London Mayor Boris Johnson will unveil plans today to make youngsters sign a‘courtesy pledge'（礼仪宣言） to promise to behave in a （69）D manner when travelling in the capital．
The three-point pledge states that they will give up their seats to the elderly，pregnant and disabled； avoid using （70）B or threatening language； and be courteous and polite to fellow passengers and staff．
Those who refuse，or are caught behaving in a loutish manner，will have their free travel passes （71）D．
The plan-a key part of Mr．Johnson's re-election bid-will （72）D affect the 400，000 11-to-15-year-olds in London who （73）B free travel cards，but Tory sources believe the idea could be used across the country．
A Conservative insider said：‘The （74）D matches perfectly with the push to create a Big Society．It is about changing culture and expectations around behavior to improve the（75）A on buses and trains for everyone．'
Speaking before today's launch，Mr．Johnson said he was determined to（76）B the anti-social behavior of a‘minority of youngsters'on public transport．
‘When I was a boy，I was taught to stand up for those less able to，'he said，‘Youngsters enjoy the privilege of free travel，which is paid for by Londoners，but they have to understand that with that privilege comes（77）D．Anyone who abuses this privilege will have it taken away，and will have to earn that right back．'
Teenagers found （78）C a serious breach（违反） of the new behavior code will lose their travel passes，and will have to carry out unpaid community work to have them（79）B．
Mr．Johnson is also introducing a‘two strikes and you're out'policy to deal with offenders，under which those committing a second serious breach of the code will lose their travel rights （80）B．
The move follows an earlier initiative of Mr Johnson's that banned the（81）D of alcohol on public transport in the capital，which is credited with helping to（82）C crime rates on buses and trains．
