单选题{{B}}Passage Four{{/B}} 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 bank, but to have one in the driver's seat is another matter altogether. You might tolerate the rude and inconsiderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered 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 then subjected to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions of driving. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to are ate 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 it. However, improper 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 man 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 want to. A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists learnt to filter correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages (堵塞) that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists can't even learn to drive, let alone be well-mannered on the road. 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 us to take this message to heart.

单选题Many theories concerning the causes of juvenile delinquency (crimes committed by young people) focus either on the individual or on society as the major contributing influence. Theories (21) on the individual suggest that children engage in criminal behavior (22) they were not sufficiently penalized for previous misdeeds or that they have learned criminal behavior through (23) with others. Theories focusing on the role of society suggest that children commit crimes in (24) to their failure to rise above their socioeconomic status, (25) as a rejection of middle-class values. Most theories of juvenile delinquency have focused on children from disadvantaged families, (26) the fact that children from wealthy homes also commit crimes. The latter may commit crimes (27) lack of adequate pa- rental control. All theories, however, are tentative and are (28) to criticism.

单选题Aging poses a serious challenge to OECD (Organization of Economic Co-operation and Development) countries, in particular, how to pay for future public pension liabilities. And early retirement places an (1) burden on pension financing. There is no easy solution, but (2) retirement could help. Early retirement may seem like a worthy individual goal, but it is a socially (3) one, and makes the present public pension system difficult to sustain for long. The (4) reason is that more people are retiring early and living longer. That means more retirees depending on the (5) of those in work for their income. The (6) is worrying. In the next 50 years, low fertility rates and (7) life expectancy in OECD countries will cause this old-age dependency rate to roughly double (8) size. Public pension payments, which afford 30% ～ 80% of total retirement incomes in OECD countries, are (9) to rise, on average, by over three percentage points in GDP and by as much as eight percentage points in some countries. (10) is the pressure on pension funds that there is a danger of today's workers not getting the pensions they expected or felt they (11) for. Action is needed, (12) simply aiming to reduce the (13) (and cost) of public pensions, or trying to (14) the role of privately funded pensions within the system, though necessary steps, may be (15) to deal with the dependency challenge. After years of (16) early retirement schemes to avoid (17) and higher unemployment, many governments are now looking (18) persuading people to stay in work until they are older. Surely, the thinking goes, if we are healthier now and jobs are physically less (19) and unemployment is down, then perhaps the (20) rate should rise anew.
