speed of modern life，but manners on the road are becoming horrible.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 altogether.Road politeness is not only good manners，but good sense too.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 calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions.But such behaviours of politeness are 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.Typical example is the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time.The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to.It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.An experienced driver，whose manners are faultless，told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings.Unfortunately，modern drivers cant even learn to drive，let alone master the road manship.Years ago，experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more giveandtake from all road users.It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.56According to the passage，troubles on the road are often caused by _.Aroad conditionsBthe speed of modern lifeCthe behaviour of the driversDthe large number of cars57The underlined word “giveandtake” in the 4th paragraph probably means “_”Apoliteness and impolitenessBgood manners and bad mannersCoffering help to others as much as possibleDwillingness of each person to give in to each others wishes58According to the writer，a good driver should _.Abeat back when forced to face rude drivingBbe able to recognize politeness when he sees itCencourage old ladies to cross the road whenever they want toDjoin in traffic stream quickly however other people feel59What is the best title of the passage？ARoad PolitenessBTraffic ProblemsCBad Manners on the RoadDGood Drivers and Bad DriversBKieron Williamson，a sevenyearold boy，is being considered as an art genius after selling 16 paintings for 18，000 pounds in just 14 minutes.This boy has artistic skills that would be the envy of any serious painter and his paintings invited comparisons with those of Pablo Picassos，a wonder child who became one of the greatest artists of the 20th century.It all began on a family holiday to Cornwall when Kieron was five.Inspired by the seaside view，he asked his parents for his first drawing paper.From that moment on，he was deeply interested in drawing.While supportive，Kierons parents are careful not to push their son.He only paints when and what he wants.He has a waiting list of hundreds and requests for his work are increasing.His father said the sale of Kierons works held last November even attracted a buyer from Japan.“We had people driving down that night.There were people on the door waiting to come in the morning that had been standing outside.The phones were going mad as soon as the door opened at nine oclock and within 14 minutes all the 16 pictures had gone，” he said.All the talent，money and high praise could so easily go to a young boys head，but Kieron said his friends didnt give his achievement much care.“Some of them want to be as good as me and most of them think.Umm，you are not too special，”he said.Kierons favourite painter is British artist Edward Seago and he has spent some of his earnings on buying a work of his.The rest is being invested by his parents until he reaches 25.Kierons parents and his younger sister BilliJo dont see him as anything other than a normal sevenyearold who likes to run around the house and whos mad about football.But for now，with so much still to learn，theres only one thing he wants to be when he grows up.60According to Paragraph 1，we can know Kieron Williamson _.Ais one of the greatest artistsBdraws as well as Picasso didChas unusual ability to paintDcan paint 16 paintings in 14 minutes61What made Kieron Williamson begin to love painting？AThe view at the seaside.BHis first painting paper.CHis parents encouragement.DWhat he saw and heard during the family holiday.62In most of Kieron Williamsons friends eyes，_.AKieron isnt worth the praiseBKieron is an example to themCKieron is famous but a little proudDKieron is not very different from them63It can be inferred from the passage that _.AKieron likes doing sports more than paintingBBilliJo envies her brother for his talent in paintingCKierons parents spent much money on his paintingDKieron had become famous before he sold the 16 picturesCI used to know nothing about fairy tales.To improve my reading skills，my mother gave me books that are a little bit difficult for me to understand.I didnt even know that fairy tales existed until I attended public school at the age of eight.Of course once I found out about books of this type，I would read them as quickly as I could.Again and again，I begged my mother to take me to the library and let me choose a few.Finally，my request was granted.After our return from the library，I started reading them eagerly and energetically，one after another.And I tried to put myself in the female characters shoes.I found she had to suffer before the handsome prince came to her rescue，and then they would live happily ever after.I asked my mother why she never let me know about fairy tales.Looking straight in my eyes，she told me that life is not like a fairy tale.There are good and bad things that will happen through life.At the end，though，there is not a man that will come and “save” us.We do not need saving；we instead want someone in our lives to share those good moments and bad ones；we want someone we can rely on and also they can rely on us.Life is not about “happily ever after”What then is life about mom？Life is the boy finding he loves every little thing about you，even the annoying things.He holds your hands and says “come with me” and you live，laugh and love together.But things are not going to be perfect.You still have to face difficulties together，working hard for your relationship.64Before the age of eight，the author _.Areceived no formal educationBtook no interest in reading booksCdidnt read any books of fairy talesDwas forced to improve her reading skills65What happened to the author after she attended public school？AShe started to like reading.BShe was crazy about fairy tales.CHer mother always took her to the library.DHer mother didnt allow her to read books of fairy tales.66Whats the authors understanding of fairy tales at first？AThey reflect part of the real world.BThey are unreal but worth reading.CThe major characters always have a happy ending.DThe major characters will be rewarded for their kindness.67How does the authors mother like fairy tales？AA must for her kid.BUnnecessary for her kid.CEasy for her kid to understand.DHelpful in building her kids character.DIt is reported that Japans Nissan Motor Company has officially announced the next big thinga paint that not only resists scratches，but actually repairs itself within a few days.The new material，developed by Nippon Paint Company，contains a special chemical like rubber that is able to heal small marks caused by car wash equipment，parking lot encounters，broken stones or even onpurpose destruction.The automaker admits its results vary depending on the temperature and the depth of the damage，but he also says that this is the only paint like it in the world，and tests prove it works.Small scratches，the most common type，are said to slowly fade over about a week.And once theyre gone，there is no mark left where they ever were.The special paint is said to last for at least three years after it is first applied，but there is no word yet on whether more can be added after that period.Nissan says car washes are the worst ones that are to blame for this type of damage.At least 80 percent of all incidents are caused by washing cars.However，the special paint doesnt come cheap，and will add about $100 to the price of a car.It plans to use its new chemical mixture only on its XTrail_SUVs in Japan for now.And while plans to offer the paint overseas havent been made yet，if its a hit in Japan，you can be almost sure market forces will drive it to other countries，as well.68From the article，we can find that _.Athe paint has already been used on ears by nowBit beats other products of its kind in its lasting effectCcar damage is always caused by scratchesDmarketing this paint in Europe is not under way69The paint used on cars can _.Aat most last 3 years before it is reapplied againBfade away in only one or two daysChelp to protect cars from light paint damageDreduce car scratches incidents to 80 percent70What does the underlined part “XTrail SUVs” refer to？ACertain models of Nissan.BName for one kind of paint.CSomewhere in Japan.DA word standing for a car factory
