"Road rage", a psychological byproduct of auto society, refers to the uncontrollable anger of a driver on the road, and it usually leads to more severe conflicts. With the number of cars booming in China, it is more likely for Chinese drivers to suffered from road rage. The phenomenon is further highlighted by a recent survey in which 35 percent of 900 respondents admitted they had been guilty of aggressive driving including sudden lane changes and overtaking by force. The following article is about road rage in China. Write an article of NO LESS THAN 300 words, in which you should:
1. summarize the main idea of the article, and then
2. express your opinion towards road rage in China.
China to Its Reckless Drivers: Rein in Your Road Rage Bad driving
The past few weeks, state media have reported several grievous examples of road rage across China.
In early May, a BMW car driven by a young woman collided with a bus in the eastern city of Xuzhou when she tried to change lane. During an ensuing argument, the woman asked two male friends to assault the bus driver—and then verbally abused traffic policemen upon their arrival.
During the same week, a Mercedes-Benz car driver ran over and killed an elderly man in the southwestern city of Kunming, after the driver tried to cut in line at a toll booth and got into an argument with the victim’s family.
One of the most disturbing incidents was caught on camera on May, as a high-speed chase between two cars in the southwestern Chinese city of Chengdu only ended when the male driver forced the female driver ahead of him to stop under an elevated highway. What happened next shocked and outraged the nation: He dragged her out of the car, threw her to the ground and viciously beat her—showing no mercy even when she tried to escape.
Not so fast
Public opinion shifted, however, when dashcam footage from the male driver’s car emerged. That video, taken before the incident, showed the female driver cutting in front of him at the last second to take a nearly missed highway exit.
Many of the woman’s sympathizers online turned against her, stirring a national debate on drivers behaving badly and road rage—with thousands of comments calling reckless driving as appalling as wanton violence.
Law of the jungle
Under the watchful eyes of her instructor, Liang meticulously practiced the steps of starting a manual-shift car. Like the nearly 28 million people who received a new driver’s license last year, she also had to sit through a class on how to become a "safe and civilized driver."
The class and a mandatory test on the subject are all part of the government’s effort to nip the problems of bad drivers and road rage in the bud, as the authorities tighten traffic rules and increase penalties for violators.
"Offensive driving caused by road rage is a severe violation of law that disrupts traffic order and endangers safety," said the Ministry of Public Security in a statement after the Chengdu incident. "Drivers should consciously overcome their road rage."
Traffic police departments in cities like Beijing even produce nightly television shows that air on local channels, highlighting the potentially deadly consequences of road rage through footage of horrific accidents.
For now, the law of the jungle—anything goes—still seems to rule the streets of China, with millions of new cars and news drivers hitting the road every year that may add to the chaos, anger and danger.

答案
Safe Traffic Starts from Controlling Road Rage Reportedly, road rage has swept across China in the past few weeks. Drivers got into severe physical altercations for traffic conflict such as lane cutting, fast driving and speed racing, which arouses serious social problems as well as a heated nationwide discussion on drivers’ violent behaviors and road rage. In order to prevent road rage from frequently happening, government has kept a tight rein on the driving tests and traffic rules, and launched a more extensive campaign, trying to improve drivers’ behaviors through regulatory means. Yet with an increasing number of vehicles and drivers hitting the road, road rage seems to be worsening. From where I stand, road rage is a social illness that results from not only the driver himself but also the slack regulation of government. On the one hand, along with the development of society, people are faced with various stresses and yet have few places to let out. Naturally, drivers are inclined to release their anger on the road and enter into conflicts with others, causing all kinds of road tragedies and even posing a potential threat to pedestrians. Therefore, it is high time that drivers learnt to control their stress and mood before driving by seeking for professional help. On the other hand, cars and drivers are constantly increasing due to lack of governmental restraints. No relevant rules are set on car purchase, leading to more vehicles and increasingly crowded traffic on the road. Plus, the current driving test cannot ensure a new driver fully master safe driving on the road. In that aspect, government shall put forward a more systematic driving test so that drivers can fully grasp traffic rules. In conclusion, road rage has aroused social concerns over China, which requires mutual efforts of drivers and government on solving this issue. Hopefully, no traffic tragedy will happen again, leaving a safe and civilized journey on the road for every individual.
解析
材料由三部分组成,可从两方面来概括:中国路怒症的现状与政府对此采取的措施。
前两部分通过三个交通案件呈现了当前中国的路怒症现状。由于驾驶不当(Bad driving)出现争执,导致殴打公交司机(assault the bus driver),侮辱交警(abused traffic policemen)甚至撞死老人(killed an elderly man)等种种严重后果。其中引起广泛关注的是男司机由于残暴殴打(viciously beat)女司机备受指责。以上案例均说明了当前中国的路怒症现状恶劣,亟需相关部门的管制。
第三部分则说明了政府对此采取的措施,包括开设课程教育司机成为安全文明驾驶员(become a“safe and civilized driver”)、收紧交通法规(tighten traffic rules)以及加大违法惩处力度(increase penalties for violators)。此外,北京市还制作夜间电视节目(nightly television)增强民众的安全意识。
开篇:总结材料大意——中国路怒症的现状,以及政府对此所采取的措施。
主体:提出个人观点——路怒症是一种病,其解决需要个人与政府的共同努力。分析路怒症产生的原因。并提出相关建议。
