It is all very well to blame traffic jam, the cost of petrol and the fast pace of modern life, but manners on the roads are becoming
deplorable
. Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. It is all very well again, to have a tiger in the tank, but to have one in the driver’ s seat is another matter. You might tolerate the odd road-hog(占道者), but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation calls for a " Be Kind to Other Drivers" campaign, otherwise it may get completely out of hand.
Road courtesy is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most Good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to hit back when subjected to uncivilized behavior. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of courtesy helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of courtesy are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don t even seem able to recognize courtesy when they see it.
Contrary to general opinion, young drivers have better manners than their seniors. But this is short-lived in the world of modern driving where many drivers neither expect nor give any mercy. This may be encouraged on the battlefield but is out of place on the roads.
Lorry drivers say they have almost abandoned the practice of signaling cars to overtake when the road is clear, because many of the cars took too long to pass. They couldn’ t be bothered to select a lower gear. The car drivers, after overtaking, slowed down again and hogged the road. A— gain, a motoring magazine has recently drawn attention to the increasing number of drivers who never wait for gaps. "They manufacture them by force, using their direction indicators as a threat rather than a warning." Punch-ups (打群架) are quite common. It can’t be long before we hear of pistols and knives being used.
Driving is essentially a state of mind. However technically skilled a driver may be, he can’ t be an advanced motorist if he is always arrogant and aggressive.
It can be learned from Paragraph 3 that_____.
选项
A、young drivers are more aggressive
B、young drivers would soon lose their good manners
C、elder drivers are more cautious
D、elder drivers should improve their driving skills
答案
B
解析
本题问的是从第三段中可以学到什么。根据题干可以定位到第三段,该段第一句讲到,年轻司机比年长司机更懂得礼貌,但这是暂时的,因为大部分司机既不期望也不给予宽容。据此可知,B项“不久,年轻司机也会失去他们的礼貌行为”为正确答案。
