The annual campaign to make Singapore’s three million people more polite ended yesterday and was immediately followed by another drive to get them to be punctual.
Tardiness is not yet a criminal offence in the island republic, and the National Punctuality Working Committee can only use gentle persuasion. "Being on time means being considerate," said committee chairman Toh Weng Cheng. Previous drives made little headway in changing a deeply rooted habit that seems oddly out of place in this otherwise efficient city-state. Tardiness at dinner parties is usually attributed to Chinese tradition, a belief that older and more important guests were expected to make an entrance after the others.
Meanwhile, officials will assess the results of the 15th annual courtesy (礼貌) campaign, a HK $2.4 million drive to persuade Singaporeans to mind their manners.
Earlier courtesy campaigns used posters, films, advertisements in newspapers and magazines to portray considerate behavior. The publicity this year stressed courtesy through examples of discourtesy. Few countries use elaborate public campaigns to change behavior and raise civic consciousness. It has been a way of life in Singapore for more than 30 years. Some, like the courtesy drive, deal with basic habits and culture. October was first declared "Speak Mandarin Month" in 1978, an effort to wipe out regional Chinese dialects in favor of the official tongue.
Others focus on problems of the day. The police launched a drive in 1989 to stop abuse of the emergency phone number 999, because one call in five was of the nuisance or non-emergency variety. Some campaigns have been so successful that they have been reversed. Family planners urged parents to "Stop at Two" in 1978. Birth rates dropped from 3. 5 percent in 1960 to 1. 2 percent in 1980, and families who can afford it are now encouraged to "Have Three or More". By the early 1980s, the growth of campaigns inspired one exhausted newspaper columnist to suggest a " take your campaigns seriously campaign".
Which of the following statements is not direcdy said but implied in the passage?
选项
A、All the campaigns are to improve people’s behavior.
B、There are too many campaigns in Singapore.
C、The more campaigns, the more efficient they are.
D、Almost all campaigns in Singapore don’t amount to anything.
答案
B
解析
A显然错误,最后一段中对人口控制的运动就不是to improve people’s behavior;C毫无根据;D也太绝对,没有根据;B可以从文章最后一句话中这位“exhausted"的专栏作者和他的建议中推出。答案是B。
