There was a time when, if a lady got onto a crowded bus or train, a gentleman would immediately stand up and offer her his seat. No more, though. Today, a gentleman will probably look out of the window, or, if he feels a bit guilty(内疚), hides behind his newspaper. Either way, the lady will have to stand until someone else gets off.
You can't entirely blame(完全责备)men for this change in manners. The days are gone when women could be referred to as the weaker sex. A whole generation(代)of women has grown up demanding equality with men; not just equality in jobs or education, but in social attitudes(态度). Hold a door open for some women and you're likely to get an angry lecture on treating women as inferiors(能力低下的人), unable to open doors for themselves. Take a girl out for a meal and she'll probably insist on paying her share of the bill; though on second thoughts perhaps that's not such a bad idea.
It's no wonder, then, that men have given up some of the gestures of politeness and consideration which they used to show towards women. On the other hand, automatic male (men) politeness is perhaps slowly being replaced by true consideration for the needs of women, so that men can see women as equal human beings.
Maybe that's worth standing in the bus or train.

There were times when it was only schoolchildren who felt sick before they got their grades．But now teachers in Germany are scared, too, as they are being graded by their students.
Many teachers are opposed to it．They don’t mind being evaluated．But they are upset because the results are then being posted on the Internet and accessible to millions of Internet users．On the website www. spickmich.de during the past four months students have posted evaluations of 100,000 teachers.
The teachers are graded on categories such as “motivated”, “good instruction,” “easy examinations”, or even “sexy.” Many teachers think that their privacy has been violated.
The creators of the website say that the students are only being offered the chance to provide teachers with some feedback about their classroom instruction．Bernd Dicks, who founded the website with three friends, says that the students are largely quite satisfied with their teachers．On a grading scale of one to six, the teachers’ average grade is 2.7 and it has been improving lately．He often says the impression is that students are bullying（欺负） their teachers．But there is also bullying of the students by teachers.
“Teachers must also learn to live with criticism,” he added．But still, the website is not totally immune from manipulation（操纵）, as one teacher near the northern city of Hanover recently proved．He registered himself on the website as a student and then rated his own teaching colleagues highly．Within a few days, seven of his colleagues were listed in the top 10 rankings of Germany’s best teachers.
45. Many teachers are opposed to the website because .
A．their privacy has been violated B．they are afraid of being assessed
C．their evaluations are unfair D．the results are not satisfying
46．The founders of the website intended to .
A．get the students to know their teachers better
B．conduct a survey on teachers’ performances
C．help the teachers to improve their teaching
D．change the teachers’ ways of giving instructions
47．From what the teacher in Hanover did, we can infer .
A．he intended to help his colleagues
B．there was some disadvantage of the website
C．his colleagues were more popular than him
D．he wanted to know how he was evaluated
48．Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?
A．Teachers get graded by pupils B．Teachers are angry with website

What’s small, buzzes here and there and visits flowers? If you said bees or hummingbirds, you got it. You wouldn’t be the first if you mixed the two up. Now a group of researchers even say we should embrace our history of considering the two together in the same group. The way scientists study bees could help them study hummingbird behavior, too.
Scientists first compared the two back in the 1970s when studying how animals search for food. The idea is that animals use a kind of math to make choices in order to minimize the work it takes to earn maximum rewards. Researchers at the time focused on movement rules, like the order in which they visited flowers, and where flowers were located relative to others. It was “almost like an algorithm(算法)” for efficient searching, said David Pritchard, a biologist at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland. Hummingbirds and bees had similar solutions.
As the field of animal cognition(认知) appeared, hummingbird and bee research parted. Neuroscientists and behavioral ecologists developed ways to study bee behavior in naturalistic settings. Hummingbird researchers compared hummingbirds to other birds and borrowed methods from psychology to study their ability to learn in the lab. To be fair, hummingbirds and bees differ. For example, hummingbirds have more advanced eyes and brains than bees. Honeybees and bumblebees are social; hummingbirds typically aren’t.
But however they perceive(感知) or process information, they both experience similar information, Dr. Pritchard said. In day-to-day searching for food, for example, hummingbirds may rely on more of a bee’s-eye view than a bird’s-eye view. Like other birds, they rely on landmarks, distances and directions to make maps when travelling long distances, but they don’t use these cues to find flowers. Move a flower just an inch or so away from where a hummingbird thought it was and it will hover over the flower’s original location. Dr. Pritchard is investigating if, like bees, hummingbirds engage in view matching — hovering, scanning snapshots of a place to its memory and using those as references later.
1.What is the center of research on hummingbirds and bees in the 1970s?
A.Memory.
B.Movement rules.
C.Reward calculating.
D.Information processing.
2.Which subject’s research methods were adopted to study the learning ability of Hummingbirds?
A.Math.
B.Biology.
C.Ecology.
D.Psychology.
3.How do researchers find out that hummingbirds are not like birds?
A.By setting them free.
B.By moving flowers.
C.By matching view.
D.By making maps.
4.Which of the following can be the best title for the text?
A.Hummingbirds and Bees
