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 terrible. 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 cool-headed (头脑冷静的) drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when they are 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(用错了地方的) 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 told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in a traffic stream without causing total blockages( 拥堵) that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can't even learn to drive, let alone(更不用说) master the roadman ship ( 公路驾车技能). Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give and take( 互谅互让) from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.

Jeremy was born with a twisted body, and terminal illness slowly killing him throughout his young life. Still, his parents had tried to give him as normal a life as possible and had sent him to St. Theresa's Elementary School.

She put that egg down so she wouldn’t embarrass him. Suddenly Jeremy spoke up and said "Aren't you going to talk about my egg?" Doris replied, "But Jeremy - your egg is empty!" He looked into her eyes and said softly, "Yes, but Jesus' tomb was empty too!"

Doris asked him, "Do you know why the tomb was empty?" "Oh yes!" Jeremy exclaimed. "Jesus was killed and put there. Then His Father raised Him up!"

The morning had been a disaster. My tooth was aching, and I'd been in an argument with a friend. Her words still hurt:“The trouble with you is that you won't put yourself in my place. Can't you see things from my point of view?”I shook my head stubbornly—and felt the ache in my tooth. I'd thought I could hold out till my dentist came back from holiday, but the pain was really unbearable. I started calling the dentists in the phone book, but no one could see me immediately. Finally, at about lunchtime, I got lucky.

If you come by right now, ”the receptionist said, “the dentist will fit you in.”

I took my purse and keys and rushed to my car .But suddenly I began to doubt about the dentist. What kind of dentist would be so eager to treat someone at such short notice?Why wasn't he as busy as the others?

In the dentist's office, I sat down and looked around. I saw nothing but the bare walls and I became even more worried. The assistant noticed my nervousness and placed her warm hand over my ice-cold one.

When I told her my fears, she laughed and said, “Don't worry. The dentist is very good.”

“How long do I have to wait for him?”I asked impatiently. “Come on, he is coming. Just lie down and relax. And enjoy the artwork, ”the assistant said. “The artwork?”I was puzzled.

The chair went back. Suddenly I smiled. There was a beautiful picture, right where I could enjoy it:on the ceiling. How considerate the dentist was!At that moment, I began to understand what my friend meant by her words.

What a relief!

An Israeli law banning too skinny models went into effect with the start of 2013. The law, approved last March in Israel, requires models to prove they have maintained a Body Mass Index (BMI) of at least 18.5 for three months before a fashion show. That means a woman who is 68 inches tall can weigh no less than 119 pounds.

“This law is another step in the war against eating disorders,” said physician Adatto. “Underweight models,” he explained, “can no longer serve as role models for innocent young people who copy their false image of being skinny.”

But some critics in this country say it is misguided, focusing on weight instead of health. They also say the Israeli ban is bound to fail because of the strong power of the fashion industry. “I think it’s an approach that isn’t going to work.” said eating disorder expert Susan Ice, who worked with an organization which creates a healthy working environment for models.

But Adatto told the reporter that he began to concern the issue after meeting an ambitious model who looked like she needed to be hospitalized. He said. “I realized that only legislation(立法) can change the situation. There was no time to waste; so many girls were dieting to death.”

However, the efforts to regulate models’ weight in Spain and Italy have not resulted in significant changes in part because of difficulties in determining reliable methods of measuring weight and health.

Still, folks including Ice say there’s no denying that images from Hollywood and the fashion industry can be difficult for young women to deal with. “Certainly I don't believe the modeling industry has caused the rise in eating disorders, but it makes it harder,” she says. “It’s a difficult recovery environment, worshiping thinness as the beauty ideal.”

1. One benefit the new Israeli law may bring is ________.

A. to change the working conditions of models

B. to prevent models from suffering from eating disorders

C. to provide guidance for women worshiping thinness

D. to lower the chance of skinny models’ death

2.In the opinion of the critics, the law won’t succeed because .

A. it misleads young women to form a bad eating habit.

B. the fashion industry is much too influential.

C. it doesn’t create a healthy working environment for models.

D. it doesn’t provide a proper approach that can work well.

3. What caused Adatto to think that a law was needed to change the situation?

A. Being interviewed by a reporter.

B. Establishing his fashion model agent.

C. Meeting an ambitious but too skinny model.

D. Seeing a model die from eating disorders.

4.According to the passage, the new Israeli law banning skinny models is .

A. practical B. reasonable

C. acceptable D. argumentative
