There was a time when, if a lady got onto a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer her his seat. No more, though. Today, a gentleman will probably look out of the window, or, if he feels a bit guilty(内疚), hides behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off.
You can't entirely blame(完全责备)men for this change in manners. The days are gone when women could be referred to as the weaker sex. A whole generation(代)of women has grown up demanding equality with men; not just equality in jobs or education, but in social attitudes(态度). Hold a door open for some women and you're likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as inferiors(能力低下的人), unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for a meal and she'll probably insist on paying her share of the bill; though on second thoughts perhaps that's not such a bad idea.
It's no wonder, then, that men have given up some of the gestures of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, automatic male (men) politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings.
Maybe that's worth standing in the bus or train.
1.The new generation of women wants to be ________.
A．treated not as the weaker sex
B．treated as the weaker sex

B．Girls don't want you to pay for meal at all.
C．Some women may criticized (批评) you if you show too much politeness to them.
D．A girl may be unhappy if you insist on paying her share of the bill.
3.From this passage, we know that ________.
A．women need true consideration of their needs and feelings
B．men have given up some politeness they used to show to women
C．women often get angry if you are polite to them
D．women should stand in the bus or train
4.The passage mainly tells us ________.
A．gentlemen and ladies have equal rights on a bus or train
B．ladies wonder why gentlemen offer their seats to them
C．gentlemen consider politeness to be more important than ladies do
D．the change in manners has taken place between men and women

My roommate Lily was well organized, while I was not. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled (贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Lily got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Lily came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming. “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Lily answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled (爬) under her covers, sobbing. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Lily had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”
Lily and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.

To get to the tennis court, Conner Stroud has to push his wheelchair there.
The 15-yea-old from North Carolina, US was born without legs. But when he picks up his racquet(球拍) and begins to hit a ball, you quickly see that the young man just want to win.
Stroud began playing tennis at age 5 at the small tennis club his parents own. For years, he played against able-bodied players by putting rubber on the stumps (残余部分) of his legs. Though he was a foot (30.48cm) or two shorter than many of the players he played against, he won a number of matches. He became well-known enough that he got to meet Rafael Nadal, his favorite player at the US Open in 2013.
“The most important thing is that he’s happy,” Nadal told reports about Stroud after that 15-minute meeting. “He’s playing tennis... That’s a great example of being happy even if life doesn’t give you everything.”
Stroud started playing wheelchair tennis at 13 and now he is No 1 in the US.
Earlier this summer, he played for the US in the world’s biggest junior wheelchair team tennis event --- the World Team Cup. He played six matches and won five of them as the US won the cup for the first time since 2000.
“He is a polite boy , but he will rip（撕扯）your heart out trying to beat you,” Jason Harnett, a United States Tennis Association coach, said of Stroud. “You see that attitude in a lot of the best players, whether they are able-bodied or disabled.
Teenage players can often get disappointed and angry. Racquets sometimes get thrown. Players shout at themselves after missed shots. Stroud never does that.
“ I just try to stay positive,” Stroud said. “After every point, I try to say I’m going to win the next point, or the next game, or the next game, or the whole match.
“ There’s always room to be positive . You can always win another time.”
1.How is Conner Stroud different from other tennis players?
A. He was disabled in a car accident.
B. He has been coached by his father since the age of 5.
C. He is too short to be a tennis player
D. He was born disabled , yet he plays tennis well.
2.What impressed Rafael Nadal the most about Conner Stroud?
A. His desire to win the match.
B. His happiness about playing tennis.
C. His faith in life, even though he is disabled.
D. The training he went through to play tennis.
3.Which of the following words best described Conner Stroud?
A. Positive B. Independent
C. Humorous D. Considerate
