JamieBOne day when I was five, my mother scolded me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not be made to finish eating my old rice. In my angry movement toopen the screen door with my foot, I had kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no remorse, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have scolded my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking for such behavior. My parents never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door be, creating an opening, a breach (裂缝) in the defense against unwanted insects.For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would constantly remind me of my mistake. For years I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who didit. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in throughthe hole that I had created with my angry foot. I would wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home, makinglife more terrible for us all.My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的) words perhaps could not deliver.

TechsectionDIt is quite reasonable to blame traffic jams, the cost of gas and the great speed of modern life, butmanners on the road are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men would becomefierce tigers behind the wheel. It is all right to have a tiger in a cage, but to have one in the driver'sseat is another matter.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense. It takes the most cool-headed driversgreat 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. Afriendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere ofgood will and becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politenessen seem able to recognize politenessare by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t evwhen they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver whowaves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be ableto stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and wheneverthey want to.An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt tocorrectly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages(堵塞) that give rise to unpleasantfeelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship (公路驾车技能). Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership woulddemand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message toheart.12.

Road politeness is good sense as well as good mannersC.A friendly driver should nod or wave thanks in answer to an act of politenessD. It is also right to have a tiger in the driver's seat15.
