It is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the【31】pace of modern life, but manners on the roads are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters【32】the wheel. It is all very well, again, to have a tiger in the tank, but to have one in the driver's seat is【33】matter altogether. You might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rude and inconsiderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the【34】to the rule. Perhaps the situation【35】a "Be Kind to Other Drivers" campaign,【36】it may get completely【37】
Road politeness is not only good manners, but good【38】too. It takes the most cool-headed and good-tempered of drivers to【39】the temptation to revenge when【40】to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards【41】the tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in【42】to an act of politeness helps to【43】an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modem traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too【44】today. Many drivers nowadays don't even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
【45】, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who brakes【46】to allow a car to emerge【47】a side street at some hazard to following traffic,【48】a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway; or the man who waves a child across a zebra【49】into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop【50】
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 all of us to take this message to heart.

Section B Directions: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished sentences. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice.
Passage One
Questions 57 to 61 are based on the following passage.
According to a report, around 30,000 pupils started secondary school last year with the math skills of a seven-year-old. MPs (国会议员) warned that many young people would need “expensive” remedial lessons in later life to get a job — posing major problems for the economy. The findings came just months after Ofsted(教育标准办公室)claimed almost half of math lessons in English schools were not good enough. It said many teachers relied on textbooks and mundane exercises to make sure pupils passed exams at the expense of a proper understanding of the subject. MPs backed the conclusions, saying too many pupils found lessons “boring”. They insisted improvements had been made under Labor but achievement had “leveled off” in recent years.
In 2008, 79 percent of pupils met the Government’s expected standard at the end of primary school, well short of the 85 percent target set for 2006. Around five percent moved to secondary school with the math skills of a seven- year-old, said the committee. In 2006, £2.3 billion was spent teaching the subject. It equates to around a quarter of the £10 billion total budget for primary teaching and support staff.
The report said the Department for Children, Schools and Families (DCSF) needed to “radically rethink its strategy for improving pupil attainment; otherwise we seriously doubt that the department will meet its 2011 target”. The target demands that 84.5 percent of pupils will make the necessary progress between 7 and 11.
Last year, the DCSF published a major review of math education in England to boost standards. It called for a math specialist in every primary school within 10 years and more emphasis on mathematical “play” in nursery schools. Mr. Leigh said, “The department’s 10-year program to train 13,000 specialist math teachers will not benefit some primary schools for another decade. That’s far too long; the department needs to look for ways to accelerate the program.” Sarah McCarthy Fry, the Schools Minister, said, “We have already accepted the main recommendation from a recent independent review of primary math that every school should have a specialist math teacher and have pledged £24 million over the next three years for a training program for teachers.”
Nick Gibb, the Tory shadow schools secretary, said, “The Government is not getting value for the money they have piled into education and the country is falling behind in international league tables as a result. The Government has failed to replace methods of teaching which have failed with tried and tested methods used in countries that have much higher levels of math achievement.”
