What are the basic elements of good manners?Certainly a strong sense of justice is one. Courtesy (礼貌)is often 16 more than a highly developed sense of fair play. A friend of mine once told me of 17 along a one-lane (单行道),unpaved(未铺好的)-mountain road. 18 was another car that produced clouds of choking 19 ,and it was a long way to the nearest 20 highway. Suddenly,at a 21 place,the car ahead pulled off the road. 22 that its owner might have engine trouble,my friend stopped and asked if anything was wrong. “ 23 . ”said the other driver,“But you’ve endured my dust this far,I’ll 24 with yours the rest of the way. ”
Another element of courtesy is empathy(善解人意),a 25 that enables a person to see into the mind or heart of someone else,to understand the pain or 26 there and to do something to minimize(使最小)it. A man 27 alone in a restaurant was trying to unscrew(旋松,旋下)the cap of a beer bottle, 28 he couldn’t do it because of badly injured 29 . He asked a young busboy to help him. The boy took the bottle,turned his back 30 and loosened the cap without difficulty. Then he 31 it again. Turning back to the man,he 32 to make great efforts to open the bottle without success. 33 he took it into the kitchen and returned shortly,saying that he had managed to loosen it,but only with a pair of pliers(钳子).
Yet another component(组成部分)of politeness is the ability to treat all people 34 ,regardless of all status or importance. 35 when you have doubts about some people,act as if they are worthy of your best manners,you may also be astonished to find out that they really are.
Courtesy is the key to a happier world.
