She showed me a list of tunes, and I a family favorite. “Thank you, Jacquelyn,” Sister said, “Next, please.”

After a while, when the other children studied music, Sister looked kindly at me. “Jacquelyn, have you heard the expression tone-deaf? It means you think you are singing is from the music.” Sister patted my hand. “ , it’s nothing to be ashamed of, dear. You can take part in it. You may mouth the words, but no . Do you understand what I’m saying?”

All right. But I was so . After school I took the bus straight to Aunt Dolly’s house for help. “What will I do?” I sobbed. “If I don’t sing, will think I don’t love him.”

She thought hard. Finally her eyes grew . “I’ve got it!” she said. “I will wear my hat!” She her brown eyes on my face. Her voice . “Jacquelyn, I’m about to a bit of secret information about angels, but first you must swear that you will never tell a soul.”

“When I was in Rome,” she said, “I overheard a conversation. It seems that other tone-deaf people also have about God not understanding their in song. They were told that a simple piece of aluminum foil(锡纸) hid in the hat can help. Your silent words off the foil. Angels capture the words and they carry up to God.”

At the performance, I did just as told to. With my eyes on her hat, the fact that none present could hear my voice didn’t . My silent singing was for God’s ears .

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 horrible. 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 good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed 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 quarreling 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 calm and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are 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. Typical examples are the driver who waves to a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not 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 traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master good skills. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is time for all of us to take this message to heart.

A. road politeness B. traffic jams
