    Facebook and Twitter have become a significant threat to marriage – with social media now a factor in an increasing number of divorce cases, say lawyers.

    One in seven married individuals have considered divorce because of their spouse’s（配偶） postings of Facebook or other online sites, according to research. A similar percentage admit that they search online for evidence of their spouse’s disloyalty, while nearly one in five say they have daily quarrels because of the way their husband or wife uses social media. The research was assigned by law firm Gordon in response to an increase in the number of its clients who said that Facebook, Skype, Snapchat, Twitter or other social media sites had played a part in their divorce.

    Andrew Newbury, of law firm Gordon, said: ‘Social media is the new marriage. Five years ago Facebook was rarely mentioned in the context of a marriage ending, but now it has become common.” Social media, specific pictures and posts on Facebook, are now being routinely raised in divorces.’ The survey by Censuswide among 2011 husbands and wives, found the most common reasons for checking their spouse’s social media accounts were to discover who they were talking to, who they were meeting and where they were going. A quarter of the married people said the resulting suspicions led to quarrels at least once a week, and 17 percent said such quarrels were daily events.

    Arguments were caused by contact with former partners, by the sending of secret messages, and by the posting of ‘inappropriate’ pictures. Some 14 percent said they looked at their spouse’s social media with the specific intention of detecting evidence of adultery（出轨）.

    1.The underlined word “disloyalty” in Paragraph 2 probably means _______.

    A. affection B. discomfort

    C. dishonesty D. violence

    2.What might checking spouse’s social media accounts result in?

    A. The couple let out secrets quickly.

    B. The couple lost trust between each other.

    C. All the couples quarreled at least once a week.

    D. The couple felt comfortable about their relationship.

    3.By saying “Social media is the new marriage minefield”, Andrew means that _______.

    A. a new marriage needs social media field

    B. social media is a good thing to marriage

    C. social media is a new field of communication

    D. marriage ending will be caused by social media

    4.What can be the best title for the passage?

    A. Facebook, a Multifunctional Tool

    B. Social Media, a Threat to Marriage

    C. Posting Pictures is Killing Marriage

    D. Argument about Social Media Sites

    One day I was waiting in line to check out at Wal-Mart. Like a lot of people who want to get through a checkout line, my thoughts were on speed, nothing more. The line I was standing in wasn’t moving as quickly as I wanted, and I glanced toward the cashier.

    There stood a man in his seventies. Of average build, he wore glasses and a nice smile. I thought, “Well, he’s an old guy and it probably takes him a little longer to get the chores done.”

    For the next few minutes I watched him. He greeted every customer before he began scanning the items they were purchasing. Sure, his words were the usual, “How’s it going?” But he did something different—he actually listened to people. Then he would respond to what they had said and engage them in brief conversation.

    I thought it was strange, but I guess I had grown accustomed to people asking me how I was doing simply out of a robotic conversational habit. After a while, you don’t give any thought to the question and just mumble something back. I could say, “I just found out I have six months to live,’’ and someone would reply, “Have a great day!’’

    This old cashier had my attention. He seemed genuine (真诚的）about wanting to know how people were feeling. And after giving them the change, the old cashier looked the customers in the eyes. “I sure want to thank you for shopping here today, ’’he told them. “You will have a great day. Bye-bye.”

    The looks on the faces of the customers were priceless. There were smiles and some shy grins (露齿而笑).All had been touched by his simple gesture in a place they never expected.

    1.The author glanced at the cashier because of ______ .

    A. the look of the old cashier

    B. the slow speed of the checkout line

    C. the smile on the cashier’s face

    D. the long line of customers

    2. In the fourth paragraph, the author intends to tell us ______ .

    A. people usually have robotic conversations

    B. no one cared about his health

    C. people are not friendly to each other

    D. he was suffering from a serious disease

    3.What is special about the old cashier according to the author? He ______ .

    A. worked hard at his old age

    B. had usual conversations with customers

    C. gave customers the right change

    D. listened to people attentively

    4.How did the customers probably feel after meeting the old cashier?

    A. Quite ashamed of themselves.

    B. Completely puzzled.

    C. Unexpectedly moved.

    D. Curious but happy

    Traveling without a map in different countries，I find out about different “styles” of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”

    Foreign tourists are often confused in Japan because most streets there don’t have name signs：in Japan，people use landmarks in their directions instead of street names．For example，the Japanese will say to travelers，“Go straight down to the corner．Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market．The post office is across from the bus stop．”

    People in Los Angeles，the US，have no idea of distance on the map：they measure distance by time，not miles．“How far away is the post office?” you ask．“Oh,” they answer，“it’s about five minutes from here．” You don’t understand completely，“Yes，but how many miles away is it，please?” To this question you won’t get an answer，because most probably they don’t know it themselves．

    People in Greece sometimes do not even try to give directions because tourists seldom understand the Greek language．Instead，a Greek will often say,“ Follow me．”Then he’ll lead you through the streets of the city to the post office．

    Sometimes a person doesn’t know the answer to your question．What happens in the situation? A New Yorker might say，“Sorry, I have no idea．”But in Yucatan，Mexico，no one answers “I don’t know．” People there believe that “I don’t” is impolite．They usually give an answer，but often a wrong one．So a tourist can get lost very easily in Yucatan!

    However，one thing will help you everywhere in the world．It’s body language．

    1.Which of the following is probably an example of Japanese directions?

    A．“Go south two miles．Turn west and then go another mile．”

    B．“Turn right at the hospital and go past a school．”

    C．“The post office is about five minutes from here．”

    D．“The post office is at Street Kamira．”

    2.Why don’t people in Los Angeles give directions in miles?

    A．They use landmarks in their directions instead of distance．

    B．They prefer to lead you the way．

    C．They often have no idea of distance measured by miles．

    D．They prefer to use body language．

    3.How do Greeks give directions?

    A．Using street names

    B．Using landmarks

    C．Leading people the way

    D．Giving people a wrong direction

    4.Where is Yucatan?

    A．In the USA B．In Japan C．In Greece D．In Mexico
