Everybody knows that the nicest men would become fierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can't even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.1．According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by ________.A．road conditionsB．the speed of modern lifeC．the behavior of the driversD．the large number of cars2．In the writer's opinion, ________.A．drivers should avoid traffic jamsB．strict traffic rules are badly neededC．unskillful drivers should be punishedD．drivers should show road politeness properly3．The underlined word “give-and-take”in the last paragraph means “________”．A．politeness and impolitenessB．good manners and bad mannersC．offering help to others as much as possibleD．willingness of each person to give in to each other's wishes4．What is the best title for the passage?A．Road PolitenessB．Traffic ProblemsC．Bad Manners on the RoadD．Good Drivers and Bad Drivers答案：Ⅰ.1.classified 2.departure 3.fortnight 4.furnished 5.expose 6.prejudiceⅡ.1.in a flash 2.bid goodbye to 3.will hand over 4.was out of control 5.are exposed to 6.get rid ofⅢ.1.He was reading newspaper when he heard his name called.2．I was about to go out when an unexpected visitor came.3．Should I work harder, I could make much more progress.4．No sooner had we sat down than we found it was time to go./We had no sooner sat down than we found it was time to go.5．Were it necessary, I might resign.Ⅳ.1.which 2.loss 3.exposed 4.rarely 5．relaxed 6.an7.on8.furnished9．departure10.toⅤ.语篇解读：本文主要讲了多民族国家的好处。
