Manners nowadays in metropolitan cities like London are practically non-existent. It is nothing for a big, strong schoolboy to elbow an elderly woman aside in the dash for the last remaining seat on the tube or bus, much less stand up and offer his seat to her, as he ought to. In fact, it is saddening to note that if a man does offer his seat to an older woman, it is nearly a Continental man or one from the older generation.
This question of giving up seats in public transport is much argued about by young men, who say that, since women have claimed equality, they no longer deserve to be treated with courtesy and that those who go out m work should take their turn in the rat race like anyone else. Women have never claimed to be physically as strong as men. Even if it is not agreed, however, that young men should stand up for younger women, the fact remains that courtesy should be shown to the old, the sick and the burdened. Are we really so lost to all ideals of unselfishness that we can sit them indifferently reading the paper or a book, saying to ourselves "First come, first served," while a gray-haired woman, a mother with a young child or a cripple stands? Yet this is all too often seen.
Conditions in travel are realty very hard on everyone, we know, but hardship is surely no excuse. Sometimes one wonders what would have been the behavior of these stout young men in a packed refugee train on its way to a prisoncamp during the War. Would they have considered it only right and their proper due to keep the best places for themselves then?
Older people, tired and irritable from a day’ s work, are not angle, either — far from it. Many a brisk argument or an insulting quarrel breaks out as the weary queues push and shove each other to get on buses and tubes. One cannot commend this, of course, but one does feel there is just a little more excuse.
If cities are to remain pleasant places to live in, however, it seems imperative, not only that communications in transport should be improved, but also that communication between human beings should be kept smooth and polite. All over cities, it seems that people are too fired and too rushed to be polite. Shop assistant won’ t bother to assist, taxi-drivers growl at each other as they dash dangerously round comers, bus conductors pull the bell before their desperate passengers have had time to get on or off the bus, and so on and so on. It seems to us that it is up to the young and strong to do their small part to stop such deterioration.
What is the writer’ s opinion concerning courteous manners towards women?
选项
A、Now that women have claimed equality, they no longer need to be treated differently from men.
B、It is generally considered old-fashioned for young men to give up their seats to young women.
C、Ladies first should be universally practiced.
D、Special consideration ought to be shown to them.
答案
D
解析
细节判断题。文章引用了别人的观点,即有人认为既然妇女已经要求平等,她们就不应该要求男人向他们显示关怀,而作者却认为:“Women have never claimed to be physically as strong as men.”即妇女们从来没有声明她们在体力上和男人是平等的(因而向女人提供帮助是有益的)。
