Remember to be poli ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )te when taking New York subway. Those 16 took New York subway 17 their feet up on the seats were costly fined last year, police said on Tuesday.
More than 7,000 r ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )iders on New York City subways were ticketed last year for putting their feet on the seats or 18 (take) up too much space, under a law that makes bad manners a crime. The offenses, which ranged from putting a bag on a seat to blocking a door to stretching out for a nap, carry a $50 fine, police said. 19 all, 7,373 riders were issued tickets in 2011 for taking more than one single seat. The law making such behavior illegal 20 (pass) seven years ago.21cnjy.com
While the crimes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )may seem small, the New York Police Department (NYPD) said the law has made the subway 21 (safe) than before.
“ 22 is common fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r police to find someone they are looking for on subways. They often stop someone for poor subway manners and find him 23 wanted criminal (通缉犯) afterwards,” said police spokesman Paul Browne.
“The crime in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the subways has dropped 24 almost 50 crimes a day in 1990 to only seven now. One of the reasons is 25 the NYPD fights against any crimes, no matter how large or small they are,” he added.

My dearest daughter,
As we celebr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ate Mother’s Day and your upcoming graduation, there is something I have to tell you. I will always be your birth mother — that is a sacred bond that exists between us, but the advice I want you to take into the world is this: seek out other mothers.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
When my mom, your g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )randmother, died at the age of 59, I thought I had to make my way in a motherless world. I was wrong. The silver lining to my mother passing away 13 years ago is that I found surrogate (替代的) mothers. Most people would call these women mentors because of the key role each played in my work life.
This is what I want ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to tell you: let yourself fall in love with older women, women you deeply admire. Let their courage, humor, strength and wisdom inspire you. Mother mentors hold lanterns in dark alleyways.
For me, there was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Carol. When I met Carol, she had had surgery on her face to remove skin cancer, was bandaged and missing part of her nose. Carol was in her 70s and with the help of a team of actors, had just opened a theatre. As I listened to Carol talking about the importance of people sharing their stories, I fell in love with her. That love changed my life. I joined the theatre as a writer, but on Carol’s advice took acting classes and eventually, with Carol’s help, created and performed one-woman plays. Before I went on stage, Carol would always remind me, “Tell yourself, ‘I’ve got something to say’, take a breath and go say it.”
As you head out into ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the world, know that there are other mothers who will let you into their lives and show you the way. Look for them, and when you find them, make time to love them.
All of my love,
Mom

The first United S ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tates airmail stamp has had an interesting story. Printed in 1918, this 24-cent stamp with a blue plane inside a rose border became the center of much attention. One hundred of the stamps sold to the public became known as “inverts (倒转)”, for the plane was printed upside down. Some of these “upside-down” airmail stamps are now worth over $6,000. 21*cnjy*com
The story of these ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )stamps began on May 14, 1918, the day after they were placed on sale. In Washington, D.C., Robey, a man interested in stamps, decided to buy a sheet of the new stamps and so went to the New York Avenue branch post office. When the clerk handed him a sheet of the stamps, the collector’s heart stood still as he saw that the sheet which had been offered him had inverted centers. Excited by his find, Robey shopped at other branch post offices for more sheets with inverted centers but found none.
Not being a ric ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h man, Robey decided to cash in on his good fortune. He turned down the first offer of $500 from a Washington stamp shop owner and took the sheet to New York. There he planned to show it to a collector, Colonel Green, as well as to stamp dealers.
Colonel Green was o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ut of the city, and no one else wanted to bid on the sheet for fear that Robey’s might not be the only upside-down sheet. Robey left New York, and stopped in Philadelphia on the way home. There, dealer Eugene Klein bought the sheet for $15,000. Within a few days, Klein sold the sheet to Colonel Green for $20,000! Robey’s sheet had cost him $24, and his profit was $14,976 while Klein gained $5,000.
Of the 100 stamps fir ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st bought by Mr. Robey, stamp collectors are now able to account for 90. What has happened to the others is not known. A single such stamp has been sold for as much as $6,500. Few people have ever even seen a copy!
31. Why did Robey decide to buy a sheet of the new stamps
A. He knew it was very valuable.
B. He wanted to show it to his friends.
C. He was a stamp-collecting lover.

A. the picture in the stamp was upside down
B. it was the first United States airmail stamp
C. there are only ninety known in the world
D. many stamp-collecting lovers hunted for it
33. In the end, Robey sold the sheet of stamps for .www-2-1-cnjy-com
A. $20,000 B. $5,000 C. $14,976 D. $15,000
34. The underl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ined phrase “account for” in the last paragraph has the same meaning as “ ”.

A. The price of an American stamp
B. A mistake made in stamp printing
C. America’s luckiest stamp discovery
D. The secret to making money from stamps

After graduating fr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )om college and moving to New York, Hannah Brencher was feeling anxious and depressed. She found herself not wanting to be around other people. Then she started writing love letters and leaving them all over the city.
To whoever finds this letter,
You and I don’t kno ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )w one another. We may never sit and laugh over cups of coffee. We may never dance in the same circles. None of that really matters to me. I wish you would know on a daily basis that you are lovely and that you are worthy.
You probably think I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) am crazy since you don’t know me. But I need to know that I matter to someone somewhere.
In a way I cannot expl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ain, you matter to me. And you are a marvel (奇迹).
Love,
A girl just trying to find her way
“What I noticed was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that my sadness and loneliness got unimportant,” Hannah told the BBC. Now Hannah and her More Love Letters campaign are part of a growing number of organizations calling for the beneficial effects of random acts of kindness.
Nowadays, more stand ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ard treatment for social anxiety disorder is cognitive behavioral therapy (认知行为治疗). As part of this therapy, patients are encouraged to face their fears of social contact.
Dr Lynn Alden, fr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )om the University of British Columbia, asked volunteers with high levels of social anxiety to perform small “belief-challenging” tasks similar to Hannah’s deed. At the end of the four-week-long experiment, participants avoided social situations less and increased relationship satisfaction.
“Sometimes people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )would give somebody a small gift, or visit sick people, or thank a bus driver. They were actually fairly small acts but had a much bigger impact on both givers and receivers. They might actually be good for mental health,” explained Dr Alden.
And Dr Alden urges ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )caution about performing acts of kindness chosen by someone else to impress others, “People should perform the acts of kindness because they want to and not because it’s required by others.”
36. At first, Hannah wrote love letters to .
A. attract public attention B. release negative emotions
C. show her opinion on kindness D. seek true love and get married
37. Hannah’s love letters are special because they are .
A. of the same contents B. found all over Britain
C. received by strangers D. answered by the researchers
38. What conclusion might Dr Lynn Alden draw from the experiment
A. Lover letters can help people build up confidence.
B. New therapies are required to treat social anxiety disorder.
C. Patients with social anxiety hardly have any beliefs.
D. Acts of kindness may help people with social anxiety.
39. The underl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ined word “They” in the last but one paragraph refers to “ ”.
A. volunteers B. small gifts
C. small acts of kindness D. givers
40. According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to Dr. Alden, what is the most important when you are showing some acts of kindness
A. Having a strong desire to do so.
B. Being aware of their great value.
C. Spreading them among people around.
D. Giving is better than receiving.
D
On an ordinary weekda ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y evening, Jane was at home as usual. As she was considering what she was going to do with her dinner plans for the evening, she was unexpectedly interrupted by an urgent call from her sister, “get over here!” 【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
A few hours later, Jan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e found herself with 8 strangers in the middle of the boiling desert heat of Utah, picking up rubbish and raising awareness about zero waste and climate change.
Armed with a deep love ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of the environment and a desire to make a difference, Jane, Davey, and a group of self-described “environmental pick-up artists” went on a road-side rubbish pick-up. As they walked, sometimes only covering 0.9 miles in an entire day, they slowly and steadily made their way across the United States, picking up a total of 201,678 pounds of rubbish. In the end, three years and 3,672 miles later, they dipped their feet in the cold waters of the Pacific.
The road is wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ndy, often up-hill. “With a rubbish bag as your companion, how do you remind yourselves that picking up that tiny gum wrapper on the ground makes a difference Where do you find the strength to keep going ” As I asked Jane and Davey to answer these questions, they shared remarkable stories of caring environment that gave their efforts to continue their journey.
A small group of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) us were lucky enough to spend two hours last Wednesday evening listening to the remarkable stories of Jane and Davey. As they shared their deep concern for the environment, we together experienced their real spirit. Jane and Davey, like so many ordinary unknown heroes in our community, might not ever draw much attention like multi-million-dollar-funded projects. In many ways, it is exactly that which makes their story so attractive.
41. Why did Jane’s sister call her out
A. To ask her to prepare dinner for them.
B. To ask for advice on picking up rubbish.
C. To beg her to help them out of trouble.
D. To ask her to join them in their activity.
42. How did the group ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) travel across the United States to gather rubbish
A. By bus. B. On foot. C. By train. D. By bike.
43. What gave them the courage to go on their journey
A. Good teamwork spirit. B. Great interest in traveling.21世纪教育网版权所有
C. Deep love of natural beauty.
D. Deep concern for the environment.
44. Which of the following can best describe Jane and her teammates
A. Their action is wiser than environmental projects.
B. Their effort will stop nature from being polluted.
C. Ordinary people have done extraordinary things.
D. They are famous heroes of environmental protection.
45. The author writes the passage to ______.
A. admire B. complain
C. encourage D. persuade

Gray hair, premature balding and early wrinkles before you feel middle-aged can be distressing signs of time’s relentless march. But looking older than you really are doesn’t necessarily signal an early death.
47.
Being exposed to your TV or living room lights late at night may put you at risk for depression. The research adds to growing evidence in both animals and people that exposure to dim lights at night can lead to all sorts of negative health consequences, including breast cancer, sleep disorder and weight gain.
48.
While previous work has found that people who are depressed tend to have more trouble focusing, the new study is the first to suggest that mind wandering also causes discontent. When people’s minds are disconnected from their actions, they are generally less happy.www.21-cn-jy.com
49.
Older people who walk quickly tend to live longer than those who slow down as they age. The study also suggests that, like blood pressure and cholesterol levels, the pace that you feel comfortable walking at can be a simple sign of your overall health and a simple walking test could help doctors and patients make decisions.
50.
A new study found that people experienced the most positive emotional reactions when they heard genuine, open-mouthed laughter, especially if the laughter came from a woman. Breathy laughter made with a closed mouth didn’t bring the same good feelings.21·世纪*教育网

Many people don’t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) know how to do this boring but polite gesture: queuing. I do not like to queue up personally, but I do it because I have to have some sort of social grace.
There have been ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )many occasions when I have been the first to stand at a bus stop. After waiting for 20 minutes or so, the bus would arrive and about 5 people rushed in front of me to get on the bus without any thought of queuing.
On another occasi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on, I was about to board a train. Usually I am considerate enough to let the elderly board first, but that horrible woman with her 6 kids just took their place right in front of the train doors (after pushing everyone out of the way, elderly persons included) and rushed onto the train! Had she asked politely if she could get on first due to the fact that she was carrying a number of bags and a number of rude kids, I might have allowed her to jump the queue and get on before me. But she didn’t even say “excuse me” and just pushed past to get on anyway!
Usually thing ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s like this do not bother me, but as I see this almost every day (in shops, post offices, supermarkets, etc), it makes my blood boil.

To make our school lif ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e colorful, the Students’ Union of Guang Ming Middle School has decided to hold the third Arts Week in the school hall, which will last seven days, from April 24 to 30, 2014. The Arts Week will cover a wide range of activities, including handwriting, drawing, playing musical instruments, as well as singing and dancing. The first six top classes will be chosen as the winners according to the total scores of each class by the judges made up of experts and students.

One possible version:
By talking about t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wo occasions when he witnessed people jump the queue, the author expresses his anger towards these similar rude behaviors and believes that it is polite and considerate of us to queue up.
As far as I’ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m concerned, I was once waiting my turn to board a train, while a young man jumped the queue without saying sorry to me. I asked if he had any emergency to handle. When he said “no”, I told him that he should queue up next time because this would make him more handsome. Hearing these words, the man was ashamed of his behavior and went back to his previous position.2-1-c-n-j-y
Many of us, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )young and old, often do not behave ourselves by jumping the queue in banks, railway stations, supermarkets, etc. I think it often happens due to the shortage of services, but sometimes we do so just because we can take advantage of others who are weaker than us.
In fact, everyone ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )will eventually belong to the weaker group. One will probably become very weak or old someday when he or she needs help from others. Only if everyone is considerate towards others today can he or she get the necessary help from others tomorrow.

“ 22 is common fo ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r police to find someone they are looking for on subways. They often stop someone for poor subway manners and find him 23 wanted criminal (通缉犯) afterwards,” said police spokesman Paul Browne.
“The crime in ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the subways has dropped 24 almost 50 crimes a day in 1990 to only seven now. One of the reasons is 25 the NYPD fights against any crimes, no matter how large or small they are,” he added.

My dearest daughter,
As we celebr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ate Mother’s Day and your upcoming graduation, there is something I have to tell you. I will always be your birth mother — that is a sacred bond that exists between us, but the advice I want you to take into the world is this: seek out other mothers.【来源：21·世纪·教育·网】
When my mom, your g ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )randmother, died at the age of 59, I thought I had to make my way in a motherless world. I was wrong. The silver lining to my mother passing away 13 years ago is that I found surrogate (替代的) mothers. Most people would call these women mentors because of the key role each played in my work life.
This is what I want ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to tell you: let yourself fall in love with older women, women you deeply admire. Let their courage, humor, strength and wisdom inspire you. Mother mentors hold lanterns in dark alleyways.
For me, there was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) Carol. When I met Carol, she had had surgery on her face to remove skin cancer, was bandaged and missing part of her nose. Carol was in her 70s and with the help of a team of actors, had just opened a theatre. As I listened to Carol talking about the importance of people sharing their stories, I fell in love with her. That love changed my life. I joined the theatre as a writer, but on Carol’s advice took acting classes and eventually, with Carol’s help, created and performed one-woman plays. Before I went on stage, Carol would always remind me, “Tell yourself, ‘I’ve got something to say’, take a breath and go say it.”
As you head out into ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) the world, know that there are other mothers who will let you into their lives and show you the way. Look for them, and when you find them, make time to love them.
All of my love,
Mom

The first United S ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )tates airmail stamp has had an interesting story. Printed in 1918, this 24-cent stamp with a blue plane inside a rose border became the center of much attention. One hundred of the stamps sold to the public became known as “inverts (倒转)”, for the plane was printed upside down. Some of these “upside-down” airmail stamps are now worth over $6,000. 21*cnjy*com
The story of these ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )stamps began on May 14, 1918, the day after they were placed on sale. In Washington, D.C., Robey, a man interested in stamps, decided to buy a sheet of the new stamps and so went to the New York Avenue branch post office. When the clerk handed him a sheet of the stamps, the collector’s heart stood still as he saw that the sheet which had been offered him had inverted centers. Excited by his find, Robey shopped at other branch post offices for more sheets with inverted centers but found none.
Not being a ric ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )h man, Robey decided to cash in on his good fortune. He turned down the first offer of $500 from a Washington stamp shop owner and took the sheet to New York. There he planned to show it to a collector, Colonel Green, as well as to stamp dealers.
Colonel Green was o ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ut of the city, and no one else wanted to bid on the sheet for fear that Robey’s might not be the only upside-down sheet. Robey left New York, and stopped in Philadelphia on the way home. There, dealer Eugene Klein bought the sheet for $15,000. Within a few days, Klein sold the sheet to Colonel Green for $20,000! Robey’s sheet had cost him $24, and his profit was $14,976 while Klein gained $5,000.
Of the 100 stamps fir ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )st bought by Mr. Robey, stamp collectors are now able to account for 90. What has happened to the others is not known. A single such stamp has been sold for as much as $6,500. Few people have ever even seen a copy!
31. Why did Robey decide to buy a sheet of the new stamps
A. He knew it was very valuable.
B. He wanted to show it to his friends.

A. the picture in the stamp was upside down
B. it was the first United States airmail stamp
C. there are only ninety known in the world
D. many stamp-collecting lovers hunted for it
33. In the end, Robey sold the sheet of stamps for .www-2-1-cnjy-com
A. $20,000 B. $5,000 C. $14,976 D. $15,000
34. The underl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ined phrase “account for” in the last paragraph has the same meaning as “ ”.

After graduating fr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )om college and moving to New York, Hannah Brencher was feeling anxious and depressed. She found herself not wanting to be around other people. Then she started writing love letters and leaving them all over the city.
To whoever finds this letter,
You and I don’t kno ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )w one another. We may never sit and laugh over cups of coffee. We may never dance in the same circles. None of that really matters to me. I wish you would know on a daily basis that you are lovely and that you are worthy.
You probably think I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) am crazy since you don’t know me. But I need to know that I matter to someone somewhere.
In a way I cannot expl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ain, you matter to me. And you are a marvel (奇迹).
Love,
A girl just trying to find her way
“What I noticed was ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) that my sadness and loneliness got unimportant,” Hannah told the BBC. Now Hannah and her More Love Letters campaign are part of a growing number of organizations calling for the beneficial effects of random acts of kindness.
Nowadays, more stand ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ard treatment for social anxiety disorder is cognitive behavioral therapy (认知行为治疗). As part of this therapy, patients are encouraged to face their fears of social contact.
Dr Lynn Alden, fr ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )om the University of British Columbia, asked volunteers with high levels of social anxiety to perform small “belief-challenging” tasks similar to Hannah’s deed. At the end of the four-week-long experiment, participants avoided social situations less and increased relationship satisfaction.
“Sometimes people ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )would give somebody a small gift, or visit sick people, or thank a bus driver. They were actually fairly small acts but had a much bigger impact on both givers and receivers. They might actually be good for mental health,” explained Dr Alden.
And Dr Alden urges ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )caution about performing acts of kindness chosen by someone else to impress others, “People should perform the acts of kindness because they want to and not because it’s required by others.”
36. At first, Hannah wrote love letters to .
A. attract public attention B. release negative emotions
C. show her opinion on kindness D. seek true love and get married
37. Hannah’s love letters are special because they are .
A. of the same contents B. found all over Britain
C. received by strangers D. answered by the researchers
38. What conclusion might Dr Lynn Alden draw from the experiment
A. Lover letters can help people build up confidence.
B. New therapies are required to treat social anxiety disorder.
C. Patients with social anxiety hardly have any beliefs.
D. Acts of kindness may help people with social anxiety.
39. The underl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ined word “They” in the last but one paragraph refers to “ ”.
A. volunteers B. small gifts
C. small acts of kindness D. givers
40. According ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) to Dr. Alden, what is the most important when you are showing some acts of kindness
A. Having a strong desire to do so.
B. Being aware of their great value.
C. Spreading them among people around.
D. Giving is better than receiving.

On an ordinary weekda ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )y evening, Jane was at home as usual. As she was considering what she was going to do with her dinner plans for the evening, she was unexpectedly interrupted by an urgent call from her sister, “get over here!” 【来源：21cnj*y.co*m】
A few hours later, Jan ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e found herself with 8 strangers in the middle of the boiling desert heat of Utah, picking up rubbish and raising awareness about zero waste and climate change.
Armed with a deep love ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) of the environment and a desire to make a difference, Jane, Davey, and a group of self-described “environmental pick-up artists” went on a road-side rubbish pick-up. As they walked, sometimes only covering 0.9 miles in an entire day, they slowly and steadily made their way across the United States, picking up a total of 201,678 pounds of rubbish. In the end, three years and 3,672 miles later, they dipped their feet in the cold waters of the Pacific.
The road is wi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ndy, often up-hill. “With a rubbish bag as your companion, how do you remind yourselves that picking up that tiny gum wrapper on the ground makes a difference Where do you find the strength to keep going ” As I asked Jane and Davey to answer these questions, they shared remarkable stories of caring environment that gave their efforts to continue their journey.
A small group of ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) us were lucky enough to spend two hours last Wednesday evening listening to the remarkable stories of Jane and Davey. As they shared their deep concern for the environment, we together experienced their real spirit. Jane and Davey, like so many ordinary unknown heroes in our community, might not ever draw much attention like multi-million-dollar-funded projects. In many ways, it is exactly that which makes their story so attractive.
41. Why did Jane’s sister call her out
A. To ask her to prepare dinner for them.
B. To ask for advice on picking up rubbish.
C. To beg her to help them out of trouble.
D. To ask her to join them in their activity.
42. How did the group ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) travel across the United States to gather rubbish
A. By bus. B. On foot. C. By train. D. By bike.
43. What gave them the courage to go on their journey
A. Good teamwork spirit. B. Great interest in traveling.21世纪教育网版权所有
C. Deep love of natural beauty.
D. Deep concern for the environment.
44. Which of the following can best describe Jane and her teammates
A. Their action is wiser than environmental projects.
B. Their effort will stop nature from being polluted.
C. Ordinary people have done extraordinary things.
D. They are famous heroes of environmental protection.
45. The author writes the passage to ______.
A. admire B. complain
C. encourage D. persuade

Gray hair, premature balding and early wrinkles before you feel middle-aged can be distressing signs of time’s relentless march. But looking older than you really are doesn’t necessarily signal an early death.
47.
Being exposed to your TV or living room lights late at night may put you at risk for depression. The research adds to growing evidence in both animals and people that exposure to dim lights at night can lead to all sorts of negative health consequences, including breast cancer, sleep disorder and weight gain.
48.
While previous work has found that people who are depressed tend to have more trouble focusing, the new study is the first to suggest that mind wandering also causes discontent. When people’s minds are disconnected from their actions, they are generally less happy.www.21-cn-jy.com
49.
Older people who walk quickly tend to live longer than those who slow down as they age. The study also suggests that, like blood pressure and cholesterol levels, the pace that you feel comfortable walking at can be a simple sign of your overall health and a simple walking test could help doctors and patients make decisions.
50.
A new study found that people experienced the most positive emotional reactions when they heard genuine, open-mouthed laughter, especially if the laughter came from a woman. Breathy laughter made with a closed mouth didn’t bring the same good feelings.21·世纪*教育网

Many people don’t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) know how to do this boring but polite gesture: queuing. I do not like to queue up personally, but I do it because I have to have some sort of social grace.
There have been ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )many occasions when I have been the first to stand at a bus stop. After waiting for 20 minutes or so, the bus would arrive and about 5 people rushed in front of me to get on the bus without any thought of queuing.
On another occasi ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )on, I was about to board a train. Usually I am considerate enough to let the elderly board first, but that horrible woman with her 6 kids just took their place right in front of the train doors (after pushing everyone out of the way, elderly persons included) and rushed onto the train! Had she asked politely if she could get on first due to the fact that she was carrying a number of bags and a number of rude kids, I might have allowed her to jump the queue and get on before me. But she didn’t even say “excuse me” and just pushed past to get on anyway!
Usually thing ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s like this do not bother me, but as I see this almost every day (in shops, post offices, supermarkets, etc), it makes my blood boil.

One possible version:
By talking about t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )wo occasions when he witnessed people jump the queue, the author expresses his anger towards these similar rude behaviors and believes that it is polite and considerate of us to queue up.
As far as I’ ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )m concerned, I was once waiting my turn to board a train, while a young man jumped the queue without saying sorry to me. I asked if he had any emergency to handle. When he said “no”, I told him that he should queue up next time because this would make him more handsome. Hearing these words, the man was ashamed of his behavior and went back to his previous position.2-1-c-n-j-y
Many of us, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )young and old, often do not behave ourselves by jumping the queue in banks, railway stations, supermarkets, etc. I think it often happens due to the shortage of services, but sometimes we do so just because we can take advantage of others who are weaker than us.
In fact, everyone ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )will eventually belong to the weaker group. One will probably become very weak or old someday when he or she needs help from others. Only if everyone is considerate towards others today can he or she get the necessary help from others tomorrow.
