【文章內容簡介】 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. He39。d had enough of the woman39。s rudeness. But the press were now waiting for her on the platform. And when they showed her Winston39。s messages, she used just one word to describe Winston39。s actions: rude. Winston39。s tale is something of a microcosm(縮影) 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 mon 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 woman39。s behavior — but from afar, in a way that shamed her. We must instead bat 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 we39。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?

They offer to put up travelers free of charge and help them on their ways. At first, it sounded unbelievable. I mean, inviting strangers into one39。s home for one or two nights? Give me a break. However, I was intrigued. I decided to investigate. The only way to truly learn about this phenomenon was to dive in. So I planned a trip to Finland, a country I39。ve always wanted to explore. I would couch surf at every stop there. If ever any anxiety existed when stepping into the unknown, it disappeared when my first host met me at the train station. Ari looked like my idea of a typical Finn: tall and blueeyed. Finns were also supposed to be famously reserved (寡言少語的). Ari was anything but. He was a live wire, giving me an enthusiastic wele and hiking with me to his apartment, where he showed me the sleeper sofa, served me tea, and engaged me in warm conversations. He also handed me a key to e and go as I pleased. If this was what couch surfing was all about－trust and friendship－then I had gotten off to a good start. As I boarded my next train to continue my journey, I began to think about this couchsurfing idea. What urged these people to open their homes to strangers? I concluded that there was a desire to lend a hand to likeminded folks who might enrich their own lives. Seven cities in 14 days. Seven hosts. Seven new friends. If couch surfing taught me anything, it39。s this: Most people are good and generous. Where will couch surfing take me next? Who knows? But I can39。t wait to find out.（1）Which of the following best explains intrigued underlined in the second paragraph? A.Relaxed.B.Disgusted.C.Interested.D.Embarrassed.（2）What can we know about Ari? A.He was reserved like most Finns.
