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 drivers seat is another matter.Road politeness is not only good manners, but a good sense. It takes the most coolheaded 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 quarrelling 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 becomes so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behavior of politeness is by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays dont even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. A typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may not be 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 a traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers cant 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 would demand more giveandtake (互谅互让) from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.11The passage mainly talks about _.Atraffic jams Bgood mannersCroad politeness Dmodern drivers12Troubles on the road are often caused by _.Atraffic jamsBthe behavior of the driversCthe great speed of modern lifeDterrible road conditions13According to the writer, a good driver should _.Aencourage children to cross the road whenever they want toBbeat back when forced to face rude drivingCbe able to recognize politeness when he sees itDjoin in a traffic stream quickly however other people feel14It is not always right for drivers to _.Amaster the roadmanshipBneglect politeness when they see itCgive a friendly nod in answer to an act of politenessDencourage old ladies to cross the road whenever and wherever they want to Mr. Baker lived in an old and low house.

Mr. Baker ran after it quickly, with a stick in his hand. But the beast ran much faster than he.

It was seen more as a medium to inform the buyers rather than persuade them to buy. The present day marketers see advertisement as a medium to damage the image of their competitors and their products. This indeed, is an undesirable and an immoral practice. Instead of speaking about their own products, these marketers speak about the drawbacks (often without any basics) of the competing products.People watching TV advertisements would notice that there has always been an advertisement war between the marketers of different consumer goods. A few such cases are given below.1. Parachute Coconut Oil vs. V.V.D. GoldSome time back, the producer of V.V.D Gold Coconut Oil claimed in their TV advertisement that only their products was superior and the one sold in blue colour bottles (the reference was to Parachute coconut oil) was suitable only for un-natural hair.2. Tata Salt vs. Captain CookTata salt was first iodised (碘处理) salt marketed by an Indian Company. It has been enjoying a good and steady market. Captain Cook, another producer of iodised salt, who entered the market later, had to adopt some strategy to get control of the market. The TV advertisement of Captain Cook stressed on Free flow of their salt when transferred to a container. The producer of Tata Salt retaliated (报复) by saying that the claim of Captain Cook was a trick and those who were quality conscious should deal with it with caution.3. Pepsi vs. Coco ColaCoca Cola was selected as the official soft drink for the Wills World Cricket 1996. When the cricket series was on, the marketers of Pepsi constantly advertised on TV. Their advertisement gave the idea that the cricketers preferred only Pepsi and as a matter of fact there was nothing official about it.4. Horlicks vs. ComplanSometime back, the TV advertisement of Complan, a health drink directly attacked Horlicks, which has been in the market for several decades. The claim of Complan was that their brand (which according to them was Brand C) has a higher percentage of ingredients (材料) compared to Brand H (reference was nothing but to Horlicks).The above examples clearly show how the technique of advertisement is misused by some marketers to ruin the image of their competitors. This, certainly, is not a healthy trend.Any marketer should only speak about his products and not about his competitors products. The awareness of consumers has certainly increased over the years and they are no longer easily taken in. There are many consumer products like salt, oil shaving blades etc. But one thing for sure is that offering the same product in a different container will not make the product different.Mass media like Radio, Television and newspaper should not allow advertisements that tell lies. Legal regulations, in this regard, should also be made stricter.Comparison of the past and the present of advertisementsIn the pastAt presentA technique mainly used for offering 45A trick used as a means of unfair 46The 47 of advertisement48ProductsWrong practicesV.V.D.
