It is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams,the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life,but manners on the road are becoming horrible. 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 altogether.
Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-head?ed 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 and calm so necessary in modern traffic condition. But such behav?iors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to rec?ognize politeness when they see it.
However，misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves at a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not 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 feel?ings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can't even learn to drive. 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.

A. road conditions B. the speed of modern life
C. the behavior of the drivers D. the large number of cars
( ) 6. In the writer's opinion, .

5-8 CDDA
B篇文章主要講述了開車時要注意禮儀及如何正確講究開車禮儀，同時提出了相關的建議。
5.C事實判斷題。由第一段中的文字Every-body 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 altogether可知作者認為很多開車的人一旦開車上路，就像跑出籠子的老虎，會惹出很多事情。所以C為正確答案。
6.D深層理解題。第三段第一句話清楚地表明了作者的觀點：開車中的禮儀重要，但要注重在恰當的場合講究禮儀。接下去作者又舉例對此進行了解釋。
7.D邏輯推理題。文章在最后一段談到開車的人應當盡量避免造成堵塞而使得心情不愉快，然而很多開車人并不注意這一點。然后作者又借專家之口提出建議，即…the fast in?crease of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users.由此可以推斷"give-and-take"實際上指的是"(在開車時) 互相禮讓"，即D答案。
8.A主旨大意題。文章先談到開車人很多時候造成道路上的麻煩，然后又提到開車人要注意正確對待開車的禮儀，然后談到開車中要互相禮讓，所以D為文章最好的標題。

In Englandthree foreign gentlemen came to a bus stop. They studied the information on the post sign and decided which bus to take. About five minutes later the bus they wanted came along. They prepared to get on. Suddenly people rushed onto the bus and tried to push them out of the way. Someone shouted insulting remarks about the foreigners. The bus conductor came rushing down the stairs to see what all the trouble was about. The three foreign gentlemen looked puzzled and ashamed. No one had told them about the British custom of lining up for a bus so that the first person who arrived at a bus stop is the first person to get on the bus.
Learning the language of a country isn't enough. If you want to ensure a pleasant visit, find out as much as possible about the manners and customs of your hosts. You will probably be surprised just how different they can be from your own. A visitor toIndiawould do well to re?member that people there consider it impolite to use the left hand for passing food at table. The left hand is supposed to be used for washing yourself. Also in India, You might see a man ap?parently shaking his head at another and assume(認為) that he is disagreeing. But in many parts of India a rotating(旋轉) movement of the head is a gesture that express agreement or accept?ance. Nodding your head when offered a drink inBulgariais likely to leave you thirsty. In that country, you shake your head to express "yes"― a nod means "no".
In Europe it is quite usual to cross your legs when sitting，talking to someone，even at an important meeting. Doing this when meeting an important person in Thailand, however,could cause offence(冒犯) .It is considered too informal an attitude for such an occasion. Also when in Thailand avoid touching the head of an adult― it's just not done.
Attitudes to women vary considerably around the world. In Japan, for example, it is quite usual for men to plan evening entertainments for themselves and leave their wives at home.
Knowing about customs and attitudes is useful when you are traveling，but you also need to know the language used to express different degrees of formality(禮節(jié)) .

I don't know how I became a writer, but I think it was because of a certain force in me that had to write and that finally burst through and found a channel. My people were of the working class of people. My father, a stonecutter, was a man with a great respect and veneration(崇敬) for literature. He had a tremendous memory, and he loved poetry, and the poetry that he loved best was naturally of the rhetorical kind that such a man would like. Nevertheless it was good poetry, Hamlet's Macbeth, Mark Antony's Funeral Oration, Grey's Elegy, and all the rest of it. I heard it all as a child;I memorized and learned it all.
He sent me to college to the state university. The desire to write,which had been strong during all my days in high school, grew stronger still. I was editor of the college paper, the col?lege magazine, etc.，and in my last year or two I was a member of a course in play writing which had just been established there. I wrote several little one-act plays, still thinking I would become a lawyer or a newspaper man，never daring to believe I could seriously become a writ?er. Then I went to Harvard,wrote some more plays there, became obsessed with(著迷于) the idea that I had to be a playwright, left Harvard,had my plays rejected, and finally in the autumn of 1926, how,why,or in what manner I have never exactly been able to determine. But probably because the force in me that had to write at length sought out its channel, I began to write my first book in London. I was living all alone at that time. I had two rooms―a bedroom and a sitting room―in a little square in Chelsea in which all the houses had that familiar, smoked brick and cream-yellow-plaster look.
( ) 1. We may conclude，in regard to the author's development as a writer，that his father
A.made an important contribution
B.insisted that he choose writing as a career
C.opposed his becoming a writer
D.insisted that he read Hamlet in order to learn how to be a writer
( ) 2. The author believes that he became a writer mostly because of .
A. his special talent B. his father's teaching and encouragement
C. his study at Harvard D. a hidden urge within him
( ) 3. The author .
A.began to think of becoming a writer at Harvard
B.had always been successful in his writing career
C.went to Harvard to learn to write plays
D.worked as a newspaper man before becoming a writer
( ) 4. The author really started on his way to become a writer .
A. when he was in high school B. when he was studying at Harvard
C. when he lived in London D. after he entered college
( ) 5. What can we learn about the author's life in the autumn of 1926?
A.He left Harvard and got married.
B.He couldn't make up his mind what to do.
C.He started his dream as a writer.
D.He began to think seriously what to do.
