“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more ‘time poor’ than ever before，”says Patsy Rowe，“ Manners_have_fallen_off_the_radar(雷达)．”Due to our strong attraction to electronic equipment it is a wonder more people don’t wake up each morning and greet the singing birds with a complaint(抱怨)about the noise.Here are some examples of rudeness.
Some people prefer to do almost everything over the internet.To them，dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward.It feels very slow because humans don’t work at 4G speeds.When you have dinner with friends，you will often notice someone paying more attention to his mobile phone.We have programmed ourselves to think that every new message brings life­changing news，so taking calls and checking our texts are more important than talking to the people we are with.What is worse，some people even tend to send anonymous(匿名的) rude messages by email.
However，rudeness is never acceptable.Don’t assume it is OK to be rude if the person you’re in touch with won’t recognize you.If you have something awful to say，have the courage to face the person and say it，write a letter or email and sign it，or forget it.Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.
We shouldn’t blame technology for our shortcomings.Technology is here to help us，but we should not allow it to take over our lives.An important step ia acknowledging our shortcomings.People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we’d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.

(答案→)C 解析：本文为一篇议论文。随着电子产品和网络的普及，人们越来越匆忙，从而变得更加粗鲁，越来越不注重礼貌。【小题1】解析：选C。句意理解题。文章开门见山地提出了论点“People are ruder today because they are rushed and more‘time poor’than ever before…”，画线句子是对上述观点的一个形象比喻，是对上句观点的展开论述。故选C项。【小题2】解析：选A。推理判断题。根据第二段内容，尤其是第二、三句“To them，dealing with an actual human is like an evolutionary step backward.It feels very slow because humans don’t work at 4G speeds.”可知选A项。【小题3】解析：选B。作者观点题。根据第三段最后一句“Upsetting people with unsigned messages is cruel and disgusting.”可知答案应选B项。【小题4】解析：选A。推理判断题。B项是对最后一段首句“We shouldn’t blame technology for our shortcomings.”的误读。根据最后一句“People spend a lot of time pointing out bad manners but it would be even more helpful if we’d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.”可知C项不正确。D项是对最后一段第二句“Technology is here to help us，but we should not allow it to take over our lives.”的误读，如果我们人类听之任之，这种情况就可能出现，如果我们致力于改变这一不好的现象，则这种情况就不会出现。根据最后一句中的“...but it would be even more helpful if we’d publicly acknowledge good manners when we see them.”可知A项正确。

这个答案应该是对的
