Nne f that is necessarily true, but this is: “If smene is engaged in a great cnversatin，they wuldn't care abut their phnes,”says Leslie，a psychlgist and researcher at NYU.
D yu smetimes wnder: What shuld I have said t a rude persn like this? What if we have t talk t such maddening persns? Experts have advice abut hw t deal with this.
Whether yu say smething r nt， remember that the cell-addict's annying habits aren't abut yu. “It's rude， fr sure, but smetimes we mistake the behavir fr mre than what it is,” says Leslie. “It's pssible that they are facing smething tugh and merely experiencing nervusness r anxiety," he adds. It's als pssible that their partner is stuck with a flat tyre(轮胎)r their kid is sick in hspital. The pint is that yu dn't knw.
S befre yu becme angry at the cell-addict's pen rudeness, fcus instead n building a better cnversatin than whatever's ging dwn n Instagram. Yu might never be able t achieve this, given the pwer f tday's scial media, s if yu're clse enugh t a persn , Leslie advises yu t directly ask them: “What's n that thing that's s interesting?”Chances are that they will aplgise at nce and quickly put the phne away. But if the answer is smething real, talk abut it. Better yet, yu can avid the situatin in advance by saying smething like, “I'm really interested in catching up prperly, s hw abut we leave ur phnes in the car?” If they indeed have that flat tyre r sick kid, at least yu wn't have t assume that it's because yur stries are bring.

C. They are bred with the cnversatin.D.They are interested in what's n the phne.

C. Aviding the situatin in advance.D. Asking the ther persn fr explanatin.
31.What's the main idea f the text?

When yu walk n a sandy beach, it takes mre energy than walking dwn a sidewalk—because the weight f yur bdy pushes int the sand. It turns ut that the same thing is true fr vehicles driving n rads.
“The weight f the vehicles creates a very shallw indentatin(凹痕) in the pavement — like it's cntinuusly driving up a very shallw hill,” said Jeremy Gregry, a scientist at MIT. He mdeled with his teammates hw much energy culd be saved and hw much greenhuse gases culd be avided by simply hardening the natin's rads and highways.
And they fund that hardening 10 percent f the natin’s rads every year culd prevent thee emissin(排放) equal t 440 megatns f carbn dixide ver the next 5 decades — that amunt is equal t hw much CO, yu’d spare the planet by keeping a billin barrels f il in the grund r by grwing 7 billin trees fr a decade. It reduces 0.5% f prjected transprtatin emissins ver that time perid.
As fr hw t harden rads, Gregry says yu culd cmbine small amunts f certain fiber with high technlgy int paving materials. Or yu culd pave with specially-made cncrete, which is harder than rdinary cnstructin materials.
This system culd als be a way t shave carbn emissins withut sme f the usual barriers. “Usually, when it cmes t reducing emissins in the transprtatin department, yu're talking abut changing plicies related t vehicles and als driver behavir, which invlves millins and millins f peple — as ppsed t changing the way we design and preserve ur pavements. That's just n the rder f thusands f peple wh are wrking in transprtatin agencies.” And when it cmes t imprving ur streets and highways — thse agencies are where yu might say the rubber meets the rad.
32. Hw des the authr develp Paragraph 3?
A. By giving examples. B. By making classificatin.
C. By listing figures D. By analyzing causes.
33. What des Gregry suggest fr hardening rads?
A. Mixing fiber with special cncrete. B. Changing regular paving materials.
C. Creating hi-tech cmputer mdels. D. Using rdinary building materials.
34. What is an advantage f the rad-hardening system?
A. It reduces cnstructin csts. B. It prfits transprtatin agencies.
C. It regulates driver behavir. D. It avids invlving t many peple.
35. What can be a suitable title fr the text?
A. Walking Dwn Beaches r Sidewalks? B. Hardening Rads Helps Save Energy.
C. Hw t Cut Dwn Carbn Emissins D. A System f Hardening Rads.
