There are many people you are well advised to treat kindly: Your child’s teacher, your husband or wife, your boss and so on.
Until now, that best-behavior-required list has not included your Uber（优步） driver, or taxi drivers. Old thinking: Hey, they’re here to serve me. I don’t have to make a special effort to be nice to them.
Dangerously wrong.
A recent New York Times story told the educative tale of a Uber passenger, Hussein Kanji, who says he’s really no
t sure how he made his driver angry. All he knows is that his driver-generated rating(评分) went way down and the wait for a Uber car became hours instead of minutes.
Be careful, Uberians: If you’re feeling angry when you get into the back seat and you give your driver the silent treatment, your reputation may get damaged in the driver-generated ratings. If you’re among the people described as “generally negative” by one Uber driver, watch out.
Uber isn’t the only front on this battlefield. The ability to rate someone’s service is one of the successes of the Internet. It helps everyone weed out people with bad attitudes and worse habits.
These ratings should cut both ways. A while back, the auction(竞买) site eBay made many of its sellers angry when it started preventing them from giving negative ratings to buyers. Until then, sellers and buyers had threatened each other with negative reviews. Too many negative reviews could get you thrown off.
Then eBay shifted the balance of power to buyers. Sellers can still write a bad comment, but the overall rating cannot be anything but positive. Thus eBay has become a place where all is for the best. Think positive!
We know that being nice to people all day can be exhausting. We’ve also seen people who shout at those who don’t measure up to their expectations for service.
Uber is reportedly about to spread worldwide. It is a welcome competitor because it fits the needs of customers in a new way. We know Uber is a two-way street. But drivers who get too picky may end up with no passengers.
Everyone, behave!
1.Negative driver-generated ratings mean that ________.
A. Uber drivers will never serve those customers
B. drivers are too slow to pick up customers
C. customers have to wait for a longer time when using Uber cars
D. customers have done damage to Uber cars
2.The underlined phrase “weed out” (Para. 6) can best be replaced by _____.
A. hate B. get rid of
C. value D. win back
3.The example of eBay in the article is probably meant to show that ________.
A. in the Internet age, buyers have always had the advantage of ratings
B. the power of ratings should be given to both sides of a service
C. the main reason why eBay has become a successful auction site
D. controversy between customers and sellers has only come about recently
4.The author has written this article to ________.
A. show that when using Uber, your behavior directly affects the service you get
B. prove that giving and receiving bad ratings can influence your life
C. suggest that tools like Uber and eBay can reflect what kind of person you are
D. stress that both customers and service providers should be respectful and positive

I’m Cindy, a student for electronic engineering. To tell to you the truth, it wasn’t my choice---it was my parents. I wanted to study psychology and they said I wouldn’t get the good job. I wish I will not have accepted by the school to do engineering. I’m sitting in the library now and I ought to be doing some physics problem but instead I’m reading Erich Fromm’s Escape from Freedom. I think my parents should read this as good, so they would understand us better.

There’s something about Minot that I’m always going to carry with me. When it got hit last year by the worst flooding in its history, there was this feeling of helplessness. You just watched this water slowly rise and flood the city. It was heartbreaking. But this is a community of people that are extremely strong and not afraid to roll up their sleeves and work to get it back to normal.
I’ve tried to bring as much awareness to Minot as I can, and raise as much money as I can. We held a concert last year, where my wife singer Fergie talked her band the Black Eyed Peas into coming in and doing a benefit concert. From it we raised $2 million towards the rebuilding effort, which was really cool. We won a contest for Oak Park as well, to start rebuilding on that.
Roosevelt Park Zoo is one of my oldest memories. I remember having a birthday party there as a kid. We used to go to look at the monkeys and other animals in the summer when it was open. But after last year’s flood, it was almost washed away, and they’ve got go start from scratch. I think the $25,000 dollars is a great start, but we’re going to have to raise a lot more to get it back to right. Luckily, the community itself is developing, so it’s just a matter of those doing whatever they can to help can to help the community to get it back to normal. However, it’s going to be a number of years for a third of the homes were lost. That will take a long time to heal, and if anyone in the world can get through it, it’s the people in Minot.

It seems that electronic devices just keep getting smaller. Scientists in the United States have announced the creation of the first transistor with only two dimensions（二维）.
A transistor is a small electronic device that transfers or carries electronic current. Scientists hope these new 2D transistors will be used for building high-resolution（高分辨率）displays that need very little energy.
Two groups of scientists created these 2D transistors. They report that the transistors are only a few atoms thick.
Usually transistors are made with the element silicon（硅）. Computer processors, memory chips, TV screens and other electronic devices contain billions of silicon-based transistors. But these very small electrical parts have certain limitations.
Dimitris Ioannou is an electrical engineering professor at George Mason University. He says the traditional transistor has been improved as much as it can be.He adds that researchers have been looking for new materials with special features and they want transistors to be seen through and soft.
“If the layers are very thin, the transistor can become flexible, so it doesn't have to be rigid（坚硬的）, like it would be in a silicon chip. So people can think of applications like wearable electronics, television screens and other things,” said Ioannou.
These new transistors can also carry higher current. They also can move the current much faster than traditional transistors. This is important for high-definition screens.
Dimitris Ioannou says the scientific success could prove very useful in the future. "Now, how good and how useful it will be, it's still in the stage of research, but it certainly is an advance," said Ioannou.
1.Which of the following statements about the newly created transistor is TRUE?
A. They are expected to be used in high-resolution displays.
B. The transistors are made with the element silicon.
C. They are rigid, just like traditional transistors.
D. They have already been put into actual use.
2.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 mean?
A. The traditional transistors have been changed into two-dimensional ones.
B. Many of the traditional transistors have been improved over the years.
C. The traditional transistor has been developed to its fullest.
D. The traditional transistor has been developed quite well.
3.What is Dimitris Ioannou's attitude towards the creation of the new transistors?
A. Negative. B. Neutral.
C. Indifferent. D. Positive.
