　　A woman:heads into apopular New York City coffee shop on a cold: winter rooming. Just ahead of her, a man drops a few papers. The woman pauses to help gather them. A clerk ata busy store thanks a customer who has just bought something. "Enjoy" the young woman says, smiling widely. "Have a nice day." She sounds like she really means it. These arethe common situations we may see every: day.

　　However, in her best-selling book Talk to the Hand, Lynne Truss argues that common good manners such as saying "Excuse me" almost no longer exist. There are certainly plenty who would agree with her. According to one recent study, 70 percent of the U.S. adults (成A.)said people are ruder now than they were 20 years ago.

　　Is it really true? We decided to find out if good manners are really hard to see. In this politeness study, reporters were sent to many cities in the world. They performed three experiments: "door tests" (would anyone hold the door open for them?); "paper drops" (who would help them gather a pile of "accidentally" dropped papers?); and "service tests" (which salesclerks would thank them for a purchase [购物]?)

　　In New York, 60 tests (20 of each type)were done. Along the way, the reporters met all types of people: men and women of different races, ages, professions (职业), and income levels. And guess what? In the end, four out of every five :people they met passed their: politeness test making New York the most polite city in the study.

　　【翻译】在一个寒冷的冬日，一位妇女走进了纽约市一家很受欢迎的咖啡馆。就在她的前面，有位男子掉了几张报纸。这位妇女停了下来帮助他捡。在一家繁华的商店里，一位店员对刚买了一些东西的顾客表示感谢。“享用吧”年轻女士一边说，一边会心的笑了笑。“祝你愉快”她说的话听起来是发自内心的。上述这些都是我们每天可以看到的普通情况。

　　可是，在她那本最畅销的书《talk to the hand》中，林恩争论说，像普通的礼貌用语“请原谅”几乎不再存在了。有许多人都会赞同她的说法。根据一项最近的研究，70%的美国成年人说，与二十年前相比，现在的人更加粗鲁。

　　这种说法真实吗？我们决定探索一下，是否良好的行为风度真的难以看到。在这项礼貌研究中，记者们被派到世界上的许多城市。他们进行三个试验：“门试验”（会有人为他们扶住门吗？）“掉报纸试验”（谁将会帮助他们捡起一堆“偶然地”掉下的报纸呢？）以及“服务试验”（哪些售货员会感谢他们购物？）
