【文章內容簡介】 rain 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?

For example, most of us remember our parents39。 telling us to eat more of certain foods of not to do certain things. Is there any truth in these teachings? Some of them agree with present medical thinking, but others have not passed the test of time. Did your mother ever tell you to eat your carrots because they are good for your eyes? Scientists now report that eating carrots can help prevent a serious eye disease called macular degeneration. Eating just one carrot a day can reduce the possibility of getting this disease by 40%. Garlic(蒜）is good for you ,too. It can kill the type of virus that causes colds. Unfortunately, not all of Mom39。s advice passed the test of medical studies. For example, generations of children have been told not to go swimming within an hour after eating. But research suggests that there is no danger in doing so. Do sweets cause tooth problems? Well, yes and no. Sticky sweets made with grains tend to cause more problems than sweets made with simple sugars. Even though science can tell us that some of our traditional beliefs don39。t hold water, there is still a lot of truth in the old wives39。 tales. After much of this knowledge has been accumulated (積累) from thousands of years of experience in family health care. We should respect this body of knowledge even as we search for clear scientific support to prove it true or false.（1）Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A.Eating garlic is good for our eyes.B.Carrots prevent people from catching colds.C.Swimming after a meal is dangerous.D.Sticky sweets tend to damage our teeth.（2）According to the passage, what does the underlined phrase hold water mean?
