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【C1】______men become monsters behind the wheel. You might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rude and【C2】______driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule. Perhaps the situation【C3】______a "Be Kind to Other Drivers" campaign,【C4】______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 of drivers to【C5】______the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way【C6】______relieving the tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement【C7】______an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so【C8】______in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too【C9】______today. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to【C10】______politeness when they see it. 【C11】______, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who brakes violently to【C12】______a car to emerge from a side street at some【C13】______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【C14】______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 care to. A【C15】______driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help【C16】______motorists learnt to filter correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise to bad temper.【C17】______, modern motorists can't even learn to drive, let alone【C18】______the subtler aspects of roadsmanship. Years ago the experts warned us that the car-ownership【C19】______would demand a lot more give-and-take from all road users. It is【C20】______time for all of us to take this message to heart.

"Nanny" , "tyrant"—these were among the charges hurled at Michael Bloomberg, New York"s mayor, when he proposed a ban on big fizzy-drink bottles last May. The billionaire shrugged and pushed forward. However even Mr Bloomberg must heed a court order. The American Beverage Association, which represents Coca-Cola and other soda companies, has sued. Mr Bloomberg"s ban is due to start on March 12th, but a judge may intervene. Three years after Michelle Obama launched her Let"s Move! campaign, the fight against childhood obesity faces a tactical problem. Recent years have been dipping obesity rates in a few places, including New York, Mississippi and Philadelphia. But 17% of American children are still obese. The question is how to speed up progress. Further bans look increasingly unlikely. Voluntary programs remain politically much easier. Mrs Obama has exhorted firms to take action. Many companies have. On March 6th the Partnership for a Healthier America, a business group, published a report praising its members for putting more grocers in poor areas and healthier foods at restaurants. Sixteen food and beverage companies have promised to slash a combined 1. 5 trillion calories from their products by 2015. Their first progress report is due in June. The long-term effect of these efforts may be slim. For example, even if the food and drink firms keep their promise, they would cut just 14 calories from the average American"s daily diet. Regulations might bring bigger change, but recent years suggest that such rules will come slowly, if at all. Congress did pass a law requiring healthier school lunches, though its effects are limited. Other attempts at national regulation have stalled. Four federal agencies studied voluntary guidelines to limit junk-food advertisements to children. Under pressure from Congress, the agencies dropped the effort. Obamacare requires that all restaurants and cinemas post the number of calories in their foods. The Food and Drug Administration proposed a rule for menus in 2011 , but has yet to finalise the regulation. Cities and states are more likely to act than Congress(hardly a high bar), but they face their own challenges. Last year the beverage lobby spent more than $ 2. 8m to defeat a soda tax in the small city of Richmond, California. Even Mr Bloomberg, the anti-obesity crusade"s most fervent warrior, can only do so much.

A new economics paper has some old-fashioned advice for people navigating the stresses of life: Find a spouse who is also your best friend. Social scientists have long known that【C1】______ people tend to be happier, but they debate whether that is because marriage causes happiness or simply because happier people are more【C2】______ to get married. The new paper, 【C3】______by the National Bureau of Economic Research, controlled for pre-marriage happiness levels. It【C4】______that being married makes people happier and more satisfied【C5】______their lives than those who remain single—particularly during the most stressful periods, like【C6】______crises. Even as fewer people are marrying, the disadvantages of remaining single have broad【C7】______. It's important【C8】______marriage is increasingly a force behind inequality.【C9】______marriages are more common among educated, high-income people, and increasingly out of reach for those who are not. That divide appears to【C10】______not just people' s income and family stability, but also their happiness and stress levels. A quarter of today's young adults will have never married by 2030, which would be the highest【C11】______ in modern history, according to Pew Research Center.【C12】______both remaining unmarried and divorcing are more common among less-educated, lower-income people. 【C13】______, high-income people still marry at high rates and are less likely to divorce. Those whose lives are most difficult could 【C14】______most from marriage, according to the economists who wrote the new paper, John Helliwell and Shawn Grover. "Marriage may be most important when there is that stress in life and when things are going【C15】______," Mr. Grover said. 【C16】______marital happiness long outlasted the honeymoon period.【C17】______some social scientists have argued that happiness levels are innate, so people return to their natural level of well-being【C18】______joyful or upsetting events, the researchers found that the benefits of marriage persist. One【C19】______for that might be the role of friendship within marriage. Those who【C20】______their spouse or partner to be their best friend get about twice as much life satisfaction from marriage as others, the study found.

By persistent and sustained practice, anyone and everyone can make the yoga journey and reach the goal of enlightenment and freedom. Krishna, Buddha, and Jesus lie in the hearts of all. They are not film stars,【C1】______idols of worship. They are great inspirational figures whose example is there to be followed. They act as our role models today. Just as they reached Self-Re-alization,【C2】______may we. Many of you may worry that you are【C3】______to meet the challenges that lie ahead. I want to【C4】______you that you can. I am a man who started from【C5】______; I was heavily disadvantaged in many ways. After much time and effort, I began to reach somewhere. I literally【C6】______from darkness to light, from mortal sickness to health, from crude【C7】______to immersion in the ocean of knowledge by one means alone, namely by enthusiastic【C8】______in the art and science of yoga practice. What held good for me will hold good for you too. Today you also have the benefit of many gifted yoga teachers. When I began yoga, there was, I am sorry to say, no wise, kind teacher to【C9】______me. In fact my own instructor refused to answer any of my innocent【C10】______on yoga. He did not【C11】______me as I do my students, offering them step-by-step guidance【C12】______a posture. He would simply demand a posture and【C13】______it to me or his other students to【C14】______how it could be realized. Perhaps that stimulated some stubborn【C15】______of my nature, which allied to unshakable faith in the subject of yoga made me burn to【C16】______. I am passionate, and maybe I needed to show the world that I was not【C17】______. But far more than that, I wanted to find out who I was. I wanted to understand this mysterious and【C18】______"yoga," which could reveal to us our innermost【C19】______, as equally as it revealed those of the universe【C20】______us and our place in it as joyful, suffering, puzzled human beings.
While western governments worry over the threat of Ebola, a more pervasive but far less harmful【C1】______ is spreading through their populations like a winter sniffle: mobile personal technology. The similarity between disease organisms and personal devices is【C2】______. Viruses and other parasites control larger organisms,【C3】______ resources in order to multiply and spread. Smartphones and other gadgets do the same thing,【C4】______ ever-increasing amounts of human attention and electricity supplied【C5】______ wire umbilici. It is tempting to【C6】______ a "strategy" to both phages and phablets, neither of which is sentient. 【C7】______, the process is evolutionary, consisting of many random evolutions, 【C8】______ experimented with by many product designers. This makes it all the more powerful. Tech【C9】______ occurs through actively-learnt responses, or "operant conditioning" as animal be haviourists call it. The scientific parallel here also involves a rodent, typically a rat, which occupies a【C10】______ cage called a Skinner Box. The animal is【C11】______ with a food pellet for solving puzzles and punished with an electric shock when it fails. "Are we getting a positive boost of hormones when we【C12】______ look at our phone, seeking rewards?" asks David Shuker, an animal behaviourist at St Andrews university, sounding a little like a man withholding serious scientific endorsement【C13】______ an idea that a journalist had in the shower. Research is needed, he says. Tech tycoons would meanwhile【C14】______ that the popularity of mobile devices is attributed to the brilliance of their designs. This is precisely what people whose thought processes have been【C15】______ by an invasive pseudo-organism would believe. 【C16】______, mobile technology causes symptoms less severe than physiological diseases. There are even benefits to【C17】______ sufferers for shortened attention spans and the caffeine overload triggered by visits to Starbucks for the free Wi-Fi. Most importantly, you can【C18】______ the Financial Times in places as remote as Alaska or Sidcup. In this【C19】______, a mobile device is closer to a symbiotic organism than a parasite. This would make it【C20】______ to an intestinal bacterium that helps a person to stay alive, rather than a virus that may kill you.
Nowadays, amateur photography has become a troubling issue. Citizens of rich countries have got used to being watched by closed-circuit cameras that【C1】______roads and cities. But as cameras【C2】______and the cost of storing data decreases rapidly, it is individuals who are taking the pictures. Some 10,000 people are already testing a【C3】______of Google Glass. It aims to reproduce all the functions of a smartphone in a device placed on a person"s nose. Its flexible frame holds both a camera and a【C4】______screen, and makes it easy for users to take photos, send【C5】______and search for things online. Glass may fail, but a wider revolution is under way. In Russia, where insurance【C6】______is common, at least 1 million cars already have cameras with them that film the road ahead. Police forces in America are starting to【C7】______officers with video cameras, pinned to their uniforms, which record their interactions with the public. Widespread recording can already do a lot of good. Car-cams can help resolve insurance claims and encourage people to drive better. Police-cams can discourage criminals from making groundless complaints【C8】______police officers and officers from【C9】______the suspects. Optimists see broader benefits【C10】______Plenty of people carry activity trackers to【C11】______their exercise or sleep patterns; cameras could do the job more effectively, perhaps also【C12】______their wearers" diets. "Personal black boxes" might be able to transmit pictures【C13】______their owner falls victim to an accident or crime. Not everybody will be【C14】______by these prospects. A perfect digital memory would probably be a pain, preserving unhappy events as well as【C15】______ones Suspicious spouses and employers might feel【C16】______review it. The bigger worry is for those in front of the cameras, not【C17】______them. The web is filled with sneaky photos of women,【C18】______in public places. Wearable cameras will make such furtive photography easier. The combination of cameras everywhere—in bars, on streets, in offices, on people"s heads—is a powerful and【C19】______one. We may not be far from a world【C20】______which your movements could be tracked all the time.

Drinking water and water for domestic use often come from groundwater. In order to protect this water, local water authorities can apply to local administrative authorities to mark certain locations as water protection areas. The size of these areas is calculated in such a way that the quantity of groundwater taken from them corresponds to the actual rainfall going into them. In the water protection areas certain uses of the land and activities on the land are banned or restricted. Water protection areas fall into three zones. Zone 3 is the outermost zone with a diameter of 4 kilometers around the groundwater well. Here no chemical works or the use of pesticides(杀虫剂) are allowed. Zone 2 is determined around the so-called 50-day line. It is assumed that after 50 days in the groundwater harmful bacteria will have died off. Here settlements and fertilizer storage are forbidden. Zone 1 marks the ten-meter boundary around the well. Here, any use of the land, as well as access by unauthorized persons, is forbidden.
