A woman had picked up her phone and begun a loud 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? A.He knows how to speak to rude people.B.He behaved improperly and spoke loudly on the train.C.He lost his temper due to other people39。s rudeness.D.He reacted to a woman39。s rude behavior wrongly.(2)What does fueled by social media mean in Paragraph 3?
