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 a good sense. It takes the most coolheaded 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 becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behavior of politeness is 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. A typical example is 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.‎ An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in a 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 (公路驾车技能). Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more giveandtake (互谅互让) from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.‎ ‎11．The passage mainly talks about ________.‎ A．traffic jams B．good manners C．road politeness D．modern drivers ‎12．Troubles on the road are often caused by ________.‎ A．traffic jams B．the behavior of the drivers C．the great speed of modern life D．terrible road conditions ‎13．According to the writer, a good driver should ________.‎ A．encourage children to cross the road whenever they want to B．beat back when forced to face rude driving C．be able to recognize politeness when he sees it D．join in a traffic stream quickly however other people feel ‎14．It is not always right for drivers to ________.‎ A．master the roadmanship B．neglect politeness when they see it C．give a friendly nod in answer to an act of politeness D．encourage old ladies to cross the road whenever and wherever they want to ‎ Mr. Baker lived in an old and low house. His wife was blind in both eyes and the two children were very young. All his family often went hungry. He had nothing but a small piece of field. One autumn he grew some wheat in his field.

He found an inn and wanted to stay there for the night. After he had gone to his room, the owner said to his wife, “Look at his bag, dear. I’m sure there are lots of valuable things in it. I want to steal it when he is asleep.”‎ ‎“No, no,” said the woman. “He must look for his bag tomorrow morning. Then he’ll take you before the judge.” They thought and at last the woman had an idea. “We have forgetful grass,” said the woman, “Why not put some into his food? If he has the food, he will forget to take his bag away.” “How clever you are!” said the owner, “Don’t forget it when you prepare supper for him.”‎ The old man had the food with the forgetful grass and went to bed. The next morning, when the owner got up, he found the door was open and the old man had left with his bag. He woke his wife up and said angrily, “What a fool! Your forgetful grass isn’t useful at all.”‎ ‎“No, no,” said the woman. “I don’t think so.

It was seen more as a medium to inform the buyers rather than persuade them to buy. The present day marketers see advertisement as a medium to damage the image of their competitors and their products. This indeed, is an undesirable and an immoral practice. Instead of speaking about their own products, these marketers speak about the drawbacks (often without any basics) of the competing products.‎ People watching TV advertisements would notice that there has always been an advertisement war between the marketers of different consumer goods. A few such cases are given below.‎ ‎1. Parachute Coconut Oil vs. V.V.D. Gold Some time back, the producer of V.V.D Gold Coconut Oil claimed in their TV advertisement that only their products was superior and the one sold in blue colour bottles (the reference was to Parachute coconut oil) was suitable only for un-natural hair.‎ ‎2. Tata Salt vs. Captain Cook Tata salt was first iodised (碘处理) salt marketed by an Indian Company. It has been enjoying a good and steady market. Captain Cook, another producer of iodised salt, who entered the market later, had to adopt some strategy to get control of the market. The TV advertisement of Captain Cook stressed on ‘Free flow’ of their salt when transferred to a container. The producer of Tata Salt retaliated (报复) by saying that the claim of Captain Cook was a trick and those who were quality conscious should deal with it with caution.‎ ‎3. Pepsi vs. Coco Cola Coca Cola was selected as the official soft drink for the Wills World Cricket 1996. When the cricket series was on, the marketers of Pepsi constantly advertised on TV. Their advertisement gave the idea that the cricketers preferred only Pepsi and as a matter of fact there was nothing official about it.‎ ‎4. Horlicks vs. Complan Sometime back, the TV advertisement of Complan, a health drink directly attacked Horlicks,‎ ‎ which has been in the market for several decades. The claim of Complan was that their brand (which according to them was Brand C) has a higher percentage of ingredients (材料) compared to Brand H (reference was nothing but to Horlicks).‎ The above examples clearly show how the technique of advertisement is misused by some marketers to ruin the image of their competitors. This, certainly, is not a healthy trend.‎ Any marketer should only speak about his products and not about his competitors’ products. The awareness of consumers has certainly increased over the years and they are no longer easily taken in. There are many consumer products like salt, oil shaving blades etc. But one thing for sure is that offering the same product in a different container will not make the product different.‎ Mass media like Radio, Television and newspaper should not allow advertisements that tell lies. Legal regulations, in this regard, should also be made stricter.‎ Comparison of the past and the present of advertisements In the past At present A technique mainly used for offering 45．‎ A trick used as a means of unfair 46．‎ The 47． of advertisement ‎48．‎ Products Wrong practices V.V.D. Gold When V.V.D Gold attacked the one sold in blue bottles, it 49．to Parachute Coconut oil.‎ Captain Cook Captain Cook stressed on their “free flow” when their product was 50．to a container.‎ Tata Salt Tata salt retaliated by warning consumers to be 51．about the quality.‎ Pepsi Too much advertisement on TV seemed to say that the cricketers had a 52．for Pepsi.‎ Complan Brand C claimed that their product was much richer in ingredients in53．with Brand H.‎ Solutions ‎54．products. are not allowed to be mentioned in the advertisement.‎ Stricter laws should be made to protect every producers’ and consumers’ benefits.‎ 六、根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Cultural shock isn’t a clinic term or medical condition.

Furthermore, I strongly advise that we should never sit too long in front of computers because it is bad for our health.‎
