman Effect describes how were likely to take more risks and act more dangerously when we feel safest. Whats more, the effects of these behaviors can be quite different from what we expect.28. What is the Peltzman Effect? A. People behave less safely when they feel safe. B. People feel safest when they are under protection. C. Something that seems dangerous turns out to be safe. D. People who act dangerously are likely to be together. 29. What does the underlined word “hazardous”in Paragraph 2 mean? A. Interesting. B. Expensive. C. Dangerous. D. Important.30. Why do some people leave the safety caps of medicine bottles open?A. The caps dont work at all. B. The caps cant be opened easily.C. The bottles are out of the reach of children. D. The bottles without caps are less attractive to kids.31. What would be the best title for the text? A. Unsafe Safety Measures B. Types of Decision Making C. Peoples Fear of Taking Risks D. Different Behaviors of People in Danger D About this time every year, I get very nostalgic(怀旧的). Walking through my neighborhood on a fall afternoon reminds me of a time not too long ago when sounds of children filled the air, children playing games on a hill, and throwing leaves around in the street below. I was one of those children, carefree and happy. I live on a street that is only one block long. I have lived on the same street for sixteen years. I love my street. One side has six houses on it, and the other has only two houses, with a small hill in the middle and a huge cottonwood tree on one end. When I think of home, I think of my street. Only I see it as it was before. Unfortunately things change. One day, not long ago, I looked around and saw how different everything has become. Life on my street will never be the same because neighbors are quickly grown old, friends are growing up and leaving, and the city is planning to destroy my precious hill and sell the property to contractors. It is hard for me to accept that many of my wonderful neighbors are growing old and wont be around much longer. I have fond memories of the couple across the street, who sat together on their porch swing almost every evening, the widow next door who yelled at my brother and me for being too loud, and the crazy old man in a black suit who drove an old car. In contrast to those people, the people I see today are very old neighbors who have seen better days. The man in the black suit says he wants to die, and another neighbor just sold his house and moved into a nursing home. The lady who used to yell at us is too tired to bother any more, and the couple across the street rarely go out to their front porch these days. It is difficult to watch these precious people as they near the end of their lives because at once I thought they would live forever. The “comings and goings” of the younger generation of my street are now mostly “goings” as friends and peers move on. Once upon a time, my life and the lives of my peers revolved around home. The boundary of our world was the gutter at the end of the street. We got pleasure from playing night games or from a breathtaking ride on a tricycle. Things are different now, as my friends become adults and move on. Children who rode tricycles now drive cars. The kids who once played with me now have new interests and values as they go their separate ways. Some have gone away to college like me, a few got married, two went into the army, and one went to prison. Watching all these people grow up and go away makes me long for the good old days. Perhaps the biggest change on my street is the fact that the city is going to turn my precious hill into several lots for now homes. For sixteen years, the view out of my kitchen window has been a view of that hill. The hill was a fundamental part of my childhood life; it was the hub of social activity for the children of my street. We spent hours there building forts, sledding, and playing tag. The view out of my kitchen window now is very different; it is one of tractors and dump trucks tearing up the hill. When the hill goes, the neighborhood will not be the same. It is a piece of my childhood. It is a visual reminder of being a kid. Without the hill, my street will be just another pea in the pod.There was a time when my street was my world, and I thought my world would never change. But something happened. People grow up, and people gr
