2020年10月全国自考英语阅读一真题及答案

2020年10月全国自考英语阅读一真题及答案仔细阅读Many studies suggest that our personalities remain fairly stable, even over t he course of decades. Yet a small but long-running study finds that traits related to dependability differ greatly betwee n adolescence and late life. The findings raise new questions and highlight t he challenges in trying to track a person's defining characteristics over man y years. In the new research, published in December 2016 in Psychology an d Aging, researchers in the U. K. reached out to a group of 635 77-year-olds from Scotland who had taken part in a study when they were 14. Back then, their teachers had rated them on six personality characteristics relate d to dependability: self-confidence, perseverance (坚定), mood stability, conscientiousness (认真) , originality and desire to be better than others. Some 60 years later a t otal of 174 participants from the original study rated themselves on the sa me six traits and had a close friend or relative rate them as well. Lead autho r Ian Deary, a psychologist at the University of Edinburgh, expected, based on earlier findings, that dependability scores might remain stable over time . In fact, he and his colleagues found no relation between ratings for depen dability-related traits over the 63-year span studied. (Deary emphasizes that his findings apply only to these six trait—not overall personality.) One of the study's strengths is that it covers such a long period, but this characteristic also makes the research challenging. Nat e Hudson, a social psychologist at Michigan State University who was not in volved in the study, points out that the lack of personality stability could be the result of having different people rate the participants. Ideally, the same person would rate a subject's personality at both time points when assessm ents were made. In decades-spanning studies, many subjects go missing, die or choose not to participate in follow-up assessments. Deary and his colleagues had only 174 of the original partic ipants, a number that makes it tough to find subtle, but real, correlations in sets of data. " It is difficult to know from their study alone whether there is truly zero stability in personality from age 14 to 77, " Hudson says. " Deary's work moves the field forward—but more research is needed to get a full picture of how personality evolves throughout a lifetime. "【正确答案】1.What do many studies suggest about a person's personality?(A)It is offensive during adolescence.(B)It becomes split in middle age.(C)It is lovable in late life.(D)It remains stable.【正确答案】D【试题解析】事实细节题。

In a recent study published in the journal Psychological Science, researchers found that people who spent money on experiences were happier than those who spent money on material possessions.According to the study, experiences give us more happiness because they provide us with long-lasting memories that we can look back on and cherish. On the other hand, materialpossessions tend to lose their value over time, leaving us with feelings of dissatisfaction and the desire to acquire more things.Another reason experiences bring more happiness than possessions is that they connect us with others. Whether you are traveling with friends, attending a concert with your partner, or dining out with family, experiences create lasting bonds that can strengthen relationships and increase overall well-being.So, the next time you have some extra cash to spend, consider investing in a new adventure rather than a new gadget. You'll find that the memories and connections you make will bring you more joy in the long run.1. What does the study in the passage suggest about spending money on experiences?2. Why do experiences bring more happiness than possessions, according to the passage?3. What can experiences help to strengthen, according to the passage?4. How can spending money on experiences benefit us in the long run?5. Why is it important to consider investing in experiences rather than possessions?Passage 2Questions 6-10Artificial intelligence (AI) is shaping the future of various industries, including healthcare, finance, and transportation. From virtual assistants that help us with everyday tasks to computer systems that can predict market trends, AI is revolutionizing the way we live and work.One of the main benefits of AI is its ability to analyze large amounts of data quickly and accurately. This allows businesses to make informed decisions based on real-time information, leading to increased efficiency and profitability.In the healthcare industry, AI is being used to help doctors diagnose patients, predict outbreaks of diseases, and personalize treatment plans. By analyzing patients' symptoms and medical histories, AI can provide recommendations that are tailored to individual needs, leading to better outcomes and lower costs.In finance, AI is being used to detect fraud, manage investments, and improve customer service. By analyzing transactions in real-time, AI can identify suspicious activities and potentially save businesses millions of dollars in losses.Overall, AI has the potential to transform industries in ways we never thought possible. As technology continues to advance, the opportunities for AI to improve our lives are endless.6. What is one of the main benefits of AI mentioned in the passage?7. How is AI being used in the healthcare industry?8. In what ways is AI being used in finance?9. What is one example of how AI can help businesses save money?10. What is the potential of AI in transforming industries, according to the passage?Passage 3Questions 11-15Climate change is one of the most pressing issues facing our planet today. From rising temperatures to extreme weather events, the effects of climate change are being felt around the world.One of the main causes of climate change is the burning of fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and gas. When these fuels areburned, they release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, trapping heat and leading to a rise in global temperatures.To combat climate change, it is essential that we move towards renewable sources of energy, such as solar, wind, and hydropower. By harnessing the power of these clean energy sources, we can reduce our carbon footprint and help mitigate the effects of climate change.Individuals can also play a role in fighting climate change by making small changes in their everyday lives. From reducing energy consumption to recycling and using public transportation, there are many actions we can take to reduce our impact on the environment.Governments and businesses must also take action to address climate change. By investing in renewable energy, implementing policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and promoting sustainable practices, we can work towards a more sustainable future for all.11.

However, it also has its drawbacks, such as limited social interaction and potential distractions. Despite these challenges, online learning is likely to continue to be a popular option in the future, given its numerous advantages and the ongoing advancements in technology.In regards to protecting the environment, implementing policies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and promote sustainability are crucial for addressing climate change and preserving our planet. Individuals and businesses can also play a significant role in contributing to environmental conservation efforts through adopting environmentally friendly practices and supporting green initiatives in their communities. By working together, we can create a more sustainable future for generations to come.Overall, both online learning and environmental conservation are important issues that require collective action and commitment from individuals, governments, and businesses. By recognizing the benefits and challenges of these topics and taking proactive steps to address them, we can work towards a brighter and more sustainable future for all.篇32020年10月英语自学考试真题Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks.

The time has come to find a compromise (妥协) between the traditional belief in hard work and productivity and the emerging realization that a society of abundance (丰盛) is around the corner.A recent McKinsey study looked at 46 countries and 800 job types, accounting for 51% of the world's labor and concluded that by 2030 up to 800 million people could be looking 1____ work. This 2___ to 30% of the global workforce. "Jobs will come and go, but what we need is a skill, universal and constant, that lasts a lifetime," says Michael Freedman, the author of a book about the future of the workplace and CEO of the nonprofit foundation Umalia.3___Universal basic income, where the government pays a regular stipend (津贴) to its 4_____ irrespective of their employment status, is a natural 5____ in this direction. The idea of universal income has been around for some time, but not 6____ the central stage in discussions as it is today. "We have to break the belief that work is the only way to achieve dignity and social esteem," says Freedman. "We have to recognize that work isn't what makes us human. Creativity, emotions… we can't be 7___ by machines in these things."But replacing work with robot-produced abundance implies profound changes to the ways societies are organized, economically, culturally, and spiritually. "Every industrial 8___ disrupts society's organization, and AI is a major disruption," says Freedman. "We will have to rethink education, social support, and pretty much every 9____ aspect of our lives." The question is not "Can we avoid AI?" Instead, Freedman thinks we should be asking questions like "What is society for," and "How does 10____ value?".Word Bank:A. alteredB. eliminatedC. facingD. regardlessE. territoryF. integrateG. prosperH. overwhelmedI. progressJ. compensated参考答案:1.

He made little pieces of sculpture—men, women and castle, quaint earthen things dotted over with sea-shells. He painted. Thus he wasted his time on all that was useless, needless. People laughed at him. At times he vowed to shake off his whims, but they lingered in his mind.(3) Some boys seldom ply their books and yet pass their tests. A similar thing happened to this man. He spent his earth life in useless work and yet after his death the gates of Heaven opened wide for him.(4) But mistakes are unavoidable even in Heaven. So it came to pass that the aerial messenger who took charge of the man made a mistake and found him a place in Workers’ Paradise.(5) In this Paradise you find everything except leisure.(6) Here men say: “God! We haven’t a moment to spare.” Women whisper: “Let’s move on, time’s a-flying.”All exclaim: “Time is precious.” “We have our hands full, we make use of every single minute,” they sigh compla iningly, and yet those words make them happy and exalted.(7) But this newcomer, who had passed all his life on Earth without doing a scrap of useful work, did not fit in with the scheme of things in Workers’ Paradise. He lounged in the streets absently and jostled the hurrying men. He lay down in green meadows, or close to the fast flowing streams, and was taken to task by busy farmers. He was always in the way of others.(8) A hustling girl went every day to a silent torrent (silent, since in the Workers’ Paradise even a torrent would not waste its energy singing) to fill her pitcher.(9) The girl’s movement on the road was like the rapid movement of a skilled hand on the strings of a guitar. Her hair was carelessly done; inquisitive wisps stooped often over her forehead to peer at the dark wonder of her eye.(10) The idler was standing by the stream. As a princess sees a lonely beggar and is filled with pity, so the busy girl of Heaven saw this one and was filled with pity.(11 ) “A—ha !” she cried with concern. “You have no work in hand, have you?”(12) The man sighed, “Work! I have not a moment to spare for work.”(13) The girl did not understand his words, and said: “I shall spare some work for you to do, if you like.”(14) The man replied: “Girl of the silent torrent, all this time I have been waiting to take some4work from your hands.”(15) “What kind of work would you like?”(16) “Will you give me one of your pitchers, one that you can spare?”(17) She asked: “A pitcher? You want to draw water from the torrent?”(18) “No, I shall draw pictures on your pitcher.”(19) The girl was annoyed.(20) “Pictures, indeed! I have no time to waste on such as you. I am going.” And she walked away.(21) But how could a busy person get the better of one who had nothing to do? Every day they met, and every day he said to her: “Girl of the silent torrent, give me one of your clay pitchers. I shall draw pictures on it.”(22) She yielded at last. She gave him one of her pitchers. The man started painting. He drew line after line; he put color after color.(23) When he had completed his work, the girl held up the pitcher and stared at its sides, her eyes puzzled. Brows drawn, she asked: “What do they mean, all those lines and colors? What is their purpose?”(24) The man laughed.(25) “Nothing. A picture may have no meaning and may serve no purpose.”(26) The girl went away with her pitcher. At home, away from prying eyes, she held it in the light, turned it round and round and scanned the painting from all angles. At night she moved out of bed, lighted a lamp and scanned it again in silence. For the first time in her life she had seen something that had no meaning and no purpose at all.(27) When she set out for the torrent the next day, her hurrying feet were a little less hurried than before. For a new sense seemed to have wakened in her, a sense that seemed to have no meaning and no purpose at all.(28) She saw the painter standing by the torrent and asked in confusion: “What do you want of me?”(29) “Only some more work from your hands.”(30) “What kind of work would you like?”(31) “Let me make a colored ribbon for your hair,” he answered.5(32) “And what for?”(33) “Nothing.”(34) Ribbons were made, bright with colors. The busy girl of Workers’ Paradise had now to spenda lot of time every day tying the colored ribbon around her hair. The minutes slipped by, unutilized. Much work was left unfinished.(35) In Workers’ Paradise work had of late begun to suffer. Many persons who had been active before were now idle, wasting their precious time on useless things such as painting and sculpture. The elders became anxious. A meeting was called. All agreed that such a state of affairs had so far been unknown in the history of Workers’ Paradise.(36) The aerial messenger hurried in, bowing before the elders and made a confession.(37) “I brought a wrong man into this Paradise,” he said. “It is all due to him.”(38) The man was summoned. As he came the elders saw his fantastic dress, his quaint brushes, his paints, and they knew at once that he was not the right sort for Workers’ Paradise.(39) Stiffly the President said: “This is no place for the like of you. You must leave.”(40) The man sighed in relief and gathered up his brush and paint. But as he was about to go, the girl of the sil ent torrent came up tripping and cried: “Wait a moment. I shall go with you.”(41) The elders gasped in surprise. Never before had a thing like this happened in Workers’ Paradise—a thing that had no meaning and no purpose at all.III. In this section, there are ten incomplete statements or questions, followed by four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the best answer and write the corresponding letter on your Answer Sheet. (20 points, 2 points for each).41. What do you think is the main point of the story?A. The love of a painter for a pretty girl.B. The opposition between beauty and utility.C.

An eccentric citizen of communist Hungary, he had written a book cal led “Bring up Genius!〞and one of his favorite sayings was “Geniuses are made, not born〞.(2) An expert on the theory of chess, he proceeded to teach little Zsuzsa at home, spending up toten hours a day on the game. Two more daughters were similarly hot-housed. All three obliged their father by becoming world-class players. The youngest, Judit, is currently ranked 13th in the world, and is by far the best female chess player of all time.(3) Would the experiment have succeeded with a different trio of children If any child can beturned into a star, then a lot of time and money are being wasted worldwide on trying to pick winners.(4) America has long held “talent searches〞, using test results and teacher recommendations toselect children for advanced school courses, summer schools and other extra tuition. This provision is set to grow. In his state-of-the-union address in 202X, President George Bush announced the “American Competitiveness Initiative〞, which, among much else, would train 70,000 high-school teachers to lead advanced courses for selected pupils in mathematics and science. Just as the super powers’ space race made Congress put money into science education, the thought of China and India turning out hundreds of thousands of engineers and scientists is scaring America into stimulating its brightest to do their best.(5) The philosophy behind this talent search is that ability is innate; that it can be diagnosed withconsiderable accuracy; and that it is worth cultivating.(6) In America, brig ht children are ranked as “moderately〞, “highly〞, “exceptionally〞and“profoundly〞gifted. The only chance to influence innate ability is thought to be in the womb or the first couple of years of life. Hence the craze for “teaching aids〞such as videos and flashcards for newborns, and “whale sounds〞on tape which a pregnant mother can strap to her belly.(7) In Britain, there is a broadly similar belief in the existence of innate talent, but also anegalitarian (公平主义的) sentiment which makes people queasy about the idea of investing resources in grooming intelligence.(8) Teachers are often opposed to separate provision for the best-performing children, saying anyextra help should go to stragglers. In 202X, in a bid to help the able while leaving intact the ban on most selection by ability in state schools, the government set up the National Academyfor Gifted and Talented Youth. This outfit runs summer schools and master classes for children nominated by their schools. To date, though, only seven in ten secondary schools have nominated even a single child. Last year all schools were told they must supply the names of their top 10%.(9) Picking winners is also the order of the day in excommunist states, a hangover from the timeswhen talented individuals were plucked from their homes and ruthlessly trained for the glory of the nation. But in many other countries, opposition to the idea of singling out talent and grooming it runs deep. In Scandinavia, a belief in virtues like modesty and social solidarity makes people flinch from the idea of treating brainy children differently.(10) And in Japan there is a widespread belief that all children are born with the same innateabilities - and should therefore be treated alike. All are taught together, covering the same syllabus at the same rate until they finish compulsory schooling. Those who learn quickest are expected then to teach their classmates.(11) Statistics give little clue as to which system is best. The performance of the most able isheavily affected by factors other than state provision. Most state education in Britain is nominally non-selective, but middle-class parents try to live near the best schools. Ambitious Japanese parents have made private, out-of-school tuition a thriving business. And Scandinavia’s egalitarianism might work less well in places with more diverse populations and less competent teachers. For what it’s worth, the statistical data suggest that some countries, like Japan and Finland, can avoid selection and still thrive. But that does not mean that any country can ditch selection and do as well.(12) Mr. Polgar thought any child could be a prodigy given the right teaching, an early start andenough practice. Some say the key to success is simply hard graft. Judit, the youngest of the Polgar sisters, was the most driven, and the most successful; Zsofia, the middle one, was regarded as the most talented, but she was the only one who did not achieve the status of grand master. “Everything came easiest to her,〞said her older sister. “But she was lazy.〞IV.

They found that the affluent American society was filled with poverty , injustice and gypocrisy . They didn’t trust the adult world that didn’t belong to them and refused to take the ir beliefs and values .

Maybe at the first glance it is not inviting . It lacks glamour . It has no quick result . It demands patience . It depends on the exasperating and uncertain instruments of persuasion and democratic decision making .I think the author is right . Reforming the world is a little like fighting a military campaign in the Apennines , as soon as you capture one mountain range, anotherone looms just ahead . The problems are the same , too. Once some problems are brought under some kind of rough control , new problems take place . So we can’t solve all the problems at a time . We have to deal with one problem each time and change the world gradually and steadily . So problems can be handled in the same way that hard problems have been coped with before –piecemeal , pragmatically ,by the dogged efforts of many people . so I think in this particular time and place the fourth choice offers a b etter chance for remedying some of the world ‘s outrages than any other available starategy .Lesson Three The Use of ForceBy William Carlos WilliamsA.

Although all the selfishness chills the world like east winds, the whole human family is bathed with an element of love. How many persons we meet in houses, whom we scarcely speak to, whom yet we honor and who honor us! How many we see in the street, or sit with in church, whom, though silently, we warmly reioice to be with! Read the language of these wandering eye-beams. The heart knows.(2)The effect of the indulgence of this human affection is a certain friendly excitement. In poetry, and in common speech, the emotion of kindness and satisfaction which are felt towards others are likened to the material effects of fire; so swift, or much swift, more active, more cheering, are those fine inward irradiation. From the highest degree of passionate love, to the lowest degree of goodwill, they make sweetness of life.(3)Our intellectual and active powers increase with our affection. The scholar sits down to write, and all his years of meditation do not equip him with one good thought or happy expression; but it is necessary to write a letter to a friend—and forthwith troops of gentle thought invest themselves, on every hand, with chosen words.(4)See, in any house where virtue and self-respect wait, the excitement which the approach of a stranger causes. A commended stranger is expected andannounced, and uneasiness between pleasure and pain invades all the hearts of a household. His arrival almost brings fear to the good hearts that would welcome him. The house is dusted, all things fly into their places, the old coat is exchanged to the new, and they must get up a dinner if they can. Of a commended stranger, only the good report is told by others, only the good and new is heard by us. He stands to us for humanity. He is what we wish. Having imagined and invested him, we ask how we should stand related in conversation and action with such a man, and are uneasy with fear. The same idea exalts conversation with him. We talk better than we often do. We have the nimblest fancy, a richer memory, and our dumb devil has taken leave for the time. For long hours we can continue a series of sincere, graceful, rich communication, drawn from the oldest secret experience, so that they who sit by, of our own kinsfolk and acquaintance, shall feel a livelysurprise at our unusual powers. But as soon as the stranger begins to intrude his partialities, his definitions, his defects, into the conversation, it is all over. He has heard the first, the last and best he will ever hear from us. He is no more stranger now. Vulgarity, ignorance, misapprehension are old acquaintances. Now, when he comes, he may get the order, the dress, and the dinner, —but the throbbing of the heart, and the communications of the soul, no more.(5)What is so pleasant as these streams of affection which make a young world for me again What so delicious as a just and firm encounter of two, in a thought, in a feeling How beautiful, on their approach to this beating heart, the steps and forms of the gifted and true! The moment we indulge our affections, the earth is transformed; there is no winter, and no night; all tragedies, all boredom, vanish, —all duties even; nothing fills the proceeding eternity but the forms all radiant of beloved persons. Let the soul be assured that somewhere in the universe it should rejoin its friend, and it would be content and cheerful alone for a thousand years.(6)I awoke this morning with devout thanksgiving for my friends, the old and the new. Shall I not call God the beautiful, who daily shows himself so to me in his gifts I chide society. I embrace solitude, and yet I am not so ungrateful as not to see the wise, the lovely, and the noble-minded, as from time to time they pass my gate.Who hears me, who understands me, becomes mine, a possession for all the time. Nor is nature so poor but she gives me this joy several times, and thus we weave social threads of our own, a new web of relation; and as many thoughts in succession substantiate themselves, we shall by and by stand in a new world of our creation, and no longer strangers and pilgrims in a traditional globe.Il.

determined who would go first with a coin ______.A.toss B.fling考证素材C.twist D.throwRead the following passage carefully and complete the succeeding three items II,III,IV.To Kill or Not to Kill(1)Capital punishment has been in effect since the 1600’s.However, in 1972 the U.S.Supreme Court ruled that the death penalty was cruel and unusual punishment,which was unconstitutional according to the Eighth Amendment.It was public opinion that the current methods of execution,hanging,electrocution,and facing a firing squad,were too slow and painful upon the person to be executed.The U.S.Supreme Court reversed this decision when a cleaner way to bring about death was found in 1976.This cleaner way is death by lethal injection,which is quick and painless if administered right.(2)Many people have argued for and against capital punishment since it was reinstituted.Some say the death penalty is what the criminal deserves while others object to it because death is irreversible.I feel the death penalty is a good form of justice because only about 250 people a year get the death penalty and they are guilty beyond a doubt and don’t deserve living with the possibility of parole.(3)The sentencing judge or jury are ordered by the Supreme Court to look for specific aggravating and mitigating factors in deciding which convicted murderers should be sentenced to death.S ome of these mitigating factors are the defendant’s motivation, character, personal history, and most of all remorse.Every year approximately 250 new offenders are added to death row.In 1994 there were 2,850 persons awaiting execution.Yet no more than thirty-eight people have been executed a year since 1976.This is a ridiculously low number compared to 199 persons executed in 1935.(4)The reason for this slow execution rate is the process of appeals.From sentencing to execution there is about a seven-to-eight-year wait.The convicts’ cases are reviewed by the state courts and through the federal courts.With all this opportunity for the case to be turned over or the sentence to be changed it is almost impossible for an innocent person to be executed.Only two people have been proved innocent after their execution in the United States.These wrongful deaths occurred in 1918 and 1949.Since then the justice system has undergone a lot o f fine tuning making this extremely unlikely to day.(5)One argument against the death penalty is that it costs less to imprison someone for life than to考证素材execute them.This is a good point that has a 1o t of impact on a lot of people’s views regarding capital punishment since they are the ones footing the bill.through taxes.I personally would not mind paying the little bit extra just so I know for sure that there’s one 1ess murderer on our planet.If the death penalty was done away with,prisoners who should have been executed will be mixed in with other inmates.It would be possible and not too unlikely for them to kill another inmate or possibly a prison guard.If someone is lined up for execution then they more than likely deserve it.They have caused a great deal of grief to the family and friends of the victim or victims and it seems like the only way justice could be served is for the criminal to die.(6)For the person to simply go to jail seems unfair.There they will eat three meals a day, get to watch cable TV and befriend other inmates.They live a pretty decent 1ife in prison and they don’t deserve it.Out of the fifty states in the United States 37 have and use capital punishment.Out of the same fifty states only 18 have 1ife imprisonment without parole.In the other 32 states a person who should’ve been executed can b e released after as 1ittle as 20 years in prison.(7)There are certain standards that are followed in giving out capital punishment.The defendant can not be insane, and the real or criminal intent must be present.Also,minors very rarely receive the death penalty because they are not fully mature and might not know the consequences of their actions.Finally the mentally retarded are very seldom executed.The reason for not executing the retarded is that they often have difficulty defending themselves in court, have problems remembering details,locating witnesses,and testifying credibly on their own behalf.(8)If capital punishment were carried out more it would prove to be the crime deterrent it was partly intended to be.Most criminals would think twice before committing murder if they knew their own 1ives are at stake.As it turns out,as very few people are executed,so the death penalty is not a satisfactory deterrent.During highly publicized death penalty cases the homicide rate is found to go down but it goes back up when the case is over.(9)Thomas Edison,a famous scientist and American hero,helped develop and extensively promoted the electric chair.The electric chair was a popular method of execution from the 1930s to the 1970s.The death penalty is a punishment that will remain active for a long time in考证素材the future,even with all the criticism.It is an ancient way of dealing with extremely serious offences that plague our country today.Hopefully the appeals process will be shortened,but remain effective,so more criminals can be executed,making prospective criminals think twice.II.In this section,there are ten incomplete statements or questions,followed by four choices marked A,B,C and D.Choose the best answer and blacken the corresponding letter on your Answer Sheet.(20 points,2 points for each)16.The death sentence was instituted some ______ years ago.A.200 B.300C.400 D.5 0017.According to the first paragraph,people generally thought that ______.A.lethal injection was painful but quickB.death penalty was cruel and therefore should be abolishedC.facing a firing squad was a cleaner way for capital punishmentD.the methods then used to bring about death were slow and painful18.A method of execution that is not mentioned in

Read the following passage carefully and complete the succeeding four items:Ⅳ,Ⅴ,Ⅵand Ⅶ.Drivers in China1) I am in my mid-fifties, a senior citizen, living in Minnesota. Three summers ago, I left my family of three and spent six months in Shanghai, China, on a teaching tour. Like all other tourists, the experiences were new, exciting and somewhat strange to me.2) Like all other tourists I brought home many souvenirs, some warm friendship and many memories. Unlike the others, I also brought home some questions. I am still looking for answers to some of them. One of them is about Chinese driving habits.3) Chinese drivers, whether they be bus, taxi or truck drivers, have had to put up with endless traffic jams and unruly bicyclists. They also have had another chore on the unbelievably crowded streets; the scene you can only appreciate by picturing yourself amongst a crowd in a state fair. They turn the engine on and off during stops on intersections or traffic jams. They turn lights off in the night at intersections as well as on brightly lit streets. Every time I was close to a driver in a vehicle, I could not help noticing the poor driver putting the extra work to himself. It drove me so crazy that I had to find out the reasons.4) But the answers they gave me were always the same: to save gas and to avoid traffic accidents.5) Later, I was informed that several traffic accidents were caused by beaming lights that blinded the bikers and pedestrians as well as drivers from the opposite direction. I was somewhat satisfied with that answer. One question lingered however: how many accidents have been caused by invisible cars because the lights were turned off? Between the two evils which one is worse?6) I was not happy with the answer about gas saving. One day, I was traveling with my colleague Mr. Liu. I told him I never turned off my engine during short stops because restarting not only was hard on the battery but also would cause wear and tear on the starter. Cutting the engine during stops really saved very little gas. Apparently amused by my observation,Mr. Liu relayed the question to the driver.7) “To save gas. ”Click, the driver turned the engine off while answering. A few seconds later, he turned the key to start on the green light. The old engine coughed and failed to catch fire until after several attempts.8) “Professor Smith here,”Mr. Liu said to the driver,“has driven at least 20 years in America. Hetold me that to restart after a brief stop does not save much gas, and it is not good for the starter. It also wastes your battery power. ”9) “I was told to do this in my driving classes. ”10) “Your trainer could be wrong, you know,”said Mr. Liu. I guessed he was on my side because of my 20 years of driving experience.11) Why are Chinese drivers told to kill engines during short stops? What good does it do to …anything? How long have they done this? Who or what started that notion? I left China the following year puzzled.12) I had my questions partially answered in Japan, where I visited Jack, on my way back to the States.13) In the evening on the third day of my visit, he drove me back to the hotel in his Toyota(丰田车).I noticed the same curious maneuver that had bothered me in the streets of Shanghai.14)“Why do you turn the lights off every time you stop?”I decided to ask the easier question first.15)“We have strict regulations on handling vehicles in Japan. The regulation requires a driver to turn lights off at the intersections so they will not blind drivers from the other direction,”he said. “Now this practice has been accepted by the general population as a polite thing for a driver to do.A pedestrian will stop in front of your car and give you a disgusted stare if you leave lights on while stopping,”he added.16)“Why do you turn the engine off on red lights?”I continued with the second, more controversial question.17) “Well…”It took him a while to put his thoughts together and his words in proper places. “I was told that it would preserve battery power. You Americans are able to recharge batteries because you drive faster on freeways. Our driving speed hardly ever exceeds 35 miles per hour. ”18)“That might be a good reason a few years ago, but batteries are made better now. You should not have to worry about running out of power,”I argued. I didn't want to debate with him over the issue. My understanding was quite the contrary. Starting an engine requires a power surge, hence more battery power.19)Yes, this must be where the notion had come from, Japan. The Japanese have almost monopolized the entire automobile market in China. It is logic to assume that they would be the people to provide drivers' education. But where has that notion of fuel saving come from?20)“But they do it for different reasons. They told me they did it to save gas. ”21)“…I wonder where have they got that idea from? It does not make sense…”He started to ponder. “Even if it does conserve gas, the saving is so minute it is not worth the trouble. ”22)“Yes…I wonder …”I said. To this day I am still wondering.Ⅳ.
