It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life, but manners on the roads are becoming horrible. 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 altogether. You might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rude and inconsiderate drive, but nowadays the well men neared 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 politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized behaviour. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today. Many drivers nowadays don’ t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see lt.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who brakes violently to allow a car to emerge from a side street at some hazard to following traffic, when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway; or the men who waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.
A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help ff motorists learnt to filter correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modem motorists can’ t even learn to drive, let alone master the subtler aspects of boatmanship. Years ago the experts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot more give and take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
The author argues that road politeness ______ .
选项
A、can better the traffic unconditionally
B、calls for a driver’s cool-headed and good-tempered personality
C、can be found after the modem traffic conditions stand up
D、are acknowledged by most drivers
答案
B
解析
观点态度题。文章第二段第二句“It takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized behaviour.”在遇到不文明的行为时,司机需要头脑冷静,心境平和,才不至于以粗暴还粗暴。而A项的“道路礼貌不论何时都能有助于缓和交通状况”则是片面的,文中第三段就讲到了滥用礼貌的危险。C项颠倒了方法与结果,只有具备了礼貌才能建立起文明的现代交通状况,而不是相反。D项错误,并非大多数司机都能遵循道路礼貌原则。
